Farmed and Dangerous

Restaurants can produce TV shows now? I want to see a McDonald's series, where lots of young dancers sing about how much they're lovin it while dealing with high school issues. Kind of like Glee with fried potatoes.

Apparently, after Twin Peaks, Ray Wise got typecast as playing evil bastards which is why he's so hard-up that he has to act in webseries funded by Chipotle, playing an organic activist's vision of an evil corporate agriculture bastard.

Chipotle takes advertising to new lows in this pandering attack ad presented as a comedy series. It spreads moronic anti-agriculture and anti-science beliefs for the sake of making Chipotle's marketing image more appealing. Don't buy into this unethical BS.

when i first started watching this show,,i thought it was a decent show but nothing spectacular. then i went back and watched it again, this time paying more attention to it. im impressed with the artistic appeal of how some scenes are filmed and the thought that is put into the visual aspect of it. for lack of better terms, it can be a bit trippy at times. i think its a all around great show and if you watch it, don't just listen to it. watch it with your undivided attention, its way more entertaining that way. it seems i need to more lines to complete this review. oh yeah,,i am confused about only 4 episodes listed on season one. is that all of them? or do we have no idea when the next episode is going to air? i would be a bit disappointed if that was all of the first season, thats for sure

After coming off a House of Cards binge I was hoping Farmed and Dangerous might provide a humorous kick up the binge to sustain my week. Alas, Hulu or Chipotle or someone has decided to share this mildly amusing series on a piecemeal schedule. I'm not sure it has the pull for me to keep checking back for the next chapter. Maybe I'll try to win some food. Netflix seems to have set a new bar for these TV series in releasing the entire season at once. Binge watching seems to be the latest trend to home entertainment. Of course the best way to binge watch is with plenty of nourishment around. For season two I made sure to have plenty of ribs (Not from Freddy's but excellent all the same) along with the usual snacks and beverages. I think Chipotle has missed an excellent marketing opportunity, because truth be known, all I wanted to do after watching F&D part one was go somewhere and get a steak.

This is an extremely cute, amusing show with the interesting premise (based on facts) that big oil now controls all food production in the country. Behind the scenes we are shown how big corporations manipulate and control public opinion. We learn about free-range farming, problems with giving constant antibiotics to livestock, all about corn, GMO, in the misguided mission of food manufacture. Food was never intended (nor should it be) manufactured. Do we really not understand why bacteria is so out of control and can't be stopped to a large degree by the formerly miraculous antibiotics? What is it we don't understand about the obesity epidemic? If I were a teacher, I would require this series to be watched and discussed in all of my classes. The show is genius, playing like a comedy but dishing out important information we should all be aware of. Ray Wise, once again, plays a devilishly delightful bad guy.
