Review of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares (UK)

The show is alternatively entertaining and, based on the cooking spaces of some of the restaurants featured here, horrifying. I was worried it would simply be a showcase for Ramsay's renowned temper and excessive profanity but, while there is plenty of that, most episodes do a good job of making you root for the recovery and success of the establishments featured. There's a surprising amount of heart here.

The only complaint I have is that they would artificially extend the earlier seasons by including revisit episodes as standalone episodes. This means you would have to sit through 35 minutes of exact repeated material to get 10 minutes of new material. Thankfully they dropped those episodes later on in the series.
