  • Really wanted to like!

    The story was interesting and the presenter did a good job, but it could have used some serious editing. This should have been six episodes at most. For a very compelling story, it got downright boring at times. I hope the presenter continues to present stories and continues to hone her craft.

  • Interesting!

    Overall, I found it well done and interesting. My main gripe is that she seems to revere government food inspectors as some kind of heroes, while I think of them as parasites.
