Anyone else watching? I loved him on GBBO but finding this very irritating to watch.

The camera shots are all over the place. He’s trying too hard. Strange noises and arms flailing all over the place, and annoying friends. And the background music is distracting too.

I’m watching this and I went to make a thread on it too. I loved him on GBBO but I’m not feeling it on this.

The whole programme is try to hard with the emphasis on the cool phrases. The friends are just irritating. It’s like Jamie Oliver in the early days and food tv has moved on from that.

And I don’t like the recipes which is putting me off it most. That chip shop fish sandwich was ridiculous. A whole dinner in a loaf of bread. You couldn’t eat it. And who would bring a tiered giant cake to a friends party like he did in the first episode. Nothing he has cooked has made me want to make it or just drool over it which is usually what I like when I watch food tv.

It's boring and awful. His voice is just not interesting, the recipes are dull - in fact after tonight's plantain tarte I couldn't tell you what he did - and I'm not cooking that. Ditto weird camera, don't care about the friends, it's all just very very awkward, staged and dull dull dull.

It’s one of the most boring cooking/baking programmes ever. Reminds me of Jamie Oliver in his early days on TV but so much worse. As someone previously said he’s just trying too hard and trying to be very hip and trendy. It’s not for me.

Totally agree, it's trying too hard with both the style and the food. He seems like a nice guy, but he isn't quite charismatic enough or in possession of enough gravitas to make a really good telly cook, so they've thrown boxes of tricks at it instead.
