Secret Chef (2023)
Some mysteries are better left unsolved
The conceit of Secret Chef is fun, but dissolves by the fifth episode with the final twists and turns feeling more and more scripted and less and less surprising.
They'd do well to have a real host instead of a cartoon hat... the VA is fantastic but she's a legitimate actress and would have been much more fun in person.
In a world with dozens of Celebrity Chef shows and dozens of cooking challenges, the main draw of this series is the style and the uniqueness of its premise - but that just doesn't hold your attention very long.
It also commits a reality show cardinal sin and doesn't let the cast interact outside of very tightly scripted moments with their alter-egos - who are these people? Why don't we get to learn about them? Why can't they hang out together in that fantastic set, instead of hiding for HOURS in their own little rooms?
I hope the second season (if they get one...) corrects these easily corrected flaws and gets a new cast of interesting contestants and guest stars.
Encanto (2021)
Music is fine, movie is OK
I can't believe this is so popular. None of it makes sense, the plot is just aimless, and while I love the music it also isn't really better than any other modern Disney singalong.
