I was expecting more of the great analytical insight, experience and a little science behind what makes certain dishes "work" as they are intended... or dont work if not done right. A bit of deconstruction, alternate techniques, importance of certain ingredients and whatnot to achieve desired results (taste and texture). I was hoping to learn something.
This show isn't about educating the audience as before, but the contestants learning and growing - like any other cooking competition game show. And that's fine, except that hasn't been what ATK was about and what I was expecting. I found the 1hr slot seemed long and drawn out, whereas with the old ATK format time seemed to go by too fast.
It's not a bad show as far as a cooking competition goes, I guess, but it is not ATK as we have known it. It's just another cooking competition. But I must say the host kept me watching just to get a glimpse of her entirety... knowmsayn? She fine!!
But I am into the more advanced cooking competition shows, and kinda have a full plate on that subject, to make pun. Again, I was hoping for some insightful, educational cooking tips, do's and dont's, etc. Not delivered in that respect.

What is depicted is NOT the proper or safe way to manage diabetes. This does not explore any other method than consuming industrial levels of ultra-rapid insulin, then eating industrial levels of fast carbs. Using more insulin and eating junk-food is good for BigPharma. This is like a tug-of-war between two Monster Trucks with your blood glucose level as the flag in the center. Should your metabolism change for any reason (cold/flu, high exercise, menstruation, etc), then one of those Monster Trucks is going into the bleachers and you are in trouble that requires swift correction.
The safer way, per my experience and MANY others, is less carbs (and slower carbs) and less amount of a regular insulin (slower acting)-- making it more a tug-of-war between two golf-carts. Should your metabolism change, then one of those golf-carts is only going to roll a few yards, giving you more time to react/correct.... and so is much safer "Funny" that this dangerous "advice" portrayed here has the same title as the book by Dr. Bernstein (an 80+ y/o T1D with zero complications), which outlines a FAR more sensible approach.

Pay no mind to the 'serious' detractors of a whimsical fantasy-based tale. This is a family-friendly and lighthearted take on the legend. The acting may not be big-screen caliber, but it's decent enough and I am happy to support new and budding talent. If you go into it knowing what it is, a fantasy-comedy-action show (and not an accurate account of history or serious portrayal of an ancient legend), you wont be disappointed. Great fun for the whole family.
