Boiling Point

A disappointment going into this as a fan of the powerful movie. The writers have butchered out all that made the movie good and added a load of bland daytime tv soap elements that are utterly predictable and executed with maximal, juvenile clunk while also formulaically ticking off some modern socio-identity talking points. I don't have a problem with that per se but it’s not interesting and will seem dated in a few years. Another drama misfire by the BBC, like usual.

If you liked the movie, you'll like this, although the movie is the stronger of the two. Kitchen scenes are fantastic as usual, however the show keeps coming up with contrived scenarios for its characters outside the kitchen, which don't seem to fit.
