For my first food media review, I will be talking about a show that is streamed on Netflix called  Nailed It! This show has had two other versions of it, Nailed It! Mexico and Nailed It! Spain but I have never gone out my way to watch them Nailed It has five sessions to keep you very occupied. This show is presented by Nicole Byer, a television host, and Jacques Torres, a French pastry chef. On the show every episode they have as well a guest judge. Who helps them judge the masterpieces that are recreated by the contestants. Byer and Torres are very funny together as judges/hosts, they try to interact with the contestants and as well with each other trying to show a good time during this hard competition that it may be for the contestants. 

Nailed It! is about home bakers who don’t have good baking experiences in the kitchen and are very inexperienced when it comes to pastries. They go to this competition to seek redemption and cash on this series. In each episode, three contestants try their skills at re-creating edible masterpieces that have been done before. The re-creations do not always turn out great, but whichever amateur baker comes closest to a successful dessert by the end of the episode takes home the $10,000 price, which they might want to use on baking lessons or do other dessert related things. For each recreation, all the judges taste the masterpieces created and that is how they decide who wins or not, is not a lot about looks it is about the taste and which one is better and closest to the original one. 

I have watched every season of the series and for this assignment, I decided to focus on the last season that came out, season 5. This season is called Double Trouble it is within the same concept as the previous ones but the thing that changes is that instead of three single contestants there are due contestants. They could either be siblings, friends, or somehow related or connected, they both go into the competition to prove their pastries skills. For me, in a way, this season has been more interesting to watch because you see the connection between the contestants together and how well or not they work with each other.  I think this show is very entertaining and fun to watch with your family. I usually watch it with my family or alone in our free time. The episodes are not too long they are about 34 minutes long and every season has about 6-8 episodes, which you can probably binge-watch. But I do have to say that as entertaining as it is as you continue to watch it, it will continue to feel a little repetitive and you will get kind of bored of it. But as you continue to watch the show it will get better because the theme and the masterpieces change every episode and the pieces the contestants try to re-create keep getting more and more interesting. The show has this different and original concept because is not about perfection and being the greatest is mostly about effort and trying to do a good job to win and learn from this experience.
