Ingredients Episode 9

Ending with a whimper

A disappointing episode... the episode formatting of the series is getting tiresome and when they don’t significantly tie the cooking, which what makes this series unique, with the rest of the storyline of the episode then it falls flat. This episode is an example of that. Episode 9 doesn’t really advance Marwin and Top’s relationship in any way. The whole Marwin eating more vegetable thing is the main revelation of the episode?!?! Very disappointing considering that this is the penultimate episode of the series. Additionally, Marwin is getting very irritating. I hate how their portraying him more like a spoiled kid with Tops as his servant to do his bidding. I guess that’s a bit of his character but I wish they would just keep it cute and weave the cooking aspects better in these last episodes.Hope they end this thing with much more of a bang!Btw - this is the first episode where Tops the Supermarket chain, the sponsor and producer of this series, is in your face.
