I am a huge fan of this show in the US, but have to say Shame on the producers for allowing Peter (season five) to disrespect our American flag by serving his bagels in a flag! As a veteran, I expect our allies to respect our flag as I respect yours!

Yep, 9 stars for a cooking show! Even I'm surprised at that. Thank you Netflix for bringing 4 seasons (series) to your U.S. audience. Please bring us more! I would love to see every episode since its inception. I had no idea Brits take their baking so seriously so this was a real eye opener. The variety of bakery items and the wide range of genuine talent among hobbyist home bakers is truly astonishing. This show has wonderful personalities in key roles, plus the contestants present us with their unflapable, always polite demeanor, along with a good deal of humor as they deal with the nerve wracking stress of their tasks. The contestants are all so engaging that it's hard for the viewer to pick a favorite from show to show. One contestant in the U.S. Series 3, Ian, could have his own tv show, he was that entertaining. Be prepared to get a craving for something sweet when you watch this.

I love this show because there are a bunch of diverse people who compete to win the "Great Baker" award. I saw this on Netflix and I even re watch the episodes I have seen before. The hosts are funny and I also like the judges. The judges are not mean spirited and they come across as professional. In one episode, the judges have to make a "princess cake." This show is also great because I get to see recipes and types of baked goods that I have never heard of before in my entire life. The cinematography is good too. This is a reality show that is well done and does not feel cheesy. I also like how things do not seem fake. I recommend this show to people who like to watch competitive cooking shows. Excellent!

Myself and my family discovered this in 2012 because as usual, you have 100 channels and there was nothing on. It's really enjoyable and it makes you hungry by looking at what the participants baked. Although during whatever they are baking, you would honestly get frustrated because you wouldn't want at least one of them to screw up their cakes. This would mostly happen when time is running out for them to finish off what they made!Even though, you wouldn't like Paul Hollywood for his deep criticism but seriously, he's like the best baker in the world. I love how the bakers just act awkward whenever he checks around. This is like checking if the bakers are doing their jobs properly! It's funny!You would absolutely love Mary Berry, she is like the mommy of the whole lot. She criticises more nicely than Paul Hollywood. I say that ticks him off haha! Now, who on earth would forget Mel and Sue as the hosts?! They are such good Craic and they really do make you laugh, regardless if this was a tense moment for the bakers to be making the cakes! They are also extremely helpful if either of the bakers are stuck or need a little hand. Who doesn't love them? They are such legends.I would definitely recommend people watching this whenever it's on!
