I enjoyed this six-episode series, even if it was a little heavy on the drama. I like that they showed how much these people had to sacrifice (often in mental/physical health or family relationships) to reach the point where they're considered the best.
I knew about Franco Pepe, but didn't know about the rift with his brothers. Ann Kim and Yoshihiro Imai's relationship with their parents/dealing with their disappointment was also touching. Not sure what the hell the whole samurai focus was with Imai, though.
After reading about Chris Bianco previously, it was nice to see him featured on the show.
You could tell the emphasis on local farmers/local ingredients and farm-to-table was one of their over-arching themes this season.
Really liked how they got into Pepe's process and showed him using a starter and making the dough from start to finish. They don't mention it in the Sarah Minnick episode, but she also uses a starter for her pizza.
The attempts to say Portland is the #1 pizza city in America and sell Portland as this funky oasis was amusing.
