Kitchen nightmares has great radicalizing potential because you can see just how much the owners fucking suck in every episode, how inept they are at their jobs and how much they rely on their employees to know what to do
E: it's still reality show slop carefully edited to present the same narrative arc in every episode but you can't edit out the fact that the dipshit owners are the ones causing the problems
I loved Kitchen Nightmares for exactly that reason. Spent a long time in restaurant work (never for a small business tyrant, but corporate restaurants managers can be petty dictators also) and seeing an authority figure come in and excoriate the people in charge and directly tell them that their failures were their fault alone and not due to their overworked employees being incompetent or lazy or whatever was so cathartic.
I never worked for a restaurant, but watching that, I always wanted to have a foul-mouthed, highly respected Scottish chef yell at my bosses.
