The US version of Hell's Kitchen has received a thumbs down from the critics.
The reworked reality show, which sees foul-mouthed chef Gordon Ramsay attempting to train a group of amateurs, premiered on the FOX network last night (Monday).
Variety described Ramsay as a "cartoonishly abusive snot," adding that he "overplays his part from the opening moments."
The Salt Lake City Tribune claimed that the show leaves the viewer "feeling like you're going to vomit," while the New York Daily News said that FOX was "plating and serving something almost palatable."
The San Francisco Chronicle declared: "Almost nothing in Hell's Kitchen is unique to the reality genre - it's painfully derivative on so many fronts that it sometimes seems you're watching five reality shows at once."
The show airs in the UK on ITV2 later this summer.
