Selena plus Chef - Season 1, Episode 11: Friendsgiving
Trailer
As for the excitement of that reality series that follows the every day action of Selena Gomez that spends more time in kitchen after social distancing. She joins a gathering of chefs and gives food tips and tricks.
A show about what we're living through. Not merely is Gomez forcing herself through a challenging mission, learning to cook, she's also doing so while learning to show us aspects of herself she'd resisted giving up thus far.
Gomez's series isn't necessarily a cooking tutorial (although you can pick up a few tips!) as much as it's a cathartic and lighthearted comedy gently inviting the audience to relate to the daunting task of learning something new.
This new streamer, which airs from Thursday, August 13 on HBO Max, proves the latter point but raises some questions about the former. As it turns out, Selena can't cook very well - but she doesn't seem to enjoy it much either.
This is just two people in separate kitchens making recipes. You see that she's learning...and it's fun going through the process with her...she's so relatable...
