Whenever they focussed on the Japanese protagonist, the story more or less got interesting. The French lead though is an unlikeable character, whose story is built on a series of very tired cliches around the apprentice kind (remember Karate Kid)? She also seems to be learning all there's to know about wines around the world, in a month. She also appears to have retrained her neurological responses to food and wine in a matter of a few sittings with some sort of psychologist. The whole story is completely unrealistic and hard as I wanted to accept the premises, the series just kept on becoming more and more cliche and utterly, utterly predictable.
