Agreed fully. If they were accurately made, it would be 30 minutes of someone eating a bowl of cereal in the morning, following by 8 hours of crippling self-doubt.

Literally just read this while eating my bowl of cereal before starting work.
Bradley Ryan, over 6 years ago All solid points being made here.
But I hope you can find some inspiration in Es Devlin, Tinker Hatfield, or any of the other undeniably talented designers they featured.
To each their own.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I like watching them, but I don't find it instructive or really representative of what it's really like to be a designer, nor expect it to be. It's really just life porn.
I can only assume that "Chef's Table" make chefs insane, the same way hospital dramas make medical professionals insane. The inherent boredom of any profession and subsequent tedium of problem solving must give way to dramatic formula.
Whenever I watch these types of shows, I feel like I'm just watching a three act structure about broken people who just happen to be making things other people romanticize. The craft on display is not cooking or design, but rather, as usual, filmmaking.
