There are a few reasons you might decide to switch off a new show you are watching - maybe it's too much of a slow burner, the plot falls flat or you just simply can't get into it.
But for Jamie Oliver, the deciding factor is whether or not the actors chopping skills are up to scratch.
The celebrity chef and restaurateur revealed he had to give up on the US comedy-drama The Bear because he couldn't stand to watch their culinary skills - or lack of, according to him.
Shameless star Jeremy Allen White is the frontman of the FX series, which follows the journey of his character Carmy as he attempts to transform a sandwich shop in Chicago that was left to him by his late brother.
The young chef has got quite a chaotic kitchen on his hands, that is pretty hard for him to handle despite his past experience in swanky Michelin star restaurants.

He is left juggling his brother's mountain of debt and the rundown family restaurant while trying to manage his unruly staff.
The Bear proved a hit with viewers and critics alike, who described the series as 'thrilling, ambitious, funny and devastating'. So much so, that it has just been renewed for a third season.
But Oliver wasn't as easily pleased by the culinary comedy, as he thinks it made a mockery of the real work chefs put in when whipping up our grub.
During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show last week, the 48-year-old said it really 'winds him up' to see actors portraying chefs when they can't actually handle the heat in the kitchen.

Host Graham Norton asked whether it 'bugs' him to watch people who 'aren't cooking right' on the telly.
Oliver replied: "It really does. I’ve got to get back into The Bear because I watched the first two [episodes] – and I know it’s brilliant, everyone keeps telling me how brilliant it is – but I watched the first two and I’m like, 'He can’t chop'.
"They just jump cut it and cut around it. And they often get extras in the background that are actors, not chefs, even though they’ve got no lines.
"But they’re just touching it all wrong and sort of bashing it all wrong… Yeah, it does wind me up."

According to reports, White spent 10 days training at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) while gearing up to take on the role of Carmy, as he confessed that he didn't know his way around a kitchen.
The Iron Claw star told the ICE blog: "I couldn’t have gotten into The Bear or gone into the environment that I went into without ICE. I was really clueless – and that’s not me being modest or humble – I had no experience in the kitchen at all."
