ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

meriko87 I loved everything about the show. The story, the cast, the cinematography. The way the story goes... For the time I was watching it, which was a little bit lonely and just a bit depressing, I loved to have this to go to...

connolley325 Spoilers BelowSo far I've seen two episodes and am not going to continue to watch this. It's very cliched and has wooden dialogue. I don't know the point -- does the main character want to become a chef or what? The lead actress walks around like she's a half-wit with her mouth gaping open, gawking at people as if she's never seen humans before. Her first day at the restaurant, she walks around in a daze and does absolutely nothing. In such a high-end restaurant, I think she'd be shown the door after 10 minutes of this behavior, but no, she manages to somehow get away with doing nothing. She supposedly has a degree in literature but tells the manager in her interview that she's not reading anything right now when he asks her -- couldn't they have a least have her state a book or two? Everyone ignores her on her first day and rush around manically, maybe this is normal restaurant staff etiquette but I found it annoying. She was supposed to fill salt shakers and bus some plates but fails to do most of this.There are some cliches like the dramatic gay guy, the aggressive lesbian, the aloof wine expert, the hot bartender, the stuffy manager, and so on. In the second episode, she leaves to go home at the end of her shift, orders food, realizes she forgot her wallet at work, returns to work to find a big party going on, and is told it's a nightly thing. Why didn't anyone tell her? Then she goes to another bar (forgets her wallet again), gets hit in the face at the other bar, does cocaine, drinks a ton of shots (also acting like she's never done cocaine by readily snorts it after having had some put on her split lip), and goes to pay for the drinks (EVERONE'S DRINKS?) and realizes she again (third time) didn't have her wallet. I was really irritated by this -- I hope her wallet is long gone. I'm out!

rkezer77 I've read the book that the show is based on and it was incredibly relatable due to the fact of working in restaurants for awhile. So hopes were pretty high on this. The pace and storytelling is great so far but the casting for a few characters is definitely questionable, especially Tess. Giving it a shot for the first season, hope it lives up to potential.

SusanLervold I gave the series a shot out of desperation from lack of anything new to watch, so my expectations were fairly low going in. Yikes, it's bad. Surprisingly bad. The lead actress is very pretty, but looks alone is clearly not enough. I can't tell if it's her acting or if it's the director's fault, but her "I'm so wide-eyed and curious," bit made my gorge rise. I wanted to poke her with something sharp.I'd rather watch a "Survivor" rerun than this drivel.
