A cooking show that is intense, hectic, and often compelling without the reality tv feeling or as i like to call it, Gordon Ramsification. It also reminds me heavily of the movie Birdman(2014) for some reason. Pretty good all around, wouldn’t mind a second season.

A beautiful show, it represents in a very thoughtful and specific way the work in a restaurant, reproducing quite well - I'm told - certain obsessions and struggles, even though there's some "poetic licenses", of course. But it goes beyond the specificity and becomes relatable by anybody thanks to the impeccable writing, the great cast of actors and the ambitious direction, both in small things and in bigger stuff like the tracking shot episode. The guest stars are also amazing, particularly "that one": it's already great when you hear that voice in one of the first episodes but then he appears and suddenly the two charismatic stars become gregarious and awestruck. Also, huge shout out to Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who approaches this show charged up like someone who spent twenty years coming from the bench, finally has got the chance of a lifetime as a starter and gives you 42 points, 18 assists, 13 rebounds and 6 steals.

the excessive yelling makes it annoying to watch

A series that brings you to the life of a restaurant kitchen and all its problems. Stressful and warm at the same time.
