Spoilers Below
So 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!
