Essentially Jeremy Allen White is playing Lip as a well established cook in a downtown sandwich shop. The pacing is that of shameless but it's very difficult to follow because the "comedy" aspect of the show comes from the deplorable and insufferable personalities of everyone while being disorienting because of how edited and zoomed in the camera is on everyone's faces as they are bickering. I understand that it can be artistically seen as the feeling of anxiety and pressure in the restaurant business but it was difficult to keep interested. Though if you like shameless, you like the raunchy and harsh razor-edge personalities of downtown lower middle class, and the stress of good acting mixed with restaurant business, this show might be for you.
