Thrilled to see you here, Dom! Is it too much to hope that Melanie might follow suit?
Dan and I enjoyed this show--well, maybe I did more than he did because he grew weary of the drama/trauma with no resolutions or change. I did not love the incessant (truly incessant!) screaming of profanities and did not feel that was necessary to the plot, but there was something about the realism of these characters and their woundedness that drew me in. You are right -- it's a different kind of TV. I'm not sure if they are making more, but I'll be tuning in.
Hi Danielle, thanks! Actually Melanie preceded me onto Substack. Here is her stack: https://melaniebettinelli.substack.com. I just neglected to link it already!
I agree that the profanity is a bit much, although in my recollection true to life in a restaurant kitchen. I do wonder at times what the diners in their dining room must think about the screaming coming just feet away through the open door and window.
Some of my favorite episodes are the ones that slow down and focus on one character like Marcus in Copenhagen or Tina in her job search.
