Review

Usually film and TV show people working in a restaurant it's shown very unrealistic. I just quit my restaurant job and then I started watching this show and it was relatable. This episode though, was scarily accurate to why I quit. There was a point where I had to pause it and cry for a while. Great Episode.

One of the best episodes of anything I've ever seen. 30 minutes felt like 5 minutes. Everything was impeccable from the acting to the cinematography. Never have I seen something so intense and real on television.

I knew when the episode started with Sufjan Stevens's "Chicago" it was going to be a special episode. The placid nature of the song while also being about getting out and trying new, scary things fits perfectly as a lead-in to the chaos afterwards. What a 180° shift occurs. Such a well-made episode in every regard.

This episode really blew me away! The credits started rolling and it felt very sudden, as if only a few minutes had passed since the episode started. But then I realized it was because there were no cuts or breaks in the entire episode! You are taken through and extremely busy and unforgiving day in the shop and seeing it through the perspective of the characters.

I cannot praise this episode enough. Very well written and shot. Much like real life, you realize what feels like a moment in time was actually 30 hectic minutes flying by. Bravo!

If you've worked in a kitchen, this is a brutal reenactment of the insanity, abuse, toxicity, danger, and impossible stress in a particularly overwhelming work day. Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
