This is episode is *probably* why the show got so famous.
Let me break it down for you.
By this seventh episode, we know our characters, we know their backgrounds, their motivations, their frustrations. We also know their relationships and dynamics in the restaurant really well by now.
By this episode, we see the kitchen coming into its own, everyone has a place and knows their role, and it seems Finally, there is calm coming to The Beef. It almost feels like there should be a lull to the rest of the series now, but no. Absolutely not. This is by far, the BEST episode of the series.
Infact, this episode explodes. Like literally explodes onto your screens. When the episode started, I noticed it was only 20 minutes long and also realised for whatever reason, the show creators decided this was the episode to include an opening credits segments in. Didnt feel very wise. Feels we were being robbed of precious screentime. But after 20 minutes, you realise why they did this.
It is because the show HITS in this episode.
Apart from the opening sequence, the episode is shot in one single take. Which I am ashamed to say I didnt even realise until it was pointed out to me by some one else, because I was that engrossed in the drama unfolding on the screen.
When the episode concludes, and you see the title card for the first time at the end, it is nothing short of incredible.
Showrunners, you did well. Sorry that I doubted you. 5/5.
