Wordiezett So much average
FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
zekeblack Ummmm. A little fluff. Binged the whole thing today. Still didn't feel "full" Tess, main character, walks in a dream sequence the whole way through. From her IMDb, it says: big eyes. Yeah, and loves the close ups-- I think intended to make her attractive. My problem is the cross between the hayseed who bites her nails to blood, and immediately takes any drug she is offered without knowing what it is-- yeah. We're supposed to believe she's 22, and never met a human being, or learned anything. Fresh to the Big City. Just comes off as not too bright. I understand the book is so much better.. maybe more satisfying?
laughtonkc The first episode is slow but the second episode is much better. Still waiting for the show to pick up a little more but shows a lot of promise especially if they stick with some of the storylines from the book.
connolley325 Spoilers BelowSo 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!
psxexperten Another B movie from Plan B Entertainment. You are welcome to bore yourself to death. Watching paint dry is quicker & more interesting. I only watched this based off the ranking (6.9), but I am disappointed in the IMDb community who give high ranking on this stinker.
