Yes, it's NOT a comedy BIG DEAL! So tired of people who think "oh that guy was in a comedy so this MUST be funny" grow up! This is sometimes amusing sometimes sad but the cast and characters are VERY intriguing and multi layered.
If you have EVER worked in the food industry or had a family full of problems this is a great look at how life just goes on and you do what you must to get on with it.
It shows the high stress of the food world and the addiction to the rush that comes with it. It looks at addiction and suicide and how it effects those you love. It shows how family always comes first. It shows how important tradition is. The cast is very realistic and the acting is brilliant. If you're looking for a comedy about a restaurant go watch "waiting", if you're looking to watch a realistic multifaceted show that should have been an hour long and BETTER return for a second season, then this is for you.
Upstate: it did come back and just finished season two, was just as good as season one! I have one tiny complaint though, a walk-in cooler is NOT like a vault. They all have emergency release handles inside AND if that didn't work, they are thin aluminum sheets over STYROFOAM... not solid steel and u can kick down a wall if need be.
Other than that insult to the viewer season two was GREAT! They better watch out for anymore bs like that, else lose viewers but overall can't wait for season 3!
