***SPOILER***
This was a great idea. I looked forward to seeing David S in a good dramatic role.
The first few episodes were tough because it was pretty formula stuff with nothing new to offer aside from the premise. The organized crime and drugs is unnecessary and leaves little room for an interesting new drama around the struggle to open a restaurant in an unlikely neighborhood.
It's so unrelentingly tragic and sad that it is very hard to watch. But I hoped that once the restaurant opened we'd be given a break and some lighter, happier moments. Except I can't get that far. Here's where you lost me completely - the sex between Dion and Pilar. He has been a complete ass to her, treated her with no respect. She calls him on his FRAUD and he tries to kiss her? When she slapped him hard I was glad to show that a woman can handle sexual harassment in the workplace in her own, albeit violent, way. Then she has sex with him? Forget it.
I'd love for you to find a way to fix this. It will start with a new writing staff. Sorry, but it's just too unbearably dreary and unoriginal to love.
