Within the context of how well both series were written and performed I wouldn’t call it a gimmick. It’s obviously going somehwere. But I can see how it didn’t land for you.
I haven’t seen anyone else take issue with online though tbh. And there’s nothing people like more than descending on something like that.

I was loving the first part when they were going back and forth from the front of house to the kitchen, showing the inner workings of the restaurant. “Animal” was awesome. But the immediate shift in tone after that to syrupy, heartstring drama was too much and didn’t work for me.
Finished S02 last night. S01 ended fairly similarly though with a nice TV bow wrapping up the season.
Overall I am enjoying it, some fantastic performances and soundtrack with just enough television elements. It is just that though a TV show and not a documentary after all.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
