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.

He’s also quite prominent in the first season of The Punisher.
And the Punisher is, of course, Mike.

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.
Curious where S03 goes.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I actually agree with Trag. Also, apparently, he does "pap walks". I wish I didn't know what a "pap walk" is, but alas.

It's when the celebrity and/or team co-ordinates with the paparazzi to be photographed while having it appear unplanned. A marketing tool, for tools.
