This is a really well written and acted comedy-drama series. It's about working at an upscale restaurant in NYC in the early 2000's. It's a fun series to binge watch. I love finding TV series where the cast of characters feel like people you would want as friends and/or coworkers. This is one of those. It's too bad that it only lasted two short seasons, because I would have liked more time with this cast. I originally watched it for Ella Purnell (I enjoy everything she's done so far as an actor), but everyone in the cast is great in this. I already miss it, and wish they would have had more seasons. It ends on a cliffhanger. Highly recommended.
