Wordiezett So much average

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

zekeblack Ummmm. A little fluff. Binged the whole thing today. Still didn't feel "full" Tess, main character, walks in a dream sequence the whole way through. From her IMDb, it says: big eyes. Yeah, and loves the close ups-- I think intended to make her attractive. My problem is the cross between the hayseed who bites her nails to blood, and immediately takes any drug she is offered without knowing what it is-- yeah. We're supposed to believe she's 22, and never met a human being, or learned anything. Fresh to the Big City. Just comes off as not too bright. I understand the book is so much better.. maybe more satisfying?

zenvision2012 22 yr old from Dayton, Ohio with coffe shop experience lands a job in NYC high end restaurant and is working the floor as a server within a week or two. Right. In reality she probably couldn't get past dishwasher. Line from a server in posh restaurant to a table of wealthy couples, "Hope you guys enjoy your food" WHAAAT? It's beyond ludicrous. So much time for behind the scene drama in a busy establishment at dinner hour, RU kidding me. Nothing believable in any episode. Not bad acting.

Denovot I decided to give this a shot after seeing constant ads, also being a New Yorker with some experience in fine dining I was interested enough. Unfortunately there were so many glaring issues with this adaptation. The most frustrating part is there are glimmers of what could've been a great show throughout, opportunities squandered at every turn. One of the main issues is our star, Tess. It's hard to distinguish if it's mainly the fault of the writer, director or actor, but all three do their fair share to poison the pot. I get they are going for doe-eyed naivety but come on, give the audience a little credit, or the character some dimension. Everything, I mean everything she looks at she's gawking as if she has just discovered there are other humans on this planet- get's old real quick. Not to mention it's just not believable. NO ONE with her behavior (won't even discuss lack of experience) would last a day in that industry. However, I'm more than willing to suspend belief for plot but this show doesn't deliver the goods. The show does not give you any reason to root for her success except that she is the obvious protagonist and well, I guess you just should. She isn't particularly hard working or respectful, she walks around in a self absorbed bubble the entire season. For a coming of age there is little, if any personal growth exhibited on her end. All of the secondary characters are painfully one note. The season would have been more interesting had they paid more attention to some of them or even made it an ensemble show, as following wide eyed Tess around all day gets tiring. Then there's oh-so-troubled-Jake and I'm-so-illusive Simone. They both seem to have these massive fronts to feign the audience into intrigue, but I'm guessing not much is behind either door. There was no resolution into the season long tension within the 3 or insight into their motivations. The writers either didn't have answers or are holding out hope for a second season, either way not much happens in the first season besides the answer to if Tess will become a permanent hire. Luckily it's a short watch and they didn't milk this plot for a longer run time. I may even give it a chance if it gets renewed, hoping they juice up the writing, flesh out the ensemble and someone slaps that look off of Tess's face.

fami-37664 I like it I saw episode 5 and love it but it is confusing but I like it at first I thought I would hate it but no, I like drama romance show and confusing make you think what is the story behind any character what the story behind Howard , Jake and Samon the cape house!!
