The acting is amazing. The writing and directing is disturbing and chaotic. The constant anger and bickering, the deep dark psychotic theme, the obvious pain of the driver of this series, is unbelievably heavy. The horror and combativeness which lasts for every second of every episode, is too much to "bear" for more than 10 minutes. It's like a dark shade is being draped over every episode and no sunshine is allowed to appear. The creative energy of this series obviously hates the restaurant business and has horrible unhealed wounds from his/her childhood. The series is a disservice to the wonderful cast. Every actor is solid in their role. If you want to hold on to any optimism in your life avoid this show because the shear amount of constant negativity will nuke every positive thought you have and sour your day.
