SoberChef Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Also, I am a HUGE Matty Matheson fan, so between him & the lead alongside the premise of kitchen life & being in Chicago, I am all about this show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 Also, ALL episodes will be on Hulu immediately so have fun binging ya'll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 All 8 episodes are available now. I've gotten through the first 3, more than likely will end up watching all of what is looking to be a fantastic show, before the night is through. The pace is frenetic & chaotic & by doing so, really harnesses & hones the vibe of a TRUE kitchen. A lot of questions abound but they're there in the periphery, waiting to be plucked one at a time to be shone more light to the viewer & I appreciate that. Alright, back to the show!

SoberChef Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 Just finished the season and holy fucking wow what a hell of a show! Really hope that another season is greenlit (maybe even with a larger release having it come to FX directly?) Such an amazing cast & what a hell of a turn at the end. So very excited to see where this story goes next for sure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 This show is great! I just watched episode 7. Spoiler Maybe the single most intense episode of TV I've seen in years. Not a second of down time. And a lot of shows take advantage of the streaming format by having longer episodes, so this one being 10 minutes shorter than normal really caught me off guard. Brutally effective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted June 28, 2022 Author Share Posted June 28, 2022 Oh yeah, between berating the patisserie & throwing his work on the ground, to your sous saying "Fuck this I'm out", all while your brand new POS system wasn't set up right only in turn to totally fuck you in the ass. The PTSD induction is a very real thing for those of us who've been there in our careers, it's legit NO JOKE! Yet, it's because of those moments that the team/brigade comes together & really pushes through to get through it & you come out the other side changed, more appreciative of those who were in the trenches with you, all of that. I would honestly say, allegorically that is, which when working in a kitchen, its as close to combat as one can be without actually BEING in combat (at least in my humble opinion.) The music does absolutely rock in this show no doubt and the secret inclusion of a well accomplished actor (at least, again, in my opinion) w/ regards to the leads' older brother, just awesome to see him in literally anything! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Just started watching this last night, and I feel like this was the best pilot that I've seen in a long time. It really sells the concept and sets up the initial stakes in an impressive way. I really appreciate shows that you don't need to give a few hours to in order to figure out if they're any good.

best3444 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Jeremy Allen White was a very good actor in Shameless. I have a 30 day pass with Hulu so I think I will check this out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don’t want to scare you off it completely, but when you watch it you might want to be prepared. The main character is dealing with Spoiler the recent loss of his brother and that is a major part of the entire season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely something that I probably shouldn't watch now but overall themes like this really don't bother me. But you're correct that with my current mental state, it's probably a good idea to ignore it for now. I will definitely check it out because it interests me after doing some research and you guy's really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 Didn't know you were dealing with such personal issues @best3444, so very sorry to hear that. While Leon is absolutely in the right to forewarn you, personally speaking, there have been times when shows or films have really been cathartic for me to grieve & process trauma & loss, so hopefully there's a chance that this show may help you in that way as well. Whenever you do end up visiting it in its entirety, the thread will be here as will we all, eager to hear your thoughts & sentiments on it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually long takes like that are really obvious and flashy, but here it felt so natural. One of the best things I've seen in a long time.

Greatoneshere Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 My wife and I finally binged all 8 episodes of this show this weekend - and it met my high expectations - I thoroughly enjoyed it! I'm a big chef/food fictional TV show/movie guy, so movies like Chef and Burnt and shows like The Bear I find immediately compelling. But this was well done on every level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 This show easily goes in my top 20, period. It just hits the ground feeling right and builds from there. Fucking amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazatron Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Finally getting around to this, show has been great but episode 7, holy hell that gave me anxiety… Similar style to the movie Boiling Point, which is also great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
