robbiex	After watching all 4 episodes I have to say that I really enjoyed it. It gives a good insight into working in a restaurant kitchen, and I was interested in the characters and the stories behind them. There were lots of issues raised, like living with chrons, living with elderley parents, and alcoholism. There are some things that I don't think worked. The idea of a northern-themed restaurant in London, why not just set the series in Liverpool. Northern food, or any kind of British food is not the stuff of fine dining. Scouse, Lancashire hot pot, black pudding, they're all good, but not fine dining food.
robbiex	I quite enjoyed the show so far after 1 episode, although I did find the camera darting around, slightly disorienting. I'm not a fan of the one-take business, and it doesn't look like the series has continued this theme. I feel it is the same as improvised comedy, trying to make it difficult for themselves, just to be clever rather than making the best product they can. Some of the plot is flawed, how the hell do the new chef pass his interview?

Only professionals care about tricks like that; they do not matter to us viewers. We just want a good script and plot; believable characters. That and the characters being wholly one dimensional, with no obvious motivations or desires beyond not screwing up the running of a restaurant. Character and motivations were hinted at; but never developed in the film. Yawn fest.

All in one takes is nothing new it goes back to the poverty row B-movies. William Beaudine did it all the time. I have spent many hours watching Bowery Boys.
