Yeah. She’s one of the best characters as well. She plays the “for fucks sake guys!” role so well. Grade A actor.

And yes, she is a fine looking lady.

Oh yes and she's a *MAGMA* fan as well-ain't that something?

Anyway, CRAP! In spite of Ayo and those awesome kitchen stress shots and shit, I find it awfully difficult to engage with this series mainly because I have little to no use for the stories eelated to the Main character; it's like they focus on the wrong things. I'm halfway through Season 3 and I already feel like I did om the precious two: I practically have to force myself to finish through because I get so bored but then you get a scene/episode or two that's just awesome, practically *tricking* you into continued watching; call me old-fashioned but that's not my idea of good TV...

I’m slowly getting through season 3…. Meh. The Tina episode nearly killed it for me. I love that character but really didn’t need a deep dive into her life, or at least that deep dive. Let’s see how thing go after Sugar’s baby arrives.

Not hating it, it just every episode feels like filler. The 30 min run time is good. An hour of this would kill it.

Started watching the show today. It is good enough to keep me engaged. Love the various pictures through Chi town. Really digging the soundtracks. Even the shitty shows today have good soundtracks.

I am giving it NC for now, I have no idea about the pancakes thing yet as it's really a slow evolving half an hour drama com.

Loved the Jon Bernthal and Joel McHale appearances. Jon is such a talented actor, loved him in pretty much anything he has been a part of.

WHAT A GREAT FUCKING SHOW!

Everything about this show gives me the flashbacks to my family.

I can't wrap my head around the Crap votes...

First season is gold. Second, silver I guess. Third, what I’ve watched thus far, seems bronze by comparison.

Yeah. I got halfway went on holiday and haven’t really felt the need to finish. I will but it definitely hasn’t got the same driving pace of season one. Season two, I actually can’t remember what happened.

The first season of this gets away with its shortcomings through pace alone. It's like going to see Tim Vine in that regard. Once it starts to slow down even slightly, it's just another dull show.

all of my friends who actually worked in hospitality hated it, while I found some aspects decent(writing/acting) I overall agree it missed the mark

Season 3 ender was crapola. A few good episodes and a more abstract, less trying-too-hard vibe than Season 2. Although the goof brothers really do bring it the fuck down, especially when that WWE guy enters the picture. Still, the final few episodes (excluding the one focused on Sugar, that was decent) would have sucked even w/o them.

I suppose I'll see what happens w/this show, but really, it would have been a tidy little triumph had it aired for one season and then game over.

I do think it sucks that nothing yet has focused on the beverage program, like there's no mention of it that I recall. Maybe that's season 4.
