Boiling Point

Absolutely love that they brought a series after the film! Anyone who works in hospitality knows how accurate this series is. Just binged all 4 episodes.

I particularly liked how it dived into the individual characters showing a bit about their backgrounds.

It might not be for everyone and that's ok, everyone is entitled to their own opinion but for me personally I've always wanted to see a series about the hospitality trade and Boiling Point ticks all the boxes.

Very similar every day situations to what it's really like. It's not just about cooking, waiting on tables or pouring pints! Long may it continue. Great job!

Gimme more!!

Utterly brilliant, wonderful, emotional and tense. There is room for more! The comparisons to The Bear whilst sort of fair are unnecessary.

The way it's filmed is similar which makes you feel like you're in the kitchen. I would like to state that Boiling Point came first followed by The Bear.

The storylines and character arcs in these four episodes just scratch the surface of potential for additional series. I really hope we get a series 2.

Beautifully acted by all, actually made me miss being in the hospo world.

Hard hitting, at times difficult to watch but breathtaking. Kudos to all involved.

Boiling Point has history, having started as a short film which became a Netflix feature and has now become a four part TV series. There's no need to view either before coming to this (which is very much the best version) but you might want to look them up afterwards as the cast & crew are largely the same across all three.

Like many viewers I've worked in this environment albeit many years ago and I can attest to its accuracy in perfectly portraying the tensions of a busy kitchen and the conflicts that occasionally erupt spectacularly. I could literally feel my blood pressure rising just watching it.

There's a great cast across the board, its well-directed, beautifully written by James Cummings and has a fab score - its one of those productions where everyone involved is on top form and it all comes together seemlessly - I can't recommend it highly enough.

Congrats to all involved in making this one, hope there'll be more.

This was a welcome relief to my fruitless search for decent drama on Netflix. So thanks to the BBC for serving up a tasty dish. Fast moving, and sometimes difficult to watch much of the time, thanks to the predictability of the story lines. I don't agree with those who have given a low rating based on the predictable story lines. That doesn't stop it being a strong drama.

Similarly I don't have a huge problem with the fact that all the main characters have their own demons. This is fiction and a drama so we can't expect them to be boringly perfect.

I hope there is a new series and I hope the budge extends to more episodes.

This had me gripped from the very first scene. Fast moving, sometimes at a manic pace, this was partly shot on a hand held camera which gave a feel of the insane pace this drama moved along at.

There were some outstanding performances from a stellar cast, with the star of them all, Stephen Graham, making brief appearances as he is slowly introduced into the series after his dramatic exit in the prequel movie, which this series is based on.

I found no fault in this production. It is a masterpiece of film making and acting at its best. The good thing is there are more episodes to follow and I look forward to watching them all.
