O Urso

I have never watched Shameless so I'm discovering Jeremy Allen White. I am in awe. I haven't seen that true vibe since early Dustin Hoffman (Kramer vs Kramer). The show is so raw and believable that you feel like a voyeur looking in a neighborhood restaurant and its staff. Just a slice of real life, delivered by a wonderful ensemble. I was late to the party but I'm happy I finally joined in. It's a gem, a breath of fresh air in this era of big budget series or predictable cop shows. And the chaotic environment is spot on. Having friends in the restaurant business, the chaos is real.

Long live the Bear !

I am really enjoying this show. I've made it through six episodes and the character development is great. I am already rooting for so many of the characters. It's turning into a real feel-good show. The casting and acting are great. I love the writing and the setting/cinematography are as realistic as it can get. With so many choices out there I find it oddly difficult to find shows that I truly enjoy. But this is one of them.

I've worked in a family owned restaurant in Chicago for decades. The intensity among family members and the dialog between workers is extremely realistic. All the characters in this series have depth which makes it believable. This show has no "caricatures" or "cartoon-like" people for comic relief. Excellent show!

Get out of the kitchen. This show is so spot on about how real kitchens function. Having worked in several high end and lower end restaurants. I can tell you this is the real deal. For all those low star reviewers, you just don't get it. This is not a glitzy Hollywood romanticized fantasy. Great acting, accurate terminology and technique. Absolutely love it! Hope there will be more.

If you like watching people stressing out, arguing, fast camera...all in the name of food, then have at it. I'd rather watch something entertaining that won't have me reaching for the blood pressure pills.
