I would give this series a much higher rating if the characters weren't so unlikeable. Both female leads were unlikeable, saldana's daughter was unlikeable. The guy who asked her a favor was unlikeable. The senators were unlikeable. Both guys who tried to SA the unlikeable asset were unlikeable. The husband to be was unlikeable. Honestly the only likeable person there was the target and his daughter. The plot was so thin they had to make some weird issue about the daughter as time-filler. Come on, this is lame. The kid still had a good dad. Her kid's ahole personality isn't because she's always away. That's prolly inborn.

I get the premise but i don't understand why they dressed and styled emma thompson like ellen degeneres from head to toe - when she's not even playing a lesbian. The way she acted was very ellen as well so i don't know if this was some kind of secret parody or what, but it's confusing when you're acting and dressing like a very famous lesbian comedian whilst playing a role of a married woman who's having affairs. Also Jane Lynch would have been more natural in this role.

Secondly, i know mindy kaling produced this, but her acting was the worst. It was a very weird character... or maybe she just played herself - who knows, but there was definitely a lot of awkward overacting. I think it would have been a better movie if they did a straight up parody of ellen. Dark comedy would have been a better fit to this kind of story instead of forcing it to be some cozy feel good hallmark movie. Cringe.

I've seen 1.5 eps and this is a bit unbelievable. Too much overacting from the lead actor and it's impossible that a head chef de cuisine from noma would run a sandwich shop this way. If he got that far up, he would know that you can't run a sandwich shop full of black amateurs the same way as any michelin star kitchen because the skill level of the staff is completely different. Also you have to roll out the changes slowly, unless you fire everyone, start over and train a whole new staff which means downtime and a soft reopening when you're ready.

The way he did this kind of hostile takeover/makeover... only a tryhard amateur would do it that way. It's bizarre. Also, why are there so many people in the kitchen? For that kind of place 2-3 people in the kitchen is enough, it's just sandwiches and spaghetti and ice cream... wtf. He has one guy whose sole job is make the bread? Is this for real? How much is he selling those sandwiches for that justifies a bread man? I'm sure they can buy premade really good quality bread easily, and that would save them time and money from that bread man's salary + ingredients (the flour and the shipping) + fixing that ancient mixer that broke down. I don't get it. You can always make bread inhouse later when things are running smoothly.

You don't really make bread inhouse unless your version is way better than ready made ones which from what i saw was far from good.

You don't get that far up the kitchen hierarchy unless you know how to run all parts of it. Being good at cooking isn't enough, he should know how to keep within budgets as well. Why does that intern have to tell him how to save money and keep costs down - and why is he ignoring her???

And most importantly, WHY ARE ALL THE ACTORS SO UGLY????? This show is so hard to watch!
