I’m watching it all over again. I’m a fan of Jeremy Allen. Watched shameless. Controlled chaos. Sort of reminds me of myself. How shit never works perfectly. I just keep driving the boat up river.

Cross post from the “Fiction with food on the side” thread:
That link is a security risk. What’s the name of the site?
Sorry, it’s this site with the full URL below:
It’s a little tricky to find the script (especially over the long term) but for the moment it’s on the first page at the URL if you scroll down to “Latest updates”
Thanks! I visit Daily Script and Drew’s Script-o-Rama, but this one is new to me.
I hope you enjoy it! It’s a fantastic database of actual TV scripts new and old that I’ve been going to for almost 10 years now. It doesn’t have every single script out there but it does include some real gems.

Just finished watching the 5th episode. I don’t find any of the characters to be particularly compelling, save for Sidney. Richie is a PITA to watch, and I don’t care about Carmy >shrug<
The kitchen scenes and the food are what keeps me watching, but the “plot” is thinner than bad gazpacho.

Season 2 dropped this morning on Hulu for anyone interested in continuing with the show. I’m about to dive in right now, and will be back with my thoughts later on. Happy watching, everyone!

Thanks for the reminder! We were running out of shows (but now there’s gonna be a glut).
Right? So many new seasons dropping today.
Hope the second season is better. I found Jeri almost unbearably annoying.
Really? They’re all kind of annoying in various ways, but no one bothered me overmuch.
Am I the only one here who hated it?
Gave it a try, stopped, got convinced to try again, watched two more episodes, just cant.

Reading some of the comments, I guess I’m in @linguafood camp. I would add not much character development. Acting is optional. And the food scenes dont really save it or do it for me.

Yeah, I never understood the massive hype the show got. So it’s a fairly realistic depiction of food staff & BOH workings. Eh. Maybe I just know too many peeps in food service to find this a revelation of sorts.
I’m far more excited about the Righteous Gemstones, TBH 
Already watched the first 2 new episodes.
I’m saving a few to binge on.
as someone who was in the camp of it being one of the best pieces of television last year, i’m personally looking forward to it. i’m encouraged by the reviews i’ve been reading:
’ it does exactly what a sequel should do. It takes everything that made it distinctively alluring — not just the insane level of kinetic energy on display, but the wit of the writing, the off-kilter shifts in dramatic focus, and the contributions of a practically flawless ensemble cast — and makes it bigger and even more probing’ - Chronicle
‘it’s perfect’ - L.A. Times
‘stunning’ - EW
‘goes bigger, and gets better’ - Vulture
etc., etc.
i’ll watch two episodes tonight, but stop there. i’d rather spread it out.
