"I'd rather be with an animal"

I am also jumping on to this show after hearing a lot of high praise and commotion. Went in pretty blind though. All I knew was it started Jeremy Allan White as a restaurant owner.

This episode alone is just some dang good television. I love the fast pace. Picture all of those cooking shows, how frantic people get about getting their dishes made in time. This felt like that but with even higher stakes, seeing as there's always something going on in this kitchen WHILE everyone is cooking.

I think the writers left just enough interesting interactions and dialogue amongst the characters to keep my attention as well. I'm genuinely curious about Carmy and Richie and everyone working there.

The cast all delivers so far. White is excellent, but I was also impressed with Ebon, someone I've always liked and am happy to finally see in a prominent role for once.

It's also just exceptionally directed, with some great editing and cinematography.

Very excited for what's to come.
