I'd heard so much about this show, I had to check it out while I still have Hulu. My inherent interest in a restaurant in Chicago is pretty much zero. The characters are well acted but aren't really grabbing me right now, maybe they'll grow on me.
But I'm still sold on the show after this first episode, why? It's a total kinetic rush like I've rarely seen before. Usually you find this in fast-paced action series like 24.
Also the kitchen jargon gives it the feel of The West Wing or The Wire, where you are tossed into an unfamiliar culture and expected to just catch up by paying attention.
Overall a very promising start!
