Television Boiling Point

[SalfordRed18]

Newish 4 part series on iPlayer, was released beginning of October.

A continuation of the film, I'm 2 episodes in and it's the most accurate representation of the service industry I've ever seen.

Anyone seen the film or the series?

The single shot film is great. The series doesn’t work as well. Doesn’t help that every character is a complete lunatic, but it’s still pretty good.

Most service workers tend to be in all honesty, especially in the kitchen.

I thought the film was incredible. A movie that was really enhanced by the single take, as opposed to being a gimmick.

I didn't think the series worked that well though. Mostly because I'm really not that interested in the lives of the characters outside of the kitchen environment. It had its moments, but overall I just thought it wasn't needed.

I didn't mind the series at all, really good, but definitely felt it hurt the ending of the not-so open ending of the vastly superior film....

Spoiler

the hint is that he totally died

Feel like I get what I need from this genre from The Bear.

Did enjoy the film though.

I like the bear a lot, but I feel this is more realistic and focuses more the service side and everything that goes with it.
