I just started watching this.
It makes me super nostalgic because my parents owned a fast food joint in Chicago. No fancy food like in the show, just stuff like Italian beef, Polish, Chicago dogs, and some Asian stuff on the special menu because well we're Asian.
The other difference is my parents' place was in one of the roughest neighborhoods in Chicago. We were all behind bulletproof glass and we delivered food with a bulletproof carousel.
Love the show. The acting, color grading and composition are some of the best on TV.
Just finished episode S1.7 last night. The whole episode being in one take was impressive, but I think it detracted from the experience. It felt like the creators wanted to flex and show that they could do it, but it was really distracting with the camera constantly swinging from one character to another, pushing in and pulling back. You lose the narrative aspect that editing cuts bring. It's like watching an awesome guitar player play a solo with his teeth. Impressive, but the solo would be better played normally.
