ehhhh i disagree. in almost every season 1 fight between richie and anyone, he is fully and clearly in the wrong. he was right to call out carmy there and carmy reacted the way carmy always does
Reading more about Will Guidara, who was the co-owner and FOH manager for multiple Michelin star restaurants in New York, and wrote the book that Richie is reading in episode 7. He teaches a lot about the transformational power of service and hospitality. Episode 7 seems to be heavily inspired by that guy.
Damn this show is so good. The way Claire is photographed is kinda funny though and it's tiptoeing in MPDG territory.
I for one would've been happier with a weekly release for this. I felt like I needed at least a week to recover after watching ep 6.
I agree for the most part except that it wasn't really the time because obviously Carmy is going to be sensitive about just missing the opening of his restaurant because he didn't get the fridge fixed so maybe not the time to try to admonish someone for a mistake that they're probably well aware they made but yes - complete overreaction as is typical of Carmy. I think the main take away from this season was that the whole family is rife with mental health issues and generational trauma that they're not addressing Luckily with a drop all at once, you get to decide if you need a break or not. I get not being able to discuss it though. I didn't jump in here until it was done, as basically 10 hours from release, you had to assume at least 1 person was done and spoiling it. I think the pacing after 6 was fantastic though and 7 and 8 were such nice episodes after that one.
I don't think I even liked episode 6. I acknowledge it was good, but I did not enjoy watching any of that. And I will probably skip it on every rewatch
Episode 6 let up on the gas just enough when it needed to, but my anxiety was through the roof, especially when JLC was on the screen. Thank God my mother is not like that, but I've met a few that are.
i spent the entirety of the rest of the episode thinking we were going to hear an off-screen gunshot after she talked about going upstairs to get the gun.
It's refreshing to have a show where the conflict isn't based in melodrama, it's not about who's sleeping with who, who's cheating on who, who's going to stab who in the back or fuck someone over. It's real people reacting to real situations in mostly real ways. I feel like I've met people in real life that are like these characters and I understand why they react the way they do in the situations they're put in, even if some of the characters themselves are overly dramatic.
In the first episode of season 1 it’s established he’s has a lot of expensive clothes (mostly denim, he has to sell some jackets for beef)
