6/10
Well written but doesn't really go anywhere

The wife and I enjoyed it. It had good character development and rang true to life for anyone who has worked retail. Hollyweird had to throw in about 20% of the characters were jazz hands because it's artsy? Overall a fun ride. After two seasons we are tired of the drama and the lack of direction. Story about a small-town girl from Ohio who moves to the big city alone (gasp) and gets a job at a posh restaurant with all the internal drama from that family of people. She tries drugs and alcohol and spas and men .. kind of floating along. We are amazed at the number of scenes of her walking alone, late at night, through slums and the heart of NYC .. sometimes just barely dressed, never mugged or raped or even approached. Really? Have you been to the rotten apple? Fifth highest crime rate in the USA for huge cities. Seems like what someone who has never been to NYC thinks it is like -- from 1960 movies. I think the show has played itself out. We probably won't stick around for season three.
