thecure-1 Review of The Restaurant

The Restaurant (2017– )

Overall a good series with some good threads but sometimes VERY predictable

[4/10 · 7 December 2020]

The series has a good spirit and delivers a good message... but to get there they fall into many very predictable story lines and characters that tend to be cartoonish: the good ones are naive and fall into traps, the bad ones are evil for no reason other than to be evil... For example, as soon as the sweet italian waitor gets a new car, one can guess that the bad guy will return to the show and destroy that car... OR predictable scenes... you know when one guy is about to commit suicide: he polishes his shoes right before, JUST like the witness in "A Few Good Men" Nina goes bankrupt because the bank does not follow procedures when a bad check is about to be withdrawn, yet the bank is not sued for this mistake Anytime 2 people get together, SEX *MUST* occur, no character can ever say: "this is not right" I did like the time passing (1950-1971) and the character story with the waitress who goes into politics
