Sweetbitter (2018–2019)
9/10
This was surprisingly underrated
9 October 2023
It's hard to believe 2006 NYC is that far in the past, but this was a very good depiction of that time and the higher end food service industry. It even looks like they filled some kitchen scenes in the basement of someplace like Union Square Cafe, which is highly specialized.

The music was on point. Smoking was still a thing. Drugs are show almost LESS intense than they are even today. Sex is pretty accurately portrayed as less crazy as people imagine.

The characters are pretty accurate for the time. Honestly, it was very entertaining and felt like a small time capsule. Great acting, set design, costumes, etc.
