Sweetbitter - Season 1
It seems that no sweetness without bitterness. A journey completely determined the destiny of a woman. It's a massage from a woman came to New York without any friend or brother. As a usual, she works in a prestigious restaurant, where she serves a group of high-end of consumers, and an industry dive bar. She came here without ambition, just only wanted to success because she wanted more in the life. It's no enough to make friends or relations.

Rather than overstay its welcome, it remains fun and breezy.
May 01, 2018
Achingly honest portrayal of what it's like to be a young woman desperate for something - only the specifics of that "something" escape you.

[Ella] Purnell plays Tess with a doe-eyed earnestness that is truly endearing.

Sweetbitter has some sensory pleasures, a good cast and better wine (or so we're told). Otherwise occasionally pretentious and ultimately superficial.
