For some reason they have made each character a mental case or a substance abuser so it resembles not a posh, high-end restaurant but rather a kitchen in a psychiatric ward. I guess that's modern drama for you. The team of cooks which usually works like a well-oiled clock mechanism in such restaurants just wouldn't survive a day with such crazy company. Original film was so much better and not only for its technical bravery. Stephen Graham is barely present here and his substitutes just don't have his charisma and depth so it's hard to pay attention to their trivial problems at work and especially in their private lives.
