overall I like the show, but there are so many small details about it that bother the hell out of me, its hard to explain

just stupid background shyt like the whole party is literally passed out sleeping cause of some xanny? or how corny that 'mob' fight was outside the restaurant. and why does it feel like they never have customers? also i thought this was a beef spot, why they always cooking these full plates lol? also did they say they dont do take out? a beef & hot dog spot doesnt do take out? what?
I mean if u wanna really nit pick, then let's discuss how they try to portray river north as a gritty blue collar neighborhood when that beef place is surrounded by upscale shops and million dollar townhouses. However the real beef store it's based on is there and looks that way.

But I can overlook that shyt in the name of entertainment. Still loved the show.

that didn’t really bother me, that just happened to be where they filmed the show at, if you weren’t from the city you’d have no idea really.

it was the stupid, not based in reality shyt like EVERYONE falling asleep cause of the punch, and that whole situation blowing over? like kids just got drugged? pulling the gun on some gamer kids outside the shop and firing a shot? why did they get a bullet thru their window again? cousin just got casually stabbed, no big deal. the fact that its a beef & hot dog joint and they never seem to be cooking those up? or have customers? or thats its a beef/dog place that doesnt do take out? they had like 5 customers the whole season, how that place still standing? the CORNY ass mob fight outside the place? CMON with how cheesy that shyt was. and what even came of it?

I dont know - has the quality of premiere TV fallen off this hard? I liked the show, and its well acted, but every episode would have these stupid, easy to fix holes that just irritated me. They never even showed how they got thru the fukk up of the online orders coming through in droves? Also why is a beef joint getting like 500 orders off online orders at like 10am. All the restaurant scenes were them just stressed out doing prep before the place opened. Its just odd. They could have tightened so much of this up.

Im generally surprised that everyone LOVES this show. Its cool, but am I going crazy here laughing at the not based in reality shyt going on, from a show that is supposed to be strictly tied to reality and not suspend disbelief?

Why does it open at 3:00pm? Is that a Chicago thing? I don't understand.

I kind of liked the show, but I agree. The writing is spotty and a lot of situations were pointless. The thing about the kids getting drugged that bothered me the most is that it had 0 effect on the story line. I thought they were going to set him up as being an addict and the thing with the kids being looked at like a low point, but they just treated it like no big deal and moved on from it to the next situation. Richie popping xanax was never a factor again after that. Weird thing to just randomly throw in.
