TV Series. Drama TV Series (2018-2020). 2 Seasons. 14 Episodes. Like the novel of the same name from which it is adapted, “Sweetbitter” tells the story of Tess (Ella Purnell), a 22-year-old who arrives in New York City ready to pursue a new life and is “quickly intoxicated” by the chaotic, high-adrenaline environment behind-the-scenes of the restaurant world.

	Author	Review
United States	Pilot Viruet Variety	"There are a lot of promising things to be found in “Sweetbitter.” (...) 30-minute episodes is a welcome antidote to the number of television dramas with bloated episode runtimes. (...) fun and breezy."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Much more engaging and less tonally punishing than 'Feed the Beast', but in no way as lively and clever as 'Kitchen Confidential'"	NEU
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"Even a three-hour show should have more meat on the bone than this (...) Ms. Danler is stingy with the spice"	NEG
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"It works well enough, once you get beyond the somewhat cliche-heavy first episode (...) The character of Tess becomes interesting"	POS
United States	Robert Rorke New York Post	"The series stumbles (...) in forcing a romantic storyline between Tess and Jake (...) Pop in for a drink at the bar, but you’ll have to book a table elsewhere for fine dining (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"It’s shallow to the point of being narcissistic, and that’s not the kind of series anyone needs."	NEG
United States	Dorothy Rabinowitz The Wall Street Journal	"Delectable drama (...) 'Sweetbitter' is remarkably rich in distinctively drawn characters"	POS
