Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a short run with a modest audience and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel or Emily in Paris, start here.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
6 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 25 minutes each).
What might put you off
It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Maksim "Max" Lavrov wants to become a great chef. But he finds out that the kitchen isn't the place for an easy career. And at restaurant "Claude Monet," this job looks to be harder and much more complicated than just cooking.
