Drama is the best that can inspire the spirit of work and determination when you follow the journey of the struggle Mrs. Tess along the path of the train circa 2006. It's the journey which takes you to the world of the struggle and perseverance. She serves some high-end clients in a restaurant in the city, and an industry dive bar. So, she wanted to send a love letter to the world underneath the champagne to change New York and maybe change you.
Sweetbitter does a good job of illustrating how challenging it is to toggle between those two environments all night, every night, while trying to maintain sanity. Where it struggles is in its character development.
