I didn't hate last season, like a lot of people here seemed to, but this season is certainly sounding worse; making for zero motivation to start it up.
I agree that it doesn't look like they had any idea what to really do after season 1 where it didn't get soap opera-e, cliché, or have it look like they are stretching shit out because they want 10 seasons.
Best alternative I could think of is if they had made it into a show about going from nothing to eventually a three star Michelin restaurant, while following the original people as they try to increase their skill, even if that means that they are working at different restaurants. Like what I thought they were going to do when they showed Ritchie basically being an apprentice at a high end restaurant in season 2.
