We are constantly looking for long series to watch and have come to the end of most of our lists. We have also generally avoided subtitled shows because of the necessity to stay glued to the screen to avoid missing important lines. But, after just a single episode of "The Restaurant" we were hooked on these characters and their family saga. The comparisons to "Downton Abbey" are a little forced but it is always interesting to see a drama that examines class and racial disparities. To see one set in Sweden is a rare opportunity. I highly recommend this show.
