Bartending is serious business.
I never watched the original, but this one was for the most part okay. Various people come to a posh bar with problems and the chill bartender helps them make decisions. Most of the stories were fairly interesting but also none of them were great.
However, the main story was decidedly dull, focusing on a hotel trying to hire this bartender in what has to be the most pain in the ass recruitment attempt ever made.
I thought I would hate this but found it decent.
