The characters are all one-dimensional, the attempts at catharsis feel canned.

The problem with it is that it's incredibly unbalanced in the way that it doesn't ever know how to exactly deal with the sort of the tougher subject matter, the violence, which it deals with.

Moss, somehow, retains her dignity but McCarthy and Haddish are made to look like amateurs. I'm a fan of both women. Get me outta this kitchen.

Just because a woman wields a gun or acts like a badass, that doesn’t make her a "strong female character." A strong female character is one that is well-written. Unfortunately, The Kitchen doesn’t have enough of those.
