The series establishes its grammar in the first episode: a late-night diner, a miso pork soup, and the story of a regular who cannot let go of a memory. The show's patience is its argument - it refuses to rush toward resolution.
IMDb rates the Netflix run at 8.4/10; Rotten Tomatoes gives Season 1 a 100% Tomatometer across 11 critic reviews, with the Guardian calling it 'woozy and narcoleptic' in the most complimentary possible terms.
Renewal: Five seasons aired across MBS (2009-2014) and Netflix (2016, 2019). A sixth season was greenlit in 2026 after a seven-year hiatus. (Wikipedia)
