Midnight Diner (2009–2014)

A Quiet Masterpiece
13 September 2023
I've been trying not to binge this show because to me it is best consumed an episode or two at a time. I normally enjoy watching shows together with my wife but since she doesn't particularly have a taste for it, I find it most enjoyable watching alone at night when everyone is in bed. Although the stories are not particularly groundbreaking, each episode introduces new characters whose stories are reverently, and gently told. The subtle and thoughtful pacing has no equal among western shows and is perhaps due to the culture and setting as much as the story writing.

I'm nearly through the third season and looking forward to slowly moving through the last two. I don't believe there has been, or will be anything quite like it.
