I enjoyed the film and having watched the first episode the series seems to have just the same level of quality.

The excellent Stephen Graham is clearly going to play a much bigger part.
 
Is the series actually different to the film? I assumed they'd just split the film to make a series out of it.

Yes, its a follow up to the film so picks up where the film left off.

Its really good and love how they have made it in few takes - really adds to the effect.

Stephen Graham only has a small part this time but the rest of the cast where really good.

Watched the short film, the long film and the first two episodes. It's superb. Not relaxing mind.

There was a letter in the Daily Mail complaining about it. Said the dialogue was poor, too much bad language and too many kitchen scenes.
 
It’s a tense watch. Great acting though.

Worn out after watching that…
 
Yeah, agreed on the comments. I watched the first episode last night when the missus nodded off.

Realised it was not something to be watching an hour before I was going to sleep.

I worked in a few kitchens in my younger days but the unsociable long hours weren’t for me. It brought back some memories but stressed me out at the same time.

Not sure when I’ll watch the next one 😆
 
I was reading they filmed the entire film in 1 take and planned to do it 8 times and pick the best one, then Covid happened so they only had 4 to choose from. Quite impressive

Is it the same for the show?

I think it was the short film that was filmed in one take, not the full length one.

No was definitely the full length one, there isn't a single cut. Maybe that short one also was also though

Boiling Point is a 2021 British drama film directed by Philip Barantini and written by Barantini and James Cummings. It stars Stephen Graham, Vinette Robinson, Ray Panthaki, and Hannah Walters. It is a one-shot film set in a restaurant kitchen. It is an expansion of a 2019 short film[2] of the same name, also directed by Barantini and starring Graham.[3][4] It was originally planned to record eight takes of the film, but it was only possible to film half of these before a COVID-19 lockdown led to the end of the shoot.[5]

That's mental, and very impressive.
I'm pretty sure the series isn't because there are several scenes in different locations.
