The Bear


 

I did not want to watch The Bear. I watch very little TV in recent years, and I had zero interest in investing time in a new show I knew I wouldn't watch again. But alas, Junie occupied the living room and I had little choice. 

I wound up binging the entire first season. 

By now I'm sure you've heard the premise: a rising star in the restaurant world returns to Chicago to run the family sandwich shop after the death of his brother, and the conflict between the two culinary worlds stretches the bonds of both family and friends. 

It's great. Fast paced, emotional, funny, well acted, it's got it all. Now I did think a couple episodes were clearly filler, a surprising disappointment in a mere ten episode arc, and the finale was a deus ex machina of the highest order. 

Still, welllllllll worth tuning it. 

Grade: A+
