I just finished Season 1. Looking forward to Season 2 when it comes out.
It's really good. Kind of a cross between Ted Lasso and The Wire and Steve Coogan's The Trip.
It's a very different kind of TV show with complex, interesting, and very human characters.
Much to its credit, The Bear steers clear of the typical woke Hollywood nonsense while telling very human stories of the dreams and challenges of small business owners and working-class Americans.
It made me think of my son's own fish-out-of-water tale. He's a tall, handsome, likable, charming white kid who put himself through college by waiting tables in a small family-owned and run Indian restaurant. He's got dozens of great, funny, curry-spiced stories about his co-workers and customers that are very much like episodes of The Bear. He loved working at that restaurant.
I highly recommend watching this show. It's a fun roller coaster of a TV show. I give it a refreshing 10/10.
