Just noticed that The Bear Season 2's on D+ from 19th July.
Superb!
Awesome!
Now available (I've not watched it yet).
The Bear season 2 has stepped up massively IMO. Really liked Season 1 but Season 2 is something else.

Probably the best series we have watched for a long time.
i'm feeling a little opposite - season 2 they all seem separated stories in episodes - as interesting as it is to see the characters develop, so far (ep 4 s2) there not much high pressure kitchen cooking together as in s1
still great though.

True. Great to see Lee Curtis and Odenkerke though. Wasn't expecting that.

Just started S1 of the Bear, bit of a Chef groupie so enjoying the kitchen stuff, surprised to be quite so gripped by the rest of it.
A lot of shouting though! Not a big fan of people shouting at each other.

Felt the same. Not in a negative way, as such, just a bit exhausting (though I suppose that's somewhat deliberate)..

The next episode though that focused on Richie (cousin) was superb.

Yeah this may not be the series for you then biglaugh

Not gripped by the first two eps of s.2 it must be said though.

Yeah very exhausting

Especially as it's an extra long episode

It does seem quite accurate for large American catholic families though

We love all things “chef” in our house but found the The Bear quite unwatchable-does it get better?

A Small Light

I initially thought it was going to be a documentary (as on Nat Geographic section of Disney+). But was actually a drama type thing.

Anyway, very good I thought. Mainly focussed on Miep Gies (lady who helped hide Otto Franks family and some others). Kind of hard watching at times as you know the outcome but worth a watch.
We've just finished it too

You know how it ends but it manages to give you hope before the reality

Brilliant, if as you say, hard to watch at times

Darkness Falls (series 1 in the logging camp) was always my favourite.
So good, the X-Files at its best in my view.

I've just caught up with Secret Invasion with 3 back-to-back episodes after taking a break whilst away on holiday. It's still not their best work but it helps watching a few together rather than waiting a week between installments.

Chef? It all just seemed so implausible and didn’t know what it wanted to be.

There’s a stellar show waiting to be written about professional kitchens but it always seems to me they always descend onto Patricia’s of other shows and genres.

I guess it’s a pretty long shot to find a writer who has the experience to make it realistic.

Chef just seemed to have characters by the numbers and situations that would never occur in a pro kitchen. Then any old storyline thrown at it that didn’t include anything to do with chef’ing.

dipping in and out of The Strain - some nice touches but (at the moment) there's something 'missing'

Sorry Bear yes, not sure why I called it Chef! Both times that’s what I was posting about, I think we lasted two, possibly three episodes.
