Anyone watched this? I think it's on Apple TV in the UK.
Show about a chef from a Michelin starred restaurant who comes home to Chicago to take over his dead brothers sandwich shop and, eventually, turn it into a restaurant.
It's a slow burn but absolutely brilliant. Season 2 is terrific and it's been renewed for season 3. It won 6 Emmy's last year and was nominated for / won dozens of other awards. We've been binging it and really enjoyed it. The episode "Fishes" in season 2 centers around a family dinner 5 years before and both explains a lot and is uproariously funny. Scene stealing cameo from Jamie Lee Curtis.

It is brilliant. The first episode is hard going as it starts to introduce the characters and the general chaos of the restaurant but trust me, it gets far,far better. It’s on Disney+ in the UK.
I nearly gave up after the 1st episode due to all the shouty chaos but it’s definitely worth sticking with as it just gets better & better. The Bear is absolutely brilliant TV.
The writing is as tight as it comes, the characters are superb and you really can move from hating them to loving them really rapidly. The previous poster who said "Forks" was their favourite episode is spot on in my opinion. Absolutely brilliant. I had never like "Cousin" but by the end of it I decided that he was my favourite character. Brilliantly acted, scripted and shot.
The Bear is an absolute gem of a show.
