What to Watch: The Bear

This is an excellent slice of life series that you should watch. It’s about a Michelin-starred chef who moved back home to Chicago to run his brother’s sandwich shop. Most of the scenes happen in restaurants and more specifically, the kitchen. It’s riveting in a subtle way and combined with scenes from their personal lives, it can get really intense. We watched not knowing anyone in the cast which made us really see only the characters and not the actors. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed with some cameos and current pop culture references.
