Just binged the lot over two nights. I realise it's early bells but this was some of the best TV you'll see this year. A bold statement but there you are.

Disney+ (FX)

Or last year, too, for that matter. But, definitely, excellent show, great cast.

The episode where they made hot dogs was pretty good though.

And shouting about it. A lot.

Watched the 1st episode, not sure I’ll bother with the rest.

I didn't initially like the characters or the dialogue but stick with it, for me it was a grower.

One of the best things I've seen on TV for years...actually ever!!

The intensity captured in the penultimate episode - took me a while to calm down after that

It was OK. Some of the characters were very good. Bit too shouty sweary for me.

I'd never heard of it so had a Google - have to say it doesn't sound a great premise, but I'm home alone tomorrow and we have Disney, so I may give it a whirl

@robola

I wasn't sure after the first episode. Stick with it - well worth your time

It was my show of 2022. Utterly fantastic. The second last episode is one of the best episodes of any show ever.

Loved it.

Great cast, great dialogue, bloody funny and shot through with grief.

A great show in particular for anyone who loves to cook.

Also benefits from the fact that episodes are allowed to be exactly as long (or short) as they need to be.

Also, that soundtrack...

Started The Bear on Sunday, finished last night. Great TV. Agree with everyone saying that you've got to push through at the start, if it didn't start like that it wouldn't have been as good as it was
