The Bear season 2 is here, and it reminds me of food in more ways than the gorgeous dishes it shows on screen. That's because I'm in danger of binge-watching it faster than one should — and I'm starting to think The Bear's audience is akin to a still-not-popular-enough restaurant.
The FX on Hulu (still a confusing brand) series began last year, showing us a family-owned Chicago restaurant on hard times. After a death in the family, Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) returns from his success in New York's culinary scene to run the shop, only to find trouble at every turn.
