The Bear is an American comedy-drama which has been a smash hit in the US after it aired on FX earlier this summer. Now the eight-part series, one of the few shows to score 100% on review site Rotten Tomatoes, is airing in the UK. Fans of good TV can now stream The Bear on Disney+.
But what is all the fuss about, and what is the show actually about? The restaurant-based show stars Jeremy Allen White (Shameless USA), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Andor, Girls, The Dropout) and Ayo Edebiri (Big Mouth) and has already been renewed for a second series on American channel FX.
It follows White, who plays young chef Carmy, who has to return to his native Chicago to run a sandwich shop left to him by his late brother after creating a successful cheffing career in New York.
