The second season of The Bear, which debuted on Hulu a little over two weeks ago, has received widespread praise from critics and fans alike – namely, for its ability to create dynamic, three-dimensional female characters.
In season two of The Bear, Jeremy Allen White stars as Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto – an award-winning chef who returns home to Chicago to run his family’s sandwich shop after the death of his brother, Michael. His sous chef and business partner, Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edeberi) juggles re-opening the restaurant with her own struggles for perfection and pleasing her father. Longtime employee Tina (Liza Colón-Zayas) adapts to the restaurant’s changing environment by willingly attending culinary school, while Carmy’s sister “Sugar” (Abby Elliott) is simply holding the entire Berzatto family together.
