Bear in Paris

We finally finished watching "The Bear" and it deserves both an Emmy AND a Michelin star or two..or three..

It took us awhile to get into it..the camera shots are dizzying, the dialogue is frenetic, but it eventually won us over in our hearts, souls... and guts. 

There has to be a new category for "dramedy" which this is. 

 I'd  almost recommend you'd start with episode eight, which gives clarity to a complicated backstory, and has the most clever, unanticipated plot twist I've seen from anything in over a decade--plus a soliloquy by star Jeremy Allen White that will leave you breathless.

Don't literally do that..watch from Episode One, but stick with it, even when you think you've had your fill. When you can't fathom having another bite of anything, even just a spoonful of this salty and often bitter fare.

We also just finished Season Three of "Emily in Paris" where gourmet meals and a busy restaurant also play a major role in the story, but this fare was a bit more light--more easily digested--more apt to give you a sugar high an hour after viewing.

Now this I'd like to see:  Gabriel and Carmy working in the same kitchen.

Who wouldn't tune in for a rousing season of "Bear in Paris?"
