What people are saying
Updated nightlyMost people are into The Bear, a Chicago kitchen drama where chef Carmy and his crew fight to turn a sandwich shop into something more. The performances, especially from Jeremy Allen White and the ensemble, are the main draw, though some find the pacing can be a real slog. The characters, like Richie and Tina, have become the heart of the show, even if the overall story gets mixed reactions. It's a stressful, funny, and visually sharp watch that clearly resonates, even when it tests your patience.
