Never have I watched a series that has made me feel so frantic as "The Bear"!
It's loud, crude and filthy and I love it. We owned a restaurant and, while we were not as crazy as this one, I have been IN restaurants that are exactly like this!
This series is so well acted that you often feel like you are eavesdropping on the participants in this story.
The filming is very raw and often so close up that it makes me feel nervous! The food looks real and tasty.
The characters are all larger than life and all go from hero to zero and back again in this roller coaster epic.
The relatively short shows give you a chance you have a break, and a shower!
This is a must see series, but be prepared to be dragged along by the apron strings, while being shouted at!

I saw the reviews and thought "sounds interesting" but how could I be so wrong??? This is a totally confused movie and we turned it off after a half hour!! It was so confused - I mean I didn't even get who the girl/relationship was to him? The story seemed so undeveloped and contrived, it was unwatchable! Where was the passion, the anguish, the horror? How can you just "infiltrate" a gang with a few added tattoos? There seemed to be violence for violence sake but it had seemingly nothing to do with the story! There was no character really likeable apart from the druggie girl! For a bereaved father/husband he was the most mild mannered person I have ever seen! The story, supposedly true, cannot have been like this - a cult sporting nazi tattoos? The whole thing was terrible.... Sorry....
Well acted, sweet, great characters and actually really good acting. As far as a Christmas movie this one is up there. The writing was slick and was very up to date. Sure the town was a bit twee and stock but heck, it's Christmas ! The lead was very sweet and sassy and carried it off great. Freddie Prinze was really good as the dad, as was the daughter. Grandma was a hoot. I felt this was whole adventure just "worked". The frustrations were real and yes, it's a Christmas movie, but the whole thing was performed really well and there was enough " unbelievability" in it to make it believable. Just sit back and enjoy - I know we did.
