When Margaret Atwood wrote The Handmaid’s Tale in 1985, little did she know that its television adaptation would revolutionize the still-nascent world of original streaming content. While the plot sounds simple enough, much of Carmy’s previous life is a bit of a mystery, and it’s doled out in amuse-bouche-sized bits throughout the season, adding another layer of tension to the series. Anyone who has ever worked in a busy kitchen knows the stress that comes with that, and The Bear does an excellent job of making the feeling palpable. While Carmy initially struggles to acclimate himself to being home and to his inherited restaurant’s back-to-basics style, he eventually realizes that it’s not too late to change both himself and the restaurant. Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) is a superstar of the fine dining world who has returned to his hometown of Chicago in order to save his family’s struggling sandwich shop following the death by suicide of his brother. The electrifying series, which premiered in June 2022, was all anyone could talk about last summer-and for good reason. Even if you’ve never seen The Bear, you’ve undoubtedly heard about it (and had at least one person recommend it to you).
