What channel is The Bear on?

It's a Fox show. You won't find it on Netflix or such, not sure?

If you have IPTV it will be on there, all eight episodes.

The main character is the same lad who plays Lip in the American version of Shameless.

Superb acting in it.

What’s it about mate?

All set in a kitchen. Think Gordon Ramsay meets working in the City Chippy.

Throw in some Chicago street corner guys, drug deals and Michelin-starred doughnuts.

Brilliant.

Really? to me the production feels like something more suited to CBBC.

Yeah! As a big GOT and Vikings fan, I think I've started to become a little bored of the focus on beheadings and guts spilling out (e.g constant death).

Rings of Power is just lighter and a bit more magical. Very PG stuff in general, but the world they've created with the landscapes and cities is pretty incredible and above the competition IMO.

A long time since I've seen something which holds your attention like it does.

28 minute episodes and the intensity leaves you drained just watching it.

Loved the ending of the first series.

I watched the first 15 minutes and it wasn't doing it for me at all. Will give it another shot.

I m not just talking the obvious stuff.....there is no depth or tension involved,its all very superficial and toy.
I will watch the series finale later in the hope there is something to look forward to in the next season.

The Bear.

Outrageously good. Jeremy Allen White, such a great actor.

A very long time since I watched a series and felt a sense of loss the next one wasn't immediately available.

Started watching this earlier in the week, it's brilliant.

The landscapes and settings for the stories are incredible and exactly what i imagined it to be. However its the characters and lack of real depth to the storyline i just struggle with. Characters just appear with no real backstory or history to them and we're expected to suddenly buy into their plot. We then get fleeting moments of them, or snippets of their history but its just not enough for me. The battle scenes are just part of the overall programme, but i think with RoP they have just really missed a trick in some of the incredible characters they could of developed but have just thrown at us all hotch potch of storylines and characters with no build up or plot to why we should like them.

That being said, ill stick with it and hopefully that comes in the final episodes and future series.

I actually felt the tension coming through the TV screen?

Christ, even I felt tense!
