For a long time I had been dying to see "The Bear", the Hulu/Star+ series that seemed to have positively surprised a good portion of the critic, built around a simple but effective premise in which a world-acclaimed chef must take control from his brother's humble restaurant after he decided to end his life.

This same synopsis serves as the starting point for a story where food and the hidden chaos behind a kitchen intermingle, presenting us with a very powerful drama.

It's quite refreshing, considering we're at a point where all the "popular" shows seem to be polarized and it's hard to come up with a project that effectively draws on elements from so many genres without losing its own focus, although The Bear wouldn't really qualify as a drama or comedy in absolute terms, the referential use of crucial aspects of both genres and narrative styles to execute his vision is evident.

The greatest virtue of "The Bear" lies in its frenetic pace, capable of perfectly capturing the dynamics of a kitchen where there are multiple members with different personalities and desires in a state of constant conflict, without neglecting fleeting moments of harmony where all come together to produce something wonderful.

Despite the short duration of each of its episodes, The Bear manages to make us complicit in the aspirations and fears of its protagonists, starting with the tormented chef who tries to keep his brother's restaurant going (without even understanding why he inherited it in the first place) and continuing with the rest of the kitchen staff who do not seem to be entirely happy with the transition that this implies.

Created by Christopher Storer and starring Jeremy Allen White, this is one of the most solid current series that exists, especially attractive for those who feel a passion for food even with all the chaos that involves to produce it.

Desde hace muchísimo tiempo moría de ganas por ver "The Bear", la serie de Hulu/Star+ que parecía haber sorprendido positivamente a una buena porción de la crítica, construida sobre una premisa simple y efectiva en dónde un chef aclamado mundialmente debe tomar el control del humilde restaurante de su hermano luego de que esté decidiera acabar con su vida.

Está misma sinopsis sirve como punto de partida para una historia en dónde la comida y el caos oculto detrás de una cocina se entremezclan presentándonos un drama muy potente.

Es bastante refrescante, considerando que nos encontramos en un punto en dónde todas las series "populares" parecen estar polarizadas y es difícil conseguir un proyecto que tome efectivamente elementos de tantos géneros sin perder su propio enfoque, si bien The Bear no podría catalogarse como un drama o una comedia en términos absolutos, es evidente el uso referencial de aspectos cruciales de ambos géneros y estilos narrativos para ejecutar su visión.

La mayor virtud de "The Bear" radica en su ritmo frenético, capaz de capturar a la perfección la dinámica de una cocina en dónde existen múltiples miembros con personalidades y deseos diferentes en un estado de conflicto constante, sin dejar de lado los momentos fugaces de armonía en dónde todos confluyen para producir algo maravilloso.

A pesar de la corta duración de cada uno de sus episodios, The Bear logra hacernos cómplices de los aspiraciones y los temores de sus protagonistas, partiendo por el chef atormentado que trata de sacar adelante el restaurante de su hermano (Sin siquiera comprender por qué lo heredó en primer lugar) y continuando con el resto del staff de la cocina que no parece estar del todo conforme con la transición que esto implica.

    I loved the series, I think this year the second season will be released, by the way, I read that in the second season Bob Odenkirk will be a guest in some episode. I hope they keep up the pace, which as you say is the best and the humor.
