Some people just have no sense of humor.
After Monday’s 75th Emmy Awards awarded basically three series — “Succession,” “The Bear,” and “Beef” — some TV fans were left feeling somewhere between robbed and confounded.
A number of observers simply didn’t dig the repetition; “Succession” and “Beef” each won eight Emmys, including the Creative Arts awards the weekend prior to the primetime show, and “The Bear” took home 10. Rote results, sure, but they were probably three of the best five shows of the eligibility window: June 1, 2022-May 31, 2023.
If that feels like a long time ago, that’s because it was. Monday’s Emmy Awards were supposed to air in September 2023, but were delayed by the writers’ and actors’ strikes.
Some of the loudest opposition to Monday’s Emmys results was simply about the category that “The Bear” dominated: comedy. The resistance has a point — but that doesn’t make them right.

Preparing and serving food channels an emotion that only a skilled person can tap into. Using this as a concept, Christopher Storer managed to give the viewers two seasons of The Bear. Season one was just a preview now that we look back, and season two is about the struggles that every character in the show goes through just to make sure the restaurant opens on time. The Bear Season 2 is a race against time, and we, as viewers, can only mentally chant tick-tock to the characters on the other side of the screen.

A very strange thing happened to me early in the second season premiere of FX’s The Bear. An early scene features Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), and the rest of the restaurant dramedy’s colorful group of characters arguing over everything they will need to do and spend in order to transform Carmy’s family’s decaying old sandwich shop into the fine dining establishment of his and Sydney’s dreams. As everyone kept talking and shouting over one another, and as Carmy kept adding to the...

According to its 100 percent Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, “The Bear” is a flawless show.
Still, IndieWire had a few clarification questions for creator and co-showrunner (and director) Christopher Storer. We caught up with the busy “Ramy” alum via email, and received some surprisingly (for this business) satisfying answers to our burning questions. Get your Ove Gloves ready.
Previously, IndieWire spoke with series star Jeremy Allen White (“Shameless”) about the absolute panic attack that is the one-shot Episode 7, as well as his favorite real Chicago sandwich shop. During our 20-plus-minute phone conversation, White talked a bit about the huge Season 1 finale reveal: that Michael (Jon Bernthal) stashed wads of shrink-wrapped cash in the 10-oz. tomato cans Carmine (White) initially refused to open for the staff’s family spaghetti meal.
