NFT: Anyone check out The Bear on Hulu?

New show from FX. Half hour comedy/drama. One of those that you can quickly see is elevated, is well done and will be good. Jeremy Allen White (Lip from Shameless) stars as a James Beard award winning chef who is compelled to return to his brothers Chicago greasy spoon. The soundtrack is impeccable and quasi-celebrity chef and larger than life personality Matty Matheson serves as a consultant and as a recurring character.

Can't recommend this show enough, I think it's gonna be big.
I had just read a review

on Eater and then saw this post.

Haven't seen it, but plan on it now.
Watched the first 2 last night

Checked it based on the reviews, the lead being so strong on Shameless and being kind of a fan of Matty Matheson. I'm in for sure. Shot well and strong characters. It did induce some anxiety which is probably the point when the premise is about reviving a dying restaurant. There's some comedy in the colorful interactions which plays off that though.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out soon

Same thoughts. I think Matheson will bring a legitimacy or perhaps a authenticity to it. I love that dude. He's definitely not everyone's cup of tea but I find his personality to be infectious and his recipes are amazing.
Loved it

And can jump on the very good show bandwagon.
Finished the first season.

Around the middle episodes, it flattened out for me, but the story picked up and finished the season well. I liked where they left the season finale. Looking forward to the next season.
It's airing

on FX, right, but streaming on Hulu? Is that correct?
Watched some of the episodes this week. It is pretty good and
