Josh Reviews The Bear Season Two
It was only a few months ago that I watched, and was blown away by, the first season of The Bear. (Click here for my review!) Created by Christopher Storer (who wrote six of the ten season two episodes, and co-directed three of them), the series follows Carmy, a talented chef who
