Trivia
Jeremy Allen White went to cooking school for two weeks and worked in the kitchen of multiple restaurants, among them the Michelin star-rated Pasjoli, to train for the show.

Goofs
The portrayal of Claire's schedule -- she's a resident in emergency medicine -- is completely unrealistic. Residents work 60-80 hours a week, and when they're not working they're exhausted. They're not helping people move, they're not eating three-hour meals on a Saturday night, and they're not lounging lazily around the house for hours in the mornings.

Nominated for so many awards for a reason

The Bear absolutely lives up to all the hype that it's been getting. Normally this isn't a show that would interest me but after reading all the great reviews and seeing how it's on every "best show of the year" list I've seen so far I thought I'd give it go. This not only met my expectations but surpassed them in every way. This has been nominated for every award possible and deservingly so. I'm especially glad for Jeremy Allen White since I'm a big Shameless fan. He was fantastic in this and leads a great cast. I couldn't stop watching this, I binged the entire first two seasons over the course of a few days and was disappointed when it was over. There's a reason this show was nominated for so many awards.
