TV series: 10 titles not to be missed in October 2023

One of the cult figures of the most recent quality (and niche) series is back: chef Carmy Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) from the series The Beara dark comedy widely appreciated for the delicacy of the themes addressed, for the irony underlying great traumas, for the brilliant writing.

Hero Carmy Berzatto, chef who, following her brother’s suicide, took over a family restaurant where he tries to combine a past as a great chef with the most basic needs of a fast food restaurant in a infamous neighborhood of Chicago.

In the gap between the two worlds, and in Carmy’s infinite and tenacious effort to recompose it, lies a hymn to discipline that allows you to get out of even the most painful situations.

The second season opens by shifting the focus to other characters, his partners and his employees. The Bear it is a tasty comedy with dramatic and bitter implicationsa contamination of registers which has long found its ideal place in the short format of streaming platforms.

It is above all a I invite you to seek support in others to defeat your demons (which take the form of the bear that populates Carmy’s nightmares and which gives the series its title).

For those who love comedies with a melancholy aftertaste and writing that delves deep into the soul.
