It's interesting to me that so many of the shows I've been watching lately have three things in common: They all have women as leading (if not the main) characters, they've all been very good, and they've all been cancelled.
Y - the last man
Kindred
Paper Girls
Oh, and many of those characters have been bipoc and/or lgbtq+.
Strange, huh?
#TheBear is a really great series. The soundtrack and different visual aesthetics explored in each episode made me so thrilled to keep watching!
Even if the episodes are different, we get a clear message through the audiovisual elements: the mess of the restaurant at the beginning, the realization that team work is necessary, the personal conflicts and impacts brought up with a sudden death, the sense that even if everything is not perfect the job must be done, and the certainty that suicide is a collective issue. It is a beautiful allegory of life itself.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Having lived through those times, and getting an HIV diagnosis right around that time, season 2 of Pose hit real close to home. I'm a tough old bird and it takes a lot to make me cry but there were moments during this season that got to me enough to make my eyes leak. It's a must watch.
