OT TV: The Bear and King of the Hill

Two shows for I was looking forward to this summer. I know The Bear is divisive, but I would credit them on ending strong. Feels like it got out of its own way, returned to what works, and focused less on Carmy. That was a win.

On the other hand, Season 15 of King of the Hill is 10/10. No notes. Easily the best revival/reboot I've seen, and Judge masterfully captured the feel of the original series while updating to make it relevant for now
