The pilot episode of “The Bear,” FX’s frenetic series about a high-end chef who takes over his family’s blue-collar sandwich shop, opens with an unsettling image.
The man swings the door open wide and confronts a great, angry bear.
At first, he tries to soothe the beast, whispering, “I know.” But the bear lunges at him.
The bear is grief.
The kind of trauma that grief imposes has become a popular subject on buzzy TV shows.
