On behalf of all Italian Americans everywhere, please don’t let the volatile, perpetually miserable, and explosive Berzatto family depicted in “The Bear” deter you from running for the hills if you find yourself under the spell of an Italian famiglia. We’re way more fun than they are.
The Bear Season 2: Berzatto Family Tree Explained
Hulu’s can’t-decide-if-it’s-a-drama-or-comedy megahit “The Bear” has been the talk of the town since its 2022 premiere, and for good reason. It’s a great story and brilliantly acted by the entire cast. But who in their right mind would want to hang out with those Berzattos? As someone who is 85% Italian (thanks, 23andMe) and grew up in a large extended family that even includes friends who are called aunts, uncles, and cousins (“Hey, paisan!”), it’s really about love, laughter, joy, and… oh, you get the idea.
To make it clear to all Italians, let's see how we can teach the Berzattos to heal their wounds, embrace life with enthusiasm and maybe show a smile every now and then, okay?
