Review, The Bear, Disney+ returns to original recipe for new series
*** AFTER the blood, sweat, tears, burns and shouting - lots of shouting - the review is in. What review you ask? How quickly they forget. Season three of The Bear, the Disney+ tale of a Chicago restaurant desperate for a Michelin star, was taken up with waiting for a make-or-break review. Sounds dull, was dull. The new 10-part series, which dropped today, opens with said review. As expected, it's a mixed bag, at once praising the restaurant's ambition while slating it for chaos and inconsistency. Sounds about right, both for restaurant and series. The Bear's creator, Christopher Storer, had a choice here: to double down on the misery and introspection, or strike out for pastures new. That he opens with a clip from Groundhog Day is a detectable-from-space clue to where he is heading. As is culinary wonderboy Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) breaking into a smile, and something approaching a chuckle. The Bear gets happy - I kid you not. That's the good news. The bad is the restaurant is bleeding money and will be forced to close in months if the team can't land that Michelin star. Finally, a cause that everyone can rally around. Front of house manager Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), still the show's best character and its secret sauce, can forget his ex is getting married and his daughter has a new daddy. Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) can seize the day and sign the partnership agreement. Carm can start helping people again instead of screaming at them. There is so much motivation going on, I half expected the theme tune from Rocky to strike up and the staff to run out en masse to climb the nearest steps. Wrong city, but everybody loves a comeback tale, right? Whether the hardcore fans of The Bear will feel the same I'm not sure. Can a show built on the unhappiness of its characters change so much and have the same appeal? Storer gives viewers no time to ponder. All that good stuff of old comes to the table - breakneck editing, pumping music, a sense of the team against the world, everybody yelling 'Doors' as the restaurant opens, and of course calling each other chef. There's a new character, the maitre d from Olivia Colman's old joint, who looks promising. There's even an attempt at some comedy, though so far that's still a work in progress. While it is fun getting back to The Bear basics, the show will stand or fall on its main characters, led by Carmy. In the last series, however, he was the weakest of the bunch, and you do wonder how much he has left to say. Others can take up the slack, starting with Jamie Lee Curtis as Carm's mommie dearest, Richie and Carm's sister Sugar (Abby Elliott). They will have to. Whatever its more passionate defenders thought, The Bear did not change television in the way, say, The Sopranos did. It was always soapier than it seemed, and it's no bad thing to go back there.

Only real Wimbledon fans can solve this mind-boggling brainteaser in 9 seconds
You will need some seriously sharp eyes to solve this Wimbledon-themed brainteaser - and, of course, to be a dedicated tennis fan to work this one out in just a matter of seconds Only the most eagle-eyed tennis fans will be able to crack this brainteaser in less than 10 seconds. To mark the first day of Wimbledon - nothing less than the UK tennis event of the year - challenge yourself with this tricky brainteaser and test out just how good your eyesight and attention to detail really is - and you can even up the ante a little further by sharing this one with your group chats and see who managed to solve it quickest. This brainteaser challenges you to find the tennis ball hidden away amongst rows of different fruits. For the most part, you are presented with apples, which are a similar colour to the tennis ball, adding to the confusion for your eyes and brain, and also littered in the image are other fruits like strawberries, kiwis, watermelon, and oranges. Take a look below and see if you can find the lonely tennis ball in nine seconds or less. Brainteasers like this one aren't just a bit of fun, they can also help improve your attention to detail, memory, problem-solving skills and even keep some of the adverse impacts of aging at bay. Doing a daily puzzle or challenge like this one can literally make you happier and healthier - and also massively improve your motivation levels, as each time you solve one you get a sweet dopamine hit that reminds you just how good it feels to challenge yourself. This brainteaser is a kind of optical illusion too, using the similarity of colours and repeating patterns to confuse the messages sent between your eyes and your brain. To overcome this confusion, you have to really concentrate on exactly what you see in front of you - and not skip over any detail. By really looking at the image, you will be able to overpower the assumptions your brain is making about what it thinks it is seeing. Human beings rely on thousands of assumptions every day - this is because what our eyes are seeing has to be taken in, sent to the brain, and then processed, all in a matter of milliseconds. This creates a kind of lag, so what we are consciously seeing and what is in front of us is actually fractionally delayed. To safely operate through this lag time, our brain relies on assumptions based on our previous experiences to keep us safe - and this is where brainteasers and optical illusions trip us up. It's quicker for our brains to assume all the little round green things are apples, as the image is repeated so many times, but if you pay close attention the tennis ball is hiding there in plain sight. If you think you have the answer, keep reading to see whether you were correct, but if you are still searching for the tennis ball, here is a little clue: scroll back up and take a good look at the bottom right quadrant of the image. Did you manage to find the tennis ball and, crucially, were you faster than your friends? If you solved this one in nine seconds or less, give yourself a pat on the back and declare yourself the world's biggest tennis fan. Took you a little longer? Keep practicing with the Mirror's extensive games and teasers.
