Right now you can watch We Bare Bears in Australia on Foxtel Now and Stan, and in the US on Hulu and YouTube TV — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. The 4-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. Its 8/10 TMDB score, built from 1,853 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Eric Edelstein sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Start it on Foxtel Now whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, We Bare Bears is worth clearing space for. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate We Bare Bears from the crowd. Three brother bears awkwardly attempt to find their place in civilized society, whether they're looking for food, trying to make human friends, or scheming to become famous on the internet. Grizzly, Panda and Ice Bear stack atop one another when they leave their cave and explore the hipster environs of the San Francisco Bay Area, and it's clear the siblings have a lot to learn about a technologically driven world. By their side on many adventures are best friend Chloe (the only human character in the cast), fame-obsessed panda Nom Nom, and Charlie, aka Bigfoot. Between them, Eric Edelstein and Demetri Martin carry the comedy without ever forcing it. The series ran for 4 seasons (2015–2019), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. What keeps We Bare Bears from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, We Bare Bears is a strong candidate. Fans of TaleSpin will recognise the sensibility here immediately. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Eric Edelstein is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.

We Bare Bears wrapped up in 2019, created by Daniel Chong — and 4 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
