The Baker and the Beauty

The Baker and the Beauty, ABC's adaptation of the hit Israeli comedy Beauty and the Baker, is a punchy pastelito of goodness that would satisfy the sweet tooth of any rom-com fan.

This show’s first four episodes, indeed, generally seem to depict a show coming into a better understanding of itself as it goes on — a very heartening thing to see. Heartening, too, is a show that feels warm and genuinely escapist at a tense time in the world outside the frame.
