Abstract

I review the recent theoretical progress on the study of tree-level semileptonic $b\to c$ decays. After briefly reviewing the latest developments on the exclusive determinations of $|V_{cb}|$ , I discuss the hints on lepton flavor universality violation in $B\to D^{(\ast)}\ell \bar{\nu}$ decays. Particular emphasis is given to the implications of these anomalies and to the possibilities to experimentally test the proposed New Physics explanations.
