The Bear

This was a roller coaster of emotions and I loved every second of this episode. From being sad to hating characters to loving others. This was a well done piece of artwork! Congrats to the team that put this together. I haven't cried and been mad and happy all at the same time. In a really long time.

I can only express that I need everybody I come in contact with to watch this series and it needs to be broadcasted more as it covers such a variety of different stories and real life problems that people face each and everyday. If you are by chanced blessed to come across this review and series congrats you are about to beyond impressed.

After pushing the bar high throughout the season with some great episodes this last one completely fails, destroying on its way the feeling about the whole show. Bad writing, strange directing and editing, naive plot lines or twists, terrible soapy moments on more occasions, and then also forcing closure on all things in one episode is just amateurish to say the least...The main actors have little to work with in dreadfully long takes in which not much happens. Really bad and sad, to the point that you feel cheated on waiting for the finale. They could have ended the season in the previous episode and remain the cool show that they were before. Having such high ratings here for this episode is ridiculous.

Blown away by this conclusion to a superb second series of a wonderful programme. The transformation of characters, evolving from that incandescent "seven fishes" episode was just sublime. The two series of "The Bear" have been absolutely captivating, especially as I recall younger days working in a military officers kitchen to exacting and brutal standards. Nobody except those who have done this line of work necessarily appreciate the ungodly hell of delivering exacting, perfect food time after time after time to customers (or senior military officers!) without compromise or failure.

We all work for a reason and "The Bear" illuminates brilliantly the huge physical and emotional price it takes to deliver excellence.

This episode somehow managed to meet a lot of the expectasions i had for this episode, reagarding characters and pay-off, while still giving us a few surprises and that a lot can still happen in season 3!

This episode was intense, stressfull and emotional! It was a combination of vibes i got from the previous episodes! Some things were very satisfying to watch, like Richie taking over, while other scenes were more painfull and emotional!

The scene with Jamie Lee Curtis was just.. exceptionel!! The character of Donna was perfectly captured and solidefied in this scene! It could not have been better! Best supporting performance!

Now I just cant wait for season 3! The scenes with Carmen shows that there is still a long way to achieve happiness in your life!

The Bear: Season 2 on Hulu took a step back from the first season. This season the restaurant is in a mist of a rebuilt into a Michelin style restaurant but in order to get there each chef has to relearn their own craft to have a well managed kitchen. Cousin Richard played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach takes on a role to learn to be great at one thing instead of taking on so many responsibilities to the point he stresses himself and everyone around him. Tina who is played by Liza Colon-Zayas is asked to be the sous chef and to get there she goes back school to push herself to be better. Meanwhile Marcus who is played by Lionel Boyce is flown to Holland to master desserts with Carmen's former classmate Chef Luca who is played by Will Poulter. His episode was one of my favorites but my most favorite episode was Fishes which was a flashback event when the family gets together for a Christmas holiday dinner. An all star cast episode that feathered Jamie Lee Curtis played the unstable mother, Gillian Jacob as Cousin Richard's wife, Sarah Paulson and John Mulaney was a married couple, Oliver Platt reprises his role as the rich uncle who backs Carmen for his new restaurant and finally Uncle Lee who is played by Bob Odenkirk. Bob played a pivotal role to agitate Cousin Michael played by Jon Bernthal, which goes to show why he ended up killing himself. Abby Elliott is asked to take on the project manager position to help the restaurant to come to its completion. Finally Jeremy Allen White coming back after winning the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a streaming comedy series. I don't know how this is constituted as a comedy, it was more of a drama series especially with the love hate relationships with food and family. Loved season two although it was frustrating to watch especially with all the chaos in the kitchen. I would definitely recommend the series.
