Bears

If season 3 was about destructive cycles and repeating the same mistakes/avoiding change, season 4 is about making real change, growing and healing. This episode is a culmination of all that. Excuse the pun but this show never fails to fire on all cylinders - supreme writing, supreme direction, supreme acting, supreme everything. There's not a single character or journey you don't love. Even the guest stars do so much more than provide a famous face, they give their all to these performances, and they are astonishing. It's so so good. The Bear continues to be one of the best shows of all time and this episode shows us why.

This chapter made me feel good, like there is hope and it's possible to build on conflict and move on. The under-the-table scene is so perfect; when you need your family, and the family nurtures you, no matter how difficult it seems. And the most fragile and important things are sustained by the deep feelings lying and beating below them.

Understanding, patience, empathy, honesty, care, anger, fear... ingredients for a healthy life. I think this episode is about healing. Even DD! So talented actress!

Great editing, photography, acting, ensemble, script, and direction. What a magnificent team!!!

Immediately knew that this episode would be a masterpiece most likely the peak of season 4. I knew from the difference in time whenever theres an hour episode for the bear it's always packed with intense breath taking cinema. It's a wedding episode! Nothing could go wrong there but with this family I had a feeling, how could we can we go an hour without at least one person fighting. Nonetheless the conversation with carmine and lee was great, learning him and Michael made up especially after that family dinner incident was bittersweet. Not only that overall this episode was beautiful and amazingly done I loved the conversations and the little under the table problem.

When it comes to long episodes of the bear you know it is something special.

I expected to get another heart attack watching a long episode of the show, but it turned out to be one of the warmest and loveliest episodes of the show.

Seeing all these characters with all their background story coming togeter and making peace with eachother felt so good and frinendly.

The directing and acting and each one of the dialogues were as best as it could be.

I laughed and nearly cried because it didn't feel like i was watching the bears...i was seeing my own family. I was right there under that table.

This might be one of the best episodes of television I have ever seen.

The Bear is one of my top 3 shows if not my favourite, and this episodes just shows exactly why that is the case.

Having this great ensemble of characters all brought together, I can't help but love every one of them. The under the table scene was just stunning, so well written and acted.

The music is a fantastic constant throughout this show and just complements everything perfectly.

To have the time away from the restaurant and not worry about the ticking clock was lovely and Richie's interactions with Frank and Carmy and Claire.

Completely forgot it wasn't the finale, so on to the rest of the series...
