Bolognese

To me this acted as the culminating episode. This takes it back to the beginning of the season where in order to make the restaurant work, they had to improve themselves going on separate journeys.

Its a big reason why this season worked. Seeing what they've been through and experienced and putting that towards the restaurant, it's quite satisfying and it does feel fulfilling. Knowing that, it definitely makes the end of the episode feel like a massive breakthrough.

Seeing snippets of their lives during the fire suppression test was moving cause you actually feel for these people and what they've had to endure to make everything possible.

This was such a great episode! This was the journey of the characters, coming together as everyone returns to the restaurant after their inspirational trips!

Their was just a oot of good and satisfying vibes! Carmen and Sydney finally get along and find common ground! Tina returns and seems to enjoy it! A small great scene as she steps in as mentor!

Richie however gets the best! He really changed and it was such a treat seeing him Hubble, appologetic and above all.. passionate for what he is doing.. service and providing a unique unforgettable experience!

That fire surpressiontest was really intense and the end was just a satisfying combination of emotions!

Finally. I was about to give up on this show due to the previous two overrated episodes. Was just planning to finish this show as I had started it. One of the episodes was just too slow and the other was a whole lot of family shouting. I feel they could have somehow merged the two and spared us the misery.

Now coming back to 'Bolognese'. This episode was quite good. It had suspense, drama, emotion and most importantly, a sense of direction. The team is getting back together and finally things are in motion again. Love the character growth of Richie. He's the type of friend we all need. I just don't like Sydney's attitude, but I guess things can't be perfect.

Well, let's hope the final few episodes also hold up.

After the last two amazing but intense episodes, this was a truly delightful way of following up on some of the deeper background and development we got on the characters.

Richie and another fork scene put the biggest smile on my face.

Sydney being Sydney fits her character. She is still young and this is immense pressure. The tension is building up and I am curious to see, what it will take for her to realise and change for the better.

And my most favorite moment Neil getting his moment too with his own "Enlightning" and the not so political phrase along was so much fun to watch.

Chapeau.

Solid episode. Not much to say other than that 'The Bear' is consistently engaging and entertaining to watch. Every episode contains a selection of great moments; never slow, never boring. That's more than a lot of shows can say, right now.

The restaurant is in its final stages prior to opening and this episode surely sets the tone for the final two remaining. We see a little more of our newly reformed Richie, our love-struck Carmine, our perpetually tense Syd, and a heartwarming reunion between Tina and Ebra. Not a lot happens in this episode, but it scraps the abundance of montages that have been present within most in-timeline episodes this season and dials up the conversation. It features great scenes between Richie and Natalie, Carmine and Syd and more, all of which contribute to the character development that has been slowly laid down throughout Season 2.

Not a mind-blowing episode, but a lot of fun to watch. Excited to see where we're heading next.
