If the premiere was just a reflection and prologue (AND an epilogue?), then this is the premiere people were probably actually expecting.
It feels good to be back. I love how natural and realistic all of the dialogue and acting is. Writing and acting out stuff like this probably takes forever to get right! Reminds me a bit of Uncut Gems in terms of pacing and dialogue and screaming, ha! I do genuinely love Carmy. He's screwed up quite a bit and hectic and rude, but he still TRIES to make time for what's important and who is important, even if it doesn't always work.
It was also just very funny. I was laughing throughout the episode. I don't personally feel like the series has outstayed its welcome and I'm very much so looking forward to more.
Also, the manic pacing seems to be coming back. This one started off pretty quiet and then got progressively louder and more crude as it went on in typical Bear fashion.
So far so good!
