What an episode...television just doesn't get any better than this. The rhythm, the cinematography, the sensitivity, the music, the location (a character in itself), the direction, the depth of character, the acting, the hug - woah...Tears in my eyes in multiple moments.
As an actor I must congratulate Will Poulter on his performance - beautifully balanced, subtle, truthful, understated, the perfect dish - bravo.
Only complaint: why don't we get more TV like this!?
The Bear is such a joy and delivers on every level, I didn't know how they could possibly improve upon season 1 and yet somehow they've made that feel like an amuse bouche.
Can't recommend this series and this episode highly enough.

Feels like watching Saturday afternoon kids tv (Merlin etc) but with 1 horrific moment per episode. Could have been so dark and intense and beautiful...but it isn't - tone is confused and ultimately a real let down.
Of course reviews are subjective, but as an actor I'm compelled to say I think Mamoudou Athie gives a wonderful and compelling performance as the lead; subtle, pensive, sensitive and with great depth. Yes, the series is slow - but so is a wonderful massage and a nice cuppa tea - chill, enjoy the pace and intrigue...or maybe switch back to Tiktok...
