Discuss The Bear

Surprised to see no discussion threads at all for this on here!

Landed up watching due to the lack anything else worth watching on Disney+ - that is unless you want to continuously watch pumped out MCU films or Star Wars TV shows!

Anyway, wasn't expecting much but got hooked by the chaotic, fast pace of the episodes in Season 1.

Season 2 calmed down completely, expanding upon each of the main characters, before we hit the flashback episode S2E6, which guest starred Jamie Lee Curtis, among others, who gave possibly the greatest performance of her career. The episode itself was absolutely incredible, well worth the wait of the build up to it.

Not only was the episode an amazing piece of television in itself but it was also very cleverly placed before an episode which featured Ritchie, which made it high transformative in terms of how we viewed the character. I'm not sure I've ever seen one of these "sideways" episodes ever used so effectively (e.g. I'm thinking the stupid fly Breaking Bad episode, the Stranger things El goes on a road trip episode, etc).

Anyone else watched this?
