Review
The Bear
This show was pretty up and down through its run — it had one of the single most intense episodes of television ever with the feast of the seven fishes a few seasons back, but The Bear typically just fell into televised anxiety with moments of laughter. Where the show really shined was its characters. Each was fully developed, deep, and complex.
