I keep calling The Bear “Beef” because of the name of the restaurant. I don’t really know how the name, The Bear, applies to the show yet, but I’m assuming it’s more relevant in the new season (which I haven’t finished yet).

the main character is Carmine "Bear" Berzatoo

Spoiler: In case you haven't seen S1

And at the end of season one they announce the closing of The Beef, but a new restaurant called "The Bear" will be opening soon. Then Season 2 delves into its opening.

I love Richie.

Your shirt says BERF!
It was a printing mistake. Collector's item.

I swear they never mention his last name or I just completely missed it/forgot.

I've only seen the first episode so far but they were discussing it with the new name at the very end.

This is the sign at the end of S1. I didn't think it was a metaphor or something deep. Guy's name, now guy's restaurant. Da Bear.

I am loving The Bear so much that I feel crazy for not seeing its potential last year. I'm almost finished with season one, but I'm kinda trying to savor it a little. It's hard cause I just want to keep watching.

S1 E7 is one of my favorite episodes of television ever.

I am a sucker for single shot story telling. This one is up there with Goodfellas and True Detective.

Thank you, Chef.

Absolutely. So frenetic and enthralling, my fave ep of the entire series so far. The Fishes episode in S2 is fabulous, but more than twice as long. Completely different from S1E7, but also great tv.

Interestingly, two friends of mine (so far) have said they hated it. No spoilers, as I know not everyone has seen it, but it's so fascinating to me that people had to actually leave the room during it, whereas I was like "OMG this is so incredible"

I haven't started it yet but this series from Boots Riley (Sorry To Bother You) seems like it should be good

+1

The opening scene gave me massive amounts of anxiety and ran longer than I thought necessary. Took me three tries to finish the episode.

I find they do that a lot. Scenes go on for a beat longer than you would expect, ratcheting up the tension level. It’s amazing

I’ve loved every minute of The Bear up until that point.

Rewatching season one before jumping into season 2. Hearing the late great Lin Brehmer introduce Sufjan’s “Chicago” over that opening Chicago montage of episode 107 “The Review” of The Bear gave me all the feels.

 

[Diaper Baby Escape Plan]

The Bear s02 was really good. That long holiday episode w Jamie Lee Curtis and list of other guests was great.

 

[mdmost]

Watched the Fishes episode last night. Wow. That's a lot of star power in one show.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Fak stalling the drywall guy by ranking his favorite 'Mats albums is one of those moments that makes The Bear special. The drywall guy replying by saying he's "more into Chingy" is what makes it effing hilarious.

 

[jamieanderson1968]

Watched the first episode of the new Idris Elba series, Hijack. Uh ya, Idris we gotta grab a beer and talk about how you choose your projects.

 

[Bennnnn]

Wow the fishes ep of The Bear was unreal. I didn't know how I'd feel about the plethora of cameos, but it all really worked. They all felt like they fit in perfectly.
