"The Bear" we just finished the last episode NO SPOILERS

I’m not a critic. If I jump into something I let the creative process and performances take me where they want to take me.

I thought season 5 (8 episodes) was a return to season 1 - stress and comedy with exactly the right amount of The Faks.

Conversations throughout the season were direct, well written, and needed. Jeremy Allen White actually threw in a Springsteen reference in episode 1 or 2. I caught it anyway.

I’d highly recommend it. The Bear’s problem is that meeting expectations of season 1 and I’d say 2 were nearly impossible.
