The first season of The Bear was so frantic and stress inducing.
The first few episodes of Season 2 were as if they from a totally different show - heavily focused gastronomy and characters - I bet they lost a bunch of the people who were into season 1. I’m going to put very general thoughts in spoilers but for anyone who might have gave up on season 2 after the first few episodes, keep on going. It is so worth it.
