As season two begins, the whole team is united in the ambitious project of retooling the grimy hole-in-the-wall that was The Beef into a sleek fine-dining establishment to be called The Bear. Just as not every dish survives a menu retooling, some elements get lost as the dramedy transitions from a series about working in a kitchen to one about launching a restaurant; the boiling tension of season one is now more of a rapid simmer. But the series doubles down on its deep affection for the characters and the relationship between them — and in doing so, delivers a second season that’s even more delectable than the first.

Intense episode! I took a break after that episode and then finished the rest of the series on my second day of watching. I don't want to spoil any of the guest stars for anyone here (I'm new here, don't know how it works yet, and not trying to get kicked out) but they were acting the hell out of those scenes. Everything and everyone on this show executes at such a high level.
