good television

We are back

#

seasons 3 and 4 is like a forced double album

#

should've been just one

sage trench
#

I do believe that was the initial plan

#

Just firing up season 2, but man, r/television at the least seems to have it out for the show.

#

Are people that didn't like seaosn 3 saying they like this season now?

#

The adage right now is it’s a step up over season 3

solid jolt
#

quite a small step

sage trench
#

With a lot of debate over whether season 3 was just disappointing or flat out terrible, which
..no, it’s was by no means terrible

solid jolt
#

they put much melodrama in these seasons compared to S1 and 2

#

and they really feel like they're in the way of us seeing how the restaurant's developing under the stress of closing down

solid jolt
#

probably wouldve been received better in retrospect if the gap was smaller

#

less bitterness from the fans who felt like they were withheld something

#

Is there more Jon Bernthal flashbacks?

#

||Very first scene||

#

The Bear is good again

#

Carmy is finally growing

#

FUCK YOU. GENUINELY FUCK YOU!!!

#

I get they wanted to do a season focused on character growth, but I need a little plot momentum to go with that. It's boring when you're back on square one at the end

#

Too much overly sappy moments, I need some excitement to go with it. This isn't the right balance

#

I enjoyed this season. Some incredible episodes with fantastic performances

Nice seeing Rob Reiner still doing his thing. Seems a little business oriented this season but I'm happy seeing my fav restaurant again.

Finished Season 4 of The Bear and much better than season 3. The addition of past characters like ||Jessica and the team plus Luca was great||. We also see Carmy ||reconcile with his mom and maybe with Claire?? ||. I was surprised at the end when ||Carmy decided to retire and gave the restaurent to Syd, Nat and Ritchie but I guess he's had enough||. The performances were great all around. Episode 7 which is over a hour long was amazing.

I think we would need at least one season to finish the show as ||the Restaurent still needs saving and I think Carmy would do that before giving it to Syd and others||

its worrisome we havent got a season renewal announcement

#

id take maybe a finale movie from them but i dont think the show is that big

humble yacht
#

It's still early but I will be so bummed if the bear won't be renewed.. make season 5 the final season. I don't think we will get a movie though.

#

No chance for a movie and i think a final season will be made to resolve all things.

s5 is definitely the last

#

10 episodes is fine for me esp with the length of the show.

#

It’s become arthouse arthouse over its four seasons

#

But it’s definitely not a plot show now

#

The vibes and smalltalk are the show now lol

#

Will Poulter.... His arm lean, the smile, and those eyebrows

#

I'm SO gone

gaunt yoke
sage trench
#

surely that'll be the send off, no?

#

It doesn't seem like a show that should be made to go and go and go

gaunt yoke
#

I feel if it was the last they wouldve announced it as the fifth and final season

#

So maybe 6

plain plinth
#

S4 is about them healing

#

S5 has to be them getting the star

#

Succession announced it slightly later iirc?

gaunt yoke
#

But id argue that is a rare exception

#

That’s very much Jesse’s show

humble yacht
#

Glad the show was renewed, it didn't say final season though so maybe we will get more??

#

Also, it says next season is coming in 2026. Love the fact that The Bear is one of those shows that comes out each year.

#

I just want to say upon reflection Brie Larson was hysterical as Francie Fak in her single appearance

sage trench
#

They def handled her incorporation better than they did with John Cena last season. I didn't hate him in the show but it did feel he just rolled in and was all over everyone's shit as if he'd been there from the get go. Francie was alluded to leading up to her appearance whereas (I don't think anyway) Sammy Fak was brought up till that episode

#

This season also does feel like they blurred the comedy/drama lines even further so I'm expecting another annoying round of people pretending to care about supposed Emmy "category fraud" lol

proper pike
#

Season 3 still had its issues but I think season 4 though it hasn’t topped the first 2 seasons managed to put the show on a good course and hopefully they finish with a Slam dunk in season 5

sage trench
#

I think the backlash to season 3 wouldn't have been so substantial had they did the back to back thing that was initially planned and clearly intended to do

#

cause it did seem like alot of the negative reception was stemming from impatience tbh

#

"oh Carmy isn't growing, we're just dicking around" but like, we're clearly going to see him grow

#

if you wanna use cooking terminology, the season 2 finale was a massive boil over on the pot, season 3 was the reduction to simmer. Now it feels we're up to medium heat

Let it fight in drama where it belongs

#

sorry to seem flippant, I just don't really care about who wins or doesn't win an award. People either agree with the win or don't agree with it regardless, the award doesn't dictate the quality of a show to me. Besides, when you have Better Call Saul go home empty handed its entire run I tend to stop really valuing you as an award body lol

Girl that’s too long a paragraph for “idc”

sage trench
#

I mean, was largely just wanting to parse my indifference so as to not just have my use of that gif seem like i'm being a dick for being a dicks sake

proper pike
#

I think season 3 deserves a lil more credit it does has some really great episodes imo

sage trench
#

Yeah given the finale fifth seasons gotta be the last one surely

warm timber
#

Probably

#

They didn't say it was the final season though but it might be

#

Long shot theory: I think Richie and Syd are gonna get together

sage trench
#

One things apparent to me, there isn’t a romance between Syd and Carm despite what I’ve been seeing social media claim

#

It’s genuinely the most read into thing I’ve ever seen

acoustic timber
sage trench
#

It’s like they’re conflating their characters having parallels to one another as being romantic chemistry
