9.4/10
I honestly didn't think that season 2 of the bear would be nearly as good as the previous season but clearly I was wrong. Its even better. Each character's problems and inner conflicts get explored much further in this season and I love the depth that it adds to each of them. Richie was the fucking goat this season. His journey towards finding a purpose was actually beautiful to watch and I'm so glad with the direction they decided to take with his character. The episode "Fishes" is a masterpiece and gives insight to how difficult and chaotic the berzattos lives were prior to the first season . Donna is also a great addition to the show as her and Carmy are very similar and it shows a lot throughout the season, especially in the finale. Overall, just a fantastic season of television and I'm looking forward to seeing where the show goes from here.
