We’re late to season two of The Bear. It’s a fantastic show we’ve loved since season one. You can find it on Hulu. I highly recommend you do. We finally tuned in this week and we’re damn glad we did, mad we waited so long, and wishing this show would never end.
The writing, the acting and the direction are top notch. Some of the best TV you’ll discover and more than worth your time. At times a little too much in your face for my tastes, but I get it and it more than makes sense. If you haven’t discovered the show yet, do start with season one and allow yourself the pleasure of that before diving into season two.
No spoilers here, but let me just say this. The Christmas episode, Fishes, is without question one of the most amazing pieces of TV I think I’ve ever seen. there is more tension and comedy crammed into each moment that it makes the overstuffed and crowded kitchen seem spacious. The story telling is unreal good given the large ensemble cast. And the ensemble playing amongst a bevy of heavyweight guest stars is just mesmerizing. It’s difficult to find the words to describe Jamie Lee Curtis’s performance. It will blow you away. Mix that in with the powerful ensemble playing of the rest of the cast, the level of detail, and this is a gift of bounty for any season.
Just see it. See it all.
Life on the Wicked Stage: Act 3 
I was a latecomer to this series too, but have now caught up. No spoiler, but you will see Jamie Lee Curtis again this season. The Guest Actor and Actress in a Comedy category at the Emmys will be packed next year; I have a hunch it will come down to Curtis and Meryl Streep, who has apparently been knocking it dead in Only Murders in the Building. An embarrassment of riches!
