talvez unpopular opinion, pois sinto que ela perdeu um certo prestigio: eu gosto muito de todas temporadas de the bear. acho 1-3 excelentes e a 4 muito boa.

Oh, do people like this show again? I can't keep track anymore. 😂 (I'll probably binge the whole thing once it's over anyway, regardless)

Deze serie is ZO GOED. Misschien vandaag laatste seizoen eens beginnen en lamlendig op de bank hangen zweten.

In some ways, the fifth and final season of The Bear feels less daring — but after four seasons, the small wins mean more. n.pr/4eK84jI

This season is a little slow to start, but by the end of the seven episodes I saw (they didn’t give critics the finale), I was very in love with the show again.

Sports fandom was a mistake6

This is the worst multi-season show where I have seen every wretched episode. I hate it and I hope the restaurant explodes from a gas leak in the final episode.

A lot of people are trying to convince themselves that this show is any good

I’ve seen all of The Bear s5 but the series finale. Thoughts (without spoilers) on whether the show abandoned Very Special Episodes for the home stretch, or just made one really long one: www.whatsalanwatching.com/review-the-b...

Look for my spoiler review tomorrow morning, but I will say that there's a scene in the finale that made me ugly cry, and another that has big "Sir, this is an Arby's" energy that I don't think was intended.

I just started reading this, but I wanted to make sure I said: I think “Forks” is one of the best hours of television I’ve ever watched. And I’m not a young person. It’s a real masterpiece.

"Oliver Garden" is a delightful little typo that snuck into your review, and I have to assume @briancgrubb.bsky.social would love it as a name for a new TV character — perhaps in a limited series telling the history of how Oliver Garden conceived of his almost eponymous restaurant idea.

John Kim1

was that why they released Gary?

Higher Ed (@EdRevelator34)1

not sure if this is embargoed info, but does The Bear season 5 acknowledge Rob Reiner/his character at all?

Jeroen Zimmerman1

So, kinda like The Pitt in terms of structure?

If you've watched the past couple of seasons of "The Bear" and thought, "Too much artsy noodling, not enough forward momentum toward a conclusion," the first seven episodes of the final season of "The Bear" are for you!

THE BEAR closes its doors tonight with a fifth season that strips all (well, most) of the meandering aimlessness of its previous two seasons and locks in on a season-long service that helps steer it back toward greatness. For @ebertvoices.bsky.social: www.rogerebert.com/streaming/th...

There’s one element of THE BEAR finale that didn’t work for me, but most of it was excellent. Smart decision to stick close to the core cast in the last run.

People saying season 5 of The Bear is mediocre. Not surprised. Hollywood writers can’t compete with the absolute, unhinged drama of real-life SCOTUS and the White House

The final season of The Bear is out today. OK, go on then

I have enjoyed writing about The Bear in so many ways over the last few years but the one thing I will not miss is this thing of every character having like five different names

My best guess as to how The Bear ends is that bear from the pilot comes back and eats Carmy.

In its fifth and final season, ‘The Bear’ scales back down to its fundamentals and delivers a satisfying farewell to one of the most electrifying television series of the past decade.

Adopting a PITT-esque structure, #TheBear closes out with a fantastic final season that's more playful and loose though also still wonderfully, humbly profound. Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach are electric. THE BEAR is dead, long live THE BEAR 📺 My review: www.seattletimes.com/entertainmen...
