The TVI Take
The second season of The Bear — the team attempts to transform the restaurant. The 'Fishes' Christmas episode is among the greatest single episodes of television.
The season is more formally ambitious than the first. Craft remains at the ceiling. Educational value drops slightly as the kitchen focus expands to family dynamics.
