Groundhogs

Finally a new season of the bear I got really high hopes for this season I hope it doesnt disappoint, I have a good feeling it wont. Last season was alright but a bit more on the slow side and mostly just felt like a build up for this... season 4. This was a great start to the new season. We start off with a scene of carmy and his brother a real emotional conversation. Carmine and Michael are to me one of the most interesting aspects of this show. Im glad we started off the season with them. Hope to learn more about Michael cant wait to binge watch the rest of this season and interested in what it has to offer.

The show's writers LITERALLY introduced a ticking clock. A bit dramatic but I'm okay with it. After a filler season last year I'm coming in feeling like the critics of the bear itself.. a little underwhelmed. So I'm hoping the second half they filmed when they shot these seasons back to back is a little better. Beyond that, great seeing the fam again, even if some of the troupe and character dynamics and traits are a little bit too familiar at this point.

Uncle Jimmy isn't taking anymore 💩 and is really laying down the law. I kinda love it because for a guy who apparently is also a criminal, he can be a big softie sometimes. Let's dive into ep 2. Now.. I'm hopeful and excited.

After season 3, I really wanted this first episode to hook me in, and I think it suceeded in capturing my interest and I wanted to see where it goes from here, which I think is a good thing!

The episode starts off strong with a great scene between Carmen and Micheal! We don't get many scenes to understand the relationship between these two, and this one also gives us carmens core passion and reason for opening a restaurant!

The clock was an excellent way to add a goal and purpose to the overall story! A sense of urgency which I think was lacking in season 3! Season 2 had the opening of the restaurant.. now we got if they get too keep the restaurant!

The cinematography is still excellent! Shot and directed very well!

So yeah.. I am excited for this season!

So it starts off with yet another pointless conversation from the past. It completelt bears no relevance to the future or the present time in the series.

In fact, it only confuses the viewer, as again evidenced by the scene in the train car. What was the point of that?

You have contradictory dialogue and actions in the next scene.... right until the end of the episode. Nothing that happened seemed to matter, other than they hired some help that they can't afford so, again, doesn't make sense.

This is a show about choas and delusions. All the characters are faking it. There are no believable performances therein.

Hoping to God this actually is the final season. They should have kept it cancelled after season 2, why did they bring it back? The world needed more aimless and directionless programming? Like we don't have enough garbage as it is.

Pitiful episode to start a season. I see a bunch of clueless imbeciles rating this a ten. God only knows what kind of difficiencies people have where they can't see how awful this show is.

It truly is the most overrated show on television. Disney drags this crap out of the gutter and shines their pieve of crap up real nice for you.

This makes me not want to watch, just like all of season 3. But i'm invested. I like Jon Bernthall and used to like J. A. White, but this show has made me lose so much respect and appreciation for him.

Talk about failing upward. Huh, that should have been the name of this show. Completely inbelievable. Pointless dialogue. Headache enducing montages set to backdrops of music to literally set the tone becausd this show has no soul. It is aimless and directionless and is a convoluted mess of a disaster.

Its just plain bad. 5/10 and that's for Zeppelin and Groundhog Day, and the necessary jab at d-bag millenials. The irony of course its those same d-bad millenials that make this show successful. Absolute imbeciles.

This show isn't unapologetic. Its a mess. A shiny mess for you to enjoy while the folks at disney, unapologetically say: "we don't need to try any harder".

THIS, is the crap you think is a "10". Who writes these reviews???

A more than generous 5/10 one of the worst season premiers i've ever seen in my life.

The Bear has truly fallen off from a writing standpoint. The characters haven't had any development for the most part since the season 2 finale. Looking back on my favorite episodes in the show, rarely ever is Chris Storer the main writer for them.

I am very bored of seeing the same conversations "oh the restaurant is closing" "oh Carmy is a jerk" with useless flashbacks. The season 3 cliffhanger also proved useless to the plot. What is the point of this show anymore?

It just lacks any sort of plot advancement whatsoever. The entirety of season 3 was the characters saying "so, the season 2 finale happened!". It's very sad to see it turn down such a boring path.
