An excuse to add: The Bear Season 2 was one of my favorite seasons of television EVER. If it tickles your fancy even a little, do yourself a favor and watch it.
They're a perfect 1-2 punch. One just breaks you down (I did NOT expect that--longest-feeling hour of television I can recall). Followed by the balm of Forks, which you've fucking earned.
This was me, exactly. I had predicted they couldn't do it again, but they really knocked it out of the park. Now, again, I don't see how they keep it going a third time at that level. I would love to be proven wrong again, but how?
I paused after the fishes episode and didn't go back for a good bit. I went back and finished earlier this week and it was well worth it. The last few episodes are awesome
