"The Bear" Is Finally Back For Season 2, So Here Are 31 Of The Best Reactions To Everything That Happened

    The Bear Season 2 is finally here, and it's arguably equal to (if not better) than Season 1 as the show dives deeper into every character and delivers two perfect TV episodes back-to-back.

    🚨 There are obviously MASSIVE spoilers ahead for The Bear Season 2! 🚨

    The Bear finally returned for Season 2 after an award-worthy first season, and honestly, this season was somehow equal to (if not better than) Season 1.

    Created by Christopher Storer, this new season picked up with Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), Syd (Ayo Edebiri), and the rest of The Beef staff preparing to open the new restaurant. With only a few months to get the restaurant up and running, tensions run high as everyone bands together to make The Bear the very best it can be.

    This season also dove deeper into more of the characters, which made for some of the best TV episodes of 2023. For starters, we got an episode following the Brazattos on Christmas five years ago that included SO MANY brilliant guest stars and performances.

    Richie, Carmy, Sugar, and Jon Bernthal who plays Mikey standing around during the family Christmas dinner. Jamie Lee Curtis, Olivia Colman and John Mulaney make guest appearances as members of the Berzatto family

    And then, the episode titled "Forks" — which followed Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as he works at a three-star Michelin restaurant as part of his training — was a masterclass in writing, acting, and more.

    Someone get Ebon an Emmy Award, please and thank you.

    In the end, the whole season culminates in friends and family night at the new restaurant, where chaos ensues, all while Jeremy and Ayo deliver award-worthy performances once again. Literally, it made me wish Season 3 was available, like, right now.

    It was a roller coaster of a season from start to finish, so to express all of their feelings for Season 2, fans — like me — took to Twitter to make some A+ commentary, memes, and more. Here's a look at some of the best tweets about The Bear Season 2:

    Is The Bear a straight comedy? No. Is this one of the funniest scenes of the year? Absolutely. Super-tight writing/timing and insane cast chemistry. Not a single beat is missed. Ayo Edebiri’s finest comedic moment of the season, and Abby Elliott is everything. pic.twitter.com/A6bomda2qM
