I couldn't agree with you more! One of the top most PHENOMENAL🙌 performances by an Actor, in a TV series 📺

[@Kerunou]

Amazing on his new show too. He was always my favorite on Shameless and to have his own vehicle now where he gets to do his own thing, it’s great. I was thrilled to hear The Bear was a success and I think the future is wide open for Jeremy.

[@andrewlockwood6102]

Man, the stress, the tension, the drama of that kitchen in The Bear is just insane! I felt like I was holding my breath for the entirety of the first episode.

Anyone else feel like they were going to get a panic attack watching The Bear?! So, good. Each episode was like a damn roller coaster. The episode with the punch at the kid's party! Damn! That was insane!

The sauce in the walk in spilling because she was too stubborn to ask for help gave me so many restaurant flashbacks! And then the coworker with the massive wad of bar towels! Somehow that was so heartwarming to me. Good times

Yes! If you have traumas / panic attack you will get triggered

Being a restaurant head and I was an expo for years. The Bear NAILS IT.

[@brainoftor]

honestly one of the most amazing shows I've seen in soooo long. Okay so listen. I use to work in the industry in Chicago and it could not capture that anxiety and that pride and that brilliant, perfect moments of beautiful chaos. The cast in totality is EPIC. They are the most talented, most thoughtfully cast group of individuals. I have and will continue to rewatch this show. Stoked to get back to Chi this fall and EAT EVERYTHING. I'm inspired af and i'm so grateful for this

Same. Him, Ian and Carl.

Sameee 😭 Carl is a little douche til he gets older but I love Ethan kutcowski or whatever his name is so I love watching him. and Sammi turns awful. I LOVEEE Sheila but she left in season 5. Lip was the only reason I stayed lol LOVE him! Ian, debbie and Fiona get on my nerves. I start to love mickey but hated him the first season or 2. Frank is a great actor I love him, and kev.
