I’ve been reviewing movies and TV on the internet for 15 years. I host podcasts like Decoding TV and The Filmcast. Check out my newsletter: www.Decodingeverything.com

THE BEAR Season 5 (streaming on Hulu): For most of seasons 3-5, this show has not only been in love w/ the smell of its own farts, but also trapped in a plot purgatory, unwilling to move its story along or change core dynamics. I felt like S5 was more of the same, despite its very cool premise (mostly taking place over the course of one day)… But then we get to the climax & the emotional haymakers this show lands still completely ruined me. And I am forced to admit: you still got it, The Bear.
