Whether or not you like the show, the writers’ strike probably means a third season, if it happens, is a long way off.

The fishes episode I just had to fast forward through. So tedious.
Also unoriginal. An abusive narcissistic mother. Haven’t seen that before…

I feel like all of season 2 is them exploring people's backstories no?
Yes, this is what made season 2 so strong imo.
You got a little of Carmen, Natalie, and Ritchie. Less so Sydney. Barely scratched the surface of Marcus, Tina, Ebraheim, and Neil. I found it dissatisfying.
I thought the Marcus in Copenhagen episode was great. Sydney is the least interesting character unfortunately, and we got lots on her last season.

YES the second season is better. I liked the first season but i LOVE the second.
Thanks! I'll give it a shot.
No you won’t like it. It’s chaos. Dialogue on top of dialogue.
If you don’t like that style you won’t like s2
Op - agree that the style is the same but it is better with deeper storytelling and some of the episodes are f-ing SO good.
My favorite so far is the one about Cuzin. Tho Jamie Lee Curtis must win an Emmy for her one.
I thought season one was ok but season two is amazing
Do you mean Richie? He is Carmie’s cousin. Hence, they call each other “cousin.”

Nearing the end of season 2 and honestly if there was a s2 episode of the bear in my life every day I would be so so happy

I find the show stressful to watch but find it fascinating to see the chaos of working in a restaurant.

You are not alone
The ending was so bad and so cheesy to season 1. Like seriously cheating the audience bad.
