Two friends, Richard ‘Richie’ Jerimovich and Michael ‘Mikey’ Berzatto, go on a work trip to Gary, Indiana in this flashback episode of FX’s “The Bear.” Taking place before Carmen ‘Carmy’ Berzatto must leave the fine dining world to help save his family’s Chicago sandwich shop and its strong-willed kitchen staff in the wake of his brother’s tragic suicide, not to mention having to navigate his strained familial relationships while balancing the soul-crushing realities of small business ownership, this episode offers an intimate look at the friendship between Richie and Mikey and sheds light on one of their lifechanging adventures.

This is worth watching for fans of great acting as well as anyone who wants to see how to make a short film engaging, beautiful, emotional, and completely engrossing. Go to Full Review Jean Henegan Pop Culture Maniacs 1d

I have been disappointed with The Bear over the last couple of seasons, but this episode? This was The Bear at its best. Go to Full Review Giovanni Lago Next Best Picture 1d
8/10
It also serves as a reminder that Bernthal and Moss-Bachrach are performers cut from the same cloth. When two actors understand their characters this deeply and clearly love showing up to work alongside one another, it radiates off the screen. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Heidi B @RT80242864 6h Beautiful piece of writing and acting. See more Andrew S. @AndrewScott 9h Love The Bear but this was self indulgent posturing by a couple of good actors given too much rope and they hung themselves. See more Keith B @RT80012575 10h It’s really boring and terribly written. See more jules T. @RT46452152 23h the best ep of the bear since forks <3 See more odgy1986 T @Odgy1986 1d This came out of left field! And it was Fucken Brilliant! Why did we not get this sooner! make me want more of Ebon and John. Their dynamic and chemistry is amazing they were brilliant in the Punisher show and they were BRILLIANT in this. Hats off to Disney and Hulu on this special. GIVE ME MORE! See more Lisa G @RT42601250 1d Moved slow at first but as I continued I knew what was being developed here.. the tormented soul and later tragic demise of Mikey. The cousins are raw to the bone and uncomfortable to watch due to scalding reality of real life and mental instability. If you don't like watching about real life struggles and mental health issues, this is not the show for you. See more Read all reviews
