'The Bear' Is Back and Using a Much Different Recipe

The Big Lead's Kyle Koster and Stephen Douglas discuss the first five episodes, which reveal a much different recipe but some of the familiar beats that made us so hungry for more.

That Was A Good, Hard Take That Ewan Roy Gave Up There
It's Succession's penultimate episode and it's set at Logan Roy's funeral in a gridlocked and tense Manhattan. He's still dead and nothing can get him out of the coffin, no matter how hard Roman would want that. There's an entire pew devoted to wives and mistresses. The future president/dictator is there and everyone wants a piece of him. Hell, everyone is there except trust ol' Tom because he has to work. Breaking down the second-to-last masterpiece this series will ever give us, and how it elevated an all-time great character even higher.

Forty thought leaders, polls, and deranged billionaires gathered for the worst tailgate party a person could ever imagine to wait until they could wait for the election results to come in.

Shiv and Tom's sexting turns into something darker and final. Kendall gives another good speech and has plans to run a Reverse Viking, which sounds illegal. Gerri solidifies her future will be bankrolled by Roman. The Big Lead's Kyle Koster and Stephen Douglas break down the

Kendall Roy is Living+ His Best Life
A Hail Mary effort to juice the Waystar stock price gets tipped around in the end zone before landing in Kendall's hands.
