    1. The Bear S5 review, [5/5] ‘Every second counts in this carefully crafted masterpiece of a fifth and final season, featuring outstanding performances and nuanced, pertinent writing that speaks to the human condition in a way that transcends the subject matter.’
    2. Shows that drastically change/improve after Season 1
    3. If you're looking for an outstanding mini series then I can't recommend Escape at Dannemora enough. Outstanding direction from Ben Stiller and powerhouse performances from Patricia Arquette, Paul Dano and Benecio Del Toro.
