The Bear Season 5 - Does Carmy Get a Happy Ending or Is That Not the Point

[Sam92]

The Bear returns for Season 5 and the question is how it ends for Carmy and whether The Bear finally turns a profit. The show has been one of the defining television experiences of recent years, relentlessly stressful in ways that split audiences between people who find it too intense to watch and people who find the intensity the entire point.

What do you want from Season 5 and what do you think the show is actually going to give you?

[alwaysPatrick19]

I want Carmy to be okay and I know that wanting that probably means I have missed the point of the show somewhat

[Andy92]

The show has always been about people who cannot stop doing the thing that damages them because the thing they love is inseparable from the damage. A clean resolution would betray that

[Ellie_28]

The restaurant turning a profit would actually be interesting because it would force the show to find different tension rather than financial precarity

[Stu87]

I think Richie gets the more satisfying arc this season based on where Season 4 left him

[202694]

The cooking sequences in this show are some of the best television of the decade and I watch partly for those regardless of the emotional arc

[WWFGareth98]

Whatever happens I think Jeremy Allen White has delivered a performance that will be talked about for a long time

[QuantumOracle45]

Have I been on another planet? I've not even seen season one
