The Big Stream

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

One of the best parts of last year was getting in on the ground floor of 'The Bear' an truly underdog show that ascended to the top of the streaming mountain. There were all kinds of questions surrounding how they would cook up season two, and we now have some answers. 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.

'Succession' Finale Reaction: Kendall Roy Simply Cannot Win the Big One

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.

Simply Let Connor Roy Be the Ambassador to a Second India

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. Lukas Matsson does some transatlantic crashing because a dad man technically invited him and employs a charm offensive that was more offensive than charming with a crew every bit as deranged as the Roys. 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.
