Why Fans Should Be Excited for The Bear’s Record-Breaking Episode

Initially, this post might appear to simply share the duration of The Bear’s Season 4 for eager viewers. But upon closer inspection, there are intriguing insights that fans can gleam as they prepare for the upcoming episodes.

To be more precise, this data is thrilling as it pertains to the remarkable 69-minute long episode.

Fans of The Bear have grown accustomed to a particular style for the series. Typically, each episode lasts around half an hour, and it maintains a fast-paced rhythm without slowing down until the end credits play.

On occasion, it strays from this pattern, often to present some of its top-tier episodes. For instance, Season 2 Episode 6, which previously held the longest runtime, is frequently praised as one of the best and most suspenseful hours in television history.

If the extended Season 4 episode continues with the show’s usual pattern, viewers should be ready to mark it as a standout when it becomes available on Hulu in due time.

It has been suggested that the longer running time might provide an opportunity for a pivotal scene in the series, namely, the demise of Jon Bernthal’s character, Mikey, to be portrayed on-screen.

In the series, Bernthal’s character has passed away before the events unfolded, but through extensive flashbacks, he continues to significantly impact the storyline. It might be interesting now to delve deeper into his death, potentially enriching the complex and multi-layered motivations of the show’s captivating characters, much like how layers can be found in a traditional Greek spinach pie (spanakopita).
