The season 2 finale of the acclaimed Hulu series The Bear set a notable record that rivals an instant classic from Martin Scorsese.

The Bear season 3 is one of the most anticipated new seasons on television although the earliest it would release is likely sometime in 2025.
The Bear is celebrated for its realistic depiction of not only a group of passionate and often conflicting chefs but also a gritty insider look into the lingering effects of developmental and emotional trauma.

The Bear: All 18 Episodes, Ranked From Worst To Best
The Bear has earned the rank of one of television’s most poignant and innovative drama series in just 2 seasons. Here are all 18 episodes, ranked.
The Bear’s Season 2 Finale Uses The F-Word 124 Times In Only 40 Minutes
The Bear’s energized season 2 finale used the F-word 124 times in just a 40-minute runtime, which equates to about 3.1 F-bombs a minute. This doesn’t even include other swear words used throughout the episode, just the F-word and its various derivatives. The most F-bombs in a Martin Scorsese movie is 569 in the 3-hour-long The Wolf of Wall Street, which similarly comes out to an average of 3.1 F-bombs per minute. The Bear being able to match that on television is pretty impressive.
Although there is an excess of swearing and F-bombs in The Bear, particularly in its season 2 finale, it doesn’t distract from the show at all given the nature of the intense dynamics of the behind-the-scenes kitchen environment. Most of the swear words are often mixed into the dialogue for the purpose of displaying the camaraderie between the characters as well as emphasizing the various tasks that the crew has to accomplish throughout the course of the critically acclaimed series.

The Bear’s Constant Swearing Actually Helps Increase Its Accuracy
The high use of profanity in The Bear is also effective in capturing the real-life working environments that are common in actual kitchens. The culture of the food service industry is often portrayed as being one full of adrenaline and stress, which makes the profanity simply a byproduct of the authentic environment. People who work in kitchens have said that the amount of swearing is one of the most accurate parts of The Bear, which will likely be a major component in the eventual highly anticipated third season.
