If you’ve never seen The Bear, this episode is PHENOMENAL. Easily a top 5 TV performance from everybody in it but especially Jamie Lee Curtis. I don’t know if I have ever felt tension like this from a TV show ever before.

Snapshots of Curtis’ face from the episode "Fishes". The caption read "There are guest cameos that I'll leave a surprise, but I must cite the thunderous tour de force delivered by Jamie Lee Curtis as Carm's mentally-challenged mother. If there's any justice, Curtis will have an Emmy to bookend the Oscar she just won for&10;"Everything Everywhere All at Once."
The other day at D23, while doing press, a young man working tech in one of the tents stopped me as I was being hustled out and around to say that The Bear's FISHES broke open in him a reservoir of years long tension with his mother that now, because of that episode, is an open communication again between them. THAT, is the POWER of the filmed medium! A post shared by Jamie Lee Curtis (@jamieleecurtis)
