The Bear (FX on Hulu) TV Show • Page 71

would watch

 

I am at the beginning of season two. They are building a new restaurant and the baker is training elsewhere.

 

Excited for your thoughts as you continue.

 

Something that is interesting so far, and something a lot of other shows have to contend with as well, is how it is trying to balance the drama of the conventional plot versus the interpersonal dynamics of the characters. A lot of the opposition to Sydney felt very traditional; the veteran cooks, maybe not the best trained or talented but having been there so long, feeling slighted by having to report to a younger manager with training. That seems to have mostly faded away now, especially what seemed to be a central conflict between Sydney and Tina. A similar dynamic seemed to be there between Carmy and Richie, but they are yelling at each other a lot less recently.

Neil is fun comic relief, but he looks like he stepped in from another show sometimes. It is like the character knows he is being kept around to add sillier moments to break up the tension.

Marcus is probably the standout character. He has this softness and weariness to him that is really in contrast to what many people would expect from him. He is almost childlike in his awe at some of what he is being taught, but it comes from a true desire to make something of himself.

Any time I watch shows or movies about culinary arts or food I am surprised how overall unappetizing the food looks. When Marcus is being taught how to make the desserts I thought how much easier it would be to just go buy a box of Entenmann's.

 

Finished season three about a month ago. Good, but it also felt a clear step below the first two and definitely incomplete.

I also got sick of the Fak’s. The John Cena episode felt pretty aimless.

 

It took season two of this and his part in Andor to finally break the association for me.

 

I very rarely associate actors with their roles, but I wanted Ray and Marnie to end up together and he kept poisoning everything.

 

Well deserved for a guy that has put in the work for so many years!!

Oh she's a Grammy and a Tony away from being an EGOT now

 

He won for Guest Actor not for Best Actor. JLC also won for Guest Actress in a comedy for the same episode.

The Bear also won for Casting, Editing, Sound Editing, and Sound Mixing,

 

Forks also won for best cinematography for a half hour single camera series

 

lol

 

Okay yeah but that episode does have a lot of funny stuff in it too

 

The end of the second season is really beautiful. No matter how much we try to bury those things that are hurting us, they are always bubbling under the surface. The surrogate family of a workplace is a fascinating issue; we didn't choose the people who surround us, we often spend more time with them than with friends and family, and they see us at our worst and most animalistic at times. It also highlights the best of us; we learn to get along with people so different than our bubble.

 

Probably very telling for the fine dining industry that this dude basically justifies Joel McHale's character's behavior .

 

The first episode of season three is a product of streaming. Other than maybe HBO you could never get away with something like that in network television.

 

it isn't streaming so much as it is the binge model. they wouldn't do it that way, or at least it wouldn't be the premiere, if you had to wait a year for it and then wait until the next week

 

Ebon wins Supporting actor in a comedy Emmy

 

JAW wins leading actor in a comedy

 

Liza wins for supporting actress in a comedy!!

 

Look l loved her performance and I’m happy for her, but it was for one episode. Hannah Einbinder should have won.

 

All of these are for s2 of the bear, so it wasn’t even that episode, which makes it even wilder. Love her though!

 

Damn, I forgot lol. My point still stands.

 

c'mon Ayo!
