Tomorrow

Tomorrow was the perfect start to season 3. The Bear is one of my favorite shows of all time and this episode truly shows that there is nothing like it. This episode is the perfect segway between the chaotic season finale and what I assume will be a chaotic episode 2. This episode really shows us who Carmy is, and the effect that he has on those around him. It manages to show the aftermath of the finale, and all of Carmy's past in a truly beautiful way that helps us see why he is the way he is. It manages to do time jumps in a non confusing way. Usually I get bored out with slow episodes without much dialogue like this one, however this was truly different. This episode is truly actions speak louder than words. The point comes across clearly with the fantastic acting this in this show and the amazing soundtrack behind it. All in all, I could not have asked for a much better opening episode after what was the amazing season 2 finale.

The season 3 premiere of The Bear is off to an excellent start. Subtraction is the name of the game here and The Bear does just that.

With limited dialogue, each word becomes incredibly important. The economy of words here represents each character perfectly.

The eerie yet reflective score is also a standout here. Using synths to support a simple piano melody was a fantastic choice.

As usual, the cinematography and editing bring the episode together quite nicely. There's great framing here and I like how the background seems to always be out of focus. The subject of the frame is quite clear though and this episode really sets a precedent for the rest of the season with a darker tone.

Finally, the subtle facial expressions of each actor and body language really shine. Real talent shows when there's less to work with.

Overall, The Bear's third season is off to a great start.

The Bear Season 3 premier was a stunning episode that shows why this is one of the best shows on television. It's slow paced without much dialogue but beautiful nonetheless. You can tell that this show has a very talented crew of people who genuinely are passionate about it. The music was fantastic, the directing was brilliant, and the acting was subtle but amazing anyway. Overall the premiere was amazing and I can't wait to keep watching. The only reason I give it a 9 instead of a 10 is because it doesn't show the plot of the season or progress it in anyway. But I'm confident the plot will kick in next episode and the season will surpass the other two.

A mesmerizing 30 minutes of television, The Bear Season 3 starts off with a patient yet contemplative episode. The pacing is methodical and trancelike, yet each frame is deeply purposeful. Much like a well-composed musical score, this episode helplessly immerses you and serves as both a reflection of Carmy's previous culinary experiences and a necessary recovery from the intense ending of last season. I suspect many will find this a rather boring premiere, but I believe the show has earned this type of episode. So much of why I love The Bear is its ability to balance the emotional scales. For all of the intensity, there is an equal and opposite sense of tranquility -- embodied primarily by the meticulous and deliberate patterns of cooking expressed through a mature cinematic lens. So much is conveyed with so little, and that is the beauty of this episode. How do you do better? You subtract. Thank you to all who worked on this opening episode; your passion and authenticity are not taken for granted.

Wow. I don't know why (deep down I do know why) but this episode hit me like a train. I sobbed like a little kid. This season premiere beautifuly passes all the right emotions. Spot on acting, captivating music. It is also a great recap of Carmy's journey. A rather silent but powerful episode that is beautifuly curated. Every shot, every moment is throughly tought upon. Not one moment goes in vain. A showcase episode on all the right things about The Bear: excellent acting, great music, beautifully shot moments. It is also quite intense. Keep up the good work. Haven't seen the full season but as of this moment it is in my top 3 episodes of the show.
