This show is unique and very Well done and also Unusual format.

Some times nothing happens for a while, huge long shots with music of just montage or scenery, and then Way too much happens at a very high volume. That's cool.

However, Bear just went insane over one episode. Ok...it happens in life too, I just hope the creators, in an effort to make each season MORE!!!! Just simply continue tell us about these peoples lives.

The fights between Richie and carm Are super super annoying!

I mean, I don't really want to watch a show with an A hole for a lead who continually makes a ton of dumb mistakes because he's emotionally regarded.

Im afraid they will jump the shark trying to create DRAMA!!

Ugh.

An episode of three Emmy nominated actors trying really hard to get another Emmy nomination is all I saw. Hot take, but nobody has range in this episode. It's literally the exact same act over and over and over again. It's not the writing's fault, they just need to simmer to a level 4 instead of a level 9 in every scene. Screaming and yelling isn't impressive; in fact, saying your lines with enough drama WITHOUT raising your voice is MORE impressive. It felt like they took maybe 2-3 takes in each scene and just called it a day. Again, no range. Unimpressed, bored, and thoroughly disappointed...

Season 3, episode 2 of *The Bear*, titled "Next," leans heavily into chaotic dialogue and overwhelming tension. The non-stop shouting, especially between Carmy and Richie, becomes insufferable as they argue over the restaurant's direction, filled with Carmy's abstract "non-negotiables" like "vibrant collaboration" and "push boundaries." The dialogue is drenched in expletives, turning many scenes into exhausting verbal assaults. This constant high-stress environment feels excessive to the point of frustration. I watch television to be engaged, entertained an/or to relax; this just stresses me out. Horrible character development. I give up on The Bear.

If the premiere was just a reflection and prologue (AND an epilogue?), then this is the premiere people were probably actually expecting.

It feels good to be back. I love how natural and realistic all of the dialogue and acting is. Writing and acting out stuff like this probably takes forever to get right! Reminds me a bit of Uncut Gems in terms of pacing and dialogue and screaming, ha! I do genuinely love Carmy. He's screwed up quite a bit and hectic and rude, but he still TRIES to make time for what's important and who is important, even if it doesn't always work.

It was also just very funny. I was laughing throughout the episode. I don't personally feel like the series has outstayed its welcome and I'm very much so looking forward to more.

Also, the manic pacing seems to be coming back. This one started off pretty quiet and then got progressively louder and more crude as it went on in typical Bear fashion.

So far so good!

After a horrible first episode, the bear and it's cast totally redeemed itself with this absolutely hilarious episode...The bantering and conversation in this episode was amazing, some fantastic performances here. After the first episode I was worried the show had lost what made it so fantastic, yet the whole cast, direction and writing is phenomenal in this episode..The compassion Carmen trys to show Marcus speaks volumes for how difficult it is for Carmen to connect with others, as he is always trying to internalize his emotions...just can't say enough about how fantastic this episode is in acting and overall production. I fell in love with the show all over again. I hope this formula continues as I progress in this season..a 10/10 for me just fantastic.
