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.

I thought that season 3 had already started badly with episode 1 but this episode was like watching TV on fast forward whilst on cocaine or speed. If was way too aggressive and there is no need for a portrayal of a "love of food" ... nobody takes food THAT serious....the directors / producers have gone WAY too far. I mean think about it.... if this was to happen in reality SOMEONE would have called timeout on the ridiculous conversation or at least walked away. And there's noooo need for the repeat of the words "FxxK YOU" so many times (that particular part of the script got boring)... I turned it off as my heart was racing. Think you've lost a viewer of the Bear which was once amazing.....

I loved the first two seasons. Easily 8 to 10 stars for every ep in those first two seasons. This is terrible. No storyline left. No plot left. Repetitive. Oh my it is bad. It Went absolutely nowhere. I can only think the initial reviews coming in here are from people who haven't watched it or have been paid. It is utter rubbish and it's a real shame as I was looking forward to it so much. Still good acting however the lack of story and going nowhere obliterated any good acting and film work. Another disaster of a show after a couple of seasons. I have now watch the second and third ep as I thought I would be patient in the hope that was just a bad start. Nope. I could not believe it. Second and third ep are much the same but just add lots of pointless stupid fighting in and that's it. I get it. They cook food and fight. But it went nowhere else.

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...

After finding the first episode to be slightly underwhelming, this second episode jumped us right back into typical The Bear pace. And speaking of the first episode, this second episode gave me a better appreciation for previous one because it piggybacks really nicely on what we saw from the first one to logically set up the conflict for this episode.

And having the whole duration of the episode be about this conflict and all of the important characters dealing with it in real time in the same location is the absolute right decision and is in my opinion the strong suit of this show (as seen in S1E7, S2E10, among others). And it goes without saying that the acting and dialogue were stellar as usual and I was completely blown away when the credits started rolling because I couldn't believe 27 minutes had gone by so quickly.
