Doors

Four episodes in and I'm not sure I can watch another. Dull, it is so dull.

Nothing has really happened and so far it seems that all the budget has been spent on making the series look good rather than on decent story writing.

My partner and I love The Bear and the actors are brilliant but this has to be one of the most boring series I've ever seen which is unfortunate.

I'm hoping it picks up and this is all leading to a bigger storyline, but so far, the whole thing is just drama, shouting, flashbacks, more shouting, fall outs, more shouting and then the credits roll. (Same as the last series, but with no actual story so far) It isn't terrible, and is put together really well, but how anyone can give this a 10/10 is beyond me.

This episode is incredible. The music works in perfect harmony with the building tension and frustration of everyone in The Bear. Each part of the team is getting more and more exasperated with Carmy, who is clearly suffering and has gone cold turkey on the coping mechanisms he had in the last two seasons (smoking, going to AA, Claire). The comedic elements are refreshing and understated, though they do little to dissipate the rising dread created by the multiple montages of the more rock solid members of the team messing up. Every second, every shot, every vignette and audio cue are building the tension and signaling how precipitous the fallout will be. I haven't finished the season yet but I'm very excited to see how this will pay off.

On a side note, the latent/nagging intrusive thoughts (depicted as quick flashes, not always connected to the scene directly) is one of the more accurate visual representations of how my PTSD has manifested. I really applaud the entire team on The Bear- definitely hard to watch at times but for all the right reasons!!

It's hard watching a plane crash.

He's become a psychopath overnight because he got locked in the fridge.

Look, he's had a terrible childhood with an insane family and is a mess, but for 3 seasons he was ALSO a good guy who we wanted to see win. He's no longer a good guy and i Wouldn't mind if he fails - because he's being an idiot.

It's hard the way they film it in hellish smash cuts of destruction of this restaurant that we all care about. We're watching Carm ruin all of it due to emotional immaturity. That's hard to witness!

And it's also a bit sad no one can rein him in. The writers have made the financers and everyone around him just endlessly yelling. Why can't Unc or the sister just take his CC away??? Because the writers want the drahmah

Fair enough but I fast forwarded through the entire episode and still Know everything that happened.

For me the first 2 episodes of this season fell flat. I thought the first 2 seasons were great. However once we got past the title card of this episode it has picked up into what I know is the 'The Bear' a fast paced intense show. I loved the way it was quick. I think Carmy needs to take a break . He is just annoying.

Overall 7.7/10

This episode really captures just how it feels to run a restaurant and the stress and pressure of it, cause each and every day has to be perfect and flawless, while still making it a bussiness where you get some profit in the end!

Season 2 was all about them getting their restaurant, their dream! Now we get to see what It means to not only keep their dream, but if it is possible to make it better!

This episode is intense at times and very stressfull, and you really get the sense of it is when your head has to deal with a hundred different things all at once and the fact that you dont have time to make any mistakes! Its one of those episodes that will leave you overwhelmed ar the end!

While there is not much plot development the episode does establish a potential threat.. that they might not have enough money to keep it open forever!

OH and Marcus eulogy at the beginning! Beautifull emotional stuff! How it feels like when someone really sees you for what you are!
