Brigade

This was an alright episode thst focused a lot on Sydney qnd her relationship with Carmen!

Sydney is very much the new person in qll this! You could say she is us! Green and unexperienced! She very much wants to prove herself and are easily intimidated by those with more experience! She wants to prove that she can be just as good as everyone else and not just prove it to herself, but her surpiriors! This means making mistakes cause you dont want to seem weak, but rather like someone who knows what you are doing!

I also enjoyed the message about staying away from tonic environmrnts! Sometimes you have to look out for yourself too!

When you watch a show its not about entertainment or because you are bored, it's because you are here to watch this persons, in this case this chefs to grown up like a chef but more importantly like a person. This is what makes tv special and unique, you are here for this persons and they are here for you, the bear is the best tv show of 2022 for those special reasons, so next time don't think as watching tv as a waste of time or some way of procrastinating, it's not that, televisión is something else, and can't be replace, have yourself a good night and take care, this is Jhonatan saying goodbay.

Solid all around.

It didn't start off as strong as the first couple of episodes, but I must admit the Al-anon stuff and the last scene shared between Carmy and Sydney elevated it for me. And the onions gag as well.

A lot of this episode really is just people cooking and discussing food amongst each other, and it's more entertaining than one would think just going off of that. There's just enough character nuance and development to keep the pace up and the story interesting. It's hard to look away from the actors. They're all very, very good.

This episode also had some sweeter, gentle moments that I loved. I can see why this isn't for everyone, but I'm having a great time so far.

Well, this is frustrating. After Ep 2 had me convinced I was watching something brilliant, "Brigade" has left me scratching my head and wondering if I spoke too soon.

The episode feels scattered, jumping between storylines without giving any of them proper attention. We get glimpses of Carmen's fine dining background, some half-hearted attempts at team building, and various kitchen mishaps that don't seem to connect to anything meaningful. It's like watching a chef try to plate five different dishes at once - nothing gets the focus it deserves.

The pacing that worked so well in Ep 2 now feels frantic rather than purposeful. Characters are shouting past each other rather than having conversations, and the workplace dynamics that seemed authentic before now feel forced and repetitive.

Jeremy Allen White is still doing solid work, but even his performance can't hold together an episode that seems unsure what story it's trying to tell. The supporting cast feels wasted here, particularly when they're stuck delivering exposition rather than genuine moments.

I'm still curious enough to continue, but my enthusiasm has definitely cooled. Hopefully this is just a wobble...

6.5/10.

Great episode with new character development. Very funny and freaking Molly Ringwald!!! How is she not listed as a character? Great actors and actresses. Fire episode.
