Next

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.

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've rated the series very highly until now, but the first two episodes of part III are very disappointing. The f count in the second episode was off the graph and in no way a substitute for dialogue. There was only two standout scenes, with Sydney and her Dad at the beginning and Marcus and Carmy at the end. Everything in between was pretentious and over acted. I also struggled with the theme of the first episode and as a fan of the show felt it was over played. The writers have gotten to a point of very well developed characters with substantial back stories, so why they would abandon all of that makes no sense. Now two episodes in, I really hope this is not the direction of travel with this series. But let's see.

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.

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.
