I may now have hope for humanity
I've cried more to this season of The Bear than any other movie or show I can remember and I'm not a crier. Once again the restaurant scenes are realistic and more than anything a restaurant is made of people. You spot talent and nourish it. Often they don't even know what their real talents are. I've been there to see transformations and sometimes it was something simple and sometimes it took a village but always a person is made of moments where another is open to them.
"Forks" in just 35 minutes shows this journey which often takes months, even years, without cliché as I can verify having many nearly identical myself and we realize it's not about making the person useful to us, it's about setting the stage where there talents can shine for anyone to see, especially themselves.
Restaurants are often the forge where this can happen if a master is present. We get to see all that is wonderful about Richie. And we also get to know why he has been there all this time, why the Chef, the Bear, kept him there: he is and has been essential to the mission.
The writers and makers and actors and everyone else that makes this show work did what often can't be explained to others in just 35 minutes. I've waited far longer for a meal unworthy of the wait. This was as nearly perfect as humans get.
If you don't get it, start your life over or take a break and go beg for a job as many times as it takes at a restaurant and hope there are artists and maybe a master around.
