One of the best episodes I've seen ever, idk how they showcased Carmy's love and hate for cooking and how it has shaped his life in such a minimalistic way, how it has helped him push through while also holding him back, it's insane
Y'all are already halfway through the season on Patreon and you might already know this, but some people have criticized the pacing of the third season, and there's apparently a reason for that. From what I've heard/read, the show's creator wanted to do three seasons and that's it, but FX/Hulu asked him to stretch it out for a fourth season. So basically, the third season got turned into 18 episodes, split over two seasons, hence the kinda slower pace with regard to the main plot this year. (I still absolutely loved this season.)
@@JeffKelly03 season 3 wasn't that good, besides a few very good episodes. Look like season 4 might be great if the writing can maintain quality of the first 2 seasons.
This episode was a visual masterpiece. It was a spectacular showcase of incredible cinematography. The subtle, delicate, yet impactful music was the cherry on top!
This episode was really polarizing for some people. Which I don't really get because I thought it was brilliant. I know some people who hatedddd this episode though.
I was not a fan personally. felt like a glorified clip show. really disliked the "surprise" links between characters pasts that kinda felt shoehorned. I think the goal was to illustrate how connected all of these characters have always been but it feels so cheap and not real to me
@@bananagoomba9103 Hard disagree; all throughout the past two seasons there are nuggets of Carmy's past experiences with learning at the best places and the people. This episode intertwines everything together WITHOUT the show's usual intensity, like a breath before rolling back into the grind.
I thought it was absolutely incredible, personally. I get why some people were thrown off by it. But once I got like 10 minutes in and realized, "Oh, shit... they're actually doing this" I was more in awe of the balls it takes to make an entire episode that's basically just a musical montage.
I don't cook but, this episode caught something. If you've ever done something and just got into the zone, your mind begins to wander. Muscle memory takes over and you start thinking of shit that you haven't thought of in years or you begin to think of stuff you really need to. This episode is a direct reflection of that. You're 100% right, it's pure art.
Honestly, the Cinematography + the soundtrack is like something I’ve never experienced before.. the director and art director should win all the awards…. What a complex and interesting family dynamic, yet SO many people relate… maybe that’s why it works 😊
I do not understand how people did not love this episode. It is one of the best uses of visual story telling I have ever seen. Exactly as they said, "ART". A FUCKING BRILLIANT EPISODE. Thank you.
I think most people liked/loved it on first viewing. However as people watched through the season, the much slower pace of this season in retrospect makes it feel like another episode where not much progressed and is kind of wasted. Seasons 1 and 2 felt like each episode was full of progression, but season 3 was running at like a 65%. Its harder to appreciate art when you feel like its giving you less substance just in a flashier form.
The specific and amount of subtle detail, the way they use call-backs as set-up and foreshadowing for the future… Like there’s a reality where this was the first episode of the series and it takes four seasons just fulfilling everything set up in it. Masterclass.
OMG, I just realized that when the chef in Copenhagen is telling Marcus about this other chef he met who was so clearly superior to him, he meant CARMY! This is scene shows us his frustration with realizing he’s met someone with more talent and ability.
Really appreciate all the real-life chef cameos this season, kicking it off in the first episode with Daniel Boulud and Rene Redzepi no less. Also, shout out to Maple’s chef partner with the spoon obsession. Never met a chef without one honestly.
It took me months to find the right spoons for work. Finally found them at Dollar Tree. After the first night I used them, I went back the next day and got 20 more, just so I had backup spoons.
Here in Sweden my family picks mushrooms and berries all the time! My mom just made me Lingonberry jam and I often get blueberry pie from my grandma. We got so much to forage since all land is public and it's like 80% forests lol There's nothing more relaxing than picking berries in a sunny day in the middle of a quiet forest where all you hear are the creeks running and the birds singing. Until you walk into a moose... As a kid I would often just pick wild strawberries and blueberries going home from school and sit down on a rock to have a snack
I like how much this episode tells about Carmy. He worked under many chefs that weren't assholes like Chef David/Joel McHale, yet because Carmy was brought up in a toxic environment, Chef David's toxicity ingrained itself in his mind. He also only retained the more negative aspects of the other chefs; Chef Terry for example was gentle, but the one time she was condescending ("do you need me to finish this for you?") resonated so much with him that he repeated it to Luca.
I love how weird and brave this episode is. It starts out with a background montage with very little dialogue set to music, and that keeps going.. and keeps going.. and keeps going, until the entire episode is over. And then you realize that wasn't just an "opening," that was the whole episode. That is some "swing for the fences" television and storytelling.
Small detail, but the dish that Syd eats is the version that Carmy originally conceived, where he fakes a fennel allergy and substitures the blood orange as a small rebellion against Chef Joel McHale. Also, it seems like he's plating with the same spoon that Chef Terry gave him earlier in the episode.
Also, he only did that because (apparently) that was the very day Michael committed suicide and he was shook. So, in a very messed up and twisted way, it was Mikey's death that caused her to admire Carmy so much.
This episode was all about less is more like in the begining the chef puts a sticker with "subtract". Was about telling a story with just showing and less dialogue. I loved this ep.
I said this on a different reaction video but this episode, to me, was a masterpiece and was so beautiful and melancholic and surreal. To me, it was like a painting.
Easily the best season of the show. People who have a problem with this season just watched the first 2 seasons for chefs shouting in a restaurant, not the character driven story. The only valid criticism I can accept for this season is the screentime for the Faks
Watching this episode high was quite the experience, lovely editing and audio design. Didn't expect that at all from the first episode 😊 I really wanna visit Chicago now..
Yeah, I mean people can like what they like or not like what they don't like, but I notice the criticism of this season stems from people not getting what they wanted from this season, as if they are the show runners, versus it actually being bad.
I wonder how much these ladies actually pay attention to what they are watching, I realize this is a reaction, but half the time, they aren't looking at the screen and are talking about things completely unrelated to what they are watching. Maybe it's just how the videos are edited, but it seems like they miss things on screen or talk over dialog.
the way we edit is definitely part of it. the moments where they're just quietly watching often get cut cause it triggers the content ID system. they also watch with subtitles so they can comment and follow along easier.
@@biharcourt Why? If it were me, I would be getting down on my hands and knees, begging for her forgiveness. There are not very many supportive mates out there like Claire. Count your blessings if you are so fortunate enough to have her in your life.
@@Elephant2024-wi2li He has a supportive mate in Sydney & this episode is reminder that Carmy & Sydney are MEANT to be in each others’ lives. Notice, she’s the FIRST one he apologizes to. That aside, Carmy’s relationship with Richie is WAY more important than the one with Claire. Both men obviously have things that they have never resolved since childhood that have built to resentment & anger, but they both know that they need each other & they need to work things out with one another, as they essentially ARE brothers. Also, they’re working together & so their relationship being in a bad place doesn’t just affect them. Claire, while Carmy had a crush on her, and he does like her, he’s still not sure what she means to him, despite him remembering Mikey claiming that she’s the love of his life, and Richie & Neil saying that she’s perfect. He knows that he was not in the place to start a relationship period, as he was working on opening a restaurant. So while it can’t feel good to overhear your boyfriend say that your relationship was a waste of time, she’s after Richie in terms of getting an apology.
The pacing of this season really annoyed me. Network wanted a fourth season randomly, so they stretched the hell out of the plot. Good shows need to end at the proper time.

So many people ragged on this episode as a waste of time and I was like really dude? This episode was beautifully done.

Flow state. Thats the word you're describing. And this episode catches that

Don’t forget Dave Beran formerly of Alinea was cameo as well.
@@DarthChefthey have to have the right edge to them, so many spoons are too polished. Dollarama up here in Canads had the best ones as well
The use of multiple songs from NIN was amazing
My favorite episode of the whole show so far. Showed without telling and the cinematography, music was so good
the editing on this episode is absolutely unfathomable. jfc. what an experience.
Incredible episode. Art is right.
Beautiful backstory for so many of the characters.
I can't help but cry each time I watch this episode. It has an emotional reverie like effect on my psyche.

A really beautiful episode of television. So glad you're back to The Bear for season 3. Loved your reactions to season 1 and 2.

This episode shows the beauty of Carm’s hard work and the challenges he faced with having something broken inside him like the anxiety
I just know this ep is gonna get nominated next year along with napkins. It's masterful and you can't stop looking
🎶AND WHEN IM BACK IN CHICAGO I FEEL IT....🎶
My favorite episode of Season 3. Pure art for chefs/cooks and a little insider baseball if you know which chefs and restaurants had cameos.
I love how weird and brave this episode is. It starts out with a background montage with very little dialogue set to music, and that keeps going.. and keeps going.. and keeps going, until the entire episode is over. And then you realize that wasn't just an "opening," that was the whole episode. That is some "swing for the fences" television and storytelling.
i was in a trance this whole episode.

one of the best episodes ever
Imo THE best episode. If someone asked me what the bear was about, I’d just play this episode
Maple and Ariana are a savvy and hilarious duo! I always look forward to your reactions to The Bear and Fleabag(RIP)
This was so beautiful man, loved this first episode.
This episode reminded me of Bergman’s Scenes from a Marriage. Maybe it’s the silences or the cool colors.
This episode is art. This season is art. This show is art! I love The Bear!
Maple what’s your partner’s restaurant called? I live in Denver and I’ve always wanted to eat at a Michelin star establishment
Did she say it's in Denver? If so it's either Brutø or The wolf's tailor.
I hope these high end spots don’t actually throw out dishes that aren’t “perfect”
Using the word "partner" bugs
The one reaction series I won't be watching because I haven't had time to finish the last season yet. 😭😭😭
Watch it now! It’s so good!
This episode was incredible
This season just DEEPENS

The sou tattoo it's for sense of urgency 😊
You should watch the Nicolas Cage film "PIG" he's the guy who forages for truffles at the best restaurants. One of my favourite films ever
Watching this episode high was quite the experience, lovely editing and audio design. Didn't expect that at all from the first episode 😊 I really wanna visit Chicago now..

You're awesome too!
There are a lot of people who hate this episode and this whole season actually. We call those people "morons" around here.

Since there is a new alien movie coming out would you guys do a reaction to alien vs predator 2
Glory 1989 !

It would be great if you do a review reaction of the underrated action movie (1990) Born to Ride.
