For me the worst part was: The Faks: we need less The monologues: for me the show shines when the pace is quickly and concentrated on something. Something I noticed this season was that it was so much monologues that are really boring to be honest.
Ice chips dragged the 1st time I watched I'll never forget. Turned over to my cousin who was watching the show with me and told him yea.... they kinda losing me rn
@@Titan_Jael I was mostly on edge with the Faks, especially right before the food photographer was supposed to arrive. Started screaming at my TV when one of the brothers lit a cigarette in there.
I’ve only seen the first two eps but they feel a lot like filler. Especially the first one, an emotionless recap of Carmie’s backstory. I’m open for the rest of the season to change my mind though!
I literally never comment on youtube videos but this was one of the best produced and most engaging videos i have seen in a while - this deserves so much hype and i hope the algorithm that pushed it to me pushes it to others. well done, truly. i love how you incorporate your sense of humor and personality into your commentary, and i know how long editing this must have taken. on behalf of all other viewers blessed by this video - thank you
My thoughts on the season before watching your video: I had been binge watching the show for what felt like three episodes maybe four, and then I had checked and I was on episode 8 and literally nothing had happened. I was genuinely in shock that I had two episodes left; too bad I didn’t bother to watch them.
I honestly really enjoyed this season because of the character development we got out of it. Sure, it was a bit boring at times, but there were some truly great moments in this season, mainly because we have deeper investment in the characters.
Critique of this season as “filler” or “bad” is exactly why I don’t engage with most media critique these days. The way I needed to a legit breather after every episode. Was legit standing up and pacing around for most of my first watch through. 10/10, pure emotional torture, wouldn’t not not not recommend.
22:39 omg that is such a good detail?? Thank you for pointing it out! I haven’t finished the video yet but I love your analysis and thoughts so far. Great work!!
this perfectly articulates how i felt about this season, like i couldn’t put it into words before but what u said about this season being like a precursor to season 4 is sooo true also i love the background music choices
After a few episodes I realized I'd rather wait until season 4 comes out to watch both seasons 3 and 4 back to back since I don't want to hate the show.
Personally this season felt weird, like sth was off and I can´t really figure out what it is. I just felt this season emotional core wasn´t as compelling, the characters weren´t as entertaining to watch and we got several scenes that were abt the same thing and didn´t feel like it was progressing or going somewhere, it feels kind of incomplete. Kind of waiting for the moment where everything would connect and get some kind of pay off but then the season ended.
In a 6 year relationship with a chef that was a sous at Napa’s Michelin restaurant. This show was very cathartic for me. It validated what I’ve observed, the struggle to emotionally evolve. The experience & trauma between Carmy and Chef David is real.
Napkins and Ice Chips are definitely my favorite episodes of this season. I get not liking all the monologuing and it was frustrating and annoying to watch but it makes so much sense to me and it was very emotional, had me sobbing. I like my mom a lot but I think most of us can relate to a lot of aspects of the relationship Nat has with her mom even if it's not to a similar extent. I was also sad that there was no focus on Marcus, he's the most likeable character and the one you have to root for, and he just went through something huge. Feels crazy not to have as much of this season dedicated to him. I also agree that we need an Ebra episode! I also don't really like Claire but I think that's just because she's so underdeveloped as a character, and also because she's so tangential to everything at The Bear. She's not unlikeable, she just feels irrelevant and not like a real person, only as this relationship for Carmie. Anyway I think Syd should accept the offer and leave ❤ I just quit my job so watching this season I was screaming at her in my head to quit too lol
Well said my man, I agree with you. It’s a weird season but there are also masterpieces sprinkled here and there. This season was deep characterisation, we’re gonna enjoy the payoff in season 4.
This is exactly what I've been saying. Like, "nothing happening" this season is the point. we get so much of living through carmy that the entire season feels as off putting and at a standstill as he does. carmy is stuck, so of course the restaurant- the show is going to be,
@@jennifercorozza7002Well, not all of the audience was bored. I surely wasn't bored & the season was even better on rewatch for me. Also, intent is a major part pf storytelling. People can not like season 3, that's fine, but I'm actually not sure how else this season could have went to make sense for how season 2 ended.
@@Keesha_Hardy Not, it's not. Intent does not matter if the execution is a failure. You can intend lots of things, but it doesn't matter if the story is not successful. I judge TV shows by boredom vs rewatchability. If I have no interest in rewatching a show, it's a failure. S1/S2, I can rewatch over and over. There are parts of S3 I can rewatch, mostly Richie-related (even though he barely got anything to do this season). the thing that is tough is Carmy is a introverted character, so if you center his stasis due to his dysfunction (Which s fine), the characters around need to do the stuff, the active parts and they didn't get that. I don't care what anyone says, episode Ice Chip was excruciatingly dull. The only episode of the Bear, I had to FF on a first watch. It was that bad. The biggest problem w/season was the writing, in particular, the structure of the season. It makes me worry for S4 because this is not good set up. Even stasis needs dynamism.
Appreciate the luv ❤️ I use filmora for video editing. Ik how to use multiple editing software, but filmora is the quickest and easiest to use and that’s how I taught myself how to edit videos when I started YT
It's dying the same way Shameless did. Lip yells and his emotions feel real and raw so then they give him more camera time to yell and scream and rub his hand on his face and througg his hair as he struggless and stresses. Now we see the same pattern with Carm.
Every second counts. This season has a ton of connections and payoffs of moments from the first two seasons, and watching Sydney fall apart over questioning her loyalty to The Bear is amazing. If shows like Tina’s meeting with Mikey are filler then give me more filler.
curious to see what they do with the window of the bear in the next season. those brief scenes with ebraheim and the old crew felt like such a return to form, plus the napkins episode and mikey talking about the chaos and insanity of the beef, its highs and lows. it suggested, rather strongly, to me that the issue isn't just carmy being stuck-- it's that the bear is trying too hard to be something that can't last and something that it never should be. we know they're spending too much, mostly because of carmy's insanely high standards. the window, the beef, is what's really holding them up financially. Ever closed down. carmy knows he can't make the bear last forever. it'll run him into the dirt. but, the beef can last, i think. set up with the skills and higher standards carmy has introduced, ritchie's massive growth in character, and a crew that really care for the place and each other. i want to see the beef at its fullest potential; not the bear, in all its carmy soaked desperation to spitefully prove its the best thing around. i want to see a local restaurant that doesn't care for the highest dollar and the finest clientele. i want to see an honest place that wants to serve good food for the average person
This comment is from another video about this season I just want to put it here as well. For me this season was definitely disappointing. for me season 1 of the show is 10 out of 10 the best season of Television I think I've ever seen. In season 2 had some of the highest highs of the entire show with the Christmas episode and the episode focused on Richie. My biggest issue with season 3 is that it genuinely felt off the whole time everything felt longer but somehow nothing was happening. the dialogue is always great and as someone studying screenwriting I'm extremely impressed on how they do this. but it got to the point where the scenes kept going when they should have probably ended 3 minutes ago and to me it felt like maybe that's the point it's meant to feel uncomfortable but it should never get to the point that I'm actively checking how much time is left in the episode. I liked elements of the first episode and I liked that episode 2 was a long argument but also I just felt it could have been executed better. I love the Tina episode and I love the hospital episode. For me I think the showrunners and writers started buying into their own hype and whenever that happens with creatives it becomes a problem. because now they can think they can do anything and it's clear that they probably shouldn't be doing anything they want. And there is too many celebrity cameos I don't typically care about that kind of stuff but even seeing John Cena broke my brain because I'm a wrestling fan and seeing him in anything kind of confuses me. And I'm so bought into the world of the show that seeing genuinely extremely famous person John Cena not being extremely famous person John Cena makes no sense to me because we know famous real people exist in the show why is John Cena actually just a character? Me and my mother watched both seasons of the bear for me I was rewatching it she was seeing it for the first time and she loved it. and she related heavily with the show. but even this season, I could tell she was losing interest. It got to the point where she was actively disinterested and was telling me that she wanted to take breaks. And my mom isn't as media literate as me so if she's telling me that I know there's a problem. Again I think the show is extremely well made the music's great the acting is amazing the dialogues always incredible but something just fell off and I feel like even if this entire season set up and we're going to get the fourth season quicker than we expect it still should be able to stand on its own two feet and the season doesn't really do that. For me I always see The Bear as a shining example of writing for television and someone studying this it's disappointing to see that it seems like the writers aren't putting their best foot forward. This is getting very rambly but I'm just thinking too much and I'm going to continue writing. I feel like the show was starting to lose its identity because one of the main reasons I watched season 1 is because I like the dynamic of this guy coming from the world of Fancy High dining cooking having to go back because his brother killed himself and take over his restaurant and everyone is against him because of where he's coming from. And I feel like as the show went on and the sandwich shop is no longer a sandwich shop it's now this fine dining restaurant it feels wrong. I don't know I just really like season 1 more than season 2. And I feel just that the show for me has been getting worse for each season not like it's gone from a 10 to a six more like it's gone more like 10 to a 9 to an 8. Again I think the show is really well made and I hope they stick the landing for season 4 but I am definitely disappointed with the season it's still good but it doesn't reach the same heights is the best way to say it.
The website i was watching on had the episodes numbered from last to first so i was 80% through the first episode wondering wtf was going on😂😂 i thought it was some experimental type premiere episode. Watched the first 3 episodes and forgot to pick it back up again. If this show had 15+ episodes i could see myself continuing but knowing that its gonna end so soon after taking so many episodes to pick up just turns me off. Its extremely well shot tho so ill definitely start after season 4 is dropped
It's more that they don't like how she's written, which I get. Normally, if a character is supposed to be "the one" for the main character, they would have been developed & written better than Claire has. Some people claim that it's only Sydcarmy shippers that don't like her, but it's just not true.
hey so how needed was the rlly loud static at the start of the video? just kinda hurt my ears for no reason. good way to make me stop watching ur video before it even starts
No, but from what I've noticed since season 2 came out was that it's more about how she's kinda underwhelming, and written a little bit like a cliche love interest
This season is so weird, for a show where is motif is “every second counts” they sure do love wasting a lot of time.
nah it was right where it needed to be...s4 gonna bang
For me the worst part was:
The Faks: we need less
The monologues: for me the show shines when the pace is quickly and concentrated on something. Something I noticed this season was that it was so much monologues that are really boring to be honest.
Ice chips dragged the 1st time I watched I'll never forget. Turned over to my cousin who was watching the show with me and told him yea.... they kinda losing me rn
You know ball (I agree with you)
@@Titan_Jael I was mostly on edge with the Faks, especially right before the food photographer was supposed to arrive. Started screaming at my TV when one of the brothers lit a cigarette in there.
Hard agree. Them with the photographer and them bum rushing Claire in the freaking hospital made me keep thinking "Okay next scene.... Okay next!!!"
I loved this season except Faks(I still love Cena) and the ice chips episode
i think there’s a big difference between a “filler” episode and a “set-up” episode. this season feels like set-up. not filler.
He never said it was tho, he just said he hated that ppl called this a filler season
@@monkeyddrippy5897 i know… i’m agreeing with him.

I’d still give the entire season a chance. Like I said ppl overblew the hell out of the content in this season
This season is important, we need to understand the consequences of carmys actions

IM ONLY 4 MINUTES IN but when I say I’m gonna be right beside you and Marcus because we are gonna be GLAAAAZING.
Need S4 yesterday ☝️
I didnt realise that episode 2 was disliked, i thought it was one of the best written, paced and funniest of the show
Well said my man, I agree with you. It’s a weird season but there are also masterpieces sprinkled here and there.

intro is gorgeous amazing beautiful i'm tearing up
arent they building Marcus to making some kind of SUPER dessert thats gonna be a game changer???

I love the bear and I love bossa nova what an awesome video >:3
14:17 the way carmy says that has me dying everytime

Eh not that bad fr
@@monkeyddrippy5897the disappointment was just probably cause they set themselves up for so much, so their 'ok' seasons feel bad
