@@7daimeHokagelike that’s a bad thing, the show is telling the reality of the lives of chefs for the most part and if they can get real chefs to sell it why shouldn’t they ? They have enough good actors in the show already but this episode was about sharing stories and who better to share REAL stories than actual real life chefs ?
@@7daimeHokage Nothing’s wrong with paying homage to the actual working chefs in Chicago goofy. Putting them on the spotlight like this cements them. Good exposure means good for business. It’s absolutely amazing a show this big did something like this.
The conversation between Carm and Joel McHale is so good. I’m sure almost everyone has that one person who severely wronged them in some way and “thinks about them too much,” meanwhile they’ve probably forgotten about your existence entirely.
@@pabloc8808 Really? That is actually quite surprising because when I worked in his kitchen about 15 years ago, he was pretty nice to everyone similar to how you see him with Carmy here.
Carmi fails to realize he wanted it. He chose to return to that kitchen everyday cuz he knew it was getting him where he wanted. When the dust settled, he realized he sacrificed too much of himself.
Any of the kitchens he worked at could've gotten him where he wanted, but the only language Carmy understands is abuse because of his mother, so in his mind the shit Chef Fields put him through was the right way to do things
The Chef at the beginning of the episode is Thomas Keller, the actual head chef of The French Laundry. All of his kitchens have a plaque that reads "Sense Of Urgency", which inspired the show's "Every Second Counts". Carmy has a tattoo on his fingers that reads "S.O.U.", and that's what it stands for.
I definitely feel they setting up something between Richie and Chef Jess. His current story is about loneliness and moving on from his ex, so this seems like a natural direction to go.
Jess said she surrounds herself with people better than herself "outside of work". We know her and Richie stayed in touch. Also, this man straight up put food in her mouth at the party at Syd's lol, this just has to happen
When I was watching this, I had the thought that if Carmy told Richy what this dude just said. Richy would proceed to go in and break his head on a sink. Richy is such a good friend.
All these chefs talking about their passion for cooking in specific detail to each of them while Carmy is there staring daggers at his anxiety generator. And after talking to David, thinking he'll get some closure, all he gets is an identity crisis on why he became a chec and whether or not he even likes what he does at all. Brilliant episode
Carmi sold his soul to the devil to become an excellent chef. He wanted to spite his brother so bad that he was either completely willing or naive to what he was giving up to achieve that level of greatness. He could have walked out at anytime during his work with David but he decided (again either willingly or he was too naive to see what he was doing to himself) to stay. Then he comes towards his tormentor, to try and get him to own up for what he did to him but the fact is, and I'm sorry if anyone disagrees with me but in my opinion, Carmi did it to himself.
I think you're spot on. He had plenty of good mentors who weren't abusive, like Chef Terry, Chef Daniel Boulud ("listen to the music"), Chef Keller (roast chicken), etc. But he grew up in an abusive environment, so abuse is what resonated with him, therefore he couldn't leave Chef David because in his head, that's the only way to become great: endure suffering. Chef David is abusive and an asshole, sure, but unlike many abuse scenarios, Carmy didn't have to take it, he "chose" to.
Surprised no one commented on the wish bome scene in the beginning, the chef teaching Carmen the proper way to remove it and then Carmen juat deciding to do his own thing and the placement of the wishbone (facing towards the original wishbone instead of following the direction set by the teaching chef) on the bucket seemed to be symbolic of this path he's been taking as a chef. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it lol
Nah you're right. Thomas Keller taught him how to "French" the wishbone I think? By doing the scrapping he was able to remove it with very cleanly but Carmy went and just straight up ripped it out. Pretty sure it was meant to parallel Carmys frenetic drive or maybe that he's leaning but discards the things he doesn't find important. I think Tina asked him about the popes nose at some point in an episode a while back and he definitely didn't reply with what Keller said so it's implied he forgot or didn't care to internalize that info.
Luca (Will Poulter) was talking to Chief Grant Achatz of Alinea in Chicago, which has 3 Michelin stars. He has persevered even though he had tongue cancer.
5:18 They are real chefs. The Chef who got annoyed by the fanboy is Grant Achatz of Alinea in Chicago. The woman talking about corn bread ice cream is I believe Christina Tosi of the Milk Bar in New York City, and she was pointing to her old boss Wylie Dufresne, of WD-50 in Manhattan.
Honestly, if I were Sydney, I would quit. It would break my heart just like it looks like it’s breaking hers, but The Bear the way it’s being run by Carmen is a sinking ship and she needs to jump ship before she drowns with them if she ever wants to become a successful chef.
Keep in mind that the chef at Ever has also been shown to be mentally abusive to staff (Forks episode of last season). And Syd's whole thing was that she can't handle big decisions by herself, its why her business failed hard. I think Season 4 will be a realization for Carmy and Syd that they need each other to survive the restuarant industry, and that you can't run from everything forever.
Also keep in mind that Syd told her dad that she needs the Bear to work because if it doesn't, then she really doesn't have the mental/emotional energy to try again.
I think it's really cool when y'all mix it up with some prestige TV. Your reactions to Barry and The Bear are awesome Succession next? 👀 IMO the best show of the last 10 years. Really funny too
The mixed review for The Bear restaurant is ironically a perfect way to describe this season of the show itself. This season was so all over the road that you can’t really say it’s great or terrible. And it really pissed me off that it ended with a cliffhanger because it made me feel like this was just part one of season three.
I'll have to wait and see how Season 4 uses the framework of this season to hopefully wrap things up satisfyingly, but I will say that I felt very frustrated with a season that didn't offer much in the way of internal resolution or character arcs. Seasons 1 and 2 build upon each other and chart a course for the show, but they also have satisfying, contained overarching season narratives. This one leans heavily on what will have to come next. It's possible to set things up and still offer some catharsis in the meantime.
I think it's going to be about the restaurant closing, and how they deal with that. They hint at it with the family tree scene and Ever closing, for example. The Bear was built on grief and loss, after all, and the end of grief is acceptance. They'll go their separate ways, work on other ventures, teach what they've learned, but they'll stay a family.
Yeah I liked the season (not as much as season 2) but I felt a little put off by the "to be continued". We got no kind of resolutions or closure by the end of the season.
They made a big deal that the restaurant didn’t feel like Carmy and that it all felt stale. I felt like the whole time The Bear wasn’t him, but him emulating what he was taught to try and get the Michelin stars. The style and menu was likely similar to what he learned with Joel Mchales character. I think the next season we will see them do away with the revolving menus and have The Bear become what Carmy had envisioned all along, something unique to Carmy. People went to the restaurant to try dishes of his creation but thats not what they got, hence the negative review.
That interaction between Carmy and his head chef, where the dude tells Carmy that he got rid of all the bullshit to become excellent reminded me of the final scene from Whiplash. Andrew stopped everything and followed Terrence's words in the end, and he became excellent.
Eyo has a crazy range honestly. It may not be your guys vibe but she had a movie come out a bit ago called “bottoms” it was crazy hilarious. A “female fight club”
I remember watching this finale the first time and kinda expecting Carmy to go full blown Lip from Shameless and throw a swing lol. All in all I liked the finale but I kinda didn’t. Featuring all the chefs and having them tell these stories was a unique experience but from a story perspective it kinda felt awkwardly paced for the shows story. Like I wanted more and I know it’s setting up for a new season but idk this finale didn’t hit as hard for me as season 2
Their stories is to show how traumatic was the Carmy experience, none of them had the same BS he suffered from David, he didn't make him more successful
The chef's conversation was specifically to show the contrast between their relationship to food and Carmy's. They said so much about why they love what they do and all Carmy could think about is the trauma that pushed him to be so good at cooking. He pushed Claire away from his life to focus on cooking but does he really even like what he does? Only time he was happy cooking was when he was learning how to cook in Noma and New York, now, after being pushed away by his brother, getting bullied to be great but David, then Mikey dying and leaving him the restaurant, the man doesn't know why he's even bothering with it anymore
Bradley Cooper was in a movie called Burnt, where he plays a troubled michelin chef, which is funny coz it's a bit similar to The Bear. Showing that pic got ppl thinking that the show and movie is in the same universe lol
They're all real, incredibly accomplished chefs. The chef that Will Poulter stumbles talking to is Grant Achatz of Alinea in Chicago, who is more wizard than cook.
The ironic thing is that Carmy started cooking out of anger because of his brother. Everything that followed was him being guided by his anger. This episode was perfect in showing that. No matter how good things are around him he will use his anger to focus in on something. Just as he was doing all night. Carmy never got involved in any conversation he just let his anger take over and focus on the chef.
i don't think that chef was getting satisfaction from carmy being upset or pretended to forget his name. I sincerely believe he didn't give a single shit, had carmy hit him he would've been genuinely confused. he only remembered carmy as a chef not his identity
The pacing of this season really felt off because originally it was supposed to be a 3 season run but the network asked them to stretch it into 4. So really we are getting HALF of what would have happened in the original season 3. Let's see if they can stick the landing on the final season!
before i saw the season I was worried they would breeze past an apology to claire and make up/move on. So I'm glad they made it a more significant plot point and took their time with it. I'm sure that will be another one to be tackled in season 4.
I think Sydney had a panic attack because Carmy passed on his trauma to her without knowing it. Meanwhile you have all these chefs telling them that they became excellent without having to get the mental trauma that Carmy got. Maybe the review was actually good and Carmy was secretly hoping it would be bad so he wouldn't have to cook anymore because it brings him nothing but pain.
I think Carmy was a great chef despite that abuse, not because of it. It's a common tactic for abusers, especially abusive parents, to justify what they say and do by saying they're 'toughening you up'
This season felt… weird to me. Like it was good, but I felt like there wasn’t much that felt impactful as a whole up to the end. I think Roshi’s right about this being a setup season. And that makes sense.
@NegaiFreak Season 3 was supposed to be the last season but FX wanted more seasons so season 3 was split into 3 and 4, so it seems spread out because of that. It's FX fault.
@@aznthy Not really, season 3 and 4 were more like Season 3 Part One and Two, but the actors are getting famous so the schedules didn't allow for filiming back to back seasons.
What I really hate is people using the speech with Chef David as an inspirational talk, and it wasn't, it was BS, the guy is an abuser, IF YOU PAY ATTENTION to the flashbacks, Carmy was already good, concentraded and always innovating, the first scene point to that, the Chef from the LA restaurant use a knife to remove the wishbone, Carmy use his hand and find it faster, LUCA is an amazing chef for working with Carmy PRE chef David and Marcus got that vibe from him, instead SYDNEY is working with the Carmy with the TRAUMA and she is receiving all that, crashing thanks to the unattended trauma Carmy has, he is poison, the Walk-In triggered his trauma, he was getting better, is after the fridge that he decided to make the worst decisions for The Bear, Sydney is crying because she knows she needs to learn more from Carmy, but he is killing her, Sydney right now is the Carmy from the Flashback while he was in New York. But no, CARMY was already good, he didn't need all the Chef David BS, Chef Terry is the proof of that, the rest of the chefs telling their own stories, none of them had the same Carmy BS experience... he is damaged, David detroyed him.
Yeah, I don’t get why people keep skirting over the fact that Chef David is an ABUSER & a narcissist. I keep hearing commentary that seems to laud his abusive behavior, making seem as if it’s “just another way” to teach & mentor someone when it’s the WRONG way.
Chef David is very much like Fletcher from the movie Whiplash (fantastic movie btw, if you haven't watched you definitely should), and just like Fletcher, people don't realize he's the villain and "it worked" is not an excuse. You don't have to ruin your life in order to be great, there's a difference between discipline and obsession: discipline is healthy, obsession is not.
I think the story telling in this season is great but it annoys me that this is half the story. Ending the season at the high point which is Carmen seeing his shitty mentor, getting a bad review, setting up Carmen interaction with Claire,and syds having a panic attack all in the same night should be the height of their over arching arc of one story not the half way point in between 2 seasons.
please!! watch The Untamed, it's a Chinese drama with 50 episodes. One of the most amazing, soul-wrenching, well - thought out stories I have ever consumed! It's like if ATLA and GOT had a baby. It has insane world building and the story spans over 20+ years in detailed way so you really get to become attached and invested. It is based on a Chinese BL novel but due to Chinese censorship they made the live action about ✨️brotherhood✨️. But through the bromance you can see the actors really tried to convey what the characters canonically mean to eachother. There is some diabolical CGI and over the top acting at some points but it adds to the fun experience and doesn't take away from the general masterpiece that is Untamed. It is also not reacted to a lot on YT so it's fresh content with so many fans worldwide. It has been the top Chinese live action drama in the world ever since it came out.
Chef David is the reason why I don't buy people who use the "brutal honesty" card as a support mechanism. I can treat you like absolute dogs**t, cause you mental trauma, and still tell you to your face "your welcome" like I didn't do anything wrong. I don't care that you had ulcers, nightmares, a possible mental illness manifested...in my eyes you got better because of me, so none of that matters. To me it's total BS. And anyone who wants to argue that with me...I give you Chef Terry and the stories from all the chefs at that table. You do not have to bring someone down to the point of mental or physical break for them to succeed. With anything in life. Now, the flip side is Carmy yes DID let someone like that live rent free in his head. He acknowledges that he has been mentally f'd over because of this guy, yet can't bring himself to recover and free himself from that pain. Almost like he accepts the fact that he simply is that person. Granted, this stems from mental trauma, so yes it is easier said than done. But I also see the vignettes of all the other chefs Carmy worked with, and wonder why out of all of them, Chef David is the one that supersedes all of the others.
I think it's because of the environment he grew up in. He's use to the chaos and mental abuse/trauma. He's learned to channel it into his art, to help him laser focus. So that's why he gravitated towards the abusive chef more, it's something he's familiar with di he already knows how to work through it. But all he did was repress and internalize all the abuse until it all finally boiled over and manifested into uncontrolled anxiety, panic attacks, and ptsd.
@@sousaetern1276 100%. You may realize abuse as it's happening, but if your subconscious has normalized it, you will internalize it as natural homeostasis.
@theamazingrobin927 Based on the merits and awards Ever won and the entourage of award winning world class chefs that came, I would argue she is as highly regarded as Chef David. Plus Carmy isn't the only one that had negative words for Chef David.
Abuse is known to create mega stars look at michael jackson, beyonce, etc. When it comes to people who do that type of abusive high structure uniform stuff I quote 12 years a slave " I did as instructed. If there's something wrong, it's wrong with the instructions!" If I am not doing what you're asking of me then you're instructions are bad and you are a bad teacher. You cant just tell people you're doing it wrong without showing them the correct way and then expecting them to get it perfectly. Which it seems like joel mchale's character was doing to Carmy. There was no teaching and all verbal abuse. As much as structure is good to have it's a foundation to build on. All structure leaves no room for creativity which leads to generic or robotic outputs. A big no no in creative fields like cooking. Also we dont know if it did work for the other guy is okay because we dont see his day to day. He probably is as messed up a carmy but hides it better.
Chef Andrea Terry completely ruined Carmy by inviting David Fields to the event, or even allowing them to be in the same building together. Either she didn’t know that he’s the one who ruined Carmen‘s life by emotionally and psychologically abusing him, or she did know and just invited him anyway. Either way she just did the equivalent of inviting over your friend’s abusive parent or ex husband to dinner with your friend. And I think it was bad writing to not have either Carmen truly beating the living shit out of David, or having everyone in the restaurant chastise and kick out David. My dark humor loving ass would’ve had the whole dinner actually be a planned murder of David in the same style as Dexter meets Hannibal and have everyone cut him to pieces, cook them, then feed David his own flesh while David is still alive and conscious.
How is it bad writing that Carmy didn’t beat Chef David up when Carmy has never been shown to be the kind of guy? Anytime he has fought, HE’s been the one getting beat up (S1E1) or he’s been pretty bad at it & had to have someone defend him (S1E8). Also, Carmy chose to approach Chef David alone, out of seeing & hearing range, apparently, of the other chefs in attendance, so it wouldn’t have made sense to have the whole chastising moment happen. I totally get what you’re saying about Chef Terry even inviting Chef David though. Surely, she must have known how horrible that guy is. I don’t think the fine dining world is THAT big & I’m sure word gets around.
@@Keesha_Hardy again it really makes Andrea look horrible, because either she forgot that David abused Carmy (which I seriously doubt), or she thought they could somehow bury the hatchet which is completely idiotic. I don’t know why show runner Chris Storer kept dropping the ball this whole season.
1:27 What? Am I wrong but only income in the next bracket is taxrd no? Like say you make and extra 10k a year and this puts you 5k into the new bracket then doesn't only the this 5k get taxed at the new rate while the rest gets taxed at the old rate? Meaming more money is always just more money?
I appreciate the season for what it is but i do feel like the whole season they were building towards something and we didnt get much of a payoff. I liked seasons 1 and 2 better but im still excited for season 4
My only real complaints about this season are the Faks - but specifically when they just interact with themselves, they're really funny interacting with a non-fak but when its just them it gets more annoying than funny. Also I think this season had a bit too much "do you remember that time when..." conversations. Overdone. Otherwise I loved the season tho it had some amazing moments and amazing episodes
Hi, I've been a silent subscriber here and I'm just wondering, did you guys doesn't have a reaction to Kaiju No. 8?

Pls tell me u didn't delete it. 😢
Not a great season but there were some great episodes. The Jon Bernthal episode and the Jamie Lee Curtis one saved it a bit but the whole season felt like failure and stress with no happy ending over the horizon but maybe that's what they were going for.
This season delivered imo but not sure what you were expecting. Though I will be fair and say that like a lot of shows this feels like it's halfway through the season and we're still waiting for second half to drop.
This was definitely a setup season, looking forward to S4!

People went to the restaurant to try dishes of his creation but thats not what they got, hence the negative review.
That interaction between Carmy and his head chef, where the dude tells Carmy that he got rid of all the bullshit to become excellent reminded me of the final scene from Whiplash. Andrew stopped everything and followed Terrence's words in the end, and he became excellent.
Eyo has a crazy range honestly. It may not be your guys vibe but she had a movie come out a bit ago called “bottoms” it was crazy hilarious. A “female fight club”
Trauma..trauma everywhere
I remember watching this finale the first time and kinda expecting Carmy to go full blown Lip from Shameless and throw a swing lol. All in all I liked the finale but I kinda didn’t. Featuring all the chefs and having them tell these stories was a unique experience but from a story perspective it kinda felt awkwardly paced for the shows story. Like I wanted more and I know it’s setting up for a new season but idk this finale didn’t hit as hard for me as season 2
Their stories is to show how traumatic was the Carmy experience, none of them had the same BS he suffered from David, he didn't make him more successful
The chef's conversation was specifically to show the contrast between their relationship to food and Carmy's. They said so much about why they love what they do and all Carmy could think about is the trauma that pushed him to be so good at cooking. He pushed Claire away from his life to focus on cooking but does he really even like what he does? Only time he was happy cooking was when he was learning how to cook in Noma and New York, now, after being pushed away by his brother, getting bullied to be great but David, then Mikey dying and leaving him the restaurant, the man doesn't know why he's even bothering with it anymore
Bro used the Joe Jackson method on Carmy 😂
brutal. lol
the Whiplash method
Never tell him Good Work!
Bradley Cooper was in a movie called Burnt, where he plays a troubled michelin chef, which is funny coz it's a bit similar to The Bear. Showing that pic got ppl thinking that the show and movie is in the same universe lol
Lupa and sheera being the devil and ángel on carmys shoulders was the best part of the vid 😂
They're all real, incredibly accomplished chefs. The chef that Will Poulter stumbles talking to is Grant Achatz of Alinea in Chicago, who is more wizard than cook.
The ironic thing is that Carmy started cooking out of anger because of his brother. Everything that followed was him being guided by his anger. This episode was perfect in showing that. No matter how good things are around him he will use his anger to focus in on something. Just as he was doing all night. Carmy never got involved in any conversation he just let his anger take over and focus on the chef.
lotta real chefs in this episode and others
"u" reference was absolutely uncalled for Rosh😭
Season 3 was way more enjoyable watching with all 3 of yall.
People are really hating on this season but to me I think it’s great. I like the mood change and I hope next season comes soon.
S3x10 - Forever (For Ever)
When you see your opp but it doesnt turn out how you expect.
sometimes you gotta let go
Up
Not roshi exposing his “real self” 😂😂😂😂
i don't think that chef was getting satisfaction from carmy being upset or pretended to forget his name. I sincerely believe he didn't give a single shit, had carmy hit him he would've been genuinely confused. he only remembered carmy as a chef not his identity
The pacing of this season really felt off because originally it was supposed to be a 3 season run but the network asked them to stretch it into 4. So really we are getting HALF of what would have happened in the original season 3. Let's see if they can stick the landing on the final season!
A top end chef making snacks with whatever is in my pantry and freezer would be tremendous!
16:11 DID NO ONE CATCH THE KENDRICK LAMAR REFERENCE
That broke my leg analogy was funny asl
this year built with built up seasons in all shows
before i saw the season I was worried they would breeze past an apology to claire and make up/move on. So I'm glad they made it a more significant plot point and took their time with it. I'm sure that will be another one to be tackled in season 4.
I hope in S4, Gordon Ramsay will do a cameo lmfao
season 1 was a setup for s2. i think s3 is the prologue to s4
This feels more like half a season
Yeah especially with how many things were left completely unresolved this season
Carmy Verstappen, interesting😂
So my boy Carmy made no real personal
progress this season. I see how it is.
Ngl, Watching my boss at TV was hella confusing....
I feel like Carmy’s ex boss is an abuser and took it to work lol
It’s unfortunate that they didn’t highlight any black chefs especially since it’s based in Chicago, but I thought it was a solid season overall
we need community reactions!!!
I almost skipped watching this season because everyone said it was bad, but it was excellent? I loved it
nah they building Marcus up to making one of the best deserts in history BOI!
I think Sydney had a panic attack because Carmy passed on his trauma to her without knowing it. Meanwhile you have all these chefs telling them that they became excellent without having to get the mental trauma that Carmy got.
Maybe the review was actually good and Carmy was secretly hoping it would be bad so he wouldn't have to cook anymore because it brings him nothing but pain.
I think Carmy was a great chef despite that abuse, not because of it. It's a common tactic for abusers, especially abusive parents, to justify what they say and do by saying they're 'toughening you up'
This season felt… weird to me. Like it was good, but I felt like there wasn’t much that felt impactful as a whole up to the end. I think Roshi’s right about this being a setup season. And that makes sense.
@NegaiFreak Season 3 was supposed to be the last season but FX wanted more seasons so season 3 was split into 3 and 4, so it seems spread out because of that. It's FX fault.
@@aznthy Not really, season 3 and 4 were more like Season 3 Part One and Two, but the actors are getting famous so the schedules didn't allow for filiming back to back seasons.
Would've made the episode if Carmy threw a fork at him...
Adding to the echo chamber: they’re all real Michelin tires.
Season 4 gonna be fucking lit!🔥
What I really hate is people using the speech with Chef David as an inspirational talk, and it wasn't, it was BS, the guy is an abuser, IF YOU PAY ATTENTION to the flashbacks, Carmy was already good, concentraded and always innovating, the first scene point to that, the Chef from the LA restaurant use a knife to remove the wishbone, Carmy use his hand and find it faster, LUCA is an amazing chef for working with Carmy PRE chef David and Marcus got that vibe from him, instead SYDNEY is working with the Carmy with the TRAUMA and she is receiving all that, crashing thanks to the unattended trauma Carmy has, he is poison, the Walk-In triggered his trauma, he was getting better, is after the fridge that he decided to make the worst decisions for The Bear, Sydney is crying because she knows she needs to learn more from Carmy, but he is killing her, Sydney right now is the Carmy from the Flashback while he was in New York.
But no, CARMY was already good, he didn't need all the Chef David BS, Chef Terry is the proof of that, the rest of the chefs telling their own stories, none of them had the same Carmy BS experience... he is damaged, David detroyed him.
Yeah, I don’t get why people keep skirting over the fact that Chef David is an ABUSER & a narcissist. I keep hearing commentary that seems to laud his abusive behavior, making seem as if it’s “just another way” to teach & mentor someone when it’s the WRONG way.
Chef David is very much like Fletcher from the movie Whiplash (fantastic movie btw, if you haven't watched you definitely should), and just like Fletcher, people don't realize he's the villain and "it worked" is not an excuse. You don't have to ruin your life in order to be great, there's a difference between discipline and obsession: discipline is healthy, obsession is not.
Y’all should start the power books
so early only the bots are leaving comments damn
for real all i see rn is an ocean of bots
They're real chefs! LOL
S4 needs to get here quick fast.
the guy who plays niel fak is a real chef
Sick intro!!
I feel like you guys should watch the movie The Menu if you haven’t already.
Love the content, I’ve been a huge fan since 2020. My favorite content creators fsss🤍now let me start the video lolll.
forever
I think the story telling in this season is great but it annoys me that this is half the story. Ending the season at the high point which is Carmen seeing his shitty mentor, getting a bad review, setting up Carmen interaction with Claire,and syds having a panic attack all in the same night should be the height of their over arching arc of one story not the half way point in between 2 seasons.
please!! watch The Untamed, it's a Chinese drama with 50 episodes. One of the most amazing, soul-wrenching, well - thought out stories I have ever consumed! It's like if ATLA and GOT had a baby. It has insane world building and the story spans over 20+ years in detailed way so you really get to become attached and invested. It is based on a Chinese BL novel but due to Chinese censorship they made the live action about ✨️brotherhood✨️. But through the bromance you can see the actors really tried to convey what the characters canonically mean to eachother. There is some diabolical CGI and over the top acting at some points but it adds to the fun experience and doesn't take away from the general masterpiece that is Untamed. It is also not reacted to a lot on YT so it's fresh content with so many fans worldwide. It has been the top Chinese live action drama in the world ever since it came out.
Chef David is the reason why I don't buy people who use the "brutal honesty" card as a support mechanism.
I can treat you like absolute dogs**t, cause you mental trauma, and still tell you to your face "your welcome" like I didn't do anything wrong.
I don't care that you had ulcers, nightmares, a possible mental illness manifested...in my eyes you got better because of me, so none of that matters.
To me it's total BS. And anyone who wants to argue that with me...I give you Chef Terry and the stories from all the chefs at that table.
You do not have to bring someone down to the point of mental or physical break for them to succeed. With anything in life.
Now, the flip side is Carmy yes DID let someone like that live rent free in his head. He acknowledges that he has been mentally f'd over because of this guy, yet can't bring himself to recover and free himself from that pain. Almost like he accepts the fact that he simply is that person. Granted, this stems from mental trauma, so yes it is easier said than done. But I also see the vignettes of all the other chefs Carmy worked with, and wonder why out of all of them, Chef David is the one that supersedes all of the others.
I think it's because of the environment he grew up in. He's use to the chaos and mental abuse/trauma. He's learned to channel it into his art, to help him laser focus. So that's why he gravitated towards the abusive chef more, it's something he's familiar with di he already knows how to work through it. But all he did was repress and internalize all the abuse until it all finally boiled over and manifested into uncontrolled anxiety, panic attacks, and ptsd.
@@sousaetern1276 100%.
You may realize abuse as it's happening, but if your subconscious has normalized it, you will internalize it as natural homeostasis.
Just for the sake of asking. Is Chef Terry regarded as highly as Chef David is in the Bearverse?
@theamazingrobin927 Based on the merits and awards Ever won and the entourage of award winning world class chefs that came, I would argue she is as highly regarded as Chef David. Plus Carmy isn't the only one that had negative words for Chef David.
I dont know if anybody asked you guys this but pls check out the anime: Quality assurance in another world, if you guys don't mind
I like that guy.
Abuse is known to create mega stars look at michael jackson, beyonce, etc.
When it comes to people who do that type of abusive high structure uniform stuff I quote 12 years a slave " I did as instructed. If there's something wrong, it's wrong with the instructions!"
If I am not doing what you're asking of me then you're instructions are bad and you are a bad teacher. You cant just tell people you're doing it wrong without showing them the correct way and then expecting them to get it perfectly. Which it seems like joel mchale's character was doing to Carmy. There was no teaching and all verbal abuse. As much as structure is good to have it's a foundation to build on. All structure leaves no room for creativity which leads to generic or robotic outputs. A big no no in creative fields like cooking. Also we dont know if it did work for the other guy is okay because we dont see his day to day. He probably is as messed up a carmy but hides it better.
thats some shit kobe would do if he was a chef lmao
Chef Andrea Terry completely ruined Carmy by inviting David Fields to the event, or even allowing them to be in the same building together. Either she didn’t know that he’s the one who ruined Carmen‘s life by emotionally and psychologically abusing him, or she did know and just invited him anyway. Either way she just did the equivalent of inviting over your friend’s abusive parent or ex husband to dinner with your friend.
And I think it was bad writing to not have either Carmen truly beating the living shit out of David, or having everyone in the restaurant chastise and kick out David. My dark humor loving ass would’ve had the whole dinner actually be a planned murder of David in the same style as Dexter meets Hannibal and have everyone cut him to pieces, cook them, then feed David his own flesh while David is still alive and conscious.
How is it bad writing that Carmy didn’t beat Chef David up when Carmy has never been shown to be the kind of guy? Anytime he has fought, HE’s been the one getting beat up (S1E1) or he’s been pretty bad at it & had to have someone defend him (S1E8). Also, Carmy chose to approach Chef David alone, out of seeing & hearing range, apparently, of the other chefs in attendance, so it wouldn’t have made sense to have the whole chastising moment happen.
I totally get what you’re saying about Chef Terry even inviting Chef David though. Surely, she must have known how horrible that guy is. I don’t think the fine dining world is THAT big & I’m sure word gets around.
@@Keesha_Hardy again it really makes Andrea look horrible, because either she forgot that David abused Carmy (which I seriously doubt), or she thought they could somehow bury the hatchet which is completely idiotic. I don’t know why show runner Chris Storer kept dropping the ball this whole season.
Will you guys ever watch Andor or have you already seen it off screen?
1:27 What? Am I wrong but only income in the next bracket is taxrd no? Like say you make and extra 10k a year and this puts you 5k into the new bracket then doesn't only the this 5k get taxed at the new rate while the rest gets taxed at the old rate? Meaming more money is always just more money?
Getting Whiplash vibes from this episode...
So did Carm even go see Sugar after she had the baby? She kinda just vanished after that episode
People didn't like this season ???? It's one of the best pieces of TV ever the acting 10 the Writing 10 the Shots!!!! 11
will y’all be watching or reacting to the Fairy Tail 100 year/ Century quest?
The Menu reaction? 4:28
I appreciate the season for what it is but i do feel like the whole season they were building towards something and we didnt get much of a payoff. I liked seasons 1 and 2 better but im still excited for season 4
My only real complaints about this season are the Faks - but specifically when they just interact with themselves, they're really funny interacting with a non-fak but when its just them it gets more annoying than funny. Also I think this season had a bit too much "do you remember that time when..." conversations. Overdone. Otherwise I loved the season tho it had some amazing moments and amazing episodes
Lucky this isn't Lip Gallagher. 😂
Hi, I've been a silent subscriber here and I'm just wondering, did you guys doesn't have a reaction to Kaiju No. 8?
I know I watched ur reaction to ep 1 but I don't see any playlist for this anime in ur channel. Did u guys deleted it?
Now that I'm done with the manga I want to watch ur whole reaction to this one. Pls tell me u didn't delete it. 😢
Whiplash moment
PLEASE REACT TO "I PARRY EVERYTHING"
Not a great season but there were some great episodes. The Jon Bernthal episode and the Jamie Lee Curtis one saved it a bit but the whole season felt like failure and stress with no happy ending over the horizon but maybe that's what they were going for.
This season delivered imo but not sure what you were expecting. Though I will be fair and say that like a lot of shows this feels like it's halfway through the season and we're still waiting for second half to drop.
Day 2 of asking yall to react to the umbrella academy
