TV: The Bear

[SugarSherm]

Didn’t see a thread for this. Anyone watch The Bear yet? New show released on Hulu a week ago.

Just finished watching it this morning and I thought it was great. I think Jermey Allen White and Ebon-moss Bachrach were superb in their roles. Not sure if I want a season 2 or not. Not sure where else they would go with it. I’m happy with shows that have one season to tell a story.

We’re three episodes in and I’m really enjoying it. Thought Jeremy Allen White was so good in Shameless and glad he’s getting a chance to lead his own show. Though he needs to get out of Chicago, if this is how he’s always getting treated.

I thought it was fantastic. My wife and I binged it in 2 days. The final episode wasn't my favorite, but overall it was excellent. I have to go back and rewatch ep7. I think the whole episode was one shot and was just brilliant.

Great show, just finished ep 7.

Yes! Episode 7 is definitely the highlight of the season. I gotta rewatch it myself. That episode is what made me look for a thread and ultimately make one.

Just got around to finishing it. I thought it was an exceptional show. One of my favourite seasons of TV to come out so far this year. Think they set up season 2 well.

Among the best things I've seen all year and that's likely to still be the case by the end of they year. Fantastic work across the board, particularly in episode 7 which is among the most stressful watching experiences I've ever had with a movie or TV show. That's really saying something considering this isn't the sort of show with life and death stakes.

The other fantastic thing about episode 7 in particular is that its prolonged single take actually adds to the story and isn't merely a showy camera move. Its an artistic choice that was made because it contributes not simply because it could be done (which I often feel most single take scenes are).

 

[Stylizer1]

Great show.

 

[thinkblue]

Picked up for season 2.

 

[Tuggy]

This will be available on Star (Disney plus) in Canada on August 3rd.

 

[eXile3]

Excellent show. Glad it got renewed. My brother is a Sous Chef and I asked him if it gets that crazy and he said he can confirm there is a lot of swearing.

 

[John Price]

Very accurate depiction of kitchen life.

Will check it out.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

The final episode wasn't my favorite, but overall it was excellent.

I refer to the series of events at the end as the "Deus ex saucina"

Its on my "to watch" list just because I liked Lip in Shameless.

Someone also recommended this show to me today.

 

[John Price]

I just started watching today. This show is amazing.

Would strongly recommend.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Was recently added to Disney+ in Sweden, incredible show! Binged it in 2 days

 

[John Price]

I saw the first 2 episodes then stopped watching. I still like it, so I'm probably going to watch more later.

 

[Senscore]

We are back

 

[trojansoilers]

Love this show! Stumbled upon Season 1 on Disney+ a few months back and I binged it in one night

 

[Senscore]

So happy this show is back.

One of the best shows on tv just gets better, and still remains itself.

 

[izlez]

Yeah, season 1 was absolutely great. Looking forward to season 2

 

[kook10]

I just wish they extended it to 1 hr episodes. The 1/2 hrs seem so short when there is less kitchen frenzy.

 

[trojansoilers]

Caught the first few episodes, Season 2 is great so far!
It feels more like an ensemble show this time around, rather than focusing on Carmy. Season 1 seems more like a prelude to the main story from Season 2 onwards.

Season two was great. Loved the Richie focused episode.

Season two was great. Loved the Richie focused episode.

I watched it as well and thought this season was not as good as the first, but good (not great) nonetheless. I loved the Richie and Copenhagen episodes, but the Christmas episode was more grating than Uncut Gems. And Jamie Lee Curtis was over- the-top in not a good way. Still I look forward to a season 3.
