Ughhh Pete is too pure for this family but I think he's literally what Natalie needs the most. And his actor had to put SO much into that small performance. Keeping the fact that he saw Donna, that his good natured self, that the Berzatto family ridicules so much, is what ultimately leads him to give Donna permission to leave AND out that they are expecting. Being legitimately proud of his wife and literally everyone who he just wants to like him, not wanting to ruin her night but also trying to give Donna an out from Natalie being upset at her. Dude killed it I hope Pete gets more to do in season 3 and more people start to like him cuz I love him so dang much. Best Side character hands down and Richie has easily become my favorite main character
It's such a tight illustration of Richie's strengths. So much chaos in that episode: his wife was sick, all the Uncle Lee/Michael drama, the Donna drama even before she drove a car through the wall, but years later Richie still remembers this little anecdote because he could tell how much it meant to Uncle Jimmy. His people are important to him, and he's always had that. His time staging in Forks just unlocked a way for him to express it
He also offered Natalie a Sprite before everyone found out she was pregnant. Remember, Sprite helped his wife when she was pregnant. Carmen made one for Tiff, and Richie brought it to her. It was always in Richie.
There's been some agreement among some chefs at the top of their game in the industry that their family life takes a very big hit in exchange for chasing recognition and stars. There's the account of Bernard Loiseau, who probably is the tragic end point of someone who got sucked into it all completely.
@@moonlily1 He would definitely do that if his trauma reaction wasn't to be a people pleaser (perfectionism from wanting to appease his mom). He has a hard time accepting help and love though ("I don't need to receive any amusement or enjoyment"), same as Donna
i cried like an entire child in the scene with pete and donna. like constant tears. and then it continued during his conversation with nat. wow. this season is a 10 out of motherfuckin 10. 10 I TELL YOU!!
My fav character post season 2 is easily Ritchie. The way they wrote his character arc was so perfect and so human, “what’s my purpose?” he asked Carmy in the first episode of S2, then worked at the Michelin 3 Star restaurant, and comes to Carmy afterwords and says, “I understand.” Begins wearing a suit bc it’s his “armor,” and begins to take his role in the new restaurant seriously. And once he got on expo and ran that shit me and my brothers literally started cheering like it was a football game. “Drive.” HE FUCKING KILLED THAT SHIT. And of course the ending w him screaming “I fucking love you” to Carmy was so vulnerable and so real man.
Let's not be too hard on Carmy. He's like 30 years old and he's NEVER had a girlfriend. He's so shut down emotionally he can only do one thing, put every bit of himself into his craft. He doesn't have a clue who he is outside of his job. He isn't really ready for a serious relationship, but that he was able to allow someone to get close and open up as much as he has, that is huge progress for him. This didn't work out right now but it isn't a failure. I feel terrible for Claire though, she's madly in love with a person who doesn't love himself enough to allow himself to be loved. He thinks he doesn't deserve it, but more than that, he thinks that it's just TOO good, and he'll have to pay for it somehow, because everything can't be going well at the same time, it has to be a setup for something awful to happen.
So many times I noticed his deep depression talking. He stopped going to Al-Anon meetings too. He probably didn’t have time but it’s biting him now. It’s so sad.
it's also a reflection of growing up with his mom with (undiagnosed, speculated) bpd. he probably had lots of experiences with the emotions "switching" from happy to sad so fast, as seen in the christmas dinner ep. which may explain he's always waiting for the other shoe to drop when he is happy.
You know what’s hilarious? The guy who plays Fak is an actual professional chef from Canada. He’s playing a guy who’s a mechanic for a kitchen and seems like he would be the worst chef in the show 😂😂😂 my hope is that in a later season they let him start cooking and it’s the biggest underdog story
I work in a kitchen and lately I've been watching the last 4 episodes of this season to help focus after hard days. At least ep 7 and 8. I even had a ritchie style apology with a coworker. Its weird when a show can touch your life
Im so happy i got to rewatch this again with your reaction. I none stop have been recommending this show to EVERYONE. Finally got everyone in my family to watch it and they all thanked me for it. This show is 10/10 this season was perfect. If it doesnt win ANY emmy idk what the world is coming to.
This episode was freaking amazing. I was dying of anxiety like I was there in the kitchen. Crazy how they aced the service but their personal lives were almost crumbling down. Especially Carmy.
I watch a lot of television, and after watching, and re-watching, and re-watching again, I can say that in my mind, that chocolate banana scene was the most satisfying moment in the history of television. I don’t think there’s ever been a scene with a better setup, or more perfectly acted. I’s like, you just totally don’t expect it, and then, all of a sudden here is Richie, doing the most professional, most sentimental thing that he could possibly do for anyone, and it was executed flawlessly. Bravo!
I thought the show should have ended in season 1 as it was a perfect end for the story Like it couldn't become any better as what is left to tell But season 2 proved me wrong Ritchie's character arc was the highlight of this season for me And I dont know if they will get Claire's character back as it could one of those arcs where the love has been sacrificed for the work But I could be wrong Cant wait for s3 to surprise me
It's hard for me to say what the best episode of the bear is so far. Season 1 had episode 7 and 8. Season 2 has episodes 4, 6, 7, 9 and 10. Any of those episodes are contender for best of the show so far. And I agree also, the bear is my pick as the best show on television. For me it was The Sopranos, and then when that ended it was Mad Men and then when that concluded It was Better Call Saul. And now the bear has taken the mantle for me personally from that show
I read that the character of Natalie had more scenes in season 1 as there were a lot of family scenes they decided to cut. They made several other changes in season 1. Carmen had a rage meltdown in like episode 1 or 2 and Sydney shows up in episode 3. 😬 So, they made a lot of positive changes in season 1 before it came out.
Pete crying after his interaction with mom had me in my feels so bad. Such an emotional scene. Such amazing amazing amazing acting! Fak is so dope in a suit. Reminds me of a chubby Post Malone ☺️ A lot of people are rooting for Carm to get with Sydney but I really LOVE what he had with Claire. I hope they don’t screw up the show & ship them just for fan service. I really enjoyed rewatching the show with you. Your reactions are always hilarious! & on point!😅
I think this season also shined a light on why everyone was so rough on Pete last season. Pete is just such a nice and caring guy. Because, of all these people's family trauma they don't how to properly process that. They feel uncomfortable around geniue niceness and default to defensiveness. It's sad really. But, it also shows why Sugar is with him and why their relationship really works. She really needed a guy like Pete and God bless him for trying his best with this crazy family. He is a saint.
Pete-Donna scene got me as well. Brilliant acting. And I enjoyed Claire as well. I do not read romantic energy with Syd and Carm though. I think they played on those expectations especially with under the table scene, but subverted it and it was about them as a working team and their love for food and creativity. I just don’t see them going there. And I think Claire has to return even if they don’t get them back together. That scene was not closure in my mind. Of course that could be wishful thinking and the chapter is closed with her, she is so heartbroken 💔
The Bear is up as a comedy, so it doesn’t conflict with Succession. It does conflict with Ted Lasso and Barry, though - and while TL has been a huge favorite of mine, this show has completely won my heart. But! Let’s keep in mind this year’s ceremony involves season one, not two. The timing is so weird. So no JLC nomination yet (she def deserves one).
totally with you! This season was phenomenal and between this and succession idk who to root for at the Emmys!!! carm and claire also ripped my heart out as well
Notice from the scene where Mrs Mumma Berzato comes to visit, the music changes to a somber tone for the rest of this episode. It was class! Best show ever
It’s a 9 Inch Nails song. It starts with Donna and flows into Carmen’s unfortunate fridge scene. It ties together the parallel, of Donna and Carmy that Richie eventually verbalizes. Really well done.
Loved her. And they were both crushing on each other over the years. Carmy fighting against it is unnatural and we see the results. I think what she was going for was someone who was so into someone else and waited so long to show it. I can see the other side where people see it as creepy, but for me her portrayal is cute
@@Lubbylove89 she brought the calm to Carmy, he was starting to be a better person and more trying to be happy, but Sydney and his uncle was putting the pressure on him, that he needed to focus, and that Sydney needed the attention from him at all times, which is unhealthy, she didn’t like that Claire helped him decide to go with her plates, which is crazy, she wanted to make all the decisions herself, even though she wasn’t footing the bill

Can definitely see people relating to Carmy at the end of this episode, thinking something real & good might not be something they deserve

The Chocolate Banana is a story he told them about his dad during dinner in episode 6.
Awesome call back. This show was unreal. So great.
Thanks for clearing that up!

It was always in Richie.
that mom scene was so heartbreaking what a finale i cant wait for season 3
The fact they aced the service but the characters personal lives have almost seemed traded for it is what hurts

There's the account of Bernard Loiseau, who probably is the tragic end point of someone who got sucked into it all completely.
You know Richie calling him Donna had to hurt him cause it had a little truth to it 😂 great episode
Well....he does have a hard time accepting love and allowing people to help him. can't see him driving a car through the house though.
@@moonlily1 He would definitely do that if his trauma reaction wasn't to be a people pleaser (perfectionism from wanting to appease his mom). He has a hard time accepting help and love though ("I don't need to receive any amusement or enjoyment"), same as Donna
Richie was right on what he said to Carmy when he was stuck in the fridge. Completely.
i cried like an entire child in the scene with pete and donna. like constant tears. and then it continued during his conversation with nat. wow. this season is a 10 out of motherfuckin 10. 10 I TELL YOU!!
Cried like a baby almost the entire episode, everything triggered me after the Donna and Pete scene 😢
I did too!!! This season brought so many emotions out of me. It’s kind of unexplainable! Loved every single episode!
My fav character post season 2 is easily Ritchie. The way they wrote his character arc was so perfect and so human, “what’s my purpose?” he asked Carmy in the first episode of S2, then worked at the Michelin 3 Star restaurant, and comes to Carmy afterwords and says, “I understand.” Begins wearing a suit bc it’s his “armor,” and begins to take his role in the new restaurant seriously.

13:55 Interesting how Donna wants others to tell her "it's okay" but would go berserk if one asks her if she's okay.
10/10...all the performances, STELLAR. A genius gem of a show.
100% agreed
Honestly the fridge guys name doesn't matter because that's not why he couldn't call him. He had him saved as fridge guy anyway.
Let's not be too hard on Carmy. He's like 30 years old and he's NEVER had a girlfriend. He's so shut down emotionally he can only do one thing, put every bit of himself into his craft.

Jamie Lee Curtis was insane in The Bear. Her best performance by far
i need seasons 3, 4, 5 and however many more they want to make on my desk by yesterday. this show is incredible.
This episode is like if your childhood hero came to visit you, gives you the biggest hug, then gut punches you before leaving
You know what’s hilarious? The guy who plays Fak is an actual professional chef from Canada. He’s playing a guy who’s a mechanic for a kitchen and seems like he would be the worst chef in the show 😂😂😂 my hope is that in a later season they let him start cooking and it’s the biggest underdog story
He prepares all the food on the show too.
Honestly I hope they utilize him more in the next season that will come as a surprise almost like supernatural of a gift that Fak has lol

I've loved watching your reactions to this show! it's just so good
Thank you!
I love both seasons and dread the long wait in between
Hopefully they can stick to a season a year or something

Thanks for watching! Agreed on it being a 10/10!
One of the best tv shows we have at the moment and probably of all time. Its so….. so real

This will be nominated in comedy categories. So thankfully Succession is safe lol

All the walk ins Ive ever been in had an open button from within....biggest pothole
I think even the creator admitted this but said it was a plot device. Theater of the mind. But could be that inside release is broken as well.
Thank you for these!
My pleasure! Thank you for watching them

It was a one take up to Richie driving
totally with you! This season was phenomenal and between this and succession idk who to root for at the Emmys!!! carm and claire also ripped my heart out as well
I love this show! And I love your reactions since Succession 😂😊
I’m so devastated I got thru it so quick and have to wait 😏 I did this w/Yellowjackets too. Enjoy your recaps
Carmy and Claire was never going to work out. It was doomed from the start.
I was trying to figure out the song that plays in the kitchen the whole episode too! I really want that track!
yep me too, most shows ppl ask, who is that? and it ends up being radio head
The song when Richie goes into his zone while expediting the food is "Animal" by Pearl Jam.
You should watch _Interview with the Vampire_ -- great series.
almost every character levels up EXCEPT for Carmy! That's such a smart build-up for season 3
I can't wait aaaa and they swept the Emmys lmaoo
I think that sydney has the same thing her mom had😓😢
Don’t say that 🥺🥺🥺 all that medicine in the medicine cabinet at her house 🫣🫣🫣🥺🥺🥺noo!
🥺
Pls don’t say that I would be so upset 😭
honestly for me Claire was not a big deal idk if she gonna be there for season 3 but if she doesn't i do not care ..
“How have you fumbled Claire ,bro”
I said the exact same thing
Wait -- does this mean Joe has _Doctor Who_ reactions?
Notice from the scene where Mrs Mumma Berzato comes to visit, the music changes to a somber tone for the rest of this episode.
It was class! Best show ever

God Claire deserves the boot I don’t want her in S3 at all she’s creepy imo
Same

Really? I thought she was a sweet character. I actually enjoyed watching them together. She brought a bit of calm to the chaos on the show.
