@@youcantseemychin3668 I mean that is great but the episode right after "Forks" is the true masterpiece of that season. Richie deserved that character arc so much.
i was legit gasping at lines of dialogue in the first episode JUST LIKE YOU - i popped so hard for "then why didnt he leave it to you" and "i didn't go the the funeral either" because the WEALTH of character behind those lines was amazing. also, ritchie is han solo
Ritchie being Han Solo might be one of the greatest calls off of watching a pilot I've seen. But the writing in the Bear is just so damn fantastic. I should re-watch it for the third time.
I've seen this series twice now, and I JUST noticed while watching this that Carmy throws out the can of tomato sauce at the end both as a display of him committing to his vision, (vague spoiler) AND it's the best season finale foreshadowing I've ever seen in a pilot.
The Bear is such an amazing show but the writing is like too good. I can't sit down and watch a full episode without feeling like I'm about to have a panic attack the whole time because of how well it portrays the stress and anxiety of Carmine
7:20 that’s the Noma cookbook. The scene gives you just enough time to read the spine. Noma is arguably one of the best restaurants in the world and the recipes in that book are insane. Pretty much the fundamental opposite of what you want to do in a sandwich shop. Of course you don’t need to know this. But having this book at home, this was one of the details that drew me into the show. Btw, later you can see Marcus working with the Noma fermentation handbook (orangey cover) and Carmy telling anecdotes about a recipe. So to me it is heavily implied that he actually worked at Noma.
@@potapotapotapotapotapotayes but no but yes. They heavily reference world class dining throughout the show, though the shows plot and its characters are all completely fictional.
What hooked me on the show was the atmosphere. I worked in food service for two years. I had to get out. I can't handle that kind of stress. It wasn't good for me. What this pilot did for me most of all, was capture that panic stress of restaurant life perfectly. It did it in cinematography and editing and set and sound design. And then the first episode was done. 20 perfect intense stressful minutes. The other stuff, the characters and the relationships, really didn't grab me until a few episodes later, when there was space to breathe and people stopped yelling for a second. But the atmosphere, the environment, was so perfect and so right and familiar, I had to keeo watching. That sense of being thrown into the middle of a stressful situation and having to put it together on the fly? That is what working in food service feels like. You walk in at the start of your shift and everything is a mess and there are 50 things for you to do and you just have to figure it out. Even if you open, the closers left the place a mess last night and you have a limited amount of time to fix it and get ready for customers. This show designs its story to fit its atmosphere. And then it fills it with magnificent character arcs.
100% I got flashbacks to working hospitality food service. They capture that very specific type of stress and the personalities that gravitate towards it perfectly.
I've had several jobs in food service and while it is somewhat stressful, some places are definitely different than others. For example I worked at as a cook at Panera and it was pretty easy and also boring, but being a server was more stressful and fun to me, I don't like being bored or feeling like I'm not contributing. And now I work for Uber Eats which has an element of customer service that some people aren't able to handle, but I think it's easy and it's nice that you can make your own schedule.
i wish i could see the bear s1 & s2 for the first time again, You got alot of feels to feel, especially season 2 dude, i think its a perfect season with two of the best episodes ive ever seen on tv. Would not mind your analysis on each episode in season 2 tbh because theyre all so goddamn excellent
@@lowhc no I genuinely didn’t like the show, didn’t like the acting, charecters were boring, it’s nothing like Working in a kitchen, watch boiling point with Stephen graham if you want a real kitchen feel… soo many shows better than it
@@SimonBuchanNzi really hope this can reach a proper ending soon. There is no reason this story should have any more drama past season 3 or AT BEST season 4. If they want to give the characters decent and good endings, then it needs to end soon, but if they go with the depressing route it can go up tp like 6-7 seasons
I watched the first episode a couple of weeks ago and had to pause it halfway through to count off all the pieces of information we'd been given. Not only is thr exposition very elegant, there's also a shit ton of it. A jaw dropping pilot.
this is the best pilot i’ve ever watched. the entire show, season to season, amazing. there’s an episode in season two where its entire christmas dinner: AKA the other BEST episode of the show in my opinion. everything links together if you watch it all and there’s things you didn’t even notice or think was important that ends up being important later. WATCH THIS WHOLE SHOW. i binged it in two days and it was amazing
HANDS!! HANDS! I needs hands... to gently hold me through the emotional journey and brain explosion involved in Ben from Canada analyses that makes me love things to an even more absurd degree.
THIS! This is the best video essay episode analysis I have EVER seen. I watched your video on Tenet when I came out and you sold me on what makes that movie so great, the score. And ever since I’ve been listening to movie scores. I just watched season 1 of The Bear this week and your comparison to Star Wars and the pilot of The Bear is so spot on. You got a knack for this homie keep it up!
Watched the first episode yesterday. And the second, and the third. Such a great series. Also makes me really appreciative of the people who work hard at restaurants to prepare our food.
BEN this is brilliant, man. An excellent take and I already want to see videos analyzing more of the season/season 2! You're in for such a great time, and I hope you share more of your thoughts with us!
I seriously hope we can get a follow up video once you finish a season because it’s not just the first episode that has this level of intricacy to it and I love the way you decipher it!
This breakdown is fantastic and captures everything awesome about this show... And I really am in awe how you got so much right after only watching the first episode. Thank you for making yet another brilliant video.
I rewatched episode 1 of sometime after I finished Season 2 to get a hit of Nostalgia. So many things I missed the first time that gave me alot more answers. Also when Carmen chucked that Canned Tomato at the end, made me go like "Hell Yeah". Rewatching it just made me had meltdown that'd rival Richie's
God dammit Ben, I am so excited that you're about to experience this show for the first time. I get so pumped when I am aware that literally ANYONE is watching it or the first time, even strangers on the Internet that I have never and will never meet. I am of the mind that it is one of the greatest TV shows ever made, and I have no doubt that you'll agree by the time you're caught up. Have fun with it! Can't wait to hear your further thoughts once you've seen more.
The best part about this video is how it'll have the obligatory follow up of how right we're Ben's predictions. Hopefully that'll blow out to an hour plus long form breakdown of the entire show if any of us are lucky. Good to see you making your own content again Ben!
I love this show. It makes you wanna watch more while making you feel the anxiety of working in a high intensity situation. The character work and the acting all draw you in and make a great story.
Please follow up with this show again after you've seen the rest. I worked in this industry for 6-7 years and it is so true to what it is really like, it was kind of scary... but the heart in this show is second to none, and was honestly so good it made me nostalgic for a time that was very intensive and high stress.
i hope you've watched more and are enjoying! your level of understanding from one episode is also insane. like, i know the show is the one with layers, but it takes effort to peel them back and not everyone would do that for a pilot!! the star wars analogy is so good i yelled YES when you said who syd and cousin represented
I saw Ebon Moss-Bachrach in Andor, and there was something compelling about his onscreen presence. Felt like I had to find other projects he was in, and is probably the only reason I found The Bear... Aaaaand what a find it was. 10/10. I hope that you, too, will love all of it.
I feel like USA shows of the 2010s started this trend in a way. Both Psych and Burn Notice did drop you right in the action, and explained a little bit, but centered more around the plot line of the single episode than leave too many question open
Omg I can't believe how perfectly your words encapsulated my love of this show and after you only watched one episode! Surprising to see this came out only 2 days ago! You really reminded me how great it was, and now I need to go watch season 2! And here I thought it just spoke to me since I worked in kitchens and was extremely biased.
I absolutely believe you haven't finished the show yet lol (also, the knife was Carmy's, Tina just hid it to mess with him) but that's a great analysis! I obviously love The Bear for the same reasons you showed but I never stopped to think of it as... Star Wars. And IT MAKES TOTAL SENSE! Great video, dude
Great to have another video! I've not watched The Bear but I loved all your previous videos so had to give this a watch. It makes me interested in giving The Bear a chance when I wasn't interested previously.
I CANNOT describe how much I ADORE Richie’s character. Season 2 Forks episode goes down as my favorite episode to ever exist in any show I’ve ever watched. I love this series.
as a culinary student and huge story nerd watching the bear was so good, it does my personal favorite thing of focusing on something that is kind of mundane. Cooking, the kitchen and the things that happen in restuarants and makes it feel real and exciting and i get to eat it all up. There is an episode in the second sesason that is like an hour long and it was maybe my favorite thing ive ever seen and i hope you watch the rest of this show and maybe make a video on that episode. Good Video keep it up
omg I _wish_ I could watch The Bear again for the first time. You have so many brilliant episodes ahead of you. Also, never expected to come away from a 'The Bear is Star Wars' comment with a 'you know what? I see what you mean' before this video lol.
This was a really nice and engaging analysis of the first episode. You seem to really like it. I feel you really looked at the important details and were really engaged in understanding why it was so engaging
Subscribed just because of this video - the way you talk about the episode is so engaging and I love seeing an "outsider"-perspective on a show I love. I would LOVE for you to make more and more videos on this series as you get through it, whether that's through an every-episode analysis, end of season video, or select episode analysis's. Can't wait to see your thoughts!
So glad you’ve returned to doing these. Great video, excellent choice as well. Love it! Feeling inspired to try get back on the video wagon myself after a little crisis of confidence/time break 😅👍🏻
I randomly watched your video about tenant and I loved your perspective. First watching I was immediately hooked into what you talk about during your video, not just being serious on symbolism and camera shots and everything else which I enjoy but you did it in a way that is super fun! Love the videos keep kicking ass! you break it down like , on how I watch movies and what im saying in my head!
I hope to see a few more videos from you about the Bear! I really enjoy your point of view and the Bear was probably one of the better shows I have seen recently. The Arcs are amazing and sometimes very surprising.
Binge watched it yesterday and was brilliant. I was in culinary school and worked manny years in kitchens and something i tend to dislike in series is that kitchens and restaurants are rarely portrayed properly, the set ups tend to be just another working place were everything is fine, everyone is doing their part, everything runs well... Anyone who worked in a kitchen knows that you are ALWAYS 1 mistake away from a shitshow. But i also think the series do a great job portraying the food as something that unite people, once in the table everyone eats the same and is very rewarding to share the bread with someone you love. Excellent work.
I watched this with my family. I loved the editing and shot composition. My daughter loved the character growth and my wife the drama. We were all able to really enjoy this show in completely different ways
This reminds me of another good UA-cam series where someone watches the first and last episode of a long running tv show. It was a nice gimmick you making this video only after the first episode, and putting in your theories!
I was just checking your channel the other day like, man, I hope I didn't miss any new videos from Ben from Canada. Then you post a video about the bear!
This video f-ing killed it. Great work. The rest of the series has soo much to talk about cinematically/story wise. Can’t wait for more follow up videos.
hands down. one of the best youtube videos ive seen. its like you made a bear episode abt the bear in your own style. when you whispered "thats what i just said" i felt like sitting there with you being just as excited as you. well done.
Spot on dude, I can’t wait to hear your take on the rest of the series. You’ve already hit the nail on the head. Love the comparison to Star Wars; two of my favorites!
Genuinely interested to see the follow up once you've watched the rest of the show! There's an episode in the second season that is one of the most stressful hours of television I think I've ever watched. You'll know it when you see it, and I feel like that'll work as a great compliment to this since it fills a lot of the narrative gaps the show leaves with its style, but delivers it all in the same frantic, organic fashion that makes you retroactively understand a LOT about why people behave they way they do.
Yo I needed to catch up and this was the most epic break down ever and your kick ass!!!!!! And the Star Wars reference dude your hellla amazing seriously you rock!
I'm glad I found your channel, Ben. I only see you when the weekly planet talks about making you do intricate editing. Great video man, definitely got a new subscriber.
Cannot wait for you to discover the rest of this show. please do an update video when you finish. I would love to see your breakdown of *that* episode. Love u too x
GOD, im so happy this showed up on my feed. This video couldve have been 3x longer and i still wouldve relished every second. I hope you continue analyzing the series!
the way that you used clips of jon bernthal to symbolize throwing an asshole in to create conflict in the bear when he plays An Asshole That Creates Conflict in this show without even knowing it... whoa
An episode so good it brought Ben outta hibernation 😂
Agreed. My fave editor on Mr Sunday and I am so grateful he has branched out.
I see what you did there.
Right!?!
Hell yeah! Benny the Canada is back and with a video about my favorite show?! This is Christmas for me!
He’s from Canada he was hiding from the cold
Completely forgot that Carmy ALMOST opened the tomato can in the beginning... that's some strong retrospective irony
Omg !!! You’re right !!! The whole text makes that Amazing
they probably lost a little bit of the money his brother left behind because of that lol
oh what the. i just got that!! fooooock! thanks for fuzzing my brain, wuah!!
there’s also a moment in s1 e7 where it looks like the fridge door might close on carmy… god damn
wow christ yeah!! how different would things of been.
I would pay good money just to watch Ben break down every episode of this phenomenal show
I would legit become a patron for this.
Right, this is one of the first videos about analyzing media that I’ve actually been engaged in totally
Would pay good money just for him to slow down..
Please do this Ben
YES PLEASE
You'll be happy to hear the writing only gets better from here. Haven't been invested in the characters in a show as much as this in a while.
The Bear sucked me in like hardly any show before it.
That one episode of S2... O.O
You mean the Christmas Dinner? damn@@InigoPhentoya

as someone who was just thrown into a management position in a restaurant, can confirm
Been there. I totally understand it

I hope to see a few more videos from you about the Bear! I really enjoy your point of view and the Bear was probably one of the better shows I have seen recently. The Arcs are amazing and sometimes very surprising.
Ive been on the fence about watching The Bear for a while, but this video just pushed it to the top of my watch list. Happy to see a new Ben video.
Fantastic video, Ben! I need to go back and re-watch season one again.
Binge watched it yesterday and was brilliant. I was in culinary school and worked manny years in kitchens and something i tend to dislike in series is that kitchens and restaurants are rarely portrayed properly, the set ups tend to be just another working place were everything is fine, everyone is doing their part, everything runs well... Anyone who worked in a kitchen knows that you are ALWAYS 1 mistake away from a shitshow. But i also think the series do a great job portraying the food as something that unite people, once in the table everyone eats the same and is very rewarding to share the bread with someone you love. Excellent work.
I watched this with my family. I loved the editing and shot composition. My daughter loved the character growth and my wife the drama. We were all able to really enjoy this show in completely different ways
This reminds me of another good UA-cam series where someone watches the first and last episode of a long running tv show. It was a nice gimmick you making this video only after the first episode, and putting in your theories!
I got shivers from “Heard, Chef.” holy shit I’m watching this show right now
the king is back!
...and damn, looks like I gotta watch The Bear, huh
I was just checking your channel the other day like, man, I hope I didn't miss any new videos from Ben from Canada. Then you post a video about the bear!
This video f-ing killed it. Great work. The rest of the series has soo much to talk about cinematically/story wise. Can’t wait for more follow up videos.
this is my first video of yours and I already love you
hands down. one of the best youtube videos ive seen. its like you made a bear episode abt the bear in your own style. when you whispered "thats what i just said" i felt like sitting there with you being just as excited as you. well done.
PLEASE make more videos on The Bear, you are going to love this series
amazing analysis
Fantastic analysis! I would love to see you do more episodes of the bear!
9:30 that bread advice is legit
Was planning to watch this, now I definitely have to watch it. Thanks so much for getting me hyped for the Bear 🐻
Ben!! Such a great vid! Also, you are gonna love the first episode even more when ya finish the first season!!!!
Spot on dude, I can’t wait to hear your take on the rest of the series. You’ve already hit the nail on the head. Love the comparison to Star Wars; two of my favorites!
Genuinely interested to see the follow up once you've watched the rest of the show! There's an episode in the second season that is one of the most stressful hours of television I think I've ever watched. You'll know it when you see it, and I feel like that'll work as a great compliment to this since it fills a lot of the narrative gaps the show leaves with its style, but delivers it all in the same frantic, organic fashion that makes you retroactively understand a LOT about why people behave they way they do.
This was an excellent take on the first episode, and you were spot on about how it went from there!
Yo I needed to catch up and this was the most epic break down ever and your kick ass!!!!!! And the Star Wars reference dude your hellla amazing seriously you rock!
"This feels like episode 4" hahaha. Also this video is very well edited holy crap
You’re back! Can’t wait to see you do more video essays. Especially about Richie or even the Denmark episode.
I'm glad I found your channel, Ben. I only see you when the weekly planet talks about making you do intricate editing. Great video man, definitely got a new subscriber.
Cannot wait for you to discover the rest of this show. please do an update video when you finish. I would love to see your breakdown of *that* episode. Love u too x
GOD, im so happy this showed up on my feed. This video couldve have been 3x longer and i still wouldve relished every second. I hope you continue analyzing the series!
I watched this after watching the first episode and I’m so glad I did
the way that you used clips of jon bernthal to symbolize throwing an asshole in to create conflict in the bear when he plays An Asshole That Creates Conflict in this show without even knowing it... whoa
Your analysis of the bear is perfect! Hoping to see more analysis from you in the future!
i truly think, if the show keeps this level consistent, it will be an all time classic
