We've watched up through S2E6 last night. Echo the comments of everyone else, but don't want to ask any questions for fear of the last three eps being spoiled before we watch them.
Lol I feel like so many of us got to episode 6 and were like wow that was so good but I need to take minute.
when we finished it, i immediately took my melatonin, put on my eye mask and laid in the dark with the headspace app to calm down. great tv, but very stressful.

LET IT RIP!!!
Thanks for creating this new thread! I saw EP 6 and 7 yesterday, was such an amazing 1-2 punch. Very different episodes, in pretty much every way conceivable, but both delivered in the biggest way.

I told thejeremy shit like this is why I had nightmares when I waited tables. This reminds me why I am a bartender.

What a delight, I convinced my wife to watch one more tonight because it was the finale...then realized there were 10 episodes, not 9! One more to go tomorrow night. Then I will binge both seasons by myself in the next week or two.
Im still a big fan of Honeydew. With how loud the show usually is, I love how quite the episode is.
I liked both of these episodes more than episode 6. The guest spots were nice surprises and they all delivered spectacularly as did the writing. But seeing Will Poulter and Olivia Coleman were just as nice of surprises and the uplifting tone of these episodes made them more enjoyable to me.
This season is fighting it out with Succession and Beef for my number 1 spot of 2023 so far and we're only halfway done with the year.

This show is the best show in a while. it's so damn good. all the fells throughout are so damn great. totally love this show
episode 7 was better than episode 6. the growth in the last couple episodes overall is so much fun to watch and makes ya feel so good. then they tear your heart out with the missed text messages from the nurse at the end those fucking bastards

I think the ones that have Tina, Richie and Marcus go get better at their respective craft is what makes it really good. The glue to the kitchen needs to get on the level.
Olivia Coleman being Terry was genius because you all assume its another Joe Mchale type person behind it all and its just somebody that loves giving people the best experience.
Although I wonder who screamed at a Piquods pie getting dissected for the sake of a Michelin star though. I hope they didnt throw the rest away?
Also Expo girl def has a crush on Richie and maybe that could go somewhere if in season 3 things go as sideways as you would think and he goes to work at Ever.
This season offered, did, said and showed a lot. We got a Christmas episode of a fucking hour which was epic? for example. The thing I keep thinking about is, that some plots were left a bit to much like that. Tina and Ebra got to culunairy school, but Ebra just quite. And apart from that one scene with Tina, it never really was further explored what and why. Marcus went on this big trip to Denmark and sure, they showed a lot when he was there (the water for the cat was never resolved sadly) but then he just showed up like that and had like 4 desserts ready. I understand 'show, don't tell' but on the other side, there's some side plots I wanted more out of or something? Maybe it was a little bit.. to much stacked in just one season? I don't know, even though the pace of the show felt good with them working towards opening up the restaurant. The whole character switch up of Richie felt also somewhat odd. I understand people can change, but the dude left on a stage for a week in a high end restaurant and came back as a whole different person? Like I understand the mindset change, but it didn't really feel deserved or right? Idk.
Finished S2. Loved it but the biggest thing I’m wondering is how they were they able to afford licensing that many songs? REM, Pearl Jam, Lindsey Buckingham and of course, Taylor Swift on top of all the others. Refused and I think I heard Pixies too? Drew Carey Show is stuck in licensing Hell from ever appearing on streaming while The Bear is dropping 2-3 different songs per episode. Wild.

It's so many more songs than that. In the middle episodes of the season - Sunday, Honeydew, Pop, Fishes - it's like 7-10 songs per episode. The finale is another 10 or so too. It's hard to pick some of them out because of the chaos, but they're there.
They also get mileage out of using a bunch of songs multiple times across multiple episodes (New Noise, Animal, Old Engine Oil, Spiders) and the same artists several times (REM, Budos Band, Wilco, Van Morrison, Kim Deal/The Breeders, The Beach Boys/Brian Wilson, Mavis Staples, Lindsey Buckingham, David Byrne/Brian Eno, The Replacements, Trent Reznor/NIN, Neil Finn, Pearl Jam), so they're probably getting a deal there
But then they still get like,

-ebra story had a sort of shawshank redemption vibe to me. he was used to being one way for so long, he couldn't even deal with changing things up.
-pretty sure the nurse saying call me in the texts at the end was about marcus' mom -assuming him filling the water bowl was just him helping out who's place he was staying at.
-i think it was b/c richie got better perspective of why carmy is the way he is about a specific type of restaurant/chef and why he wanted to change the bear into what he did.
That Jamie Lee scene with Petey in the final episode killed me.
Only thing I didn't like was Claire overhearing Carmy's rant while stuck in the walk-in. I feel like the love interest overhearing or walking in coincidentally at the worst time is an overused trope these days.

Their music supervisor is a fucking wizard
The music is what helps make this show. And is one of the big reasons we all love it so much. I have a feeling that artists are lining up to contribute because they love it too. Just like the actors in episode 6. That can't afford all that talent. Those guys probably all took scale.
