Ep7, Ep4, Ep6. But the entire season was great. I only wished they would have given Ebrahim a little more for his arch like they did for Tina. My favorite arch for side characters is Fak. I hope they don't fall back to him just being the repair guy in season 3.

one thing i love about this episode is how it highlights how marcus takes care of others, expecting nothing in return. he cares so much for his mother - tells her stories, sends her pictures - knowing she can never thank him directly for it. he feeds the cat that he can’t see, and helps an injured stranger who he can barely understand. he’s such a giving person, but by the end, he gets to make something purely for himself.

Something I really think a lot of people missed initially is the detail of the cat, later in the season Carmy talks about feeding a non-existent cat while in Denmark also, I think it could be the way of the show representing Marcus following the steps of Carmy, even if he didnt know yet. Im pretty excited for S3, I think they might have alot planned for Marcus

I think this season focused more on the relationships between the chefs and their families & friends as well as exploring their past

When marcus was struggling with the dessert the chef would say “worse”. Its meant to mean things get worse before they get better. The dessert marcus creates is symbolic of the things we experience makes us who we are

I think it’s even better than that. It’s a criticism(productive) of just *the end product* not that Marcus is bad or worse, it was just focused on the product produced. Nothing more, nothing less and no personal issue. Perfect teaching.

They’re such great episodes. It genuinely stands out when compared to many other shows out there! It hits hard!

I loved this episode! The change of pace was refreshing and it had a very introspective feel to it. I definitely cried when Marcus and the stranger he saved hugged each other. I agree, you could feel that Marcus really needed that hug, that moment of pure human connection. The scene felt like it was saying something about just how dangerous loneliness and isolation can be to a person. Who knows if anyone else would have happened upon the stranger if Marcus hadn't or if they even would have gone to help him. Also, the conversation between Marcus and Luca was so good. I felt like I was really witnessing the beginning of an actual friendship. The Michael Jordan bit was so small but I laughed outright, it was a cute and playful moment between the two chefs.

6:32 I LOVED Luca and Marcus together. I hope he returns in Season 3.

If Season 1 is introduction and set up for The Bear restaurant, season 2 the build up of the restaurant AND the staff, season 3 hopefully should be the ups and downs of running the restaurant. If they want to end the series on a big high note, I can definitely see the last series finale episode of Luca, the staff of Terry's, Donna, and ultimately Carmy's nightmare NYC chef boss trying out this hot upcoming restaurant and putting a very nice bow tie and closure on a series.

This was also the only episode to be directed by someone other than Christopher Storer or Joanna Carlo. It was directed by Ramy Youssef, a Muslim Egyptian-American who has his own 3 season Hulu show aptly titled "Ramy". Christopher Storer has directed some of the episodes on Ramy too.

You forgot one of the most brilliant parts of the episode! When Marcus gets to Copenhagen, was taking in the city, then got to the boat, the Lindsey Buckingham song, "Holiday Road" played in its entirety. That song is from the 80's movie "National Lampoon's Vacation"--a hilarious comedy. So even though there was a lot of depth of emotion--the chaos, the stress, and the sadness--there was a playfulness and lightness happening on his arrival. It was a few minutes of relief before we were brought back to the depth. P.S: I love your videos and appreciate the time and energy you put into them.

I think in the ending explained video you hit on something I didn't really think about and it's Marcus picking up some of Carmy's bad habits, namely putting 100% of his focus into being a chef and not making time for his mother. I think in season 3 we'll either see Marcus slip further down that path or maybe Carmy gets in his ear and tries to steer him away from the same mistakes that he had made.

Sorry if this has been said before. But I feel like Marcus needed the hug because unlike with his mother; who he helps everyday, when he was there for this man in Denmark he helped Marcus actually saves him and had gratification and relief in return because the man was okay after and could carry on. Unlike with his mum who he helps everyday and is there for everyday but he doesn’t have either the gratification and happiness that she’s okay or the relief.

Basically he needed the hug because he’s doing so much for his mum without any hugs from her. I screwed this post up

i keep rewatching honeydew because i love the dough cutting conversation. I feel like its going to help Marcus be free and understand the circumstances with his mother. And when Luca said "I dont know as me tomorrow" about if he regrets anything lives with me.

What beautiful performances. Will Poulter knocked it out of the park. I could happily watch an entire season of these two working and interacting together - though maybe it was so effective because it was such a contrast to the usual chaos and ego plays. Reply

Did Northern Europe give out special pandemic film subsidies or something? I noticed that Ted Lasso had an episode in Amsterdam, Atlanta had an entire season in Amsterdam, and The Bear had an episode in Copenhagen.

I absolutely love The Bear, but have put off season 2 til now, and this is the first episode I followed up with a trip to YT because of how special I felt it was. I think the only thing I would add to what you've already wonderfully explained, is how perfect the dialogue and relationship between Marcus and Luka was written. It would have been so easy (and expected) for there to be strife and abrasion between the two. Perhaps Luka getting frustrated with Marcus or vice versa. But instead we got a perfect balance of constructive criticism along with mutual respect. Chefs often get a rap as being egotistical and brash (and many are), but Luka never elevated beyond the necessary critiquing of Marcus' still green level of experience. To me this is far more powerful than simply creating tension and conflict. looking forward to the remainder of the season!

So many excellents episodes on Season 2 👌

@BrainPilot

Enjoyed the episode, especially the communication between Marcus and Luca. No unnecessary words (as opposed to the narration of this video😉), just clear instructions and noticeable mutual respect instead of an instructor commanding an underling. Did not like that the only encounter of Marcus with an actual Danish person was the one with the drunk who had crashed his bike into a barbed wire fence, and Luca's ugly make-shift tattoos.

In hindsight, this episode shows that Marcus's life is a complete 180° from that of Carmine's, be it professional, private or family.

Don't forget to tip your cooks. Servers just bring food to the table. We do all the work. Why tip the servers? For bringing a dish and drinks? Smfh. Tip the cooks. Everyone should make the same wage and cooks should get the tips if tips are given. South Park creators just did a $30/ph and don't embrace tips. They got it right.

A black man wants to get better . . you gotta get him out of the hood. You have to get him to try new things, meet new people, put value in the world and life. No one wants to talk about that racial element, but it's right there. Afraid to screw up is the weight by which the previous generation that worked hard to give you an opportunity has placed on you. It's a bit heavy to carry that burden, but when it's no longer there - when you are no longer afraid to f*ck up, you grow.

I’m a huge fan of The Bear, but I’m not on board with everyone saying it’s the best TV series out there or a “perfect episode.” Again, great show, but it’s pretty clear the target audience is former restaurant workers. It’s an incredibly accurate portrayal of life in restaurant industry, but it just misses on so many other aspects of Drama.

This video was as boring as that episode.
