The Bear – Season 3, Episode 1

How pumped was I when HULU announced they were releasing all of the episodes for season 3 of The Bear, 3 hours early. This is a show that I watched for the third time as soon as summer started and while I was in Hilton Head, I watched the first season a 4th time as I watching the 2nd season a 3rd time. So sufficed to say I am excited to sit down and watch this new season. I also read today they are also filming season 4 directly after 3 so that is good news too.

To start this first episode of season 3, you are flashing back to many of Carmy’s moments that we lived or were told about throughout the first 2 seasons. Not a lot of words, just music, sounds and beautiful motions. Hell, watching Carmy wipe a table is poetic.

You watch Carmy move to New York and work in the many kitchens that he did to learn his craft. He chops onions, slices fish, picks peas, choose flower petals, prepare dishes, and clean, clean, clean, all beautifully. As well as living through some of the bigger moments in his life before and after New York.

You really need to know about seasons 1 and 2 while watching this, so if you didn’t go back and stressfully enjoy seasons 1 and 2 before starting season 3. Olivia Colman, Joel McHale, Jon Bernthal are simply perfect for their roles in this show. What a beautiful way to start off this season of The Bear, the montage of work Carmy does is simply amazing.

What a beautifully edited episode of television. Perfection. I imagine that editing this episode was as difficult as some of the dishes Carmy had to make as he was learning to be a chef. Again, perfection.
