-One of the reasons I won’t watch The Bear is because I saw a scene where he unironically calls something fire.
-I haven’t heard “fucks” but I’ll go ahead and proclaim it as stupid.
-I hate when people jump out of their seats as soon as the plane pulls up to the terminal. Also, I feel like planes should empty back to front. It’s just courtesy for those who had to sit in the back and fight for overhead storage. -
Fucks has 12 year old still excited to say a swear and still a virgin energy.
Don’t love slaps either.
Fire I don’t care either way.

@Matt yet you should still suck it up and watch the Bear...

@Matt the last shall be first?? Pinko!

@mclaincausey haha. This is exactly how I felt last night when I tried watching it for the first time based on reviews in this thread. The high tension and rapid pace of the plot line development was not doing it for me. I love a series that allows the plot to slowly unfold. That combined with the stupid commercials on Hulu were grating on my nerves. Haha. Morgan says I’m too critical. I can agree with her. I am a very critical viewer.
Guess I have to give it another shot based on McLain’s experience.
Edit: Morgan just informed me she continued watching it without me today. Guess now I’ve got some catching up to do.

Yeah my wife didn’t resume with me. There’s an episode where Richie stages for an elite restaurant modeled after Alinea and it hit home for me on that one.

Try watching it with captions. That will give you a headache. After watching both seasons we went back and rewatched season one and it definitely felt slower the second time around. They never anticipated the popularity of the show and they thought maybe it will appeal to restaurant workers. They wanted it to be as authentic as possible. From what I heard I think they accomplished that.

I'm somewhat convinced those first few episodes are designed to condition the watcher to be able to enjoy that thanksgiving episode...
If you’re talking about The Fishes episode,that’s a traditional Christmas Eve dinner.
-
@pechelman nailed it. And those events and associated trauma are important to the show
-
Oh plenty of emotional vampires

Haha I think diving right into the Fishes episode would be like smoking PCP for your first drug experience. Definitely ease in with some preliminary episodes.
