[No Quarter]

I loved it.

It is one of my favourite shows at this point.. so I look at it with rose coloured glasses. It perhaps lacked a little, but there was some definite gems within it.

The first episode, the Tina episode and the Jamie Lee Curtis episode all ring as pretty good to me.

Hopefully release for S4 won't be too far!

Tina episode was great, the rest was a bit 'meh' personally. The draw of the show (for me) was always the kitchen action, having worked in hospo for a number of years. This season didn't really have any of that. Definitely felt very filler and like it should have been done as every 2nd episode as a flashback, with the intervening episode giving us some kind of progression for the kitchen / restaurant.

Hopefully season 4 gives us some kitchen action, otherwise it'll end up yet another one of those shows I never quite finished despite loving it to start e.g; Killing Eve and Handmaid's Tale

Yeah nothing really happened in that season except a bunch of montages.

 

[Frank Bunn]

It's amazing, Episode 7 is a masterpiece, I can't remember breathing the entire episode.

I'm late to this show but will binge to catch up. Sometimes I don't love the characters and all the shouting but the writing, acting and production are top notch.

I was part way through episode 7 when I thought to myself "is this all one continuous take?" So I started again and it was, or at least they faked it so it looked real. They did it one time in Succession and it seems to get the actors to raise their game. The film crew also have to be at their best to get the camerawork, lighting and sound just right.

Carmy is sad. Montage.

Carmy misses his ex. Montage.

Carmy has trauma. Montage.

Carmy studied how to cook in Europe. Montage.

As negative as I have been about Season 3 in here, it was still enjoyable despite being slightly disappointing, I am looking forward to Season 4. Expecting a big improvement over last.

Has Disney+ dropped the entire season at once? Might smash out a few eps tonight.

 

[AFDogs]

Can confirm the first two episodes were good and not montage filled and over dramatic like S3.

 

[Gasometer]

This is a struggle

Up to Ep 5

Disappointing agains to me. Over sentimental this season and it just dragged at times. The scene under the table ep 7 was frustratingly far too long. Barely saw Bear cook at all during the season. Three minute pasta ..ok I get it. Season 1 & 2 were brilliant but last two big dip

This is a struggle

Up to Ep 5

Great. I'd actually be happy to skip it altogether after last season but will have to sit through it soon.

It’s just slow

So slow

Cheers. I'll make sure my phone is handy.

Ep 5,6 and 7 are great and 7 is close to the pick of the season so far. It’s just so well written and acted

Make up your mind!

 

[Gasometer]

Make up your mind!

It picks up in 5 onwards

Spoiler: Finale

Is it? That is an open ended finale. Has not been renewed for S5. FMD fml

 

[Warsaw]

Does the Bear love itself a little too much, yeah probably. But honestly I still **** with it.

Season 3 and 4 definitely feels like 1 season stretched into two, but thought there was a tighter focus on 4 and it progressed nicely. Scallop, Worms and Tonnato amongst my favourites.

It's strange that nothing's been said. And think it's more if they still want to keep making it rather than it getting the axe. Goodbye works as a series finale, but equally possible than it comes back or even comes back without Jeremy. Hoping for more at any rate.

 

[AFDogs]

I'm a bit bored. This show is a little too pretentious for me. Up to Episode 5 but I think I'll push through with it.

Get me back to the chaos of the sandwich bar in Season 1.

I’d be surprised if there isn’t a Season 5 at some stage. Just might be a while as the 3 main stars have got kinda busy.

Spoiler: Episode 7

Well they swerved us and eluded to a chaotic shit show of a wedding and it ended up being extremely wholesome. Good decision by the creators. Best ep of the season so far probably.

 

[Beerfish]

Watched the first 5 last night. Really enjoying it so far. Haven't found it slow at all. Haven't had to look at the phone once.

 

[Soups]

I’ll go against the grain a little bit and reckon it’s been a good season. Better than S3 by a long way. The wedding episode was excellent and episode 9 was gut wrenching and uncomfortable, but loved it.

 

[Beerfish]

Finished last night. I actually thought the wedding episode was the most boring although i understand why it needed to happen. I kept asking myself why was Clare there? Why was she invited? Was she anything other than Carm's ex to anyone?

Anyway I thought the season was on par with the first for the most part. Reasonable ending. Let's hope that'll do pig (bear).

It's pretty well documented they all grew up together and are connected through the Bearzanos.

Reasonable ending. Let's hope that'll do pig (bear).

They renewed a Season 5 today. So it's not finished.
