“Taylor Swift doesn’t send copyright strikes, you’ll just get hit with a plane” LMFAO that’s the hardest I’ve laughed on this channel since the sweaty spaghetti scene in Succession
Copyright strike more like drone strike 😅
absolutely insane statement i love maple
Thought I heard plague lol
Probably the most emotional episode of TV I watched last year. Watching Richie fall back in love with life was incredible
Did you watch The Last of Us?
@@roems6396 Yeah, but I’ve played the game before so a lot of the emotional beats I was prepared for and didn’t hit so hard. Still love it though; episode 3 was incredible, but I still think Forks takes it.
@@flightdub6056 What do you recommend the show or the game.
@@seya_2I would watch the show first! You can start off enjoying it on an entertainment level and then immerse yourself into the game and the story that really started it all. The show also changes a couple things and it more or less improves the game by doing it, so when you play the game it’ll be way more like “ah-ha!” ya digg?
Fishes is such an intense and impressive episode all the way through (probably more so than any other ep) but Forks feels like the heart of the show, truly great television.
One of the best episodes of tv in at least a decade. The progression of Ritchie feels so natural and emotional. He finally realizes his purpose.
Just say ever. It's still true.
The photo of Luca and Carmy.... the guy who thought he was the best and the guy that was better.
bruh 🤯🤯🤯
OH MY GOD!!!!!
Olivia Coleman knocking it out of the park in a single scene🔥 My favorite episode, love this for Richie.
She's so incredible, steals every single scene she's in. Doesn't matter if it's comedic or dramatic.
@@MrCrockaG She's a fucking living legend. Incredible actress and, based off her Oscar speech and every single interview of hers I've watched, a genuinely sweet person.
i love this ep.. this brings back memories when i was at my worst times of my life, homeless, no money, no car, no phone, no support, no hope.. i always wanted to be a chef growing up, used to pass this restaurant, until i got the guts to walk in for a job.. i sat down with the exc chef and told him i nvr went to school, i don't have no kitchen experience, i cant cook for shit.. but what i do have is the last bit of fight in me to make this count and will do whatever it takes.. chef put me to the test, washed dishes, scrubbed every inch of the kitchen, chucked hundreds of oysters, cleaned fishes, killed lobsters, cleaned the walk in, waking up at 5am and leaving at 1am almost everyday for 3yrs.. chef comes in one day with a brand new crisp white chef coat.. i almost cried.. fast forward, traveled the states cooking and still learning from great chefs and doing what i love.. every minute counts fam, let it rip
Love to hear this. I'm glad that chef gave you a chance and you're in a better place now! Every second counts, chef!
8:33 she's an expo, food expeditor. One of the toughest jobs in the kitchen and can sink a whole service if done incorrectly. Gotta read tickets to keep dish counts and time everything.
I was just coming to say this
In quick service (fast food) that's called 'running the post', you are the one point of contact between the frontline/drive thru, and the kitchen, and usually you're the one receiving/stacking/prioritizing/packaging orders and handing them off to the customer or staff delivering them. Usually that was ran by the shift manager, and yes doing it wrong will absolutely sink everything. Doing it right and things are quick and easy, you're planning ahead, you have timers running on things, it's how I can tell if a restaurant is being ran well or not.
Him still wearing the ring while getting that phone call. I know it is obvious, but still just shows how much he has not let go
This season deserves SOOOOO many awards. Between the cinematography, lighting, framing and shots, to the acting of Jamie Lee Curtis (Donna Berzatto) in the FISHES episode and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Richie) in this episode, the season deserves more praise.
After I saw Fishes, I thought it would be my favorite episode of television that year, and then they followed it up with Forks. Even better. Just as good as writing can get. Period.
Forks and Honeydew were the season highlights for me
This is an amazing palate cleanser after the Christmas episode. So great to see Richie's true potential. Fak getting repeatedly electrocuted was so fun!
And chef Jess was definitely smitten, right?
I wouldn't mind if she came back in season 3, for Richie or just because. Same goes for Garrett, Chef Terry, and Chef Luca. The supporting characters in this season were so great. Jess did look back though!
Pushes up glasses: technically you’re not electrocuted unless you die from it, etc. etc. 🤓
@@pabloc8808 I think they will all definitely come back when it's publically open cause they all know each other and it'll be like high stakes friends and family and making sure they get the perfect dish. These people will probably be proud of changing Ritchie and seeing how far he's changed
She did come back for S3, and honestly? It felt like they **were** setting up a thing between Richie and Jess.
Let it rip Ritchie.
LET HIM COOK!
I swear, we've all had that moment where you've accomplished something and that ride home is so freeing, you just have to sing out loud with a fat smile 😁 loved this episode 👏🏽
Just the two people having a conversation, several times in this episode, were just amazing moments in each. Especially the last one.
personally this is my favorite episode of the whole series, can’t wait for this one! 🙌🏼❤️
Richie's baby momma is the voice actress for Eve in Invincible btw. Not sure if you guys mentioned it before or not! Loved her work ever since Community.
Oh, Britta’s in this?
Bahahaha the Dean is my favorite character! @@flightdub6056
Gillian Jacobs!
Richie's growth is so inspirational and motivational! I fuckin love it.
I also love how every second counts turns from an ominous bust your ass phrase to cherish every moment
My favorite episode so far. There is such a Zen quality to having Ritchie polish forks. Watching Ritchie's heart break when his ex told him she was remarried was brilliant. The order and discipline f the staff is not lost on Richie, and that is going to be a huge plus for The Bear.
Forks is my favorite episode of the bear. The use of Taylor Swift here is so perfect. It triggers emotions in me. Every time I watch it. It feels like the definition of what it feels like to see somebody truly realize their purpose in their life.
One of the best episodes so far, imo. Richy has to see that he has worth, too. That everybody in the kitchen matters. Without the chef, it falls apart. Without the dishwasher, it falls apart. Without the guy who just polishes forks? It falls apart. That he matters.
But then his self-sabotaging/self-esteem kicks in. He's only there as punishment... Carmie just needed Richy out of the way... I thought I was doing a good job but they don't want me... So on and so forth. All sorta stemming from his ideas about Carmie and his perceived worth in "Mr Hotshot's eyes," mixed with his ex he was clearly still trying to foster a relationship with and that general sense of rejection or "they don't want/need me." Especially when he keeps getting these emotional Ws that lift him up and he's the first one in line to cut himself down.
Hopefully he takes this energy into The Bear and understands his cousin _wants_ him there. That he sent him up there to learn, not to be pushed aside or punished. That he brings as much value to the restaurant as any other member of the team. Because he is clearly looking for that purpose he was feeling this episode and immediately wanted to latch on.
I just hope he isn't a stranger. Got some vibes from the restaurant experience woman.
Seen this episode multiple times, this is the first time I noticed Uncle Jimmy helped Richie get the TSwift tickets.
Cry every single time the EVERY SECOND COUNTS is revealed again at the end. FUCK i love this show
This is my favorite episode of the series
Carmy is the chef that Luca spoke about. That he envied. But Luca saw that obsession can consume. He wanted to live.😊
This was my fav episode so far. Richie may in fact be an OK dude.
Chef Jess reminds me so much of a young Rachel McAdams, just me? Also she and Richie had some vibes..
When she kind of lingered after saying bye I wanted Richie to read the room so bad; I hope she comes back in some way
@@flightdub6056Him not worrying about it and focusing on his work was a demonstration of his growth.
@@jeffreydrozek-fitzwater4649 Yeah that’s very true, and I do think that was the point of it, but still would be nice for Richie to have that; he must be lonely despite turning things around
@@flightdub6056 Speaking from experience, you gotta get right before you can be with someone else. He'll get there and his next partner, whether it's Jess or someone else, will be better for it.
My favorite episode ❤ Ritchie gives me hope for myself.
Yo I feel that.
Love how they didn’t react to Olivia Coleman at all lol like she’s the surprise of the episode
It's so interesting how they immediately set Richie up to be the villain in season 1. And you slowly realize that he isn't a bad guy, he's never been a bad guy. He's clinging to the last thing he has left of his best friend and he's dealing with the stress of feeling like he has to hold the Berzatto family together now that Mikey is gone
The way I burst into tears when it cuts to Richie singing Love Story. Amazing episode.
Luka was talking about Carmy when he was talking to Marcus about the chef that inspired him to do more 😮
olivia colman gave the most impressive guest performance in this show so far to me, i’m obsessed with jamie lee curtis’ role and she was great in fishes but colman had to be calm, collected, and a bit muted while still having the last (and most important) conversation to push richie’s character development forward.
fishes is still better though 🤭
I think that Fishes is an objectively better episode, but Forks is my favorite episode. It's so sweet
Fishes is a traumatizing episode. It’s amazingly written but as someone who basically had every family function ruined by someone’s “ego/ bravado” fuck that episode too. Forks is the best for the fact that someone whose been in chaos his entire life finds purpose in order and showing people “yes I can do it, let me show you” it’s the best uplifting thing because he’s breaking free of the chaos and choosing to be a man of his own accord.
Some fun facts: the restaurant is mainly based on Eleven Madison Park in NYC. Daniel Humm and Will Guidara took it over in 2012, they were the best restaurant in the world, and the pizza is based on their hot dog story. The hot dog story is Will overheard a table talk about how they ate at the best restaurants in NYC but didn’t have a NYC hot dog and so he ran to a hot dog cart and convinced Daniel Humm to put it out.
A couple other things: “Every Second Counts” is based on Thomas Keller’s (The French Laundry/Per Se, also consultant for Ratatouille) famous phrase “Move With a Sense of Urgency” hung on signs under the wall clocks
The smudge is a reference to food smudge on a plate.
This is a “stage,” or “internship”
No it’s not. It’s based called on the “EVER” if you bother to google “3 star Michelin star restaurant/ forks the bear” you can find multiple articles. How a NY restaurant would be featured in Chicago is WILD and you should slap yourself.
Richie and Jess in the future?😁
Liked her since parenthood
i love seeing people with passion love what they do and getting to see it laid out like this is so beautiful
This is my favorite episode. I've never seen a reactor mention Carm being the great chef he (Will Poulter in the photo) was trying to keep up with.
ICYMI, The photo of Luca and Carmine: Remember what Luca said to Marcus about working with that chef that made him realize that he wasn't the best. Definitely talking about Carmine.
I love that Tiff was wearing a T Swift shirt in Forks, so she's been a Swiftie forever and the call back to their daughter asking about Taylor, and Richie getting Tiff a ticket just to be hammered. And Every Second Counts, what a tie in for everything everytime that has come up this season.
Best episode of the show imo
This was what i was talking about on season 1 when i said that you all are gonna LOVE Richie on Season 2, this episode is one of my favourite. Seeing him grow so much.
my favorite episode of the bear to date. i love a good character development and richie’s slow discovery of his purpose is so beautiful and it’s impossible not to share in his joy and triumph in this ep! also love story is richie’s song now lol
I liked this episode and felt it was well timed because the family episode was crazy stressful and a lot to process. I also think the episode works because it not only educates Richie about fine dining which will help him fit in better with the restaurant they are developing, but it also educates viewers who may not be aware of what that level of dining involves especially behind the scenes.
The instrumental music that was playing once Richie got into his work was from Tangerine Dream and that was in the movie Thief. Thief was a bad ass movie with James Caan that took place in Chicago.
best episode in Tv history in my book lol goddamn this show is a GRANDSLAM
i feel like they definitely moved Richie's phone call to Carmy to later in the episode than it was originally placed for some reason. it fits much better his attitude on the first day or after the phone call with Tiff or something. i wonder why they moved it.
They definitely didn't. It was Richie realizing this moment of good, feeling confident, wasn't going to last. He was leaving and going back to that same shitty life he had before he left. So he regressed, his intrusive thoughts took over, and his self-worth plummeted. It is all too realistic.
My favorite episode of the series so far. And I know it's easy to get overshadowed by the onslaught of major guest stars in the previous episode, but casting Olivia Colman is a big-time get with her resume and schedule.
It does actually seem like Olivia takes time for these smaller appearances more often than most. I know she had very humble beginnings and she's allegedly a very down to earth person, so maybe she likes to sprinkle in some smaller roles here and there to keep it fresh
This is one of my all-time favorite episodes of television. So. Dang. Good.
If people can't watch this without beaming, I feel sorry for them. Can't wait to start getting into S3.
me neither
Such a great episode. This was the episode that made me realize Richie is this show's version of Jesse Pinkman. He's kind of a dirtbag and rough around the edges but you start to realize he's really the heart of the series.
agreed. ive always felt like he was the glue of every character - hes the common denominator. like you said, the heart of the show. this episode just cemented it.
I've watch this episode so many times. Cousin was below Carmy as my favourite and now Richie is #1 in my books. Forks is my fav episode. plus seeing Olivia Coleman was classic.
They better let the staff have the rest of that pizza
truly one of my favorite episodes of television of all time.
Okay, but forreal, Garrett might be my favorite character.
this is one of my favorite episodes of television, ever.
probably my favorite episode. cant wait for next season.
YESSS. This is SUCH a good episode.
I loved this episode so much I literally rewatched it after first seeing it and I never do that lol
the music of this episode is tremendous. The Talking Heads and Taylor Swift were top notch choices.
This is one of my favorite episode of television! Probably even better than Ted Lasso Season 2 Episode 8 with the dart board
He may be going on to play the thing in the fantastic four movie but he’ll always be “cousin” to me ☝🏾😂.
We actually get to know already how/when things go down for Richie. Remember at the childrens birthday catering when cicero asked him why he wasn't doing the job he gave him. And when it turned out cicero gave the clients mike's number so Richie never even got any calls or messages from clients.
3:20 Scene from the film Chef
"Did you talk about the smudge"
"Only a lot"
lolololol
Like this comment if you too ship Chef Jess with Ritchie
Fave episode of this show tbh
This is an all time great episode.
This episode was such a palette cleanser after the previous one.
My favorite episode of the show!
The best episode hands down of the show ❤
Beautiful show ❤🎉
This is my favorite episode
best episode of the series for me
Best episode of the best show of the year by far!
Greatest needle drop of all-time? Quite possibly.
Best episode so far
not recognizing olivia colman is crazy
Mondays and Wednesdays are my favorite days. Too bad this will be over soon 😢
P U R P O S E
Here’s Richie’s redemption arc. I love that the show starts with him being a total pos and then hanging all this humanity on him. Maybe the heart of the entire show.
❤❤❤🎉🎉
Not to recognize Olivia Coleman at all is beyond me.

I mean, I feel like my wallet would know, for sure. But I've been to what my area considers great restaurants, yet can and have done better with a random pan at home.
Spazzing over visual blemishes that you yourself could fix on the spot is insane behavior, regardless of tax bracket.
I can’t stand Taylor swift for the most part but goddamn if that wasn’t the perfect song for a perfect hour of tv 😂
