Forks | The Bear S2 Ep 7 Reaction

[@YaBoyRoshi]

the development is crazy

[@Quixotic1018]

You started not knowing restaurants had ratings to roasting how Chilli's and Olive Garden run

[@nocturnaljim295]

Renewed for season 3 and 4 🍽

[@elitepineapple4283]

​@@nocturnaljim295 I knew about season 3 but 4???? But aren't there also like rumors they're planning to end it with 3?

[@GodMcQueen]

They're filming seasons 3 & 4 back to back.@@elitepineapple4283

[@nicholasluangrath]

@@elitepineapple4283nah it was confirmed they will be filming season 3 and 4 back to back

[@angelsppp11]

"I need you to respect yourself" And with that Ritchie locked tf in and became the best character in the entire show, all in one episode, absolute masterclass.

[@nicholasluangrath]

they didnt get scammed bc they never ordered a deep dish pizza they said they were upset they didnt get the chance to try chicago deep dish yet so the restaurant provided that experience for them complimentary.

[@RenegadeReplicant]

To add one the restaurant wouldn't have charged extra either, its a set price for a multi-course meal. So it was something special they did to blow the table's minds. Thats why they're 3 stars, above and beyond hospitality.

[@jkleins2869]

yeah and he said “pequod’s deep dish” when he dropped the plate. that was the name of the pizza joint. they were aware the restaurant didn’t make it and just replated it for them to try. they were obviously there to dine and pay for the restaurant’s original food anyways.

[@wickedvikingart]

This is true. Most of the people who can afford to go to this restaurant probably have busy ass schedules, so they don't have the time to go to an actual deep dish spot; they prolly gotta hop the airplane in like an hour lol

[@michaelbagasan2629]

I’m really sure they just don’t like deep dish pizza lmao

[@lorettabes4553]

I misunderstood that the first time as well

[@cestmon8475]

I realized in fishes that Ritchie literally says he has these skills and he’s willing to learn and that was 5 years prior. Made the come up so much sweeter for Ritchie this episode

[@YSLFLACKO]

Makes me realise every single person on this earth has a skill or are good at something, we all have a reason it’s just that we don’t know or realise it yet and it’s never too late to try.

[@dungeonmaster16]

@@YSLFLACKO that or need that push/chance. we are human and we are willing to learn something new or enhance current skillset. we just need either the tools, knowledge and/or tutelage to do it. if we dont get any of those of course we gonna go in circles and get frustrated with being stuck in place. thats why burnout happens with if we dont learn anything new or teach someone that knowledge we get upset of wasting life and that rate say screw it and walk off to find something new.

[@goblin6914]

One of the greatest episodes of television I've ever seen

[@Miguel211216]

Just, Yes.

[@seezar100]

It's very good, but calm down a little.

[@redhotchilifan98]

Agreed 100% you root for Ritchie the whole way

[@diamcole]

@@seezar100 Nah, get hype about things lol life is too short.

[@JoshV_TX]

@@seezar100 maybe it was the best episode of tv that person ever seen though

[@koreaface]

I don’t know if you remember when Chef Luca said about this one chef he tried to keep up with that was really good. That was Camry

[@PiecefulKaos]

Also, all their restaurants had the same sign "Every second counts". At first, it sounds like a slogan to make the most efficient use of time possible, especially because we see it when they're on a time crunch to open in just 3 months. But this story flips the meaning. Now it's about enjoying and seeing the beauty of every moment.

[@kalood7.]

w o w .

[@dearvernon]

when richie stares at “every second counts” at the end you can actually SEE the realization of found purpose in his eyes and that’s incredible. the show just let us witness that and sit with it WITH richie, and that’s why it felt so emotional. incredible personal growth for richie!

[@do.not.perceive.me.]

going from the beef richie to Fine Dining Richard is one of my all time favorite character arcs on television, genuinely such a feel good moment after constant stress.

[@Cuda1985]

Love this take on him. 😆💙

[@do.not.perceive.me.]

@@Cuda1985 he’s still got a little of the beef in him but now there’s garnishes and shiny cutlery 🥹

[@taylormade9748]

Definitely. I’m so happened he found his purpose

[@thewhatness]

I'm right there with you, Lupa. That final zoom-in on "Every Second Counts" reduced me to tears. Just...beautiful storytelling, and in a way that _feels_ impactful, because if Richie can finally feel the full weight of those three words, then the audience is right there with him. I cried, man. This is just...such a great show, sincerely. For all the stress and screaming it can be known for, I revere it even more for how tender and profound it can be.

[@FollyPlays]

Everyone raves about Fishes which is because it's obviously an amazing episode but this is my favourite episode of the bear and also one of the best episodes of television

[@rohanbesra4831]

Yep same goes for me

[@IntenseSarcasm]

This is the highest rated episode in the entire series on imdb, its not exactly underrated.

[@FollyPlays]

Never said it was underrated I just said you hear more people talking about Fishesm didn't know this was the highest rated episode on IMDB tho, that's cool

[@7daimeHokage]

Put some respect on Olivia Colman's name 😭 1 of the best actors of our time

[@bluedestiny88]

True, she is a national treasure in Britain!

[@teleytubby]

I was kinda shocked, there were a couple who came up this season where I squealed at my computer out of hype. She was absolutely one of them

[@nothajzl]

ikr, knowing her from Secret Invasion is kinda disrespectful

[@lorettabes4553]

@@nothajzl She's in so many things, these guys just don't watch those things... I guess?

[@thewhatness]

We've all been waiting for this one. Perhaps the most thrilling, uplifting character development one episode has been able to pull off. What I absolutely adore is the contrast between the very first time Richie is introduced to the slogan on the wall ("Every Second Counts" to him at that point means to simply keep doing your responsibilities, no matter how dull), but by the end of the episode, he fully embraces its real meaning ("Every Second Counts," because it's never too late to start again, and he really could help build something beautiful once The Bear opens in the time they have left).

[@pabloc8808]

We also see "Every Second Counts" on Chef Luca's wall in Copenhagen, and in this episode we see the picture of Luca and Carmy on Chef Terry's wall, meaning when Luca left Terry and opened his own place he took that with him. Also fun fact, that sign is inspired by The French Laundry (Chef Thomas Keller). In every kitchen managed by Keller there is a sign that says "Sense of Urgency" under the clock.

[@RenegadeReplicant]

Love the reveal with the photo of Carmy and Luca (Copenhagen). It confirms that the chef he was telling Marcus about, the one that was way better than him and pushed him to be better, was Carmy. Carmy even says it in his monologue at the season 1 finale. He mentions whenever someone would come in new he'd make sure to smoke them.

[@lloronaviada9131]

I'VE LITERALLY BEEN REFRESHING THE PAGE FOR THE LAST TEN MINUTES!!! IT'S FORKS

[@jeanelle.]

I didn't think this show could make me actually like Richie so much after one episode. What great character development!

[@thedarkknight2221]

Ritchie has some of the best character growth I’ve ever seen. Ebon Moss-Bacharach is absolutely getting another Emmy for this show!

[@KimandKamJam]

I just realized in this episode that Richie is still wearing his wedding ring. Meaning he never got over losing his family, in addition to his best friend

[@OneAndOnlyOmar]

ITS HERE!! FORKS FORKS FORKS

[@Kyonikov]

Heck yes I came here for this comment, beat me to it. We’ve all been waiting patiently haha

[@srog3771]

That lady from Secret Invasion is also in a show called Fleabag. You guys might like it.

[@BadLeoG]

yes watch fleabag, I cant believe out of all the amazing roles she's done they recognised her from secret invasion lol

[@Fyrestorm24]

WE'RE AT FORKS, BABY! WE'VE REACHED THE PROMISE LAND!

[@ricardogodinez5719]

This episode legit helped me lock in my last semester of university 😤

[@lorettabes4553]

facts!

[@arjunwali9885]

Chef Terry’s journey with her restaraunt mirrors Sydney (opened a restaraunt too fast and crashed out) and Carmys (opened a new venture with more maturity after the loss of a loved one)

[@mauricetoney]

The restaurant is based on a real place, Alinea in Chicago. They did a Chefs Table episode on it on Netflix… Definitely on my bucket list 🙏🏾

[@saurabhch4001]

Thanks for confirming that! I swear it looked like it but I’m glad I wasn’t the only one.

[@Micisme86]

No this place is actually called EVER its not based on anything it's literally the real restaurant in Chicago

[@mauricetoney]

Oh wow, I stand corrected lol Thanks for letting me know 👍🏾

[@DoubleAMoviez]

Definitely my favorite ep this season. I was just like Lupa by the end of it. Every second counts.

[@newtypeJP]

This episode means so much to me. The coach K speech in the beginning. To Richie hitting rock bottom to finding self worth and self love again because of working with Garrett and the team, also talking to the Chef. It’s never too late to start again & every second counts.

[@nazjaithinks]

that is NOT the girl from secret invasion. THAT IS OLVIA COLEMAN

[@i94yeh2p]

That cute lady chef gently pushed up on Richie at least 3 times with a huge smile on her face, she was giving him some rhythm - as us old folks used to say. I hope she becomes a love interest.

[@Quixotic1018]

Finding out that his ex is getting married unlocked that Avatar Aang wisdom: "When we hit our lowest point we are open to the greatest change."

[@ToastyZach]

The way the train passes as Richie says "I love you"... One of my favorite moments.

[@glknight1813]

Chef Terry is played by Olivia Colman, who played Queen Elizabeth in The Crown, voiced Mama Bear in Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, was Police Constable Doris Thatcher in Hot Fuzz ("Nothing like a bit of Girl On Girl!") and many other things. Figured I'd give some extra trivia on the whole "she's from Secret Invasion" bit.

[@drummertp12]

She was also in Broadchurch, The Favourite, fleabag, Heartstopper, Wonka and now in wicked little letters. Amazing actress

[@shaheedjohnson9106]

Keep mind they probably haven't watched any of those.

[@catalandustin51]

She also started in a great show with David tennet called broadchurch and won her 1st Oscar for a film called The Favorite.

[@firstofawll]

​@@shaheedjohnson9106 still she's an Oscar winning actress how can you not know about her when your entire freaking channel is dedicated to watching shows and movies

[@LoXHumaN]

10:19 y’all trippin this is complimentary they ain’t charging for it

[@Heatwolf]

Loved this episode! One thing I dont see a lot of people mention is the callback to ep 6 when Richie talks to Cicero at Christmas "I'm good with people" trying to get a job. So full circle Carmy tells chief Terry that Richie is good with people and we see him prosper because of it!

[@eliasdennis7880]

I don’t know if y’all caught it but Charmy was the chef that Poulter’s character was talking about. He was the chef who pushed him to be better.

[@ferdz6510]

Everyone was having their training arcs this season lol

[@NegaiFreak]

I burst out laughing at Sheera's Spider-Man joke. XD Anyways, great episode. Richie's development here is definitely one of the best parts of the season. And it makes me really happy to see a character change so much for the better. Every second counts from now on.

[@SylviasDaughter93]

We made it! The best episode of the series hands down

[@Dudesidabe]

This episode was a life changer for me. I related to Richie in so many ways, and he helped me find purpose too. Thanks for reacting to this one :')

[@viirtuosity]

First time watching... my dude on the right has such a warming and joyous laugh. Super inviting to watch. Much needed wholesome content.. we need more of this

[@ricebowl_]

This episode is where my love for this show went from pretty strong to UNBREAKABLE🗣️ like it’s genuinely top episodes of tv oat for me

[@johnathan2321]

This episode is like what they did with Tina and Marcus, just tons of growth to the characters. Everyone gets their "Level Up" arc. This and Fishes made me love this show and so happy you're going on the journey as well.

[@troyareyes]

I appreciate that yall are in early agreement that clean forks are important.

[@TheVillainousTitan]

First episode I felt I could rewatch and rewatch. Amazing series, this episode alone just feels so good.

[@FlyBoyKhi]

That Taylor Swift song was stuck in my head for weeks bc of this episode lol

[@NamiTheAlpha]

My only problem with this ep was that Richie aint get that girls damn numberrr 😂😂

[@mljs_stv5664]

We’re finally here, y’all! FORKS!

[@BrownBearNZ]

This episode and Fishes are the beautiful chefs kiss on this season. ❤ This season pulled it out. ❤🎉

[@picklegoat]

It is time guys, they've made it to the best episode of the series thus far.

[@hrussell9677]

The actress who plays Chef Terry is Olivia Coleman who has made quite a few series and movies. She played Queen Elizabeth in the earlier seasons of The Crown, has been in many British series. She is an excellent actress.

[@lorettabes4553]

12:43 OMG, He's talking about Carmy! And Carmy's gf was studying to become a nurse (or doctor I can't remember).

[@pidginenglish]

i just realised how they switched up the camera work which elevated this episode so much. thats so interesting and fun.

[@domisolo7836]

He didn't wake up before the alarm because his body got into the "rhythm." It is to show that he has changed. Every morning he was waking up a few minutes late. On that last morning, he woke up before the alarm to show that he was ready to go. He was a changed man.

[@traill8040]

just realized that the chef in kopenhagen was talking about carmey.(the chef that started the same day but was way better)

[@Jo-fk1be]

idk if u guys noticed but the chef Will Poulter told Marcus about who was better than him was Carmy (who we saw in the picture)

[@elleliterate]

The shots of the trains are a callback to the monologue that Richie had with Carm in the basement about that book character who got dropped by all his friends, and his life was spent just watching trains go by. It's to show Richie's fear of stagnation and the fear that everyone is moving on and he's getting left behind.

[@Rabestor]

This one feels like a ted lasso episode. Heart warming and fun!

[@TianmaoMa-rd1rn]

3-star Michelin is the highest honor and is god like status symbol in the culinary world. One star is tough as hell to get and will catapult any restaurant to a new stratosphere of fame as is.

[@Beast_Twisted]

Yes Roshi, he is looking for purpose. I can't wait until you all get a chance to eat at a superb spot that treats you like more than a check. Its a game changer.

[@samfisher6606]

Best episode of the series! Such a well-done and deserved redemption for Richie!

[@rockinstampede]

10:18 /pinky ass up/ they sent Rich to Peaquods. It’s one of the best Chicago deep dishes.

[@RogueShinobiX]

Peqouds is an actual pizza place. I’m from Chicago where is the the series takes place and is filmed. So I understand a lot of the references. I’m also a chef myself and the deep dish and cutting it down and making it into something else isn’t far fetched at all.

[@laronreed230]

I live in Chicago. The is actually a real restaurant called Ever, but it is a 2 star that serves more contemporary food.

[@z_stuartoliver]

17:45 yall are funny lmao this why yall my go-to for when watching reactions

I've been waiting for this one since the start. I think this might be my favorite episode of anything ever.

[@2droidz12]

[@moiseslopez981]

Its crazy how in one episode ritchie went from being the most annoying and worst character in the show to the absolute man. Absolutely amazing episode

[@joesoq]

this episode, vinland saga's "oath"(2x9) and frieren's "a powerful mage"(ep10) are 3 of my favorite tv eps last year. 10/10.

[@sammythemc]

"Why is there a skeleton up there?" There's something in art history called a memento mori, literally "remember you must die." Painters would throw a skull or something into a still life to remind people that death is looming for everyone, and that their life is precious in the shadow of that. I think it fits in well with the whole "Every Second Counts" theme of putting in the effort with the time you're given.

it was free tho

[@LaCheeserie]

Not just a random spot. It was the place they wanted to try deep dish at

[@supersucks]

Its the thought that counts. Its free. It’s what the customer wants to try. And it surprised them

[@spiraljumper74]

Pequod’s is like the king of Chicago deep dish, it was an extra course, and it was free. It was an act of service.

[@Golgiaparatus2]

Ah yes. The day Richie decided he was gonna be the GOAT.

That pizza place is real that Richie got the pizza from Pequods it was rated the top pizza place in the US this year I forget who said it but it's a real place, I live in Chicago & it's very good pizza not my favorite ever personally it's like an 8.5 to me but I know almost everyone else that has had it loves it so it's definitely legit.

[@spiraljumper74]

I mean every Chicagoan has their own favorite spot but we all gotta agree Pequod’s is good. That’s how you know it’s a top spot.

[@troyareyes]

In defense of the deep dish, fancy restaurant like this can serve you up to 12 courses in one meal, so this was probably just one of them and they make it small cuzbthey don't want you to fill up on it.
