Well said. And well received.

[@aubreezily13]

Having Luca's character- patient and self assured, juxaposed against Carmy is such great writing in this show. Will Poulter did an incredible job in this role.

[@kingjayburner]

Apparently he was a huge fan of season 1 and really wanted to be a part of the show. Imagine getting that opportunity and then killing it!

[@aubreezily13]

@@kingjayburner that is so cool! I love that he seemingly cared a lot and clearly made the most of his one episode appearance. I hope he returns in some manner for season 3!

[@paulshawley6490]

There was the same calm vibe that came off Olivia Colman's character. I think that Carmy, before his brother's death, may have been that same calm, assured type as well and that he's been having a rolling, progressive breakdown ever since.

[@everythinglakers1713]

@@paulshawley6490 facts. The photos on the wall, him surrounded by people who clearly are composed and have an ideal goal to be the best in what they do with Olivia and Will characters shows the toll family burden, drama, and death as taken on Carmy. Would love to see them potentially come back for season 3

[@samtaylorcoll]

Could it be that Luca is talking about Carmy being the other guy?

I was waiting for Luca's character at some point to go 180 and be horrible to Marcus but it was such a refreshing take to see him impart wisdom like that. Made me appreciate his character so much more.

Is really impressive how the show subverts the expectations of the audience, there's parts like this episode and the one with the forks that i really did think the characters teaching would grow tired from the lack of experience or straight up incompetence but turned out pretty chill. And there's other times were i expected things to cold down like the christmas episode and Carmy's mom crashed the car into the house.

[@judigemini178]

Yeah this grounded tone is so pleasant, I wish/hope more shows are like this

[@sammythemc]

​@@danieljessekaplan The writing makes it a lot easier, he basically got handed a monologue about an experience most young hotshot actors have had with a couple of words switched around. Olivia Colman's scene in Forks is a similar thing, the whole show does a great job of getting these performances by giving their actors these meta hooks to grab on to. If you take a second to think about it, I bet you could point to like 6 different scenes off the top of your head where the character's relationship to cooking and the restaurant parallels the actor's relationship to acting and the show

[@jhaslett00]

Comparing Luca’s perspective on working with other chefs vs Carmy in season 1 saying he wanted to “smoke those motherfuckers” whenever there was a new chef in the kitchen is just such a great contrast

[@frankcaliendosucks]

It explains a lot about him and where he is. People like Luca got "smoked" and were humbled, but now have grown into much more balanced and successful people in their own right. While carmy is anxious, creating chaos for himself, and pushing people away.

[@matthewglenguir7204]

[@jon-umber]

Will never fail to astound me how great writers can create a character from nothing, provide minimal context, whip up some tight dialogue, and have them feel grounded and real in less than 3 minutes' time.

Yep, the episode with Richie interning at the 3 Star place, plus the family dinner episode were next level and raw. Stuff you don't get on TV much nowadays.

[@garfinkelc11]

I was super worried when I saw that the show was renewed for season 2, because I thought season 1 worked perfectly as a fully encapsulated story, and I was worried that they'd ruin it somehow in season 2. I should have known better, and I'm now eagerly awaiting season 3.

[@thecapone45]

Season 2 was awesome. My favorite episodes are in the second season. (Honeydew and Forks).

[@carpetjuise]

It's the difference between the best and the second-best. The pressure and anxiety just to be at the top can only be handled by the very few

A tough pill to swallow. But being humbled and accepting that fact like that to help you is the best course of option.

[@elizen__]

Dude i know people are talking about the contrast between luca and carmy but the sub text between micahel and scottie make this symbolism even better. Michael was a stud and this champion that was so self absorbed, and luca was similar to scottie always trying to learn and fill jordans shoes but he stil is considered by many to be great.

[@pabungus]

I like how understated Poulter's performance is here, he could easily overact it but he just comes off as a normal person.

[@GmodAdict]

I wish more shows had this cadence of dialogue. It feels real, like a situation I could see being real and not dramatic for its own sake. The drama comes from the storytelling, the situations, and these tiny little side conversations that build out these two characters massively.

[@pineapplezztv7674]

I think something that isn’t as appreciated as it should be is how luca handles Marcus. He’s not like most, maybe even any chef we come across in the show. He doesn’t scream at Marcus when he fucks up or has a condescending tone. He’s firm when he makes his mistakes and pushes him more and more until he gets it right. And with that he and Marcus build an incredibly strong friendship.

[@lukedaley17]

Luca came across as more stern and strict than Carmen is. But this scene shows how supportive and inspirational the former was to Marcus.

[@forevermystic1212]

Help me out if i am having terrible conclusion here but the way show ended didn't settle well with me . I mean everything went to sh*thole atlast. Why they ended it like that ? It could have gone happy way . Carmy getting stuck at opening day and reveaing that to Claire all of a sudden . ThaT fight with Cousin at that moment that day was idk unrealistic and unneeded . Were they preparing us for season 3 by that or ? I didn't even understand Donna part lol coming to door and not entering whatsoever but on her part i can somehow settle cauz she is lunatic afterall. Idk it's jus my thing. The show along with its ending is being critically acclaimed anyway . Also that Fishes episode my god that was tooooo noisy over the top verbal & slightly physical fight. At last I was also confused abt Sydney's reaction I was like wtf is up with her . Now she is sad too why . Wht was she vomiting?

[@oreki22]

This scene is brilliant, especially now that it is juxtaposed with how he is in season 3 (minor spoilers) In season three, he is a bit of an awkward mess. Asking too many questions and getting nervous around these other great chefs. But, as we see in this scene, he can be very calm and inspiring. When he's in his element, cooking, he is calm and focused. I hope we see more of him in season 4, as he is the perfect character to compare with Carmy. They both learned from the same chefs (for the most part), and both honed their crafts. Yet, while Luca is very calm in the kitchen, Carmy is bordering on manic. This, of course, is the result of his last chef mentor who severely bullied and traumatized him. To me, Luca represents what Carmy could have been if he had not gone to his final teacher. While Carmy left the experienced a 'better' chef, Luca is atleast happy and enjoys his work. As Luca mentions he, he recognized that he wasn't the best, but took it as a good thing that gave him peace. Whereas Carmy constantly strove to be the best, causing him so much heartache and pain.

[@cameronauguste9100]

Marcus really took that lesson about being open and inspired. Which is what led him to creating a dessert called the “Michael” to represent everyone that he cares about.
