Enter “The Bear” by mistake. A nervous summary of the first episode can attract some and scare many others. If not, let’s see: there is a violent awakening in a kitchen; there are accumulated debts and little money to pay them; a new deputy (Sydney Adamu, played by Ayo Edebiri) shows up on duty and has to explain what UPS is, because Carmy (played by Jeremy Allen White) is going so fast he doesn’t even consider UPS to be UPS. and not a restaurant; a message appears on social media announcing a tournament in a niche arcade game, a rare meat offering from Levi’s; and there is a long discussion about the importance of keeping spaghetti on the menu. We repeat: this is a bit of the first episode of “The Bear”, one of last summer’s sensational series whose eight episodes of the first season finally arrive on Disney + this Wednesday, October 5.
Your writer has seen this episode three times. Not because it is so difficult to follow -it is and it is not, it depends-, but because it is a delight to perceive all the messages that are sent in that frantic opening that, with the passage of time, seems so disproportionate (but beautiful, at the same time). least at the same time). ). But there is a real reason to revisit the same episode: trying to understand why so many, sometimes conflicting, messages are needed in such a short space of time. “El Oso” seems to want to enter the world of haute cuisine with filling and structure. But soon you realize that it all takes place in a sandwich shop. In a small family business.
