In The Bear every dramatic scene is handled by shouting, wailing, throwing things, and threats of violence. In the brief moments where characters interact normally it is an excellent show. I hope the tone it down a bit for season 2.
I can imagine the writers considering a scene where Sydney makes risotto for Carmen. "How do you like it?" she asks. "Almost great, let's work on it together," replies Carmen. No, no, let's amp up the DRAMA! Sydney flings risotto and threatens to kill herself if it's not on the menu tomorrow. Carmen shoots her in the stomach. Sydney is gurgling blood. Carmen leans in close and screams, "Too much salt in the broth!" Sydney sticks a knife in his throat and whispers, "We'll try it again in hell!".
That's the intensity of The Bear. Every little thing is a battle between psychos off their meds. All while Marcus works quietly on his doughnuts.
