The first few eps are better than the way it ends, so don't defend it too much now, Joe

one of my favorite moments was...
Spoiler: show
Marcus talking about what legacy he wanted to leave, and at one point he said he wanted people to say he was a good emergency contact. i loved that. he's probably my favorite character of the whole series.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

My assumption is that the series will end with carmy making a clean break with his control issues, and working in some decidedly proletariat segment of the food scene.
They figure out the beef sandwich is the only thing making them money and they fall back on that

I just mean you've been going against the status quo. Here, the dating thread...You're going to become insane with anger.

TV audiences -- and critics, especially -- just don't work that way. There was no way this wasn't gonna have a backlash.
So what is broken here, does all entertainment basically have to be disposable to hit any type of mark?
You can't pop off like The Bear did and sustain. No one saw it coming. No one expected the S2 turnaround that fast. And no one thought they could do it twice.

What's broken is our need to watch heros fall.

If this doesn't have a Bourdain philosophy friendly ending I'm gonna be shocked.

I watched the first episode of the new season - then started watching Supacell and haven't gotten back to it

I don't know much about Bourdain, but it seems to me he'd prefer to just get one of their beef sandwiches from the window, than have a sit down meal in the restaurant...

4 eps into season and it’s as good as ever, imo. Loved Getchoo at the end of that ep. What a song!
