Television The Bear (FX)

I think I can best summarize my thoughts in that I loved every episode but I didn’t love the season. It was absolutely beautiful and it was cool to see the creative team fuck around for a bit. But ultimately I needed a bit more beef.
 
As a former chef who worked in fine dining, I find the show stressful, sad, brutal, occasionally uplifting, sometimes brilliant and totally depressing.
Pretty much like my time working in kitchens.
 
I'm in the minority here and think this may be the best season so far. I believe it does the best in character development and explaining the characters.
 
The first episode of season 3 is so bad the GF and I turned it off after 30 minutes. 30 minutes of highlights and putting stuff on food with almost zero dialog. It was truly terrible.
 
Caught up on The Bear, and I enjoyed the season overall, but it was a bit chaotic and slow paced. There were more episodes out of the kitchen/restaurant, then in. Was cool to see Carmie's in flashbacks, how Tina ended up working at The Beef, and of course flashbacks with Mikey. John Bernthal kills that role! The finale episode was good and the ending was good/funny. What will happen with the review! lmao!

Also, the Cena cameo as a Fak was great! He fit right in with their personality type. I liked seeing Christina Tossi cameo in the finale as well.

Had to force myself to sit through the whole season and hated every fucking minute of it. 30 minute episodes felt like full feature films. I was hoping by the season finale something would happen, but not even the review was revealed. Not even that. What an underwhelming, pointless season. This was even worse than season 2 of House of the dragon. Done with the show for good.
