I was shocked to see how many people were ready to turn on it. Even with the issues I had with this season, it's still a great show and I look forward to seeing their vision for the ending. It didn't get exponentially better like it did between seasons 1 and 2 but that's not the same as being bad.

I really like the Tina's episode. It really shows why Michael was so loved and why so many people admired him. The last time we get to see a memory of Michey was of him bashing out in the Christmas dinner, so this was a nice way of showing expanding the complexity of his character.

THIS SEASON WAS POWERFUL . MOST THINGS IN LIFE ARE NOT RESOLVED. PEOPLE DO NOT EVOLVE IN SIX MONTHS. THEY MIGHT MAKE SOME SMALL CHANGES BUT USUALLY DO WHAT IS FAMILIAR OR REVERT BACK TO OLD HABITS. THE FLASHBACKS ARE GREAT BECAUSE YOU GET A SENSE OF WHY HE IS THE WAY HE IS. I TRULY LIKE THE SIDE CHARACTER STORIES. THE LAST EPISODE WAS NOT GROUNDBREAKING BUT IT SETS UP A TON OF MAJOR PLOT LINES. SOMETIMES I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT PEOPLE EXPECT. THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW SHOWS THAT YOU REALLY CAN FEEL THE TENSION AND ANXIETY OF THE PROTAGONIST

Well said!

I said this in a different video, but Season 3 is about healing and characters. Everybody goes through healing and most of the by the end healed, except Carmy which is why it is a less stressful season than other making it feel different. It had a bit more filler, but it wasn't bad. But I guess it feels less intense and less impactful than the past two, because of them healing. Richie found purpose and his fights are now only with Carmy, who is the character who is still not allowing himself to heal and tries to force himself into different things (Changing the menu, quitting smoking, etc.) Syd is getting the same trauma that Carmy was inflicted without any of them realizing it, Marcus grew, Tina grew, Richie grew, Nat and DD grew which is why we don't have many stressfull moments. And the show has always been about trauma and generational trauma, yet this season had one of the best episodes in my opinion (Episode 1, 6 and 8 being some of my favorites in the whole show, as well as most of episode 10), as well as some of the worst (which for The Bear, it is still like a 7 or an 8)

I think Season 3 is phenomenal! It gave me so much anxiety I had chest pains, but it was great! I think the conversation at the table was half indulgence into that world and half to juxtapose how Carmy had been running The Bear so he could hear it from people he respected as chefs. He was having that battle in his mind as he listened and stared down Chef David. The delivery of some of the lines was awkward, but once I got past their lack of acting chops and a little bit of cringe from Sydney and Luca, I enjoyed the episode. I want to see a couple characters from Ever continue on in the show. Maybe working at The Bear.

People care WAY too much about “plot development” because their attention spans are busted. If a character has an issue, viewers expect it to be resolved by the end of the episode, or the end of the season. In reality, that doesn’t always happen. Yeah, it was frustrating to see Carmy push everyone out, and actively self-destruct, but that’s the point their trying to make. Not everything can just get resolved with a pretty little bow on top to make you feel good at the end. I think this season was about setting up the viewers with a sense of tension that will be resolved in one way or another later on, and they do that by really taking their time and letting us into the psyches of these characters instead of focusing on moving the plot forward. I really appreciate when a show takes it’s time, but I suppose some people don’t have the time for that

Season 3 feels different because we now know everyone. Everyone is established. What's left at the end of S03 are unanswered questions - and I absolutely love it. From a story-telling perspective, this season actually makes sense.

This season was like watching a movie with Robert DeNiro playing every part. No character listened to another or said anything without repeating it three times.

Perfect description

S3 is a quiet and contemplative season compared to the previous loud and bombastic seasons. There are 2 or 3 very powerful episodes. It is a little self-indulgent at times with some of its montages and character monologuing, but this is very much in line with the quiet and contemplative nature is delivered. This is a season where side and supporting characters get to shine the most and I liked that a lot. A lot of discussion on the industry and artform of cooking. I can't picture the season ending with Season 4 being the success it is and where they left all the various story lines, there are low production constraints, and this is a show that feels like it has the gas to go to a season 5 or season 6 depending on how they want it to end. Syd is probably going to leave, Carmy will probably hire his old buddy Will Poulter's character to take her place, they will both probably start dating keeping the connection together. Carmy will reconcile with Claire by the end of the season. Richie will probably date the hostess. It's going to be a season of LOVE. The only issue will Carmy needing further financing to keep the restaurant alive.

Great predictions!

One thing I haven’t seen anyone pick up on is Carm being stuck is also translating into him being stuck creatively as a chef. We see him cooking with precision but no joy, passion or creativity. We see in a flash back when he takes another spin on a meal and he says it’s because of a fennel allergy. It goes to a young Syd who we know is not allergic to fennel cause she made it for her first family meal in Season one. Carm just wanted to be creative. Syd does not seem impressed with his dishes and even mentions it feels like it’s from 2014. The chef from Ever mentions to Syd that he had her meal and it didn’t feel like Carmy. I think the review will expose how the food is good but not innovative or fresh. I think Carmy’s food will be seen as dated. What he is missing is what the partnership with Syd was supposed to bring.

I didn't really care for Season 3, tbh. I really enjoyed the first two seasons, but this one fell flat. It felt like they wasted a LOT of time during the episodes and nothing ever coming out of it

thank you for yor review!

Stellar breakdown and insights.

S3 was frustrating but i feel that is part of the experience of being emersed in the world of the characters. Nothing was resolved. Thibgs felt stalled but coukd that be the point? Real life doesnt always have the perfect arc but in retrospect can still feel perfectly progressed. I enjoyed S3. S2 was on a different level, but this season felt important and necessary.

I also think the series creates a metalanguage that continues beyond the screen. The conflicting reviews of the series itself, the lack of resolution, the feeling that something is missing and precisely the review not being made available at the end, leaving us to imagine, it was certainly on purpose, as if the feeling we had this season was the feeling of the restaurant, something doesn't seem right. I don't agree with whoever said it doesn't add anything, I think it defines that Carmy, continuing the way it is, will not be able to succeed. In other seasons he was presented as a prodigy, someone to be followed, but the point of tension he experiences makes him, in his restaurant where he has absolutely EVERYTHING available to him (something he didn't have in The beef) still not enough. And more than that, people around him already realize that the glow of the restaurant comes from Sydney, who is not being heard at all. This season for me is a bridge, not a filler, it establishes the emotional situation of the characters for the finale.

i feel like this season, while the story was moving forward, was primarily a love letter to the art itself, before finishing the story. it's not always linear. it's not always just an uphill. it doesnt always has an instant resulution. it's natural to what anyone cursed with passion experiences at least once or twice (or 100 times tbh) on their parth.

Such a deep take you have on where Carmy is right now.

The show is called The Bear. Not Carmy. Not Sidney. Not Richie. But all of them. It’s not just Carm’s story to tell. And how Tina and Nat and Richie and even Donna are all trying to find their peace this season is the through line.

FX should have called it Season 3: Part 1. I don't think it was Bad TV at all, and I really like the first episode a lot, however, if you are passing off something as a full season, you're setting an expectation for the audience that they are going to get taken on a journey for that season from beginning to end that albeit might operate under an overarching plot of a series, will deliver on certain storylines within that season and unfortunately that just didn't happen. It's not much of a surprise that compared to previous seasons this one is markedly down on the Audience RT score subsequently.

Richie and Jess for sure ss4

Strongly disagree. The entire first episode felt like a different show, hardly any dialogue. The things that might have felt "the same" to me were done with purpose to fit the overall story and Carmy's character arc. His main need is to deal with his trauma. The way he deals with people around him is a result of not dealing with that trauma. So a lot of that stuff has to remain a constant in the show even if it feels like we've been there. I'm not sure what else felt redundant I guess.

lots of folks being critical have missed a lot of character development including Syd's ADHD/Binge eating disorder (likely), everyone's broken lives due to DD and Mikey, explaining most of these character's aren't going to have your typical happy ending but are still trying to make things happen. Carmy is missing the reviews and is seeing what he instinctively would see considering how damaged he is. He's grown, but he hasn't grown enough to get his shit together. This is what folks that have been through trauma over and over again go through. Even though they get most of their shit together, the people around them are also damaged and they seemingly don't figure out what's wrong with them because they've been too busy taking care of, in this case, Mikey, DD, Carmy, their daughter, their mother, their father, their entire family ( in the case of Carmy's sister), and meanwhile, Sydney hasn't had the courage to rely on others while everyone else around her in the kitchen has had to rely on other to survive (even if toxic) because they are instinctually driven to be like a Bear (according to 7 fishes episode explanation of what Bears personalities are like).

What's also interesting is that Sydney has a bad boss, but this particular bad boss is actively trying to be better. A quality that most bad bosses do not acquire. Sydney has a job at a place that she holds dear. That's holding here there. She knows that everyone is growing together, but she is missing that she is growing too even though she hesitates to let ANYONE in. Every time in each season she's changed the subject as others have opened up and she's even been supportive and genuine. I feel she's working on opening up because often when folks have lost someone close, mother, father, etc. when very young. It causes a large barrier to create this closed off Sydney, and she's seeing these Chef's in the finale open up and feeling so free to share their best and embarrassing parts of themselves. She's not part of it, but she's prodding and avoiding her own openness. Something that she'll have to do if she signs with the Bear and something she can avoid if she leaves to start her own place with a new partner. Does she sacrifice everything that she's been building to at the Bear? Is she aware that she's getting close to opening up? Or is she tied to the idea that staying means she'll have to open up and she really never wants to, to protect herself from losing someone close again?

I still dont know why Syd is made so skilled. She's made essentially an equal to Carm in terms of skill but there has never been any justification for that. Especially as we see what Carm has gone through to get so good.

this season was a psycheout, nothing really happened, at all. it was like one long 10 episode final ep epilogue of season 2, lots of filler like the faks, the bottle eps with mom/birth and tina, didn't hit, at least for me. found myself fast forwarding through most of the season, looks like all the "happening" will take place in the "to be continued" sesaon 4, but i felt the shows producers took advantage of us viewers, and the shows popularity, to push out an ill conceived bloat of a "season". i am severely dissapoint.

I thought the first two seasons were great - I got my daughter to watch them and she liked them. Season 3 - I was apologizing for having wasted her time. Most of the time the writing was bad. And the FAKS - what the hell? I liked Niel and Ritchie's back and forth in Season 1, but adding Theodore in season 2 was annoying - back and forth trying to understand what each other was saying gets old fast. Adding John Cena in Season 3 was horrific - I found myself getting increasingly annoyed every time he barked a line. The photo session that was supposed to be such a big deal and the Faks are acting like 5 yr olds while it is going on?!? The Faks go to the hospital to see Claire. The Faks go to the hospital to see Sugar. The Faks just happen to be throwing a house party that Chef Terry drops in on??? Did Matty Matheson negotiate that he has to be in half the scenes? And who would want to go to a party with Carmy? The best written part of season 3 was where Ritchie and Tiffany learned how to get along. Mostly filler. Very little progression. Writing that at times seemed like it was on the level of fan fiction. Very disappointed.

The Faks weren't throwing a house party, the party was at Syd's and the Faks stopped by/were invited/crashed it, not sure which.

The Faks, or simply main Fak is great, but adding so many for meandering meaningless scenes got dull AF. I'd rather they lean into just giving us more Richie scenes, since he's charismatic AF. Or IDK, let Syd have more scenes. I like Sug and really liked her one on one scenes w/Richie this year, but that ep w/Jamie Lee was so boring. Also, how many real chets do you need to screw in a lightbulb? How about none. It's a TV show, not reality. Also, why did they make the narrative choice to accept Carmy's non=negoitables? He wasn't the money. Jimmy and Sug could have nixed that shit. They showed in S2 finale they could if they had to run it w/out Carmy. also, if Richie and Carmy were icy all year, could we get more people talking about it and dealing w/it. All the staring into space got old AF.

Did anyone understand why Josh Hartnett's character Frank took an eternity to say what he wanted to say to Ritchie? It was so awkward. 😂

Counterpoint: Syd can't be treated as a partner until she signs on as partner. Edit: That is why everyone keeps telling her to sign the agreement.

I don't think so. Carmy will always see her as a subordinate

@@mundanejane353 That is not how contracts and partnerships work in the real world. While this is a fictionalized version of the restaurant world, I don't think her other offer is all it's cracked up to be. Bear always says he wants The Bear to emulate the finest dining establishments.

I literally gave zero f u c k s about Sugar's baby delivery episode, Tina job hunting, and all the parts with Carmy's brother. It was annoying how we were teased about Carmy making up with his ex-girlfriend and literally nothing happened because the two of them were never placed in the same room the entire season! Not enough Richie. Not enough interactions between Carmy and Sydney. Not enough playful bickering and bantering as the previous seasons. We did get a few glimpses of Molly Ringwald's character leading a grief counseling session, however, whats the use if we havent seen any character growth from Carmy? He's the same exact character with PTSD from the cruel chef, only difference is he stopped smoking, and never even spoke during a single group session.

I think this show forgot that it won the Emmy for “Best Comedy” after its first season. I enjoyed Season 2 much more than Season 3, but it’s definitely shifted to more of a drama. It’s a shame!

To be fair, the 'comedy' thing is just some weird categorisation issue because of the episodes lengths being sub 40 minutes.

It is the worst season of this show. It is a mix of pretentious repetition. The two best episodes were Tina’s episode and the child birth episode (which does not even show the child birth). But even these two episodes are not really original. the creators saw how well received the fish dinner episode and the forks episode from season two were and made these two episodes knockoff versions for season 3. The first episode of season 3 is incredibly pretentious with very little dialogue just relying on montages of camera shots and music. The final episode really demonstrates the mix of repetitive pretentiousness with the dinner conversation. Just people sitting around telling basically the same pretentious story on repeat.

Tell me about it. I didn't care for the real life chefs scenes where they were talking about the first dish they ever made. Even Carmy didn't even care since he was so focused and staring at Joel McHale's character the entire time.

Awful waste of hours of my life ..

Everything about season three sucked!

It was so boring. Incredibly insider baseball and the audience be damned. So incredibly self-indulgent and lackluster.

I tapped out after season 2. It was just repetitive and never really went anywhere

season 3 way better than 2 not as good as 1. Season 3 much more of a character study with some great acting. Season 2 had way to much unrealistic kitchen operation that took me right out of the show.

The show kind of went of the rails, it insists on itself too much.

that's a great way of putting it, it does insist on itself too much, the entire thing is belly button picking, and while knowing this, and being aware THEY'RE ALL AWARE all the time about everything (a more self actualized group of people i've never seen before), the first two seasons were at least enjoyable viewing from a plot progression standpoint, this season, they just spaffed it all up against the wall, giving us nothing but belly button grazing

Nothing about bears Just another cooking show off & Pass why i dont watch TV anymore had enough these shows 1/2 the show is adds

I wasted my time. I’m so mad about this season

worst season of the bear. seems so off and no the bear as we know

The finale wasted too much time with those boring cameo chefs.

Season 3 was junk! Wasted, brainless writing filler. The background into the individuals was weak and my FFWD button got a workout. The reviews on IMDB must be fake and paid. Seriously, we're not interested in to be continued, this show tanked unfortunately.
