Jeremy Allen White and the best ensemble cast on TV go slower and cut deeper in a third season of tracking a dysfunctional Chicago restaurant family in the art of making art and emotional chaos. Dizzying, demanding, and utterly dazzling, it’s an indisputable TV classic.
As magnificent as television ever gets.

The thoughtfulness of storytelling and craft of cooking are on full display from the first minute of the bear season 3. Backstories are flushed out and given room to breathe while still capturing the chaotic vibe of getting your ass kicked during a particularly harried service. The Bear brings it while strengthening it’s culinary bona fides.

SEASON 3
On an episode-by-episode basis, the third season of The Bear is as good as anything the show has ever done. Possibly better? .... Indecision can be exciting and I found the risks The Bear takes in these 10 episodes to be thrilling. But if you’re hoping to see things progress at an adrenalized rate, this is a season in limbo that reflects its main characters and their respective holding patterns. It all builds to a finale that’s impossibly joyful and impossibly miserable, perhaps as pure an evocation of the rollercoaster of depression as I’ve ever seen on television.
There is no doubt that The Bear remains among the very best shows on television, its own non-negotiables – a singular marriage of peace and chaos framed in superb camerawork and terrific performances – are all present and correct. Could it have pushed it more in season three, let it rip, strived ever more for excellence and vibrant collaboration? I know what Carmy would say.
In many ways, The Bear’s latest season is the same circus of agita and the beauty of human connection it has always been. .... But The Bear, like the in-show restaurant, is clearly undergoing a transformation, one that may prove that the fans who were perplexed by the show’s inclusion in the comedy awards categories were right. And it’s not an entirely successful transformation.
The cast are still exceptional – particularly Moss-Bachrach and Edebiri, elevated to TV’s A-list since the show first aired – but the show is starting to feel repetitious.
A bafflingly bad batch of episodes that gravely misjudge the series’ appeal. .... The new season suffers from both a surfeit of ideas and a lack of vision, relegating beloved relationships to the background while larding the show with characters and story lines that fail to compel. .... “The Bear” has lost the plot—even the food looks unappetizing this season.
The ideas conveyed were not complex enough to warrant the slow burn. Lack of narrative progression takes me on a journey that went from hope, then apathy, and finally contempt.
The only reason I gave it 5 stars is that the filming style, interesting premise (though running out of steam), and good acting prop it up.
I think throughout the course of 10 episodes approximately 1 episode of narrative progression occurred. Great show to watch while multi-tasking as you can zone out for 5 minutes and miss only irrelevant side missions that you're unlikely to be invested in.

Kinda pretentious and boring. lofi hip hop beats the bear to study/relax to. Might enjoy it if I was stoned enough.
