Probably the weakest season of The Bear yet. It really drags its heels in regard to all of its major characters' storylines, none of which really feel substantial enough to last a whole season, and then they have the audacity to resolve basically none of them and leave it hanging for a fourth season. It's telling that most of the season's best episodes are the ones that are able to tell more isolated, complete stories. The Bear has gotten too addicted to its own serialization, too comfortable in the fact that it's primarily a streaming show. It needs to recapture that old magic because if I wasn't invested in these characters from the previous seasons, would I really want to see where the story goes next that badly? Favorite episode: Napkins
