The Bear (Hulu)

Season 3 is up as of yesterday, didn't see a thread for the show, so figured I'd start one. Such a great show, looking forward to getting back into it.

Watched ep1 last night, will watch more today.

Pretty artsy but damn well done first episode. Looking forward to getting back to our crew and the more standard format of the show.

If you've never watched the show, give the first episode a go (trailer below), if you even remotely click with how the story is told or the cast, you will have a hard time not watching more.

Trailers only spoilered because the embeds are ginormous.

Ep2 was a lot more of what I was looking forward to, though the bulk of the episode felt like an unhinged off script table read or something, lol.

This song for the intro though, I loved:

Season 3 was melancholy at best. There was no real forward trajectory, nor resolutions from the end of last season. Very disappointing.

It felt like the first half of a season. My least favorite of the 3, no interest in ever re-watching it really.

A lot of smaller moments I really enjoyed, but I missed the format of the first 2 seasons.

Season 4 is back tonight.

It feels like for about 90% of this show more happens on a season of Seinfeld than what happens with this restaurant staff.

That being said, the show is kind of like it's entrees, I have no business judging or even eating the fancy stuff they make, but I appreciate the quality and craftmanship that goes into producing this series.

It hasn't been renewed yet for season 5. I wouldn't be sad if it stopped after the finale of 4, but expect I would keep watching for as many seasons as they decide to make them.
