The Bear - Série 3

After the second season, expectations were high. But The Bear only partially delivered. It’s still incredibly eccentric, with everyone seemingly on the brink of madness. The first episode feels a bit self-indulgent, showcasing stunning cinematography but lacking in story. Visually impressive, but ultimately empty. The plot doesn't advance much, though episode six stands out as the most emotional. The finale, true to form, teases the next season, hinging on one pivotal scene. Despite this, I'm genuinely curious to see what happens next. (05/08/2024)

The aftertaste of Carmy's explosion overshadows the joy of The Bear finally open. All that remains is the routine, the cooking failures, the pursuit of perfection that never ends. Some episodes are a study in matching image, music and editing. Perfect diction even without a story without dialogue. The strongest episode is about a lady in late middle age who gets laid off and has to look for a job and there's no place for her anywhere. Jon Bernthal steals the best scene of the third season when he tries to figure out why the lady is crying. The ending is sombre, yet solemn as funerals tend to be. Leaves the question hanging in the air. (20/09/2024)
