‘The Bear’ Takes a Step Down in an Aimless Season 3 That Leans Too Heavily on Star Power: TV Review
In Season 3, FX's 'The Bear' takes a step down with an aimless season that leans too heavily on star power.
Staff members developed dishes, supervised build-out and acquired skills with a singular purpose in mind, culminating in a hectic friends-and-family service that saw chef Carmy Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) freak out in a freezer. In a more heartening counterweight to last year’s “Seven Fishes,” this season’s stand-alone flashback gives insight into how sous chef Tina (Liza Colón-Zayas) came to join the team, and Carmy’s sister Natalie (Abby Elliott) gets a long-overdue spotlight when she goes into labor with her first child. They’re also fleeting, and many, many montages illustrating Carmy’s state of mind end up crowding out more compelling arcs like pastry chef Marcus’ (Lionel Boyce) attempt to channel grief over the loss of his mother into his food.
