Watching The Bear S3 and....way too much directing, not nearly enough writing. This was a good show until it started to believe it was a great one. Now it just feels pokey and self-important, sort of as if a great sandwich shop decided to turn into tedious fine dining.

Have only seen the first 3 episodes thus far, but…yup.

I liked it a lot but also found it kind of sad that they’d fallen into their version of the Guy Ritchie trap where everything has to be a sequence

First time I've ever disagreed with you! So glad to have a show that's not so rigidly written, more interested in being sensually stimulating than narratively propulsive. And as an artist, I see the seasons as stages of becoming yourself as an artist in any medium, not a showrunner's navel gazing.

I'm halfway through. Loved eps 1-2, then either bored or offended by one particularly dissonant stunt casting.

Couple great episodes, but a surprising amount of sheer boredom, particularly in the second half.

So disappointing. Even depressing given the week we're having. I did love "Ice Chips," almost as good as "Fishes." Carmy's face isn't what they think it is (it was minor on those awful Calvin Klein ads.) The addle-pated flashbacks, please. I was so excited...until I wasn't.

In episode 2 where each new character in the scene said they thought they were stroking out whenever the lights flickered was some hacky shit that was extremely out of tone.

currently writing a piece about this, and the idea of a show not actually trusting the strengths of its medium

Episode 1 could have been a slide show

I'm beginning to hate watching it, but it's not funny enough to hate-watch it. Seeing Christopher Storer's credit when the screen goes black just makes me roll my eyes.

Yes, they have lost the storytelling and the people!
