What are your thoughts on season 3 of the Bear?

I’ve only watched the first two episodes of season 3, but episode 1 was too artsy/quiet/didn’t see the point. Episode 2 just seemed to want to shock me with all the fu language again. I thought we were past all of that. Should I tough it out and keep going?

There’s one later episode that I thought was great but mostly this season made me ask if I ever liked this show or if I changed or something. I kinda hated this season and it just seemed like the creators were up their own ass and didn’t feel like they had to have a plot.

The show is exceptionally well-made, but Jesus do they waste a lot of time. I like flashbacks and setting aside episodes to focus on secondary characters but almost this entire season was just self-important “serious filmmaker” content.

What annoyed me about that first episode was they just had the same song on loop for the entirety of the episode. I kept thinking “surely they’re going to switch it up anytime now” and then I would hear the song start up again and roll my eyes. Whole episode felt like a complete waste of time. 2nd episode was better but still meh. I’ll probably watch the rest at some point but idk it didn’t draw me in like the other seasons
