 While yes, this could make for a frustrating watch at times, I gotta say, I still really loved The Bear this year. The premiere was a unique and thrilling collage of memories that gave audiences so much insight into Carmi's mind. The wonderful sixth episode flushed out Tina's backstory and featured one of my favorite performances of Jon Bernthal's career, and then the season finale generated plenty of narrative momentum to carry us into what I expect will be a great fourth season.
