I loved it. Seeing Richie grow into his current position was very uplifting. The drama between Carmy, Natalie/Sugar, and their mother kind of explains a few of Camry’s decisions and character (ie, moving away from home to NYC, never letting people in). Family is a psychological nightmare. And as always, the “inner workings” of building a restaurant from the ground up or taking over a failing one is interesting (even if some of it is exaggerated for TV).
Here is my prediction for next season though
spoiler
- S3 will be the series finale with The Bear getting its first Michelin star
- Will see significant growth in Sydney as a leader and owner, and Carmy will likely handoff his ownership stake completely to Sydney, Richie, Natalie, or split it amongst them. Have seen throughout the series that Carmy does not enjoy restaurant life even though he is extremely talented.
