The Bear season 3 review: "Equal parts delicious and depressing"

The Bear.

As The Rolling Stones once said, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might just get what you need." That’s solid advice that has steered many a heartbroken or disappointed soul through some tough times, but in Season 3 of The Bear, we see our central trio face an even more challenging conundrum. What happens if you get what you want and it's absolutely not what you need?

To put it mildly, everyone is miserable on Season 3 of The Bear. Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) is doing a killer job running the front of the house of their newly titled fine dining establishment ‘The Bear’. However, he is still lonely, reeling from his ex-wife Tess’s (Gillian Jacobs) impending nuptials and no amount of success can make him recover from the loss of his best friend Mikey (Jon Bernthal). Sydney (woman of the moment Ayo Edibiri) is outwardly going from strength to strength, her talents in the kitchen are being recognized, and she’s running the passe with aplomb but it's all proving a bit too much, and imposter syndrome is setting in as she is afforded new opportunities.
