Because fundamentally this is life: being stuck in your own mind, incapable for a (too) long time to face your own problems, let alone the issues you have with other people. This is why at the end of the tenth episode of this new season you can rightly feel that nothing really happened, that Carmy, Sydney, Richie, and the other guys didn\u2019t go through a meaningful narrative arc. And still, you can\u2019t stop rooting for them, embracing their flaws, and feeling the kind of human empathy that only layered characters can deliver to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Bear Season 3<\/strong> is at the core a psychological puzzle digging deeper into what we already experienced from the previous seasons: the value and the strength of the new episodes are in the chances that Storer takes exploring new ways to make the characters more compelling. This way we have a first episode that is a true, amazing labyrinth in Carmy\u2019s life that explains perfectly not only his background but most importantly his twisted mind and soul.<\/span><\/p>\n Again, nothing truly happens in this episode, but the mix of touching images, music, and atmosphere makes it pretty impossible to turn your eyes from it. This is possible especially because <\/span>Jeremy Allen White<\/b><\/a> is the kind of actor who knows when to hold a line just one more second and when to use silence to make his performance more effective. There are more than a few moments in this season where a close-up of his stunning blue eyes can convey to the audience the necessary emotional nuances. We don\u2019t honestly know if this makes him a great actor, but the charisma and the stage presence are quite undeniable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Next to him the rest of the cast delivers exactly what is needed for their characters: <\/span>Ayo Edebiri<\/b><\/a> is once again capable of working on Sydney\u2019s role with precision, and so is <\/span>Ebon Moss-Bachrach<\/b><\/a> with Richie. In these new episodes though,<\/span> Abby Elliott<\/b><\/a> as Natalie \u2018Sugar\u2019 Berzatto truly steps up as the biggest surprise of <\/span>The Bear Season 3<\/b>, building up her role\u2019s narrative until the compelling explosion of the eighth episode, which she dominates together with her \u2018mom\u2019 <\/span>Jamie Lee Curtis<\/b>. If the series would have ended there, far from the restaurant\u2019s drama, we would have nothing to complain about. In addition to that, when you keep filling the episodes with guest stars such as the returning <\/span>Jon Bernthal<\/b>, <\/span>Olivia Colman<\/b>, <\/span>Will Poulter<\/b>, the already mentioned Jamie Lee Curtis, plus a few surprises that we will not spoil to our readers, here you have a TV series that can rightfully be considered as one of the best in the last ten years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Bear<\/b> doesn\u2019t follow the rules of classic or modern storytelling applied to serial television: it never did, it doesn\u2019t with this third season and hopefully, it will not do it in the future. The courage of portraying the reality of people still being stuck with their personal demons – in the end, Carmy hasn\u2019t dealt yet with the grief of his brother\u2019s suicide – and give them the proper time to overcome (or succumb) to those, is a quality that must be totally endorsed. The only flaw of Season 3 is the slightly pointless open finale that doesn’t really fill with anticipation about the upcoming episodes. The characters and their inner pain do, and it\u2019s more than enough.<\/span><\/p>\n Rate: A-\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n If you like this review, share your thoughts below!<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Bear](\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Bear2.png\")
