Speaking of showrunners spinning the wheels, I have to say I'm very disappointed in The Bear Season 3; I'm all for character moments and decompression, but literally three Things Of Importance happen all season - a character is pregnant, a review is written of the restaurant, and a character has to sign a contract - of which only one actually gets fucking resolved when they have a baby.
I'll follow where someone is going if I trust they know where that is, but when you spend a quarter of your runtime on a cold open that is a documentary about magicians that eventually reveals itself to be something a character is watching on TV, or endless montages of instagram food reels, I think its all getting a little self indulgent.
