Season 3

This will be of little interest to most, but I struggled through the beginning of season 3 of "The Bear" on Hulu. Episodes 1 and 2 were nothing but a continuation of all the screaming and cursing from the last season which I enjoyed as they created a fine dining eatery after the sandwich place from before with the money his dead brother stashed away in tomato sauce cans.  The cacophony from all the yelling and discontent with all the staff members really got to me.  I thought the writers really lost there mojo and something was missing.  We stopped viewing the show for quite a while being disenchanted.

I started up recently when Judy was out with the end of the third episode and the flavor of the ensemble started shining thru again.  With less focus on Carmy and Sydney,  smaller characters stories were being told and expanded upon.  These have been poignant and touching, especially the middle aged Hispanic lady that is a sous chef.  There was one whole story on her losing her job and the struggle to get anything in that her husbands cmployment as a doorman was not enough to pay the rent and feed the family.  In a last ditch effort,  she goes into their Chicago Beef sandwich shop, falls apart with her frustration and has a heart to heart with Michael,  the brother about life and dreams and gets offered a job.  Among other things, he tells her that this place will make her happy even though the pay is sub par.

I am kind of hooked again.  Will watch all the episodes with Judy if she is interested.

Getting used to all the cursing.  The British crime shows same to have no language restrictions and this follows suit.  Words are words.  Very little is shocking.  Our society and the vernacular is moving in this direction for good or bad.  

Thats it for now

stay safe

all for now
