Note: This review contains spoilers from “The Bear” Season 3.

Let’s get right to the point, chefs, since every second counts: “The Bear” Season 3 is just as well-performed and emotionally resonant as the first two. The show continues to excel in depicting the multi-faceted and anxiety-provoking experience of working in hospitality, with its charming ragtag cast of characters.

That said, this ten-episode season is slower in narrative pace than viewers might be used to, taking stock of its characters’ pasts and focusing on trauma reconciliation while setting up an uncertain future for the Michelin-aspiring restaurant — and an electric Season 4.
