We’re back in Chicago this week for our review of The Bear, season 3, episodes 1 through 5. Jodie and Andrea talk about the declaration of intent that is “Tomorrow,” how the aspects of The Bear we’ve argued make it a standout carry over and intensify in season 3, the (im)balance of character growth versus plot, what we’re hoping to see in the back half of season 3, and why you better stay out of the dream weave, Carmen.
