“The Bear” Season 3 Review: Moments Amidst Lost Focus
The following piece evaluates Season 3 of “The Bear.” While major plot developments — including guest stars — have been withheld to preserve the viewing experience, the network has requested spoiler warnings on all reviews.
The second, much-improved season of “The Bear” was defined by a sense of momentum. Its 10 episodes were transitional in a literal sense, taking the FX half-hour from the closure of a family-owned Italian beef shop in Chicago’s River North to the opening of a fine dining concept in the same space.
Staff members developed dishes, supervised build-out and acquired skills with a singular purpose in mind, culminating in a hectic friends-and-family service that saw chef Carmy Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) freak out in a freezer.
Season 3 — the first to air after the series swept the comedy categories at this year’s Emmys, cementing its growth from breakout hit to incumbent juggernaut — lacks a similar focus.
The Beef has become The Bear; the obvious follow-up question is, what now? Under creator Christopher Storer’s frenetic, dissonant direction, Season 1 captured the grinding stress of an everyday kitchen on the constant verge of chaos. With the cast reunited in the new restaurant, Season 3 does the same for hospitality’s upper echelon, where employees wage a swanlike struggle to deliver a seamless experience to diners despite razor-thin profits and sky-high overhead.
Paired with the creative latitude afforded by its success, this blank slate affords “The Bear” opportunity and risk in equal measure. At times, the absence of a uniting goal allows Storer and co-showrunner Joanna Calo to continue adding texture to the monotony of restaurant life.
In a more heartening counterweight to last year’s “Seven Fishes,” this season’s stand-alone flashback gives insight into how sous chef Tina (Liza Colón-Zayas) came to join the team, and Carmy’s sister Natalie (Abby Elliott) gets a long-overdue spotlight when she goes into labor with her first child.
Cameos and Stunt Casting in The Bear Season 3
But not all detours this season are as effective, and without a fixed destination, the main narrative itself can get bogged down with repetition and stunt casting before the season ends with most storylines unresolved.
“The Bear” still finds moments of transcendence in its characters’ pursuit of professional excellence and personal growth, yet the show remains more fallible than its rapturous acclaim may imply.
At least the premiere front-loads the season’s weak points, giving viewers an accurate indication of what’s to come. After Carmy’s meltdown, which saw him lash out at his “cousin” turned general manager Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and accidentally alienate his girlfriend Claire (Molly Gordon), the high-strung chef spins out entirely. For the episode’s 37-minute duration, we remain largely in Carmy’s roving mind.
He ricochets among his memories, from his New York City stint under a tyrannical boss (Joel McHale) to happier times, either with Claire or in less hostile work environments.
The results can be lyrical and lovely; who doesn’t appreciate a glimpse of Copenhagen in warm weather, or a chance to see Olivia Colman’s Chef Terry again? It also tells us nothing we don’t already know, making room for cameos by a slew of culinary legends at the expense of moving the story forward. The structure would work for an extended cold open to establish Carmy’s mood; stretched to an entire episode, it’s an overindulgence. To quote Terry’s mantra, every second counts.
Back in the present tense, Carmy throws himself into the single-minded pursuit of perfection with complete disregard for everyone around him. When her brother insists on changing the menu every day, Natalie — now running the business side — balks at the food waste involved in R&D, and Richie rightfully points out the service side needs to be kept in the loop.
Worst of all, chef de cuisine Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) is quietly devastated to watch her onetime collaborator make unilateral edits to the dishes they labored over together. No wonder she can’t bring herself to sign a partnership agreement with a man who won’t treat her like a true partner.
“The Bear” wants to explore how cycles of abuse take hold in pressure cookers like professional kitchens, turning Carmy into the same kind of controlling egomaniac that’s rendered him an anxious mess. But opening the season by centering him so completely doesn’t set “The Bear” up to put Carmy in perspective with necessary distance. It also undoes some of last season’s work to broaden the show into a true ensemble.
There are moments where Syd puts Carmy in check. They’re also fleeting, and many, many montages illustrating Carmy’s state of mind end up crowding out more compelling arcs like pastry chef Marcus’ (Lionel Boyce) attempt to channel grief over the loss of his mother into his food.
Claire finally gets a handful of solo scenes that highlight her work as a physician, but this season, she’s reduced to what she’s always felt like, even as a more active presence: an abstract figure for Carmy to reminisce about and idealize from afar. As “The Bear” tries to highlight Carmy’s faults, like treating other human beings as props in his ongoing psychodrama, it ends up reproducing them.
This blurred line between commenting on a dynamic and perpetuating it extends elsewhere. In some ways, the season’s sometimes aimless feeling is part of its purpose. Even, and perhaps especially, at successful operations, restaurant life is a grueling hamster wheel.
There’s always another fire to put out, another benchmark to achieve. (Richie tells his ex-wife and co-parent that she can visit the restaurant when it’s “perfect,” an impossible aim; Carmy wants a Michelin star, though if The Bear got one, he’d just have to work to maintain it.) The only way out is to quit, as one of Carmy’s mentors opts to in a choice that looms over the season.
Yet maintenance and longevity are less compelling incentives than crossing the finish line of construction. Without an off-ramp in sight, the staff of “The Bear” are left to confront the problems opening didn’t solve, and in fact may exacerbate. Richie is still figuring out how to be a good dad; Sydney is still finding her voice as an artist and leader; Carmy is still a grown man who can’t text a girl he likes.
As in Season 1, the sense of stasis is true to life — and frustrating to watch. Without a cathartic climax, even supposed reprieves like deploying the Fak brothers (Matty Matheson and Ricky Staffieri) for comic relief quickly wear thin.
In Season 3, “The Bear” feels torn between two identities: a voice for the world of restaurants at large, and a specific story about a specific set of characters. As the culture’s most zeitgeist-y platform for the industry, there’s a sense of responsibility in how “The Bear” foregrounds the sentimental case for feeding others as a calling, as well as the price paid by those who pursue it.
Understandably, if less nobly, the show also seems eager to work the connections its popularity affords. Last season’s chef cameos were largely drawn from local Chicago spots, a tradition continued this year by Kasama’s Genie Kwon. Season 3 expands the talent pool to some of the food world’s leading luminaries, several of whom get extended monologues laying out their guiding philosophies.
At a certain point, such flourishes start to cross the line from enhancing the authenticity of “The Bear” to hindering its core mission. The finale, in particular, affords so much screen time to these visiting dignitaries that most protagonists get short shrift, just as the show should be planting the seeds for next season or at least tying off the one we’ve just watched.
When Tina has a heart-to-heart with Carmy’s brother Mikey (Jon Bernthal), whose suicide prompted Carmy’s return to the Midwest, a precisely rendered conversation between two driven, wounded human beings abruptly turns into a broad sermon on why people choose to work in restaurants. As “The Bear” has continued, it’s developed the Berzatto family dysfunction — and its collateral damage to the siblings’ colleagues — enough that there’s no need to rely on such generalizations.
The Berzatto Family and The Bear’s Core Mission
For “The Bear,” demonstrating its bona fides is a flex; understanding it doesn’t need them anymore would be a true sign of confidence.

Some shady personalities are making an unwelcome appearance in the Lego fandom, which is well-known to include children, teenagers, and adult collectors—and for all the wrong reasons.
Lego products, particularly the more expensive sets that cost $1,000 or more, are highly sought after by both lone shoplifters and larger organized retail crime rings. This is because the sets, which are displayed on store shelves, can be sold for a healthy profit through both legal and illegal channels.

Shoplifters Love Lego. The Colorful Plastic Toy Bricks Are A Gold Mine For Criminals
Miguel Zuniga is still coping with the June 18 break-in at his Bricks & Minifigs Lego resale franchise store in Lomita, Los Angeles County.
Around five in the morning on Tuesday, the Lego heist took place.
“The ADT security system called while I was sleeping. My wife then received a call. We were being robbed, so I went directly to the cameras,” Zuniga said to CNN.
Within ten minutes, he arrived at his store, but the robbers had left with an estimated $5,000 to $7,000 worth of Legos.
Retail crime specialists told CNN that Lego sets that have been stolen are easy to resale, usually difficult to track down, and, if they are in immaculate condition and unused, can fetch a price that’s not too far off the original retail price. Even well-maintained old sets might fetch 50% of their original cost.
Several states have had Lego thefts in recent months.
According to CNN affiliate KABC, authorities in California detained two individuals earlier this month in relation to a retail crime ring that reportedly stole thousands of Lego toys from multiple Southern California businesses.
According to a police statement cited in the story, more than 2,800 boxes of Lego toys, each with a retail value ranging from $20 to over $1,000, were found by LAPD detectives.
Police in Philadelphia have recorded several Lego set thefts in the last several months from stores like Barnes & Noble and Target; the stolen sets have been valued anywhere from $250 to $1,000 per. Target informed CNN that it was unable to provide any information regarding Lego thefts at its locations. An inquiry for comment was not immediately answered by Barnes & Noble.
Additionally, police in Richmond, British Columbia, just north of the border, found and confiscated more than a thousand pilfered toys in March. Lego sets and other soft toys valued at over $150,000 were among the pilfered items.
Among the most often taken goods
Lego sets are frequently in the top 10 most stolen retail products, along with branded jeans, purses, designer shoes, Olay skincare products, and Apple devices, according to experts, despite the difficulty in obtaining reliable statistics.
“Lego is different. Read Hayes, director of the Loss Prevention Research Council, which has Walmart, Target, Home Depot, and Gap as members, and a criminologist at the University of Florida, said, “The brand is always refreshing their offerings, always on trend with tie-ins to pop culture and special edition sets.”
Hayes told CNN that his company collaborates with most stores who sell Lego merchandise in addition to Legoland theme parks. “There is always a demand.”

Because of this, there is a growing market for counterfeit goods, particularly on the internet, in addition to the market for stolen Lego products.
Lego violations are nothing new to Wichita, Kansas, police captain Casey Slaughter, who oversees the department’s property crimes section.
Slaughter told CNN, “We see Lego toys as one of the more frequently stolen items in our area.” “Lego theft can happen to any retailer selling the brand, but there are also a few secondhand stores that specialize in Lego that have emerged as resellers.” They are under attack.
Lego thieves find it easy money, he claimed. He claimed that it was hard to find out where they were taken from.
Wichita Police looked into 19 Lego thefts between January 8, 2024, and May 7, 2024, according to information the police agency sent CNN. The information showed that among the stolen items were sets from the Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, and Star Wars movies.
When contacted for comment, Lego referred CNN to online tools on its website to teach customers how to recognize phony Lego products and online businesses.
Since April, a number of Bricks & Minifigs locations in California have experienced thefts.
“This is most likely our fourth or fifth Lego-themed hit. Regarding the heist of Zuniga’s store, Captain Calvin Mah of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s major crimes section stated in an interview with CNN that “they happen quickly, 30 seconds to a minute.”
“I could see that they were aiming for particular Lego pieces when I watched the security footage. They had a clear idea of what they wanted. They were looking for the uncommon or collectible sets, the high-end and high-value ones, he claimed.

When Zuniga told CNN about the robbery, she became tearful.
On the day of the break-in, Zuniga cleaned his store and then went home to take a shower.
He remarked, “I sent a bat signal to the community when I came back to come and support us in our time of need.” Consumers arrived; some even gave away their Lego sets. To stock empty shelves, he purchased Lego kits that were marked down at the neighborhood Target.
“The first customer that came in at nine in the morning was a 71-year-old who had built some of the most expensive Lego sets,” Zuniga recalled, sobbing uncontrollably. He’s a legend in our community. He arrived crying.

Are you interested in the tales behind renowned songs and their creators? Perhaps you’ve heard of Jimmy Buffett, the musician famous for “Margaritaville” and his laid-back beach music. However, one aspect of his life narrative gets little attention: his first wife, Margie Washichek.
She was there before he became famous, supporting him in ways many people are unaware of. Margie Washichek and Jimmy Buffett married in 1969 at St. Joseph’s Chapel, and their journey together began with optimism and music. Like many couples experiencing hardships, Jimmy pursued his goals in Nashville, putting his marriage under strain.
This essay sheds light on Margie Washichek’s secret narrative, from her early support to life following their separation. Are you ready to discover more about this secret chapter? Continue reading!
The Wedding of Margie Washichek and Jimmy Buffett
Margie Washichek and Jimmy Buffett exchanged wedding vows in a modest, lovely church. Soon after, they packed their bags for Nashville, believing Jimmy’s songs would become popular in the country music industry.
The Wedding at St. Joseph’s Chapel
Jimmy Buffett and Margie Washichek picked a particular location for their wedding day. They married in 1969 at St. Joseph’s Chapel, situated on the Spring Hill College campus. This church provided a stunning backdrop for their wedding, which marked the beginning of their lives together.
The couple’s choice to marry in such a special place demonstrated how much they valued tradition and building a solid foundation for their future. In Pascagoula, Mississippi, where Jimmy Buffett was born, the wedding at St. Joseph’s Chapel was more than simply a celebration; it signaled the beginning of what they hoped would be a long journey together.
Move to Nashville for Jimmy’s musical career.
Margie Washichek and her husband, James William Buffett, packed their bags for Nashville shortly after their wedding in 1969. Nashville was the center of the music business. Jimmy planned to make a huge impression there with his music.
If you wanted to be a country music star, this city was the place to go.
Jimmy worked hard in Nashville to stand out among the many aspiring artists. He performed shows at local venues and penned songs day and night, hoping that one of them might lead to an opportunity in the business.
Margie encouraged him every step of the way, believing in his skill and goal. While barriers were plentiful—competition was fierce, and successes were rare—they remained optimistic that Jimmy’s unique combination of country sounds would ultimately get noticed.
Problems in Jimmy and Margie’s Marriage
Jimmy’s attraction to another woman strained his marriage with Margie. They separated in September 1972, when the obstacles became unbearable.
Jimmy’s “obsession” with another woman.
Jimmy had affection for a young girl named Edith. This new hobby created problems in his marriage. The more he concentrated on Edith, the less attention he paid to his wife, Margie Washichek. Edith worked at a clothes business called The Looking Glass. Jimmy used to spend time outside the business. To get Edith’s attention, he played the guitar and created songs.
Divorce filing in 1972.
Margie Washichek and Jimmy Buffett officially ended their marriage in September 1972. After three years together, Jimmy filed for divorce, which demonstrated their intimate relationship as husband and wife.
The filing occurred at a time when both were facing personal issues. For Margie, the breakup of her marriage meant confronting a future without the man she had supported throughout his early music career moves in Nashville.
On the other hand, Jimmy saw this as a watershed moment in his career, and he finally married Jane Slagsvol in 1977. But where is Edith? We have very little information on her as yet.
Margie Washichek’s Post-Divorce Life
The narrative continued even after Jimmy Buffett and Margie Washichek parted ways. Jimmy carefully included a sincere acknowledgment of Margie’s influence on his life in his songs. Despite winning the title of Miss USS Alabama, Margie stayed quiet after her divorce. However, there are reports that she lived quietly and began her life with someone else.
Jimmy made a gesture of recognition.
Following their divorce, Jimmy Buffett did something kind for Margie Washichek. He took a Mercedes and left her. This was not simply a vehicle; it was his method of expressing gratitude. He wanted to express his gratitude for all of her kindness and encouragement, particularly in the early goings of his Nashville music career.
This gesture demonstrates that Jimmy acknowledged Margie’s contribution to his career and life even after they parted ways. Jimmy’s leaving the Mercedes was more than a present; it was an acknowledgment of Margie. It highlighted how important she had been working behind the scenes to help him through good times and bad.
This is a reminder that when it comes to showing thanks to someone who has supported you through difficult times, sometimes deeds speak louder than words. Jimmy battled skin cancer for a while before passing away on September 1, 2023.
The Part Margie Played in Jimmy’s Early Career
In the early years of Jimmy Buffett’s career, Margie Washichek was more than simply a name associated with him. She was there for him when uncertainties obstructed his way, lending her support. Her faith in his aspirations gave him the will to compose and perform songs that would eventually win over millions of listeners.
She supported him as he performed at modest venues and made great efforts to establish himself in Nashville’s packed music halls. Not only did she provide emotional support, but she also took on practical duties so Jimmy could concentrate on his profession.
Margie’s persistent commitment was vital in creating the foundation for Cameron Marley Buffett’s legendary family heritage. From handling tight money to navigating the vagaries of the music business, they overcame many obstacles on their voyage, demonstrating the strength of collaboration from the start of a remarkable career.
Conclusions
Jimmy Buffett and Margie Washichek’s voyage sheds light on a little-known tale. Every stage of their journey, from their chapel wedding to their challenges and eventual separation, had a unique story to tell.
It illustrates how love can be put to the test by success and may leave lasting scars. Even after they broke up, Jimmy showed Margie that he valued her in his ascent to prominence by gifting her a vehicle. This historical fragment provides us with more than just hearsay; it teaches us about perseverance, encouragement, and the intricacies of interpersonal interactions while pursuing one’s goals.
