Finally got through season 3 of the leftovers. Despite it being a bit ridiculous and tiresome at times, the ending was strangely comforting.

The Bear Season 3
Mmmm. Not convinced. Some good moments but overall a disappointment for me. I thought they’d said they were only making 3 seasons and now I hear they’ve got number 4 in the pipeline already. Feels like they are stretching enough content for one season over two seasons.

I think I’m with you. We’ve not finished it yet but have watched maybe 7 episodes. We always have a laugh at any show that has a montage, and it seems right from the first episode The Bear 3 relies heavily on them and repetition.
The other thing is the waste. Not just the food but the wasted energy, the shouting, the stress. It all seems a bit unnecessary.
I understand the goal is perfection but for who? Who’s it all for.
I can’t say that any of the dishes they are trying to perfect really appeal to me, whereas the Original beef sandwich look amazing.

Enjoyed Speak No Evil and I Saw the TV Glow over the weekend. I have White Noise and Holy Motors lined up for this weekend.
Must mention Neptune Frost which I saw a few weeks ago. Very artsy but almost like a two hour music video.

Oh yeah, Coherence was good. +1’s for Processor and Infinity Pool (one i like to rewatch quite a lot) too. Any love for Crimes of the Future?

I was thinking of Timecrimes. That’s decent too.
Unpopular opinion: I think The Bear is over-rated. I do think its very good, especially S1 but its not top tier imo. Havent seen the new ones yet.

Reform potentially doing so well is a bit of a sad reflection

It is. Hopefully a protest vote and they’ll prove themselves useless. Would love to see the back of Farage though.

Channel 4 coverage more entertaining and definitely more scathing.
