Yeah, echoing the common sentiment about season 3 of The Bear. For me it was all of the stress, none of the payoff, made worse by how it ended. My wife made the point that they were using flashbacks so heavily throughout this season (including the entire Tina episode), that the season felt a bit like a clip-show. And I'm not even sure that much of that additional backstory was that useful.
There were episodes (like #8) that I might have liked on their own, but were just preventing any sort of momentum. And maybe there's a bit of a point there, we can't pick things to happen when we want them to, for some things there's never a 'right time'. But it didn't make for a great viewing experience.
