Season 3 of “The Bear” Goes Deep, Revealing More About Family, Feelings, and Fallout from Addiction and Then Stops Short

FX’s highly anticipated Season 3 of the multi-award-winning series “The Bear” finally dropped on June 27. And, of course, as all faithful fans did, I stayed up way past bedtime and binged it in 3 days. This one feels like a lukewarm appetizer, a setup for things to come, with miles of flashbacks filling in many backstories. However, the storyline only inches forward, resulting in everything and nothing happening simultaneously. While we get more into the psyche of characters we have come to love, multiple cliffhangers leave us starving for more and praying for Season 4.

SOBER POP CULTURE
Nurse Jackie” Reflects the Best and Worst of Ourselves

By the end of watching all seasons of the hit TV series “Nurse Jackie,” I felt sick to my stomach. The endless examples of an addict’s struggle with unrelenting patterns of lying, deceit, betrayal, self-centeredness, recklessness, denial, heartlessness, and acting out behaviors were harsh reminders of the truth of this mental illness.
