I will say this, though.
It's clear the director grew up near Chicago (he lived in a Cook County suburb), because the opening credits to the second episode were a giant cinematic love-letter to the city that made me really miss it.
Just watched S3E1 of The Bear, and ....
I feel like it was less a TV show, more a Culinary Koyaanisqatsi.
Not sure if that's a criticism, but not sure if it's a compliment either.
