I loved the first two seasons of The Bear and it flowed extremely well. Unfortunately, the third season is really choppy because of all the ads that Hulu has this year. It's hard to keep up with the story when there's 3 minutes of story and then a minute and a half of ads.
The first two episodes were very difficult to watch. Finally, in the third episode it got into more of The Bear of the past. But the damn commercials! Very frustrating. Hulu is ruining this show.
