I still love the gang at The Bear, with the exception of Carmy, whose solipsism has become a bore. More TJ, less Carmy, I’m thinking after “Worms.” His apology to Claire made me want to shake him. The world is full of overgrown little boys who can’t get their shit together and grow up, but that doesn’t make their wheel spinning interesting to watch.

Agreed, co-sign, agreed—let women write it. I haven't gotten that far into this season yet, but I can't wait to see the episode Ayo wrote.
