Finished it over the weekend.
Definitely a step back from seasons 1 and 2. But still a really solid season and would be top tier for just about any other series right now.
My two biggest issues were that A) We didn't get enough actual kitchen chaos time, the character development overall was good but I feel like they got away from what made the show so fantastic to begin with, the chaos in the kitchen. And then B) The feud between Ritchie and Carmy felt forced the longer it went on. First few episodes it felt natural, but the more it went on with them practically refusing to interact or acknowledge each other for the entire season(Which was also like 2 months in time) it started to feel forced. Especially based on their interactions in the first two seasons, I just have a real hard time they wouldn't have patched things up by the end of the season. Especially by the time they attended the funeral meal in the finale.
I thought John Cena was awesome honestly. I get that the Faks were a bit much overall this season, but I thought John Cena played his role so well. I dunno if his cameo was leaked or anything before but I was completely shocked when he showed up and thoroughly enjoyed his appearance. The "Haunting" was definitely a contributing factor in the Faks getting to be too much afterwards though.
Still gets a solid 8/10 for me, but Season 1 and 2 were arguably both 10/10s in my books(I'd probably give Season 1 a 9.5, Season 2 a legit 10/10) so its definitely a step back, from "The best series going right now" to very good.
I am going to be very curious to see how Season 3 feels once Season 4 releases though. I read they wrote both seasons together and filmed them back to back, and that if you treat Season 3 more as a 3A, and then Season 4 as 3B, a lot of what takes place begins to make more sense.
