'The Bear' can't wait any longer for Carmy to evolve

In the latest season of The Bear, cousin Richie insults chef Carmy with a memorable dig during one of their rapid-fire kitchen fights, calling him a "baby replicant who's not self-actualized."

The line, which appears to be a Blade Runner reference, gets a laugh. It also sums up not just Carmy's trajectory over the show's three seasons, but also the frustrating nature of its latest outing. Season 3 leaves its terrific actors and their superbly flawed characters flailing in a tedious study of professional trauma.
