I don't hate Syd like some do
She’s just so selfish and entitled.
Knowing that Carmy would ultimately sabotage his incredibly healthy relationship with Claire and watching her petulantly bully him into doing it for her own gain made me want to hit her with a bus.
I mean Jimmy did it too but at least it was his fricking money. And he also at the very least admitted that it made him “happier than anything” that Carmy had someone.

My issue with her character arc right now that I just don't believe it. And that grates on me (it's a minor complaint, I love the show, this is inside baseball bitching for fellow enthusiasts).
In my mind at least, chef's pining for a Michelin star and wanting to be tutored by an elite one are sociopaths, and she's not one. She's weak. Which is fine if that ends up being the story - that she's not cut out for this or her transitioning into someone who is, but this season they made her weak and whiny and a complete follower while seemingly positioning her to be the more committed/invested partner and the "pro" while Carmy is out chasing a girl.
Again, maybe that's part of the show and it annoying me is a success by the writers. But it just seemed a little off/unlikely. Her being the nose down, fast riser who is dominating the operations of the restaurant and increasingly getting the glory while Carmy struggles with distractions - that I'd buy. But she was mostly useless all season.
