re: The Bear, Season 2 (Hulu) *spoilers*

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.
