Welcome to the June juggernaut of jams and dramas! First up, “The Bear” is slicing back into our lives with Season 3 on Hulu and Disney Plus. The culinary drama, which has kicked up a storm with its budget-friendly and high-flavor content in its past seasons, now seems to buckle under expectations like a flimsy kitchen stool. Carmy and his culinary crew are facing the heat of both high costs and an ever-disheartening customer base. While critics are still dubbing it “great” and an admittedly “stressful” watch, they also toss around words like “aimless” and “messy,” making fans chew on the possibility that the series might be losing its Michelin star.
Next, chuckle through your cringes with Netflix’s new rom-com “A Family Affair,” where the storyline cooks up a quirky yet questionable dish. Imagine a self-obsessed movie star, played by Zac Efron, secretly romancing the mother of his unsuspecting personal assistant—served with a side of Nicole Kidman’s glamour. Touted as the heavily sedated sibling of “The Idea of You,” it promises A-list performances in a plot that might not even make it to the kids’ table at Netflix’s movie banquet.
And if intergalactic adventure mixed with childhood nostalgia is your thing, Apple TV Plus’s “WondLa” invites you to a buffet of aliens and otherworldly fauna. This series, sprouting from Tony DiTerlizzi’s imagination, swirls together elements of “Fallout,” “Avatar,” and “Moana” into a cocktail of animated exploration, suggesting that it might just bloom into one of the powerful picks of the platform’s offerings.
**Hot Take**
If you’re planning a weekend of stream-hopping, you’re in for a buffet of bizarre botches and charismatic concoctions. Whether you’re indulging in culinary chaos with “The Bear,” cringing at crisis-driven rom-coms, or traveling to other-worldly wonderlands in “WondLa,” your taste buds for drama and comedy are set for a spicy surprise. Just remember, not all that streams is gold, but there’s always something worth watching—or at least worth mocking with friends.
