    The article contains several examples of inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to authority. It provides a detailed description of the various celebrity guest stars and cameos in the third season of 'The Bear', using strong language to emphasize their significance. The author also uses superlatives such as 'star-studded' to describe the season, which can be considered an appeal to authority. However, no formal fallacies were found.

    The article contains editorializing and sensationalism. The author uses phrases like 'clanging, wailing beast', 'volcano of self-loathing', and 'hug's are all rib-cracking, suffocating, too much'. These phrases are not objective descriptions but rather the author's subjective opinions.
    • The show loves tight spaces, the pressures of close quarters. Its hugs are all rib-cracking, suffocating, too much.
    • The Bear season 3 is a volcano of self-loathing.
  • Fallacies (80%)
    The author uses repetition in her description of the show's style and tone, which can be considered a form of redundancy. She also makes a comparison between the characters on the show and real chefs appearing on it, implying that their presence is excessive and takes away from the overall experience. This can be seen as an appeal to authority fallacy if taken out of context.
    • ]The show often name-drops actual restaurants, and many real chefs appear as themselves. (This season, they appear a bit too much: Save it for the endless mutual appreciation societies on Top Chef.[/]
    • In one scene at the end of this season, Carmy and Luca, Carmy’s old chef pal, reminisce about how many peas they shucked for a certain dish while working together. Sydney says it sounds like ‘a trauma dish.’

    • Streaming services often prioritize binge-watching for subscriber retention and generating clicks rather than focusing on the artistic aspect of the show.
    • The binge model can disadvantage shows by speeding up production and not allowing changes after the fact.
  • Accuracy
    • The Bear’s third season was released all at once.
    • The binge model may be better for bringing customers to a streamer’s app as they revisit the service multiple times in one week, passively discovering other content.
  • Deception (30%)
    The article makes several statements that imply facts without providing sources, which is a form of selective reporting. For example, the author states 'industry watchdogs like Parrot Analytics say typically have a 'decay rate' of about eight weeks from their initial release.' and '75% of the most popular shows in the US in 2023 were released weekly.' These statements are not backed up by any sources within the article. Additionally, there is an instance of emotional manipulation when the author expresses frustration over The Bear's entire third season being dumped all at once and how it burns fast and hot, controls the cultural conversation around Emmy nomination voting, and then crashes right after.
    • Why in the world did The Bear’s entire third season just get dumped in one go?
    • 75% of the most popular shows in the US in 2023 were released weekly.
    • industry watchdogs like Parrot Analytics say typically have a 'decay rate' of about eight weeks from their initial release.

  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive as it encourages speculation about the content of a restaurant review without providing any concrete information. The author attempts to decode the flashes of words and phrases seen in the article, offering their own interpretations which are not based on factual evidence.
    • So what does that review say? At the end of the third season of The Bear, Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) looks at his phone late one night and sees a review of his new restaurant, The Bear, in the Chicago Tribune. All we see are flashes of words and phrases, some seemingly good and some seemingly bad...
