The Bear has been captivating fans for the past two years, but lately viewers have been distracted by some continuity issues plaguing the show’s current season.
The third season debuted on June 26, and viewers have already noticed some issues that have left them scratching their heads.
Fans criticized a notable editing error that affected Richie’s (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) character in the show’s fifth episode, titled Children.
Richie had finally taken off his wedding ring earlier in the season when he split from his ex-wife Tiffany, but the ring mysteriously reappeared during a phone call with Jessica (played by Sarah Ramos).
“I love continuity errors. In #TheBear S3E5 when Richie is on the phone about Chef Terry’s restaurant closing, in one scene he’s wearing a wedding ring and then after a cut and back he’s not wearing a wedding ring,” another asked.
The bear has been captivating fans for the past two years, but viewers have been distracted lately by some continuity issues plaguing the show’s current season, including Richie’s (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) (Jeremy Allen White and Ebon in the show’s second season) disappearing wedding ring.
“Richie’s wedding ring continuity lol #TheBear,” one fan tweeted on X.
“The lack of continuity in The Bear 3×05. No ring, ring, no ring again,” noted another.
Not only that, but fans denounced another plot discrepancy revolving around Tina (Liza Colón-Zayas), as her character’s backstory doesn’t line up with what viewers had already learned about her on the show.
This comes after The Bear debuted to its highest numbers ever in its third season.
The show, produced by FX, racked up more than 5.4 million views worldwide in its first four days of streaming, Hulu announced Monday, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The series, created by Christopher Storer, stars Jeremy Allen White as Carmen ‘Carmy’ Berzatto and Ayo Edebiri as Sydney Adamu.
The cast also includes Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, Edwin Lee Gibson, Matty Matheson, Corey Hendrix and Oliver Platt.
