A young chef from the fine dining world comes home to Chicago to run his family sandwich shop after a heartbreaking death in his family. A world away from what he's used to, Carmy must balance the soul-crushing realities of small business ownership, his strong-willed and recalcitrant kitchen staff and his strained familial relationships, all while grappling with the impact of his brother's suicide. As Carmy fights to transform both the shop and himself, he works alongside a rough-around-the-edges kitchen crew that ultimately reveals itself as his chosen family.

Lauren Sarner New York Post Despite its flaws in narrative focus — or lack thereof — “The Bear” remains an emotional show filled with top performances. Jan 4, 2025 Full Review David Bianculli NPR It's the best food-oriented TV series since Julia Child's "The French Chef." And Christopher Storer and his other writers and directors present montages of food preparation that are beautiful, exotic and mesmerizing all at once. Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic The Bear is still extraordinarily artful... But the show also appears less interested in telling a story than in offering an immersive trip for viewers into the recesses and faulty wiring of Carmy’s brain. Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Tatat Bunnag Bangkok Post The show's signature blend of chaotic kitchen drama and introspective character arcs remains as compelling as ever. Dec 23, 2024 Full Review Laura Fernández El Pais (Spain) What Christopher Storer and his sister Courtney continue to do with The Bear —whose third season has just landed and is consumed at breakneck speed because it only gets better: the rise is meteoric and unstoppable— is history. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Tara Ariano Cracked While the tragedy that catalyzes the plot of The Bear has been text since the first season, that tragedy has steadily crept out of the deep background and now lives in the middle of practically every frame, crowding the comedy out in the process.

Jay C Poor, poor, and more poor. Very little of the character dynamic found earlier. We've never watched any show that had scenes that never seemed to stop and get its point across. Way beyond painful. It was like...WTF?! So disappointing. The writer's should be thrown out. This season should be renamed "Syd". Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Kaden A. Some really good moments and high-high’s in this season that show why the Bear is some of the best content on television. Unfortunately, for this shows standards, season 3 slows way down and lacks some of the key moments that made the first two seasons good. It breaks down to this though, an average The Bear season is still better than an average shows best season. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Josh C. Okay third season, felt like a part one of a full season. Performances are great but the story feels stagnant. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/11/25 Full Review Paul S The first two seasons of The Bear were outstanding and must see. The third is good but really doesn't hit the mark in the same way as the first two. It's slightly dull and kind of depressing to watch. The character of Carmy just sort of fades into the background and becomes just an annoyance. There are still some great individual episodes but the season just doesn't compare to what came before. Here's hoping they get things back on track for season 4. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Anthony D The Bear season three. I have held off until now, that season four is out to give an honest review, but with hindsight. This show I think, struggled a bit in season three, because it tried to put everything in the soup, if you’ll excuse the pun. It has a lot of high points, and when you are rooting for the crew, and seeing their backs stories, something just happens, and I’m not sure how to explain it, but you hit a wall. Overall, the season was good nowhere near as interesting or gripping as seasons, 1 and 2, but it’s good. There are some new additions to the cast, which do bring a breath of fresh air. Everything they have built up in this season, is paying off in season four. So yes, it’s still a recommend in one of my favorite shows on TV. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review paul b Still interesting but probably 2 seasons was enough feels like inventing drama to keep it going id like the story to be two seasons to work things out and then the restaurant happily functions for the next twenty years so its not worth making any more drama about it ….. snd tge cast and crew go on to make other interesting stories Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
