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.

Phillip Maciak The New Republic While there’s still plenty of self-indulgence, the show has pared itself down, trying to focus on what works. What that means, though, is that The Bear focuses on what has worked. This fourth season is a real set of classic covers. Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Rebecca Tucker Globe and Mail The Bear’s evolution suggests a creative team that has simply lost its spark. And it’s a shame, really – we used to have something truly special. Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Radheyan Simonpillai CBC Radio This is the season that these characters really needed. And there's something really beautiful in giving them that. Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …Season 4 at least sets things back on track by addressing the key narratives…The Bear somewhat regains its mojo here, maybe this show isn’t as good as it was, but on this evidence of resurgence, there’s still no reason to shut up shop just yet… Rated: 4/5 Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Hannah Brown Jerusalem Post Even better news is that season four, which starts out slowly, ends up being very much a return to form for the beloved restaurant-centered series. Jul 7, 2025 Full Review Rachel Ho Exclaim! Because ['The Bear'] lit such an extraordinary flame from the start, its longevity was always going to be limited, and the sooner the creators accept it, the better. Rated: 5/10 Jul 4, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Kaden A. Season 4 of The Bear still doesn’t move at the breakneck pace of the first two seasons but exceeds the predecessor by adding more layers to our characters and showing some key character arcs. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Bandit K Worst season. Used to be a one of biggest fans from S1 to S3. But S4 is really terrible. Barely finished EP7. Such a let down Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review dave b I know what you are thinking. 1/2 star?! WTF! 5 stars for the actors and their acting. 5 stars for cinematography. 5 stars for the stories. But, 0 stars for the last episode where NO A SINGLE STORY LINE is resolved. There must be at least 10 dangling stories. What if season 5 never happens? So frustrating. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Jose R. Any show that makes me cry deserves 5 stars. Lots of people complain about the show not focusing on the restaurant, but the people in it make the restaurant. The comedy, and the drama balances each other. Jeremy, Ayo, Ebon, Jamie Lee killed their roles. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review ishmeet s Here’s my take on this show. This is my first time ever leaving a review for a tv show but this one drove me to the point that I wanted to leave one in hopes that producer or director of this show somehow reads this and doesn’t mess up upcoming seasons. Here it goes: this show has so much potential with great story line. Great cinematography and great acting. Season 1-3 is good with some episodes going side track from the main point of the show “it’s restaurant” but still held it down. Season 4 however is a complete wreck. Every episode is a drift away from its main story line with very little food and restaurant action and more on the sidelines of unrelated drama. It feels like they ran out of ideas on how to develop more of its story and just started filling episodes with complete nonsense that just seems like a drag on. I really hope they come back to its roots and get better in season 5 or this is it for me. What a waste of great storyline that had so much potential. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Andrés P Too stressful. There needs to be something good at least for half an episode Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Read all reviews
