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 Kathryn Reklis The Christian Century Change rarely comes in a straight line, in people, a kitchen, or a television show. But I’ve been nourished by what’s been served so far, and I am going to stick around until the end of the meal. Sep 11, 2025 Full Review Denise Zubizarreta LatinaMedia.Co Season 4 hits different. The tension is gone, like someone left the back door open and all the heat escaped. Rated: D Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Victor Pineyro Seventh Art Studio Why label The Bear a comedy? After 4 seasons, the comedic tension has turned into pure drama, but it's also an ode to precision editing telling human stories without grandure, millennial collisions with reality and vulnerability.

Audience Member No one but THE BEAR is THE BEAR. Do not go down that path. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/25 Full Review Erik O This is still a great show, and this is one of its best seasons, much better than the third season. There are too many paid and unpaid critics who are unable to apprehend, let alone appreciate, the arc and pace of story telling in good drama (and no, this is not really a comedy). That there are so many professional critics who thought, say, Night Country was a great show and didn’t like this season of The Bear is a sign of gross incompetence in their ranks. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/25 Full Review Jimmy J Good show to nap while watching Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review Harry v Even though the clock is ticking this season, not once did I feel any of the tension I felt in the first two seasons. The show is 't really going anywhere and characters just meander on l. Feel like the show doesn't really have any more stories to tell. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review Noah S. Incredible acting all around, but ever since the season 2 finale, it feels like the show is going nowhere. I thought this was the last season, and I’m happy it’s not because I did not like how it ended, but hopefully the next (and I hope the last) season will resolve the very slow burn I have with the show. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/30/25 Full Review Richard F The wonderful and cutting dialogue is gone, the humor is non-existent and the main focus that drew everyone in is also gone. There is way too much self-indulgent whining and too many story lines that meant nothing. I actually couldn't make it though the whole season, a shame.
