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 Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com It has its slow boil moments but when it is really cooking it is entertainment at its best. Make room for me under the table. Rated: 8/10 Jul 14, 2025 Full Review Alison Gillmor Winnipeg Free Press The writers still want to acknowledge the kitchen’s teamwork — in terms of both cooking and acting — but they are focusing more on the main characters, an approach that culminates in the extraordinary bottle episode that ends the season. Jul 14, 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 Read all reviews

Fabián S Very hard to watch. So slow! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Benjamin H It isn't airtight and perfectly structured all the way through, but The Bear continues to be compelling television that sidelines some of its trademark chaos in favor of more heartwarming storytelling with the same marvellous writing, direction and acting this show has provided throughout. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Lucas T Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Aaron K Talk about a show that's done nothing but go downhill after an amazing first season. This season was agonizing. Nothing happens until 10 minutes before the end of the last episode. I don't blame him from ducking out either, I will be too. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Zack I. Finally getting away from the endless B-Roll that was season 3, the Bear goes back to its roots of pulling heartstrings. Coupled with an ending I did not like but cant argue this season was one of its best. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Dylan R The bear is an absolute return to form with its use of consistency and very tight writing allowing for a very strong narrative that while moving in other directions never goes off the intended track. It's close examination of the characters itself instead of the restaurant gives us a more in depth perspective that reminds us that this show is truly about the characters and not the restaurant itself, and to that the bear ends with a bottle episode season finale that is so emotionally driven by the three main characters finally having a heart to heart with each other about their regret and love for each other.
