‘The Bear' review: Stellar performances carry Season 4, but story has missing ingredients
This review contains light spoilers regarding the fourth season of 'The Bear.' At one point in the wheel-spinning yet reliably well-acted fourth season of ' The Bear,' brilliant/tortured chef Carmy Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) stops changing his restaurant's menu every night. For the sake of consistency and his customer base, he sticks with proven hits. Meanwhile, creator and executive producer Christopher Storer employs his show's most crowd-pleasing element only sparingly, as if it is the last ounce of truffle on a busy Saturday night. This show's sweet spot has always been its depiction of a busy restaurant kitchen, first at fictional Chicago sandwich spot The Beef, then its fine-dining successor The Bear. Although kitchen scenes can be stressful to watch, moments when the crew works harmoniously and produces perfect dishes often thrill in their precision. Yet the bulk of the new 10-episode season — now streaming on Hulu — is maddeningly imprecise. Season 4 starts with The Bear's team still absorbing a mixed review from the Chicago Tribune. The review's gist is that the restaurant is capable of excellence but messy in execution. (Any resemblance to the critical reception to this show's third season is surely coincidental.) Since they consider the Tribune review too ambivalent to drive new business, Carmy and crew turn their focus back to earning a Michelin star. This premise is easy to get behind, first because it presents a metropolitan newspaper as still make-or-break influential in 2025, and second, in stating a goal that seems to require nail-biter kitchen scenes to achieve. But apart from an extended, beautifully choreographed sequence in Episode 3, most of this season takes place outside business hours — and involves dry, limp word salads rather than delicious food. Meandering and inarticulate, the season's too-frequent extended conversations usually occur between the famously unforthcoming Carmy and one other character. Carmy does use his words, but most are meaningless and must be interpreted by companions who too often join him in obtuseness. Scenes with Claire (Molly Gordon), the longtime love Carmy too often pushes away, can be agonizing. They often are shot in close-up, further emphasizing the degree to which these two talk in circles. Granted, the Carmy-Claire storyline has always seemed forced, but Claire, who is a doctor, once spoke in sentences. These scenes and many others feel too obviously improvised — you can see what appears to be actors 'yes, and'-ing each other in real time. When we tune in to 'The Bear' to see the sausage being made, this is not what we mean. Scripted or otherwise, White (soon to be seen on the big screen as Bruce Springsteen) and fellow Emmy winners Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach — who play chef de cuisine Syd and front-of-house manager Richie, respectively — once again deliver stellar performances. Although White can seem overly morose, he lends emotional depth to scenes that tap Carmy's inherent empathy. Edebiri brings more confidence to Syd this season while remaining unaffected and relatable, making a case for being named overall 'Bear' MVP. Having directed last season's excellent 'Napkins' episode, Edebiri co-wrote this season's fourth — and most cohesive — episode, which explores Syd's family ties beyond her widowed, loyal dad (an always solid Robert Townsend). Although still prone to dramatic self-flagellation, Richie finally seems like a full-fledged adult. Moss-Bachrach continues to keep Richie's pain and self-doubt right at the surface but adds a layer of wisdom. Although Syd, Richie and even Carmy progress this season, the story does not, as conflicts that should have been resolved in Episode 1 stretch unnecessarily into the finale. Maybe it's time to acknowledge 'The Bear' not for what it promised to be — a TV classic — but for what it is: a small, pandemic-era miracle not built for longevity. Although this realization disappoints, the transitory realities of the show's restaurant setting help it go down easier.

Dave Nemetz Reviews The Bear: Hulu's Culinary Dramedy Finds a Recipe That Works in a Resurgent Season 4
Throughout the new season of The Bear, Carmy and his staff are preoccupied with getting a bad review — and that feels kind of meta, doesn't it? After a pair of acclaimed seasons, Hulu's pressure cooker of a dramedy returned last summer for a Season 3 that felt like a letdown, with fans and critics (like me) wondering if The Bear had lost that unique flavor that drew us in. Well, like any good restaurant reviewer, I've returned to see if my evaluation holds up, and I'm happy to say that the flavor is back in full force in Season 4 (now streaming; I've seen all 10 episodes). Season 4 is an absolute triumph, right up there with Season 2 in terms of quality, shaking off the doldrums by tapping into a powerful emotional resonance and rediscovering what made this show so great in the first place. More from TVLine Sarah Michelle Gellar Wants to Bring Back Every Dead Buffy Character in Reboot - Who Do You Want to Return? Sterling K. Brown's Washington Black: Watch First Trailer for Hulu Adventure Event Series Dave Nemetz Reviews Countdown: Amazon's High-Octane Action Thriller Is Peak Dad TV, for Better or Worse Season 4 picks up right where we left off, with Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) and his restaurant getting a crucial review in the local paper — and it's decidedly mixed, with the reviewer dinging them for inconsistent food and service. Uncle Jimmy (Oliver Platt) is turning the screws on Carmy as well, putting a big clock in the kitchen that counts down the hours until their funding runs out. (The ticking clock gives Season 4 a sense of urgency that was sorely lacking last season.) Life gets in the way, too, of course, with Carmy, Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) and Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) all dealing with an avalanche of relationship crises that take their attention off the food… for a while, anyway. The Bear has always been really astute in observing the fragile balance between work life and home life, and that balance is front and center in Season 4. There's a spark here that we didn't see in Season 3: less mournful brooding and more kinetic action. From Carmy's romance with Claire to Sydney's role in the restaurant hierarchy, Season 4 resolves things that should have been resolved last season, which leads me to ask: What was the purpose of Season 3, exactly? That season was spinning its wheels, narratively speaking, but in Season 4, those wheels hit the ground and take off. Yes, there are contemplative moments here, too, which is good, because The Bear excels at those. But thankfully, the storytelling arrow points forward this time, giving the characters fresh depth and complexity. Season 4 offers a veritable buffet of highlights, including an emotionally charged confrontation between Carmy and Claire, a side quest for Sydney that gives Edebiri some of her best material yet and a sprawling ensemble episode in the mold of Season 2's 'Fishes' that clocks in at over an hour but flies by. (It has another top-secret star cameo to boot). This season really leans into the acting, too, with extended scenes of dialogue that feel raw and improvised and real, culminating in a powerhouse finale that delivers the kind of exhilarating catharsis that The Bear does so well. Is it a comedy, though? Based on Season 4, not really — but that's OK. There are definitely funny elements in each episode, with Moss-Bachrach finding new and novel ways for Richie to curse in every scene. (The infamous Fak brothers are still around, but their goofy antics have been tastefully reined in.) It may not be a 'comedy' in any sense outside the Emmys, but The Bear is one of TV's best shows, in any genre, and this season reaffirms that. If I had a Michelin star to hand out, I'd give it one. THE TVLINE BOTTOM LINE: If s previous season was a letdown, Season 4 is a triumphant return to form, with raw emotion and beautiful performances. Season 4 of is now streaming on Hulu; if you've already started watching, grade the season in our poll, and give us your tasting notes in a comment below.

'The Bear' is back, baby: Season 4 review
There is a moment in Season 4 of FX's "The Bear," which has taken over every summer on TV since it premiered in 2022, when you acutely remember why you got so sucked into this show in the first place. Especially after last year's third season made us forget. Much has been written and said about the acclaimed series – which launched its cast into superstardom and took home a treasure chest full of Emmy awards – and its ability to engross and bewitch its viewers. There's the frenetic energy of its setting in a restaurant kitchen. There's the aptitude of its talented actors, who spit profanities as sharp as their chef's knives as they chop and stir and and season and argue. There's the sense of place in a perpetually overcast Chicago and the triumphs and tragedies that populate every episode. There are the Oscar-winning guest stars and family gatherings that make the Roman Colosseum look tame. But the heart and soul of "The Bear" and its return-to-form fourth season (now streaming on Hulu, ★★★½ out of four) – the meat and potatoes, if you will – are the people. The characters keep you coming back for more. Chef Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) with his raw anxiety and trauma; "cousin" Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) with his anger that can be tamped down by joy; and chef Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), a voice of sense, reason and professionalism but also vulnerability and imposter syndrome. And "The Bear" Season 4 gets them right, to its end. Without them, the frenzy that is this show's signature mode is just noise, not story. And that's the thread that got lost in last year's lackluster third season, where vibes and an overly artsy structure got in the way of just seeing this trio in a room together, preferably a kitchen. In Season 4, "The Bear" is serving what we might call humble pie: a reset from the sins of Season 3. It's, if not peaceful − because there is no peace in the pandemonium that is nightly service at a restaurant − then it has a rhythm to the mad music in 10 new episodes. Creator Christopher Storer and the cast deliver more of what we love about "The Bear," sometimes sweetly and quietly and sometimes with deafening fury. But this year, the chaos is focused and controlled. Every second counts. The new episodes pick up right after the Season 3 finale, in which Carmy and Sydney's restaurant received a rough review from the Chicago Tribune. Coupled with Carmy's mismanagement of its budget and the general ill use of the staff and resources, The Bear is just weeks away from going under. That point is underlined by a large countdown clock that investor/patron Uncle Jimmy (Oliver Platt) has placed in the kitchen. Everyone has to get better, calmer and faster. Carmy has to make sacrifices. And Sydney has to decide if she's staying or jumping ship to a job with another buzzy chef. Whereas in Season 3 episodes would often slip and slide around a plot and a point and blur into each other lazily, the new installments are sharp and addictive, begging you to just let the next episode play on. There is the trademark radical realism and awkwardness to the dialogue, particularly in an episode set during a wedding that sees many returns from fan-favorite guest stars, and raw emotion on every sleeve. Parenting remains the show's prevailing theme, whether it's of an older generation, a new one or even caretaking a business. Everybody could use a little therapy, particularly Carmy. But it's tantalizing to watch them work out their issues instead in front of us. If there's one major flaw in the new season (which at times feels like it might be the final one, too), it's that the laser focus on Carmy means some members of the great ensemble are left behind. The wild-haired protagonist finally confronts the trauma of losing his brother Mikey to suicide (Jon Bernthal, back for a cameo early on), and the emotional abuse and alcoholism of his mother (Jamie Lee Curtis, also back). It is cathartic and electrifying, but his lengthy screen time means there's less for the show's other standouts, like Marcus (Lionel Boyce) and Tina (Liza Colón-Zayas). But "The Bear" happily leaves time for some. You'll find yourself heavily invested in half a dozen subplots that seem to perfectly illustrate the old aphorism that there are no small roles, only small actors. There is so much more heart to the new season, and if you were disillusioned last year, you might be won back just as easily as I was. As the Season 4 plot unfolds, the path forward for the series becomes uncertain. The writers could easily swing open a door to a fifth season, or perhaps close up "The Bear" for good, like so many restaurants and TV shows before it. It's a mark of the craftsmanship that you'll find yourself satisfied with either answer. This could be the end, or it could just be a beginning. Either way, I'm so glad to have dined here.
