The Bear Season 4 Reviews Are In: Is It Worth Watching?
The much-awaited fourth series of The Bear has dropped on Disney+. Jeremy Allen White reprises his role as tortured chef Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto in season four, alongside his team – Richard 'Richie' Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri), Marcus Brooks (Lionel Boyce) and Tina Marrero (Liza Colon-Zayas). Reviews of the new episodes of the US comedy-drama emerged shortly after its premiere, and the latest series has left critics divided. Many are excited to see what's in store for Carmy in the rest of the season, while others appeared less than impressed. Most critics agree that the latest run is an improvement on the third series last year. Here's what people think about the new series… After all the drama and chaos from the past three series, the fourth run starts with a flashback of Uncle Jimmy (Oliver Platt), who has installed a countdown clock after investing in the fledgling Chicago restaurant The Bear, and trying to get the business to turn its fortunes around in 1,440 hours. Season four is less about the restaurant and more about the 'family', not just the blood relatives but friends and colleagues. The fans have spoken – and they are rating season 4 of The Bear. It's had an impressive 83% popcornmeter and 74% tomatometer. The episodes are rating on IMDB too, with episodes four and eight receiving the lowest score of 8.3/10 while episodes three and six are the highest rated with scores of 9/10. Entertainment Weekly's Kristen Baldwin gave a B+. 'Though not quite at the level of the sublime second season, the new episodes put Carmen and company back on track by allowing them to confront, at long last, 'the f***ing elephant in the f***ing restaurant'.' The Guardian's Jack Seale awarded it 4/5. 'The Bear is finally becoming the show it was always destined to be,' he wrote. 'It's outgrown the 'Yes, chef!' rages and screaming matches in the pantry and morphed into something more tender, beautiful – and endlessly moving. Where once The Bear made pulses pound, now it lets the happy tears flow; the second half of the season is like one long therapy session. Indulge it – and you will have to indulge it, in a few ways – and you will find this experience just as rich.' Rolling Stone rated it highly too, saying the series 'is at its best far more often this year than it was the last time we saw it', with TV Line calling it 'an absolute triumph'. But not everyone was impressed. Vanity Fair called it 'slow', which was mirrored by Daily Telegraph, who said it is 'so aimless, pompous and, quite frankly, boring'. With mixed reviews for the fourth series, it's best for viewers to decide for themselves as to whether they should tuck into a fourth helping – or refrain from this course. So here's the trailer if you need some persuasion… All four seasons of The Bear are now streaming on Disney+ Shereen Low is a senior news and entertainment writer for Grazia UK, who has covered some of the biggest showbiz news from the past decade.

'I'm a TV Editor and these are the 5 Disney+ shows I'm bingeing'
I watch TV for a living and if you're looking for your next favourite show, these are the five which should be on your radar With so many streaming services to choose from, it's hard to decide what to watch. Do you want to enjoy a comedy, drama or action series? Fortunately, you don't need to spend time scrolling through the channels to find your next binge watch. As a TV editor I spend all day watching the latest releases and I've got five excellent recommendations on Disney+ for you to try. And, even better news, with Disney+'s new promotion, until June 30, new and returning customers can subscribe to Disney+ Standard with Ads for £1.99 per month for four months – a saving of £12 compared to the regular monthly price for four months. This makes Disney+ the cheapest major streamer compared to the lowest subscription tiers from Netflix (£5.99), Prime Video (£5.99) and Apple TV+ (£8.99). In comparison to the likes of Netflix, and Prime Video, Disney+ is more reliant on franchises when it comes to its streaming content, including Disney, Pixar, Star Wars and Marvel. The Bear Since it arrived on Disney+ in 2022, The Bear has become one of the most popular series and there's a reason for that. Following Carmy, a young chef who trained in fine dining, he takes over the family sandwich shop, which is struggling, after a devastating death. Working alongside an eclectic team of kitchen staff and his family, he fights to make the business a success and find happiness. The series is set to return for its fourth season this month and the synopsis reads: "Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto, Sydney Adamu and Richard 'Richie' Jerimovich push forward, determined not only to survive, but also to take The Bear to the next level. With new challenges around every corner, the team must adapt, adjust and overcome. This season, the pursuit of excellence isn't just about getting better – it's about deciding what's worth holding on to." The cast stars Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach with guest appearances from Olivia Colman and Will Poulter. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives One of the most addictive series on Disney+ right now. Everyone I have recommended this show too has become obsessed after just one episode. The series follows a group of Mormon mum influencers who get caught in the middle of a swinging sex scandal. As they navigate relationships, struggling friendships, betrayal, pregnancy and making their MomTok business a success, you'll be gripped by the drama. And, good news is that once you've raced through series one and two, you can tune into the Reunion on July 1. High Potential This series quietly dropped on Disney+ earlier this year, but it wasn't long before it gained a Rotten Tomatoes score of 96%. Following Morgan, a single mum of three, she has high intellectual potential, meaning she has an exceptional mind. She goes from being a cleaner to helping the LA police solve murders while trying to be the best mum she can. With Kaitlin Oslon leading the cast and 13 episodes to get through, this series should be top of your must watch list. Welcome to Wrexham Currently on its fourth season, Welcome to Wrexham follows Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney after they bought Wrexham football club. They learn about running a club and making a positive impact on the town as they try to take the team to the Premier League. This heartwarming series isn't just about football - it also focusses on the local community. If you haven't tuned into the series yet, this is your sign to start watching. Rivals With an all-star cast and plenty of drama, Rivals is a must-watch. Based on Jilly Cooper's 1988 novel, it follows the rivalry between MP Rupert Campbell-Black, Tony Baddingham. Tony runs a TV station located in Rutshire along with Declan O'Hara, who is married to actress Maud, and American producer Cameron Cook. Featuring affairs, fights and debauchery. Filming for the second series is already underway with fans excited to see what the future holds for the residents of Rutshire. Writing on Trustpilot, one subscriber said: "Very good selection, friendly support and easy to cancel if you need to. Very easy to navigate their site and the openness and transparency they show should be a model for others." A more mixed review said: "The content library is extensive and impressive. However, the streaming quality is inconsistent." But this five-star review said: "Disney+ has consistently delivered high-quality streaming content, from classic Disney movies to new releases, along with a wealth of popular TV shows and original content.
