The fourth season of the drama sees the staff at The Bear reeling from a bad review, and in financial difficulty. With a clock counting down until they have to close for good, head chef Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) must work through his own demons to lead his staff through this crucial time.

The show looked to regain some momentum after season three received mixed reviews, but many fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their appreciation for the new chapter.
“Perfect pick-up from a not so appealing season three” one wrote. “I remember why I loved this show once again. Hopefully they can all get past their issues and trauma”.

Another concurred: “I was really checked out after Season Three but The Bear Season Four is actually good. I’m so glad that they cut down on the anxiousness (not of the characters but of their way of story telling). A couple of episodes stood out as being Emmy worthy. Good to have the show back on track”.

The show brought in a number of guest stars for this season, with big Hollywood names taking on the roles of characters who, to this point, had only been talked about. “I can’t help but applaud #TheBear for its ability to keep its guest stars under wraps. I never have any clue” a viewer posted.

Still, some older characters loom large, with Carmy’s grief for his late brother Mikey (Jon Bernthal) still heavy on his heart. “Carmy still texting Mikey broke me” wrote a fan, referencing an ongoing plot point in the show.
