The Bear is an American psychological comedy-drama television series created by Christopher Storer for FX on Hulu. Jeremy Allen White stars as Carmy Berzatto, an award-winning chef who returns to his hometown of Chicago to manage the chaotic kitchen at his deceased brother's sandwich shop. The supporting cast includes Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott and Matty Matheson.[1]

All episodes of the first season were released on FX on Hulu on June 23, 2022; the second season was released in its entirety on June 22, 2023. In November 2023, the series was renewed for a third season, which was released on June 26, 2024.[2] Ahead of the third-season premiere, the show was renewed for a fourth season, which filmed back-to-back with the third season.[3]

The series has received critical acclaim, particularly for its writing, directing, acting, and production values; its examination of psychological development of the characters, sense of realism, and high level of intensity have been singled out by critics, as well as its approach to themes such as suicide, dysfunctional family and relationship, and workplace mistreatment and morale, among others.[4][5][6][7]

Among its numerous accolades, the first season received ten Primetime Emmy Awards including Outstanding Comedy Series and acting wins for White, Moss-Bachrach, and Edebiri.[8] The Bear has also won four Golden Globe Awards, with acting wins for White and Edebiri and the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy in 2024.[9][10]

For the first season, the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 100% with an average rating of 8.7/10, based on 80 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Like an expertly confected sandwich, The Bear assembles a perfect melange of ingredients and stacks them for optimal satisfaction—and thankfully keeps the crust-iness for extra flavor."[44] Metacritic gave it a weighted average score of 88 out of 100 based on 24 critic reviews.[45]

The American Film Institute named it one of the ten best television programs of the year.[60] The Guardian named it number one of the best 100 TV shows of 2022 and described it as "the best workplace drama since Mad Men".[61][62] The Bear appeared in the top ten on numerous publications' "Best of 2022" lists, including first for The A.V. Club, BBC, People, and TVLine, among others.[63]

Season 2

[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, 99% of 109 critic reviews are positive for the second season, and the average rating is 9.3/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Instead of reinventing the menu, The Bear's second season wisely opts to toss its lovable characters into another frying pan of adversity, lets 'em cook, and serves up yet another supremely satisfying dish."[46] Metacritic assigned it a weighted average score of 92 out of 100 based on 42 critic reviews.[47]

"Having set an exceedingly high standard of excellence for itself, The Bear spends its third season simmering, stewing, and giving off an aroma that whets the appetite."[48] The website also reported that the season was "as audacious as ever" and it "still seems to continue delivering compelling and often intense television with performances that are so dependably brilliant that they're not even mentioned in most of the reviews. Instead, at this point in a show's life, it's easier to find faults in its sameness or changes, or in its attempts to repeat or outdo itself."[50] Metacritic assigned it a weighted average score of 80 out of 100 based on 44 critic reviews.[49]
