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.

Critics Consensus

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.

Despite its flaws in narrative focus — or lack thereof — “The Bear” remains an emotional show filled with top performances.

It's the best food-oriented TV series since Julia Child's "The French Chef." And Christopher Storer and his other writers and directors present montages of food preparation that are beautiful, exotic and mesmerizing all at once.

The Bear is still extraordinarily artful... But the show also appears less interested in telling a story than in offering an immersive trip for viewers into the recesses and faulty wiring of Carmy’s brain.

Like all meaningful work, craft transforms the repetitive routines of daily life from drudgery into devotion. That’s just one aspect of its magic, which The Bear deftly reveals.

The Bear season 3 hits you in the gut like a fever dream cleverly constructed from a montage of trauma.

Loved this season. What an emotional rollercoaster and if you love how these incredible chefs train and come out with their inspiration you will love it. Maybe some of the filming aspect is a bit weird, but enjoy it.

Something about S3 felt off. More filler, more meandering without any real purpose... I haven't even finished it yet.

If you rewatch the show in its entirety this season fits perfectly in the series. I love this show and grateful for the opportunity to see it.

Claire would have work as a one-season character

Season one and two are great. Season three and four are painful and boring as heck. Story no longer makes sense. Main characters have become so flippin annoying.
