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.

David Bianculli

NPR

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 Atlantic

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.

In its third season, the series dilates the plot, letting mood and character simmer.

What Christopher Storer and his sister Courtney continue to do with The Bear —whose third season has just landed and is consumed at breakneck speed because it only gets better: the rise is meteoric and unstoppable— is history. [Full review in Spanish]

Cracked

While the tragedy that catalyzes the plot of The Bear has been text since the first season, that tragedy has steadily crept out of the deep background and now lives in the middle of practically every frame, crowding the comedy out in the process.

This season is not so brilliant like 1 and 2... But the cinematic quality, the acting, screenplay, photography and all still very very good.

This series is a standout for its exceptional production values. The music, character dynamics, and visual appeal are top-notch. Each episode is a well-crafted narrative, exploring complex relationships with nuanced acting and realistic portrayals of human interaction. It's a truly captivating watch.

Series Lost the magic that made the plot and characters interesting. Dull and pretentious. Character studies were a good idea, but pacing was painfully slow.

The Bear's third season has its moments, but can't hold the weight of its incredible predecessors with only emotional padding, and abstract shots, leading to a dish that sometimes feels like chewing on shoe leather.

What was once a ground breaking tv show has entirely failed to be what it once was. Episodes were unwatchable and boring. The bear leans to heavily on manufactured chaos that feels completely forced. There is one good episode this season and it’s “Napkins” and even that episode fails to progress the plot. The bear has always been a little pretentious. And that’s what made it special. It was about the art of making food, and the bear easily made it seem like any food even a Big Mac could be made special. But holy mother of god the pretentious level is through the roof this season. It is now entirely unrealistic and is honestly heresy to the culinary world. Bourdain would be disappointed at the depiction of the art of fine dining depicted in this season. What a shame. No matter what comes next for the bear, this season will forever stain its reputation preventing it from becoming one of the greats.
