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.

The Bear: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (1)

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.

El Pais (Spain)

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]

Tara Ariano

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.

C W The only character who evolved is Richie, and he carried this whole season. Without him, it’s just boring. Nothing happened. Nobody got anywhere. Nobody made any decisions. It was just episode after episode of random arguments, plating food, and a lot of nonsensical chatter. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Edgar O Pretentious drawn out and boring. Squandered the incredible work put into the first two seasons Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review dave d The bloom is off the rose and what was building to a great show turned into a dead man wearing cement shoes. There's no there there. Boring long drawn out episodes that are full of fire and fury signifying nothing. A total waste of time. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review The R This season is not so brilliant like 1 and 2... But the cinematic quality, the acting, screenplay, photography and all still very very good. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Knee C 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. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Germaine R 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. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
