Roush Review: A Menu of Mea Culpas in ‘The Bear’s Fourth Season
- The fourth season of The Bear premiered Wednesday on FX on Hulu, continuing the story of chef Carmy and his struggling Chicago restaurant.
- The fourth season emerged from surplus material originally written for the third season, which faced criticism for its inconsistent reception and an overemphasis on art-house elements at the expense of narrative cohesion.
- Carmy faces a countdown clock set by investor Uncle Jimmy, who demands the restaurant fixes its financial troubles in 60 days or closes.
- Carmy confessed to Sydney that he no longer loves being a chef and does not know who he is outside the kitchen, while the staff confronts uncertainty about the restaurant's future.
- With the business's fate unresolved and no confirmation of a fifth season, the finale implies The Bear might end but leaves open a tentative new beginning.
