I didn’t plan to spend the weekend with “The Bear”, but here we are.
After a shaky and somewhat meandering Season 3, I was honestly on the fence about diving into Season 4. I kept asking myself if it was even worth it.
But curiosity won out. I hit play on Friday… and didn’t stop until it was over.
And I’m glad I didn’t.
Season 4 pulled me back in. It was still emotionally intense — the kind of anxiety-inducing storytelling that The Bear has become known for — but it felt more grounded, more purposeful. The season had a real arc. It started strong, ended stronger, and managed to recapture some of the spark that made the earlier seasons so compelling.
Here’s hoping we don’t have to wait too long for Season 5.
