Although this review is as much as possible without a spoiler, and the new season is already being followed, consider this as a spoiler warning for the "bear" season 4.

"The Bear" was a great television seemingly from the jump. A series to stimulate Christopher Star's stress for the fighting of the Chicago sandwich shop turned into a fine dining room, hung me (and many more) almost immediately with its intensive filmmaking, it's an electric editing and a great team. Season 1 was good, season 2 was even better. But I guess sooner or later, every great show stumbles. After raising the first two season, the "bear" season 3 felt like attractive, lost, defocused. Maybe it was intentional - a way to reflect the way the characters felt lost. Deliberate or not, failed - something was missing.

I eventually gave season 3 a A positive reviewBut that was the first time I found myself fighting the show. While I appreciated some of the most daring formal choices (many people seemed upset by the premiere of Season 3, which was going on as a long editing scored on a nine -inch nail trackBut I actually thought it was pretty brilliant), the "bear" season 3 felt like a show that might let her excitement and recognition go on their head. It seemed that the repository and his team felt an urge to go a bigger and stranger in an attempt to keep things fresh, but lost to the type of greater image in the process. Again, this could be deliberate, as losing the type of greater image is a problem that seems to bother the main character Carmen "Carmy" stock market, played with the perfect amount of engagement by Ereeremi Allen White.

However, the "bear" season never found its foundation, and the series was constantly making strange choices that were not added. While there were strong episodes ("Napkins", the Ayo Edebiri Helmedvedza was a real stance), there were confusing decisions that left bad taste in the mouth. For one thing, most of the season finale was dedicated to focusing on horde or Guest chefs of starvins who play alone Instead of the main characters of the show we care about. And then, here's the fact that Season 3 ended up with unnecessary Clifancher.

Fortunately, the "bear" is again cooking with Season 4. At times, this new season almost feels like an apology for Season 3 - a fact underlined by many scenes of the characters that tell each other that they are sorry for the false things they have done in the past. Season 4 is a reminder of why so many people have fallen on this show in the first place: it's funny, it's dramatic, it's cruel, and it's very much seen. It's also surprisingly sweet - the characters that inhabit this series really care about each other. They are not just associates, they are family. And we are invested in seeing how to work things as they fight all the chaos that throws life towards them.

Season 3 set up a review of the Chicago Tribune that can make or break the bear. Carmi received a look at that review in the last seconds of the season, and he did not look particularly pleased. Season 4 confirms that the review was not overly positive - "they didn't like vibrations," Sydney's Carmsi said, Sydney replies: "They didn't like it. Chaos"Sydney opposes that Carmi seems to be addicted to the idea of ​​chaos - why would he insist otherwise constantly change the bear menu, throwing the whole loop team at night? Karmmie insists he doesn't want chaos - but what Whether He wants? He used to want to cook, but now, his whole view of the world seems to be upgraded.

A bad review in hand, the bear is now at a crossroads. The restaurant has only enough money to stay in life for a short period of time, and the clock is literally going. Can Carms and his team collect their act together to get a miracle and save the bear? Or will he get out of work like many other restaurants? But keeping the bear is not the only focus of Season 4. This new season also finds the characters that wonder where they go when Carme watches a clip of Bill Murray's time-loop movie, "Earth Day", awaiting the idea that everyone could be caught in an infinite cycle. Murray's image avoided his seemingly infinite loop learning to be a better person, and that's exactly what both Carms and his friends do. They need to grow, and they need to make changes.

Once again, the cast shoots all cylinders, and while some have more to do than others, the ensemble is really the secret ingredient that makes the "bear" such a successful meal. White remains inherent in - he has hypnotic, intense quality and as an actor, he is very good at conveying deep emotions while saying very little. The stage in the late season where she meets with the mother, played by the return of the guest star Jameimi Lee Curtis, is emotionally fatal, and White and Curtis are doing both amazing work at the moment. It must be a scene that everyone will talk about.

Ebon Moss-Bahrach remains the MVP of the show as Richie, a character who grew so much after we first met him-though I say that the character feels a little bypassed for huge pieces in the season, perhaps because Moss-Bahrach was busy filming the upcoming Marvel Film. And Sydney's Ioo EDEBERI must resist its own problems - she has an offer to jump a boat and start fresh on a new wrist, but can she really leave the bear? Comedy is Forte of Eden, but it has been given some difficult dramatic moments this season and nailed them.

Although there are great emotional blows and even greater discoveries, the Bear 4 season 4 often has access to the basics. It gives up experimentation of season 3 to tell a more stripped story-that is easy to catch. is not), but it feels like that. It is good to try new things from time to time, but you can't beat the comfortable food you know and love, and the "bear" season 4 understands that. I suspect the show can last much longer, judging by the direction in which the story takes place, but I'm glad the series has returned to its advantages.

/Movie rating: 8 out of 10

Season 4 of the "bear" is now moving to Julu.
