The Bear season 4 currently holds the lowest score of all seasons, a significant drop from the near-perfect ratings of the first two seasons and even below season 3. Here's how it stands on Rotten Tomatoes:

• The Bear season 1 – 100% critic score, 92% audience score
• The Bear season 2 – 99% critic score, 92% audience score
• The Bear season 3 – 89% critic score, 51% audience score
• The Bear season 4 – 79% critic score, 84% audience score

You can notice a positive point here: the early audience scores are higher than previous seasons. However, these numbers come from just a handful of viewers—likely superfans who managed to watch the entire season within the first 14 hours after release, assuming they’ve even finished watching it yet. That said, it’s reasonable to expect that the audience score will remain above season 3’s, and we probably won’t see the same level of split between critics and viewers this time around.

As for the series itself, it's concerning when each new season appears to be losing some of its earlier quality. This trend supports the idea that wrapping up the show soon might be the best decision, perhaps with just one more season. Season 5 hasn’t officially been confirmed yet, though I doubt there would be hesitation if the show wanted to continue. Still, I’d be surprised to see it go beyond five seasons.

Despite declining reviews, The Bear remains a strong contender at the Emmys in the contentious comedy category, even though it clearly feels more like a drama, aside from some humorous Fak-related moments. Audience reactions to season 3 were notably negative, which many believe was impacted by recent strikes that led to a rushed production schedule in order to maintain its annual release timeline.

Have I seen season 4 in full? Not yet, so I’m not writing a critic review for Rotten Tomatoes at the moment. But I have watched the first four episodes, and while things still feel chaotic, I find it oddly comforting—like a show I could watch over and over again. Plus, I personally wasn’t as critical of season 3 as others were. We’ll see what I think once I’ve made it through the whole thing.
