The Bearseason 4 broke an unfortunate record with its Rotten Tomatoes score. Since its premiere in 2022, FX and Hulu’sThe Bearhas been one of the most critically acclaimed shows on television, launching movie star careers for its leads, attracting famous actors for thrilling cameo appearances, and winning numerous Emmys and Golden Globes.The Bearseason 4 is now streaming in its entirety on Hulu, and reviews are starting to come in for the new batch of ten episodes.
The Bearseason 4currently has a 76% score on Rotten Tomatoes, which is by far the lowest in the series. Seasons 1 and 2 remain the highest-rated in the series, with respective 100% and 99% scores, while season 3 took a notable drop to 89%. This is the most drastic change so far, with some critics describing the season as “over-indulgent,” “pompous,” and a continuation of season 3’s stagnation. However, others expressed that season 4 is an improvement over the less-well-received third run.
What The Bear’s Season 4 Response Means
Seasons 1 & 2 Are Still The Show’s Peak
While critics seem to be divided on whetherThe Bearseason 4 is an improvement or a continuation of season 3’s lulls,one thing seems to be unanimous among reviewers: the show is still not delivering at its best. Seasons 1 and 2 offered a masterclass blend of comedy, character-driven drama, and compelling overarching narrative, with classic episodes like “Fishes” and “Forks” seen as some of the strongest work in the series overall. The FX show is still one of the best series available, but continued mixed reactions may stain its chances of being remembered among the all-time greats.
Our Take On The Bear Season 4’s Reviews
Let’s Not Jump The Gun On The Bear Season 4 Just Yet
Listen, there are times when critics are right and scores are worth considering, but there are others when it’s just worth going in and forming your own opinion.The Bearseason 3 was divisive among viewers, prompting a rotten 51% Audience Score, yet the season still had an 89% from critics. Now that the narrative has shifted and there’s more cultural space to critique the show, the critical score has dropped to 76%. Meanwhile,fans seem to be loving it, with an 84% Audience Score.
When a broad, cultural narrative begins to turn against a project, critics and audiences are more inclined to follow it. Season 3’s reviews were mixed, so there’s more leeway to rag on season 4. In this case,I genuinely believe that the audience is correct and that season 4 is on an upward trend again. I’ll always encourage viewers to giveThe Bearan honest chance, and to appreciate the fact that it’s one of the few titles in film and television that’s not part of a franchise or adapted from source material. This is original television. Cherish it.
