Goodbye

This season is major step up from season 3 , but still falls short compared the highs that were season 1 and 2 . With that being said , this season had a lot more heart and each episode had some stand out moment .

Every performance was Emmy-worthy . Ayo Edebiri delivers her best performance yet capturing the vulnerability of the character perfectly , making the season feel at times like season 1 .

But the show in my opinion spent too much time outside the kitchen for this season . I wished for more one take episodes or montages in the restaurant but this season mostly focuses on the characters outside the kitchen .

With all that being said i think this season lays the groundwork for what I'm sure will be an emotional final season . That is if FX decide to renew the show one final time.

For a show to make you feel like you're apart of the characters lives the way The Bear does is incredible. I understand that this season may not be for everyone, but I thought it was brilliant. Every episode was raw, emotional, and real in a way that didn't feel pretentious or forced.

The acting performances this season were phenomenal. Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri were spectacular, especially in this season finale. I honestly wasn't the biggest fan of Sydney's character at the start, but the way she was written the season was outstanding.

It sounds cheesy, but it was a pleasure to watch these characters grow over these four seasons, and Richie had my favorite character development of any show in a long time.

I don't know if people will understand this reference, but my favorite tv episode of all time is Season 4 Episode 7 of Mr. Robot (407 Proxy Authentication Required) and this episode reminded me a little of that.

This episode made me very angry because there were so many things I wanted to see explored and we got a 30 minute conversation. Wow I'm actually impressed by how good that was. Everyone finally being honest was really nice to see. I feel with modern writing everyone is so repressed you never get to see a characters motives and drives like this. It was refreshing to see everyone be so raw here. I'm feeling just as nervous as the characters are in this situation about what is going to happen to the restaurant but damn it really was therapeutic to just let everyone say their peace and see where their feelings intersected on the same issues. That's a heck of a cliffhanger but there is simply no way to resolve everything that is going on in one episode like that.

I like how Richie and Jessica's conversation gets referenced in this talk and how something he was just expressing gets talked about. I've honestly never seen TV like this who takes a microscope to a few characters and just gives them that much time to just exist and work out their story in front of the audience. Very cool to see.

This entire season seemed to focus too much on personal, internal issues. And hey, who doesn't love a little bit of character depth and development? But holy crap!! Every friggin episode this season. It reminded me of watching "The Handmaid's Tale" when I was sitting there in season 3 like, "Alright! I get it! They're terrible people! When is this story going to go anywhere?!"

This entire season was a complete flat line, not an arc. The only payoff we got this season was a good review for Marcus. That's it. It did not leave me yearning for a new season. In fact, the exact opposite. The thought that the next 10 episodes can be like this? No thanks.

Holy cannoli. I was part of the gang that actually enjoyed season 3 - so I was excited for the fourth one. Seriously, this show continues to prove it's in a league of its own, blending the wild, high-octane energy of a buzzing kitchen with gut-punching emotional stories that hit you right in the feels. From the very first second to the finale, this season is a total feast for your eyes and your soul.

But let's be real, the finale episode? It might not be some huge, explosive blockbuster, but the emotional impact? Yeah, that's massive. The writing is sharp. This finale feels like the ultimate setup for what's next. Season 5 is gonna be a total emotional rollercoaster, and this is truly the beginning of the end.

And can we talk about the acting in that finale? Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri, and Abby Elliott just absolutely crushed it. Their performances are so raw, so real. Every single one of them brought their absolute A-game, making that final episode unforgettable for me.

This season is a wild, heartfelt ride about family, passion, and busting your butt to be the best. Season 4 nails every single beat, ending on an emotional note and leaves you buzzing for more.
