Goodbye

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.

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.

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.

This episode clears up alot of things that needed to be aired out. It's done so realistically and well acted by all the major players. Once I realized the episode is going to take place entirely out back of the restaurant I got settled in for an acting tour de force by everyone involved. Ayo should have the Emmy on lock this year plus Jeremy and Ebon are basically locks too. I loved this season and I found it emotionally the best season yet. Some may call melodramatic but I just think the show has built up to this and is now unlocking it's true potential and delivering the goods. I hope they do one last season just to show Sydney in full swing. This show is hers now.

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.
