The first reviews for the final season of FX’s hit drama The Bear are in, with fans sharing their reactions as well. Season 5 of the show began streaming on Hulu earlier today.

What are people saying about The Bear Season 5 reviews?

The Bear fans are celebrating as Season 5 earns strong reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. While Season 3 and Season 4 were still certified fresh, many fans agreed they were a step down. With Season 5 being the final season, the popular FX show is going out on a high note. At the time of writing, The Bear Season 5 has a very impressive score of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, with 33 reviews. This makes Season 5 the third-best reviewed season of the show.

One fan summarized the reactions from the show’s viewers in a single post, writing, “Final season debuting with a perfect score is the energy we needed. Let’s go!” Another fan heaped praise on the show, writing that they were “not surprised at all the writing and acting on this show is just on another level compared to everything else out right now”.

The final season of The Bear has received praise from many critics. Alex Maidy from JoBlo’s Movie Network wrote, “There are few runs of episodes I can think of that deliver as well as this last season which will absolutely rank as one of the all-time best.” Elsewhere, Chase Hutchinson from Seattle Times said that season 5 is “one of the most confined, chaotic and oddly compelling yet…”

As glimpsed from its thrilling trailer, The Bear Season 5 will see the cast dealing with new challenges like “the threat of a sale and a torrential storm”. While the series will end with Season 5, Hulu has a perfect way to continue telling new stories in this world.

The Bear is streaming now on Hulu.
