The main character of the series is Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto, played by Jeremy Allen White, who is having a hard time dealing with the suicide of his brother Mikey. He chooses to return to Chicago and dedicate all of his energy to turning his sibling's Italian beef sandwich shop “The Beef” into a fine dining establishment. However, Carmy’s decision is not favored by everyone; indeed, Mikey’s best friend, Richie, and many of the existing staff would rather keep Mikey’s traditional views in the restaurant. Those who believe in Carmy’s idea are just a few, including the baker and aspiring pastry chef Marcus.
An important role is played by Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), who is an accomplished chef. Once he starts working with Carmy, he soon gets in conflict with him due to his chaotic mind. Indeed, “The Bear” Season 1 mostly centers on Sydney’s exhaustion for Carmy, who persistently aspires for perfection, overlooking the obvious talents of Sydney. In addition to that, Mikey’s best friend is completely against the restaurant’s changes, and he often sees himself arguing with both Carmy and Sydney for this.
At the end of Season 1, Carmy discovers that Mikey had been hiding cash in small cans; cash that plays a significant role in achieving his and Syd’s objective. The season concludes with the announcement that “The Beef” is closing down, yet it is just a marketing technique to generate hype for the new opening.
In Season 2, everyone improves the role previously played, from Marcus moving to Copenhangen to learn more about pastry work to Richie training at another Carmy’s old haunt. Apart from that, love also takes part in the season. Indeed, Carmy opens himself up to a relationship with Claire, an old flame from his past. Even though the story between the two works out at first, it turns out the opposite by the end of the season.
To explain it further, Carmy reveals that the relationship with Claire was just a waste of time during an existential crisis, unaware that Claire was listening. Richie, who was there at that time, starts arguing with Carmy, and even harder this time. Insults take a long part, leading to verbal abuse.
Season 3 seems to have many emotional twists and dramatic arcs, so make sure to first watch the previous episodes before jumping in the new one!
