The Bear

Critics Consensus

Like an expertly confected sandwich, The Bear assembles a perfect melange of ingredients and stacks them for optimal satisfaction -- and thankfully keeps the crust-iness for extra flavor.

Audience Reviews for The Bear: Season 1

    I loved everything about this show. It's exciting, sometimes phrenetic and stress full, and has great characters. I love the behind the scenes story about a great chef who takes over the family restaurant and strives to make it great. If you love food, great characters and a lot of action, this show is for you. Also, ignore the other critics who have a stick up where the sun don't shine about this, who think they are intellectuals, but are really too full of themselves to enjoy a different, raw, entertaining show.

    Tremendous show, great acting and as a foodie and an amateur chef I really like that they are realistic about the cooking process as well. And any restaurant office that has the complete set of Modernist Cuisine sitting in the corner gets my respect. Looking forward to future seasons.

    As mentioned by many, it is about a famous young chef in the elite culinary world who inherits the family's sandwich shop in a blue-collar section of Chicago. We binged the entire season, and although we were initially worried the intensity of the first episode would be throughout – it wasn't. Whew. The show aptly covers topics such as suicide, drug addiction, existential anxiety, brokenness, and work-family stress while running a small family restaurant – so yes, it's a comedy. It is a fantastic piece of storytelling as well as poignant, heartbreaking, heartwarming, and very intense, with richly drawn human stories and character arcs. Technically it is spectacular – directing, camera-work and editing are standouts. A sleeper and potential award winner. Highly Recommended.

    A gritty, raw look into what running a restaurant is like. The plot and character development is well told.

    A Drama packed show speckled with dark comedy revolving around a loose story about people learning to work together to support a struggling business in Chicago .

    Stop yelling for no reason…. Everyone keeps yelling and cursing when there's literally nothing going on.. I think the director and the writers wanted to make it seem like a lot happens? But not much happens it's just loud and annoying. Especially this Richie character won't stop yelling at everyone and it's not funny or interesting. This show is just nothing and annoying.

    I absolutely love this season of the show, possibly the best season of all. Excited to see where the show goes in the future.
