The Bear Ratings & Reviews
- burtjohansonFebruary 5, 2025The best show currently on television!
- NinepintcoggieJune 26, 2025comforting: however bad a day you're having, Carmy's having a worse one
- Scott SmithOctober 19, 2025This is a excellent drama series about a group of people working at a family restaurant in Chicago, and what they go through as they attempt to transition it from a neighborhood dive into an upscale eatery. The kitchen scenes are very realistic and stressful. It's very well acted and written. It won many awards, and deserves them all. I could never do something like this for a living, but it's fascinating to watch as an outsider.
- raytango196d agoThis Show is something else. Growing up in Chicago there is so much about this show and what happens in this show the make me reflect on. Every single Episode is hit me. Just a damn good show.
- dogcomplexDecember 2, 2025These people are crazy and I guess I'm in for it. Really gives you that feeling of being trapped in a small room with someone having a psychotic break one moment then being the most real and human the next - then more random chaos of Life crashes in again and that little memory of peace becomes treasured. Is this what we've come to as viewers now? This is what we want? We could just go back you know - watch some Frasier with a canned laugh track? Maybe modern cinema can go too far? Nonetheless, there is something uniquely human and special embedded in this show. You just have to... sigh... *sigh*.... Bear through it. Seriously they named it that on purpose for exactly this take. I'm not being cute.
- Coops_71August 15, 2025I like how this show makes each person's characteristics appear like as an ingrediant which is stirred up to make a classic dish, with each season ever-so-slowly becoming more refined.
- Emily DownerJuly 8, 2025I love that this show has such a fast pace but also really lets you sit with the characters in their feelings. It lets you breathe with them and that’s why I give it 4 stars. Ayo’s episode she wrote was perfect!
- evano39October 16, 2025Absolute Gold.
- bluriSeptember 16, 2025Excellent drama with realistic characters and situations.
- AngelSeptember 9, 2025Season 1 Score = 10 Season 2 Score = 0 Average Score: 5 It's infuriating to watch everything you love rot, over and over again. IFrom a frantic inner battle with his demons while trying to keep his dreams alive, to a trashy soap opera with morals fit for a 4-year-old, diluted with bland characters who only exist to check ESG boxes. Let's just keep destroying art. What does it matter anymore? I won't fall for it again.
- Yuvi RandhawaApril 21, 2025this show is the embodiment of chaos
- ReGoFLIXAugust 7, 2025it got better with each season !
- CubaneAugust 7, 2025I loved the first season, but dear GOD the later seasons drag things the f out. Feels like an entire season takes place over the course of 30 minutes and the remaining 4.5 hours is entirely filler.
- grimsfieldJuly 17, 2025Hugely overrated, hugely pretentious, family drama that plays bad music constantly throughout every single episode. Seriously, a song finishes and another one starts playing. WTF. Just let there be silence in the background. Play music that isn't meant for a 50 year old Christian mother. And please, for the love of god, stop sniffing your own farts!
- amortechJuly 5, 2025Great show. Much more than a cooking show. Very relatable with crazy family and broken family. Good character builds and the actors are great. Don't watch the show if you are hungry...superior cooking however I would be happy with the beef sandwich.
- JeremeyNovember 21, 2024I started to wander a little in season 2 before getting totally lost in 3. I hope they improve with their already agreed upon S4 if this is going to win me back :)
