Season 1 Reviews
TIME Magazine
Megan McCluskey
The series delivers a vivid depiction of the fast-paced chaos of working in a kitchen and the harsh realities of restaurant culture, with breakout performances by White and Ayo Edebiri as sous chef Sydney Adamu.
The New Yorker
Helen Rosner
A gritty tale of cooking and grief...
Chicago Reader
John Wilmes
The Bear might not "get" Chicago, but audiences enjoy this rendering of it anyway.
The Atlantic
Sophie Gilbert
The Bear is horrifically stressful; it's also thrilling, ambitious, funny, devastating... As anxious as The Bear might make you feel, it's a gorgeous show, riddled with moments of short, sharp beauty.
Rolling Stone
Alan Sepinwall
I do not regret excusing myself from the establishment after two and a half episodes. But it was so rewarding to come back and find that The Bear had a lot more on its menu than tension and sweat.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
What makes "The Bear" such a pleasure is not only its affection for each of its quirky characters, but the frenetic and energetic scenes in the kitchen and at the restaurant. Come for the food flustering, stay for the characters and heart and soul.
The Ringer
Alison Herman
The Bear is not bad, and, frequently, it's very good. The performances are uniformly excellent...
New York Post
Michael Starr
A steady course of drama, dark comedy, disappointment and redemption.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
"Bear" is nerve-wracking and a delight.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
A darkly funny, frenetic and intense gem...
New York Magazine/Vulture
Marah Eakin
If "System" is any indication of where The Bear is going, it's going to be a fast, gritty, and thrilling ride, and I can't wait to see what happens.
Variety
Caroline Framke
From the performances to the directing, to the steady pacing of the episodes, there's a thoughtfulness to The Bear that keeps it from sinking into the pit of self-pity that keeps tempting everyone who walks through the kitchen door.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
There are tonal flaws here and there, particularly when the script pushes us too hard to view Carmy's mission as heroic... [But] all in all, The Bear is [chef's kiss].
RogerEbert.com
Shelli Nicole
The story, soundtrack, casting, and locations all come together to create what could be a new Chicago classic TV show.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Jen Chaney
These eight episodes may leave you breathless and a little dizzy. But when it's over, prepare to say, "Thank you, chef."
Chicago Tribune
Nina Metz
At a time when it can feel like so much is rigged and all is lost, it can feel profound to see TV and film remind us there's a different story that's also true. We're all we've got.
AV Club
Tim Lowery
Once you're acclimated, The Bear becomes something of a marvel, a show with its own rhythm and with characters you generally want to be around, even as they're losing it.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
You will have to go far to find another show so invested in and adept at portraying ordinary human speech and behavior, and even then you might not find one.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
Brilliantly photographed by Andrew Wehde, The Bear was created by Christopher Storer and has the winning menu item of people doing things well.
NPR
Glen Weldon
It's a show that knows exactly what it's doing, and does it exceedingly well. Watch it, and thank me. Not necessarily in that order.
