Rolling Stone

The Bear made me feel, and deeply. In an era of just-good-enough scripted television, here was a show that instantly had a sense of place, had clear conflicts and character arcs.

The Guardian

The Bear is half-hour gobbets of kinetic, pressurised, propulsive brilliance with occasional moments of stillness that make you see how much has been done in order to serve up something so delicious.

Vulture

Everyone on The Bear is trying to get on their game and still getting blindsided by the unexpected.

Roger Ebert

"The Bear" continues providing well-crafted laughs, as with a swift running joke about the problematic aspects of the phrase 'Jewish Lighting.'

'The Bear' presents just the right balance of acid and heat, salt and sweetness, reflecting the perfect mix of chaos and calm.

"EVERY SECOND COUNTS" reads a sign in Luca's kitchen. It is an order, a motto, a warning, a critique. For Carmy and the show itself, the lesson is the same: letting the outside world in can transform something beautiful into something completely breathtaking.

NPR

Smart, funny, raw, tense, warm but not sentimental and, most of all, real.
