Now, this is how you portray anxiety and stress. 'The Bear' is an intense experience that portrays the reality of a popular restaurant. The editing, the acting, and the story are top-notch.

Absolutely stellar. As far as drama's go, this one hit the nail on the head. Every aspect of it was to my liking. Even the cooking was on point, which is probably due to Matty Matheson's involvement in the series. Highly recommended.

Eu nunca imaginei ficar tão empolgado e ao mesmo tempo tão estressado com uma série sobre um pequeno restaurante de sanduíches.

This show hit me in the best way possible. I was shocked, stunned, and overjoyed at how brilliant, emotional, and smart it was. It was a miracle of a show with tremendous acting, a powerful story arc, and killer music. I cannot wait for season 2.

This show perfectly achieved what it was written to do. Its a wild ride and i was on edge the whole time, that is not a bad thing i loved every single minute of it.
This show is a breath of fresh air, ive been a career chef for many years and if i hadn't gone out of the industry it would have definitely been hard to watch. It is so real, recognisable and brings me right back. Its obvious a set of very passionate people were involved in creating this. The second to last episode is a cinematographic masterpiece recorded in one shot without any edits. If your kid, friend or family member ever wants to consider a culinary career, sit them down and make them watch this first.… Expand

The most realistic portrayal of life in a kitchen I’ve seen outside of, you know, a kitchen. It shows the stress, the passion, and the crazy you see every day in food service.

While the pace in the kitchen and the series is frantic, the atmosphere is 100% negative. Almost every minute of the first ep is crammed with anger and shouting. The subsequent ones delve a bit into his character's issues, but it's still a downer. The only bright spot comes from the sweet, yet frustrated character created by Aye Edebiri, as the new trainee. Things may get better in future shows, but the destructive energy is so toxic that it left a bad taste in my mouth. (Review based on 3 of 8 one-hour eps).… Expand

One of the best new shows of the year. It feels real, it feels honest, and the cast is outstanding.

Watched two and a half episodes and just didn't care about the characters. And for a Drama Comedy, it wasn't really funny. I feel like this show has potential, but I don't get why it's such a hit.
