Celluloid editorial verdict
What is The Bear about?
A young fine-dining chef returns to Chicago to run his late brother's chaotic sandwich shop, wrestling with grief, debt and a volatile kitchen brigade as he tries to turn a failing joint into something worthy of his talent — and to keep a found family from tearing itself apart.

Critic Reviews
The Bear Review: The Kitchen as Pressure Chamber, the Edit as Panic Attack
★★★★½
The Bear turns a failing Chicago sandwich shop into a study of grief conducted at the speed of a dinner rush, its clattering montage and locked-off close-ups making anxiety itself the show's true subject.
A ferociously well-made drama that channels grief through craft — occasionally self-indulgent in later seasons, but at its best there is nothing sharper on television.
