A young chef from the fine dining world comes home to Chicago to run his family sandwich shop after a heartbreaking death in his family. A world away from what he's used to, Carmy must balance the soul-crushing realities of small business ownership, his strong-willed and recalcitrant kitchen staff and his strained familial relationships, all while grappling with the impact of his brother's suicide. As Carmy fights to transform both the shop and himself, he works alongside a rough-around-the-edges kitchen crew that ultimately reveals itself as his chosen family.

Critics Consensus

Like an expertly confected sandwich, The Bear assembles a perfect melange of ingredients and stacks them for optimal satisfaction -- and thankfully keeps the crust-iness for extra flavor.

This show really entertained me! I love the relationship with Carmen and Sydney. And after a while I started to like cousin, “Richie.” I do not like the main characters relationship with his love interest. They did a great job showing the everyday struggles for chefs and running a business.

I honest to god do not get the hype behind this show. It is cinematically shot like garbage, plot is a nothing burger, and characters so painfully boring I genuinely do not understand how it has the ratings it does. The first season I feel was one of the most contrived pieces of media I’ve ever seen. Restaurant bad, then good, then meh cuz someone quit. That’s the whole season. Awful character development if you can call it that, where the last episode of the season had what felt like 10 minutes of an exposition dump. There was one moment in the 4 hours of runtime that got a genuine laugh from me. I do not give a damn about how accurate the show is to people who worked in the industry. It’s boring. It’s shot boring. The characters are boring. Storyline could be summarized in a sentence. Actually disgusted people can rate it so highly when there are much better pieces of media out there
