The Bear

If you like watching people stressing out, arguing, fast camera...all in the name of food, then have at it. I'd rather watch something entertaining that won't have me reaching for the blood pressure pills.

Get out of the kitchen. This show is so spot on about how real kitchens function. Having worked in several high end and lower end restaurants. I can tell you this is the real deal. For all those low star reviewers, you just don't get it. This is not a glitzy Hollywood romanticized fantasy. Great acting, accurate terminology and technique. Absolutely love it! Hope there will be more.

To say this is an intense series is an understatement. Comedy - not so much, but just enough.

I am glad the episodes were short because of how incredibly intense all the episodes were. But so was the growth of his crew and the arc of the story. To make them longer for lengths sake would have ruined the rhythm and let us off the hook - which is where we wanted to be.

Yep - came for Jeremy AW, but fell in love with the rest of them along the way.

SEASON TWO, as many have said, IS A MUST!!!

I am really enjoying this show. I've made it through six episodes and the character development is great. I am already rooting for so many of the characters. It's turning into a real feel-good show. The casting and acting are great. I love the writing and the setting/cinematography are as realistic as it can get. With so many choices out there I find it oddly difficult to find shows that I truly enjoy. But this is one of them.

I've worked in a family owned restaurant in Chicago for decades. The intensity among family members and the dialog between workers is extremely realistic. All the characters in this series have depth which makes it believable. This show has no "caricatures" or "cartoon-like" people for comic relief. Excellent show!
