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.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Instead of reinventing the menu, The Bear's second season wisely opts to toss its lovable characters into another frying pan of adversity, lets 'em cook, and serves up yet another supremely satisfying dish.

Simran Hans

New Statesman

It’s the kind of rich character development that’s missing from most TV and films. Like in a great sports movie, the thrill is in seeing each team member working in synchronicity, lest the whole performance fall flat.

Hollywood Reporter

Jeremy Allen White is still great on The Bear, but credit to the creative team for realizing that this is a show that works best as a true ensemble and not as a star vehicle with some meaty supporting roles.

Camilla Long

Times (UK)

It’s a show about food in which the camera itself seems starving, pushing hungrily up against its main characters as they try to resurrect their failing sandwich shop in Chicago.

Bill G Whiny everyone’s whiny. The owner of the bear…whiniest of all. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review Rufus G La exploración de cada uno de los personajes hace que te involucres de todo el producto viendo su evolución. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/24 Full Review Audience Member Watching this show feels like edging a panic attack in half hour increments but I like it so maybe that says more about me as a character than the show itself. Well done cast and crew 👏🏾 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/04/24 Full Review Brian D 66%. Thought it was pretty boring Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review Rory M A perfect expansion on the first seasons charecters ideas and events Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review Marty C I like this season more than the first. I like the overall arch of racing to get the restaurant open. And the final episode is one of the best acted and written episodes of TV I've seen in a long time.
