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.

The Bear: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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. Jan 16, 2024 Full Review The Bear: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Dan Fienberg 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. Dec 14, 2023 Full Review The Bear: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) tt stern-enzi WXIX-TV (Cincinnati, OH) It's a great show, it is amazing. Sep 12, 2023 Full Review The Bear: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Donal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) The Bear serves up a fresh feast of bite-sized drama... Jan 29, 2024 Full Review The Bear: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Pallavi Keswani The Hindu Moving beyond the confines of Carmy, his grief, and the Berzatto family members, this season of The Bear excels in establishing itself as an ensemble drama. Jan 23, 2024 Full Review The Bear: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Aglaia Berlutti Hipertextual The Bear's second season takes a step out of the kitchen to explore its characters with greater breadth and intelligence. The result is another point of view that showcases a solid evolving storyline. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: A+ Jan 18, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Jasmine W One of the best shows I've watched in years - honestly incredible and I absolutely cannot wait for Season 3. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review tm11999 M utter meandering crapfest obviously written by gen z and gen alpha pvssies. they spent most of the money on music. the cook, finds $300,000.00 and instead of selling to a guy who wants to buy the business and quietly leaving with the money that nobody in the universe knows about, he tells everyone about the money and throws it into renovating the rathole and has to borrow $500,000.00 more in deathtrap chicago. no human on earth makes that choice as you can't do business in chicago anymore. do NOT watch this blah. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Audience Member First season was...okay, except for the really bad acting of Abby Elliott (Sugar). Second season just started falling apart long before the middle of it. Suspension was fake, the situations were awkward and cheesy. Last episode is cringe as it can be. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Charley S Equally as good as season 1. As anxiety inducing too! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Gabriel E Essa série é excelente. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Aldo C The way characters are more develop in this season is amazing, plus watch the real struggles that the main character goes through, you can identified with the show so much.
