The Bear has received critical acclaim. [c] On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the overall series holds a 96% rating. [44] On Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, the overall series has received a score of 86 out of 100. [45]

Season 1

For the first season, the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 100% with an average rating of 8.7/10, based on 80 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "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." [30] Metacritic gave it a weighted average score of 88 out of 100 based on 24 critic reviews. [31]

The American Film Institute named it one of the ten best television programs of the year. [46] The Guardian named it number one of the best 100 TV shows of 2022 and described it as "the best workplace drama since Mad Men ". [47] [48] The Bear appeared in the top ten on numerous publications' "Best of 2022" lists, including first for The A.V. Club , BBC , People , and TVLine , among others. [49]

Season 2

On Rotten Tomatoes, 99% of 111 critic reviews are positive for the second season, and the average rating is 9.3/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "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." [32] Metacritic assigned it a weighted average score of 92 out of 100 based on 43 critic reviews. [33]

For the second year in a row, the American Film Institute named The Bear one of the ten best television programs of the year.

Season 3

On Rotten Tomatoes, 89% of 101 critics gave the third season a positive review, with an average rating of 7.9/10. The website's critics consensus states. "Having set an exceedingly high standard of excellence for itself, The Bear spends its third season simmering, stewing, and giving off an aroma that whets the appetite." [34] The website also reported that the season was "as audacious as ever" and it "still seems to continue delivering compelling and often intense television with performances that are so dependably brilliant that they're not even mentioned in most of the reviews. Instead, at this point in a show's life, it's easier to find faults in its sameness or changes, or in its attempts to repeat or outdo itself." [36] Metacritic assigned it a weighted average score of 80 out of 100 based on 45 critic reviews. [35]

Genre classification

The classification of The Bear as a comedy in certain award ceremonies, specifically the Primetime Emmys, has attracted media attention, given its dramatic style and focus on heavy topics. [111] [112] [4] Proponents of the series' categorization as "comedy" argue that the show unfolds as a dark comedy marked by ridiculous situations [113] and comedic timing, [114] relies on the comedic effect inherent to chaos, [113] is a comedy of errors [115] and is heavily characterized by back-and-forth banter [114] or snark. [115]

In 2024, the series became the most-nominated series in comedy categories at the Emmys with 23 nominations, surpassing 30 Rock which had 22 nominations in 2009. [116] However, it went on to lose the award for Outstanding Comedy Series, which it had been heavily favored to win, to Hacks , with The Hollywood Reporter suggesting that there was an insult among voters over its continued classification as a comedy. [117]

[118] [119] [120] [121] JustWatch, a guide to streaming content with access to data from more than 20 million users around the world, estimated that The Bear was the second most-streamed series in the U.S. during the week ending July 3. [122] It maintained the same position during the week ending July 17. [123] FX announced that the first season of The Bear was the most-watched comedy series in the network's history.

The season 3 premiere of The Bear garnered 5.4 million views in its first four days of streaming, marking the best performance for an FX premiere on Hulu and the most-watched season premiere for any scripted series on the platform.

The Bear achieved the third-largest season premiere for Hulu overall and the biggest Hulu on Disney+ premiere since the bundle's launch on March 27.
