  1. I loved the show before it became unBEARably pretentious

  2. I’m glad they didn’t win anything. Series 3 and 4 have been pretty unbearable 😬

  3. I’ve always been the odd one out and thought it was a bit over hyped. Not bad, just not great and definitely not for me.

  4. They lost the magic. Tried too hard for art, abandoned the fun jokes in the restaurant.

    The reason my family and I watched this show was 1 scene in season 1.
    Early on in the show they drop a bottle of xanax in koolaide at a kids party and knocked all the kids out. Everyone shrugged.

    My family and I couldnt stop cracking up. We watched every season after and while there were some good episodes, it was never funny or light hearted again. Season 1 was Ted Lasso for Restaurants. They gave that up for hype.

  5. Well yeah, it went from Shameless with food to Greys Anatomy. What made it great is long gone.

  6. I LOVED seasons 1 and 2 when there was still *some* lightheartedness to it, but these past two seasons it just feels like everyone is absolutely miserable. Which I get it’s the story they’re going for but it’s missing magic emotional moments like “I love you dude, let it rip” and Richie singing Taylor Swift in triumph. I think people are just fatigued by the show at this point

  7. This show is way too chaotic. I couldn’t even finish one episode (tried 4 or 5 times). 

  8. Became too miserable. But not overtly. Like in a depressing quiet way.

  9. I still like the show and hope that the Emmys just wanted to reward comedies in the comedy category. That’s been a farce from the start. It’s not even a drama, it’s actively depressing and maybe even trauma-inducing.

  11. The Bear is a Westworld level fumble. I do not understand why a 5th season is even happening, especially when the entire cast has outgrown it and the writing has absolutely no direction and nothing to say.

  12. Is the change that they’ll no longer compete in the Comedy section?

  13. I’m a little surprised there’s hate for Season 2. Richie’s story when he goes to learn at the fancy restaurant is one of the best episodes of the entire series and he has the best character development.

  14. the drama faking being a comedy didn’t win any comedy awards this year?

  15. I like it I don’t know, I like the artsy direction and the funny stuff, the artistic shots are beautiful I think

  16. Season 3 was amazing television. A true work of art. It needs to be taken for what it is, without expectation. But hey, everyone is welcome to their opinion.

  17. I agree that it never should’ve been in the comedy category, but I also think this was a weaker season

  19. I don’t watch the show, so I’m not sure how it’s changed over the seasons but just a testament to the other great shows that people are making and it’s not just an automatic win for a series just off name anymore.

  20. I still enjoy this show. I do agree season 4 is my least favorite, but still worth watching. I’m excited for whenever season 5 comes out.

  22. I’m still trying to figure out how, like, 37 people fit under the same buffet table.

  25. The show was never good. Just people gaslighting you into thinking it was great. They’re cooking food and they act like their curing cancer

  26. I agree that it’s not a comedy but the people calling it bad are simply wrong

  29. Wife and I stopped watching, too depressing with no real growth from anyone. I stopped caring about the characters and what was happening to them.

  31. You mean it’s not the most hilarious show on TV anymore?

  35. Wait, spending 1/5 of your show running time doing a closeup of somebody crying and giving a misery-filled monologue isn’t great television?

  36. I liked the first Season. Not so much after. I never understood why they would have ever been in the Comedy category and then to sweep it? That’s when I thought the Emmy’s had just lost their minds.

  37. One of the most overrated television shows in history. And I’m from Chicago. Not funny enough to be a comedy, too maudlin and sad to be a decent drama.

  38. Honestly I think it should never win another Emmy with the amount it stole from comedies over the years. It’s so stupid.

    I’ve never been happy to see a show do poorly on awards night, especially one I enjoy, but holy shit I’m glad it mostly got shut out.

  39. It took two seasons, but once I realized they were never going to bring in a real bear to cook I gave up on this show.

  41. Probably because the show got so bad the last few seasons.

  43. As a chef, the first season is perfect. The Uber eats episode is something that everyone in the industry has watched. Like being brought up at a bar post shift levels of accurate from industry folks. I think Matty had way more input prior to them having a fully developed plot arc. The second season lost the feel of realism from an industry perspective outside of how we all got there. I watch comedy to decompress and this has never been funny.

  44. They say “you good?” then stare at each other and say “yeah sure” like 3-4 times per episode.

    Then they stare at the wall until one of them sighs heavily and leaves the room.
