Boiling Point

Other reviewers are claiming this is a 'BTEC' version of 'The Bear' are absolutely clueless. I'm wondering if they even watched the film prior to this.

Boiling Point is a masterpiece. From start to finish you're drawn in and unable to turn it off. Some of the best British actors of the 21st century put on the performance of a lifetime. Stephen Graham is his usual brilliant self, terrific acting and constantly bringing the scenes down to a desperate reality. Hannah Walters is absolutely outstanding, reprising her role of the head pastry chef, adding so much more to her story than what we saw in the film.

The storyline meanders brilliantly through and keeps you gripped constantly, you can't expect more from British Drama, this sets the bar very high.

I write a lot of reviews as I love TV, especially dramas and the BBC have done it again, made a brilliant one. I read all the reviews and wonder what some of the 'haters' have been watching.

It's a hard hitting series and I really liked all the characters as individuals. The directing is clever as filming includes the food and it's delivery, this makes the series a bit different than other kitchen drama shows - I quite liked that aspect.

Andy (Stephen Graham) is as always, an outstanding actor and I really think that Carly (Vinette Robinson) and Emily (Hannah Walters) are two of the very best actors in their roles and they really made series believable for me.

The series is fast paced and in some scenes quite upsetting so be prepared....it's a high pressure environment and it is the boiling point!

Well done.....great series and well worth watching.

Absolutely love that they brought a series after the film! Anyone who works in hospitality knows how accurate this series is. Just binged all 4 episodes.

I particularly liked how it dived into the individual characters showing a bit about their backgrounds.

It might not be for everyone and that's ok, everyone is entitled to their own opinion but for me personally I've always wanted to see a series about the hospitality trade and Boiling Point ticks all the boxes.

Very similar every day situations to what it's really like. It's not just about cooking, waiting on tables or pouring pints! Long may it continue. Great job!

Boiling Point has history, having started as a short film which became a Netflix feature and has now become a four part TV series. There's no need to view either before coming to this (which is very much the best version) but you might want to look them up afterwards as the cast & crew are largely the same across all three.

Like many viewers I've worked in this environment albeit many years ago and I can attest to its accuracy in perfectly portraying the tensions of a busy kitchen and the conflicts that occasionally erupt spectacularly. I could literally feel my blood pressure rising just watching it.

There's a great cast across the board, its well-directed, beautifully written by James Cummings and has a fab score - its one of those productions where everyone involved is on top form and it all comes together seemlessly - I can't recommend it highly enough.

Congrats to all involved in making this one, hope there'll be more.

This is quite simply the best thing the BBC have ever done. This is all they should do now. They should leave the news well alone. An absolute masterclass of acting and directing. This really is next level stuff, it draws you in and just doesn't let you go. No spoilers but half way through episode 2 I suddenly realised I wasn't breathing. Just stunning in every department. It's not confirmed yet, but there will be a second series, it's too good for that not to happen. Yeah 'The Bear' is good, but this makes it looks like a very poor mans copy. British drama used to be the envy of the world, keep this up and it will be again. SUPERB!!!
