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.

This was a welcome relief to my fruitless search for decent drama on Netflix. So thanks to the BBC for serving up a tasty dish. Fast moving, and sometimes difficult to watch much of the time, thanks to the predictability of the story lines. I don't agree with those who have given a low rating based on the predictable story lines. That doesn't stop it being a strong drama.

Similarly I don't have a huge problem with the fact that all the main characters have their own demons. This is fiction and a drama so we can't expect them to be boringly perfect.

I hope there is a new series and I hope the budge extends to more episodes.

This had me gripped from the very first scene. Fast moving, sometimes at a manic pace, this was partly shot on a hand held camera which gave a feel of the insane pace this drama moved along at.

There were some outstanding performances from a stellar cast, with the star of them all, Stephen Graham, making brief appearances as he is slowly introduced into the series after his dramatic exit in the prequel movie, which this series is based on.

I found no fault in this production. It is a masterpiece of film making and acting at its best. The good thing is there are more episodes to follow and I look forward to watching them all.

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.

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!!!
