“The Bear” is one of the best television shows out there, no question, but what it is not, is a comedy. 

The methods that the Emmys uses to judge a submitted show’s award category is merely what the show’s producers submit it as. The producers of “The Bear” see the show as a comedy rather than a drama and so that is what it is. 

I find this quite confusing as the show is one of the most gripping and anxiety riddled watches you will ever come across and is rather serious compared to other shows in the same category.

I feel this creates some unfairness because the show is more in line with dramas like “Shogun” and takes away from the chances of other comedies to win awards because the show is just so good. 

The success and awards that the show has won are warranted because it is truly a brilliant piece of art, but I will never think of it as a comedy.
