Globe TV critic Matthew Gilbert says goodbye to his job of 27 years, and to you, his readers - The Boston Globe

Jul 10, 2024 | bostonglobe.com | Matthew Gilbert

I started reviewing TV in 1997, only two years before the creative jolts of what is now called Prestige TV, or the Second Golden Age of TV, or the TV-Is-Better-Than-Movies Era. When I told friends about my brand-new TV gig back then, I could see them take a beat and say, “Oh — great!” in the same way they might say, “Oh — prison!” I’d been writing movie and book features for the Globe for a decade at that point, and TV seemed to them like a comedown. I was defecting to the wasteland.

A lovely détente born of intensity and trauma on ‘The Bear’

Jul 2, 2024 | bostonglobe.com | Matthew Gilbert

Includes spoilers from season 3 of “The Bear.”One of the things I’ve liked about “The Bear” is the way it will break up the usual narrative drive forward to give us an episode that focuses in on a single character or a momentous event. This season, I was especially moved by the episode called “Ice Chips,” which gives us the day Natalie (Abby Elliott) gives birth. It was, like the best of “The Bear,” emotionally explosive and yet finely nuanced.
