"Gary, a two-hander about Cousin Richie and Mikey Berzatto, revolves around a road trip to deliver a mysterious package before Richie's wife gives birth. The episode is a flashback, exploring Richie's character as he navigates life outside Chicago, contrasting his past with his current reformed self."
"The Bear still isn't a comedy by any stretch, but the meal made out of a trip of such scant distance is one of the funniest things it has done in years."
"Richie was the living embodiment of Chicago, pushing back hard at the first sign of gentrification. Here, as soon as he leaves his home city, he becomes a fish out of water: spiky, prickly and too loud by half."
