What to Know

Critics Consensus

Savory as a well-judged soufflé, Carême is a twisty confection that makes 19th-century spycraft a rousing and seductive viewing experience.

Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Sinfully fun even as it gets more and more preposterous. Seconds, please! Rated: 3.5/4 May 2, 2025 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal Carême is confusing but mostly fun, the show’s charm being contained in the food, the beds and Mr. Voison’s smile, a flashbulb in the darkness of a politically muddled country. May 2, 2025 Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) ...this biographical series about [Marie-Antoine Carême's] ascent is such an enjoyable and resplendent adventure that it’s worth suspending your disbelief. Rated: 3.5/5 May 1, 2025 Full Review James Delingpole The Spectator Perhaps the Bridgerton crowd will enjoy this confection of sex, bad history and nonsense but to me it’s just an opportunity wasted. May 8, 2025 Full Review Ty'Kira Smalls Common Sense Media Carême is sensual, intriguing, and unique; Benjamin Voisin's portrayal of the "first celebrity chef" is charismatic and complex. May 7, 2025 Full Review Chris Wasser Sunday Independent (Ireland) It takes a while to settle, but confusion inevitably gives way to enjoyment, and director Martin Bourboulon (Eiffel, The Three Musketeers: D’Artagnan) has his fun assembling this busy yet largely irresistible concoction.

Kate R Why did I like this so much?! Lots to love here. Acting, screenplay, set design and writing are all on point. Also… not much sex (and it’s done tastefully and discretely when there is) so just relax and enjoy this deliciously tasty ride through French history ;) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Benny C Apple TV's French series have all been quite good but little watched in NA. La Maison in particular was excellent. I think this one is also great so far. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Read all reviews
