Vent: my friend swore I'd give up on The Bear by episode 3, and 8 episodes in I finally get why she was wrong
Honestly she bet me $20 back in March that the kitchen yelling would wear me down before I hit the season finale, and I almost handed her the cash during the second episode. Tbh I think the hype around it being a stressful watch scared me off for a year, but once I stopped treating it like background noise at 11pm and really watched it, the whole thing clicked. Ngl I'm curious if anyone else had to push past the first few episodes of a show everyone swears is great, or did it just grab you right away?
Man, your friend was right and you just proved it by needing 5 extra episodes to get it. A show shouldn't take half a season to stop feeling like a chore.
