Hot take: The Bear season 2 is overrated and stressful to watch

I finally caved and watched it last month after everyone kept telling me how genius it is. Look, I get it, the restaurant stuff is accurate and all. But after working a double at my place, the last thing I want is to come home and watch people yell at each other in a kitchen. That episode where they do the tasting menu prep gave me actual anxiety. Am I the only one who found it more exhausting than entertaining?

That tasting menu episode (Episode 6, right?) literally had me pacing my living room. I had to pause it twice just to catch my breath. It's like they captured every stressful kitchen shift I've ever had and turned it into a TV show, which is the exact opposite of relaxing.

Start pausing that episode just to breathe, because same. That whole tasting menu prep was wall to wall chaos with no breaks. I mean, it's good TV but it's not exactly the cozy comfort watch people hyped it up to be. Maybe I just need a show where nobody is screaming for once.
