My brother said he binged 'The Bear' in one sitting and it changed his mind about cooking shows

We were at his place in Chicago and he told me he watched all of season 2 in a single night. He said he used to think cooking shows were just calm background noise, but the stress and yelling in that show felt real, like his old kitchen job. Has anyone else had a show totally flip their view on a whole type of TV?

Yeah that happens more than people talk about. A show can make you see a whole job or hobby differently, like how The Office made corporate work feel weirdly personal. It's like you get a backstage pass to the real stress and weird jokes. Now I can't watch those calm cooking competitions without thinking about the chaos happening off camera.
