Binged every episode of The Bear in one sitting, then hit a wall at episode 7
I finally gave in and picked The Bear over Severance for my weekend marathon. Seemed like a safe pick, everyone loves it. Got through 6 episodes in a row on Saturday night no problem, but by episode 7 I was completely burned out on all the yelling and the kitchen chaos. Had to stop and go get air at the 7-Eleven down the street. Has anyone else picked a show everyone hypes up and then felt guilty for not loving it as much as they thought?
The thing nobody talks about is that "The Bear" is less about a restaurant and more about what anxiety feels like, but the show is so good at that it becomes a chore to watch past the hype. I tapped out around the same spot and honestly, taking that walk to 7-Eleven was more therapy than any episode could give me.
