Update: gave up on The Bear after 2 episodes and ate my words 3 weeks later
I bailed on The Bear after 2 episodes back in March because the kitchen yelling stressed me out too much to enjoy it. Then my roommate put it on during a rainy Sunday and by episode 6 I was three bowls of pasta deep, completely hooked on how the family stuff sneaks up on you. Did a slow burn show ever win you over after you wrote it off on the first try?
