Wrote off The Bear after one episode, gave it another shot 6 months later
Tried The Bear back in January and turned it off 20 minutes in because the kitchen yelling stressed me out. My brother kept pushing me to try again, so I sat through 3 episodes last weekend and now I'm halfway through season 2 in 4 days. What show did you quit too early and end up loving?
Have you ever tried going back to a show you bailed on and been shocked it clicked the second time? I did the same thing with Breaking Bad, quit after a few episodes because it felt too slow, then came back a year later and crushed the whole thing in two weeks. The trick for me is giving it three episodes instead of one, since pilots are usually the worst part of any show. Also helps to watch with someone who already likes it, because they can tell you when the good stuff starts. If a show is still bugging you after three honest tries, then it is fine to walk away for good.
