Heard a group at the coffee shop say 'The Bear' is too stressful to binge

I was grabbing a coffee yesterday and a table next to me was talking about their weekend watch. One person said they couldn't handle more than one episode of The Bear at a time because it felt like work. I get that it's intense, but I watched all of season two in a single day. For me, the high energy is what makes it so good and hard to stop. What's a show everyone says is too much that you actually love to binge?

Yeah I had a friend who said the same thing about that show, called it kitchen anxiety... honestly I find the chaos weirdly calming? Reminds me of my old job at this family diner, the rush was the only time my brain shut off. I get why people need breaks though, it's a lot of yelling.

Binging that show sounds like a recipe for burnout. The constant yelling and kitchen disasters just pile on stress with no payoff. It's more of a chore than entertainment.
