My friend in Chicago said she gave up on 'The Bear' after one episode

She told me it was too loud and stressful to watch. I had it on my list for months but kept putting it off for the same reason. I finally tried it last weekend and binged the whole first season in two days. The stress is part of the point, but the family story underneath is what hooked me. Has anyone else pushed through a show that seemed too intense at first?

So you're telling me you need a chill pill just to watch TV now?

Yeah I almost quit during that first episode too, my own heart was beating like a drum. I stuck with it because my friend said it gets better, and honestly I'm a glutton for punishment. The stress is real but it makes those quiet family moments hit so much harder.
