Rant: Why I think 'The Bear' is way overhyped

Honestly, I gave The Bear a shot because everyone kept saying it's the best show on TV right now. I watched the whole first season waiting for it to click with me but it never did. The constant yelling and kitchen chaos just felt stressful to watch, not entertaining. I get that it's supposed to show how messy restaurant life is, but there's no calm moments to balance it out. The main character Richie annoyed me so much I almost shut it off like six times. Ngl, I learned that just because a show has great reviews doesn't mean I have to like it. Has anyone else felt like they're missing something with this show?

Watched the whole first season waiting for it to click" wow that's some serious patience

thing is, I actually kind of get it. some shows take a while to find their footing, you know? but a whole season is a lot of hours to give something that isn't hitting. I usually tap out after three episodes if I'm not feeling it, life's too short. maybe it was more of a comfort watch thing, putting it on in the background while doing other stuff. still, props for sticking with it that long, I don't have that kind of patience myself.

Yeah that's basically how I approach most things now. Three strikes and you're out for me too. It's like dating, you know? If it doesn't click after a few dates, forcing it for months is just gonna make you more annoyed.
