I thought 'The Bear' was just another cooking show, but I was totally wrong
I kept seeing people talk about it online and thought, 'Great, more chefs yelling in a kitchen.' My friend finally made me watch the first episode last month, and I was hooked by the end of the opening scene. It's not really about food at all, it's about stress, family, and trying to fix a broken thing. The way they show the chaos of the kitchen actually made me feel anxious, in a good way. I ended up watching the whole first season in one weekend, which I never do. The part where he finds the money in the tomato cans? I did not see that coming. Has anyone else had a show surprise them like that, where you went in with low expectations and got totally sucked in?

Totally, @lisa_grant nailed it, I went in blind and got wrecked by that show.

Yeah "more chefs yelling in a kitchen" was my exact thought too, but it's so much more about the stress and family stuff.

Honestly I read this review that said it was like watching a panic attack turned into art, which sounds weird but after seeing it I get it. The part where the printer just keeps going with all those orders, and the music gets louder, I had to pause it for a minute. Tbh I went in thinking it was just a food show too, but it’s more about everyone in that place being a little broken and trying to hold it together. That scene with the cans was crazy, but for me it was the silent Christmas episode that really got me.
