i started watching the bear a little while ago. watched the first episode, it was good but nothing really happened. watched the second episode, it wasn’t good and nothing happened. i’m sick of shows being like this. if you’re gonna have insanely short seasons every single episode needs to be off-the-wall banger scenes back-to-back. nobody needs 5 minutes of sad divorced dad being a sad divorced dad when we only get 8(!!!) episodes per season. pathetic. absolutely god awful lighting too, im seriously sick of everything looking like washed-out sludge. my review of the series: 0/10

not to put any fans on blast but: checking the tag shows several people posting about that episode (somewhere in season 2 afaik) and yeah that’s another problem i have with shows these days. you get thru a bunch of utterly forgettable nothing episodes and you’re rewarded with some version of the red wedding: a big, dramatic, shocking episode that you can talk about with those in the know…. im old, im tired, i dont mind filler but for god’s sake make it something worth watching

this is a big part of why I basically don't watch live action tv anymore. I'll watch some anime if the visuals are interesting enough, but I just don't have the patience for slow TV.

if I want a good story told well, I'll watch a movie. and if I need something engaging that didn't require much effort from me, I'll listen to a podcast or watch YouTube.

Unfortunately, the second season is where The Bear really hits its stride. The first season has good moments, and it's an excellent examination of grief, but season two, man... The reason people talk about That Episode so much is because it's a cut above the rest, but every episode of season two is a Certified Banger.
