Warning: I started The Bear at 10pm and finished the whole thing by sunrise

My friend in Chicago said it was intense but I didn't expect to watch all 8 episodes in one go. Anyone else have a show that completely wrecked your sleep schedule?

Honestly I'm the opposite with shows like that. The Bear stressed me out so much I had to take breaks between episodes. All that yelling in the kitchen made my shoulders tense up. I watched one episode a night just to recover. My sleep schedule actually got better because I refused to binge it.

Did you ever get used to the stress or was it like that the whole time? I pushed through but my jaw was clenched for most of season two. That episode with the family dinner was a whole new level of chaos.

Yeah that family dinner episode, "a whole new level of chaos" is putting it lightly. I had a buddy who worked as a line cook back in the day and he said watching that show felt like being back in the weeds, dude would pace around his living room cracking his knuckles the whole time. He told me he never got used to the stress of a real kitchen, it just became normal for him to be on edge.
