Started The Bear on Hulu last week and I'm hooked. My wife keeps making fun of me for getting stressed watching a cooking show but that kitchen chaos is real. Looking for recommendations on what to watch next. Open to anything except reality TV. No judgment zone here right?
The Bear is legitimately intense though, that's not just you being dramatic lol. I started it thinking it'd be chill background watching while the kids did homework and ended up fully invested in the chaos.
Your wife clearly hasn't watched it yet. Once she sees that kitchen during service she'll understand the stress is totally valid. That show is basically anxiety simulator but make it entertaining.
Same here man, I've been sneaking episodes after the kids go to bed. It's weirdly gripping for a show about a restaurant. Way better than the usual stuff I end up half-watching on my phone.
Haven't started that one yet but adding it to the list. What else are you watching? Always looking for something good during the 30 minutes of peace after bedtime.
The Bear is incredible but yeah it's stressful to watch. My wife does the same thing when I'm white-knuckling through episodes. The kitchen chaos hits different when you're stressed.
Make her watch it with you and then see if she's still laughing. That show gets in your head.
I've been watching that too between night shifts. Finally something that keeps me awake for the right reasons instead of just the baby crying at 2am.
The Bear is legitimately stressful though! My wife was yelling at the TV during the kitchen scenes. You're not alone in that reaction, it's just good drama.

Haven't gotten to it yet but adding to the list. Need something to watch after the kids go down that isn't another kids show.
