I just hit 50 episodes of a show I thought I'd hate

My partner made me watch the first episode of 'The Bear' and I was sure it would be too stressful for me. I ended up watching the whole first season in a weekend, and now I've seen every episode they've put out. It's that mix of family drama and kitchen chaos that just hooks you. Has anyone else been totally wrong about a show that became a favorite?

That's so real, the stress of that show is part of the draw somehow lol. What was the exact moment in the first episode where you realized you were actually hooked, even though you thought you'd hate it?

Honestly that stress is the exact reason I had to stop watching. It felt less like a fun hook and more like bringing my old job home with me. The whole vibe just made my shoulders tense up, you know? Sometimes a show can be too good at showing the messy parts of life.
