PSA: I gave up on a show 20 minutes in and came back 3 months later, total flip
I started The Bear back in March and shut it off during the first episode because all the yelling made me anxious. My buddy Dave kept bugging me about it, so I tried again in June and blew through the whole first season in 4 days. Turns out the chaos is the point and it settles into something I actually cared about. What show did you bail on early that ended up being a favorite?
Man, I feel you on that first episode anxiety. That kind of constant yelling and stress can really wear you down, especially when you're just trying to relax and watch something. I had the same thing happen with Breaking Bad, quit like three episodes in because Walter just made me so mad and uncomfortable. My brother kept telling me to stick with it and when I finally went back I couldn't stop watching. It's funny how a show can hit you totally different depending on when you catch it. Sometimes you just aren't in the right head space the first time around.
