The constant shouting, talking over each other, the abrasive and unlikeable characters, things going wrong all the time.

I did finish the whole season but I don’t know if I would watch the second season that has just been announced and I definitely would never rewatch the first season ever. It’s just too anxiety inducing and stressful

Yeah I don't get the hype of the Bear for all those reasons plus the shaky in your face camera work. Not my thing but JMO.

If anyone's looking for something similar I'd recommend Shiva Baby just watched it this week for the first time and I'd highly recommend.

I thought the film Emily the Criminal had way more Uncut Gems vibe than The Bear.

The Bear is praised for its realism. That’s often what it’s like in a real kitchen. Long time cooks/chefs have even commented that the show triggers their PTSD.

Tip the people who make you food.

It's practically a documentary. It's the most honest portrayal of the the restaurant world on television since Bourdain died. Constant shouting, people talking over each other, abrasive and unlikable personalities and things going wrong all the time all goes with the territory.

You lost me at the tip part.

People need to force their governments to raise pay for the workers instead of pushing that cost on the consumer.

I'm from a country where not tipping used to be okay but every American thing has to seep into our cultures somehow and so did tipping.

So much tension you could cut it with a knife in that show.

I thought it was a fairly enjoyable show, but the ending was pretty unsatisfying to me in several different ways.

I do my man, I don't think I implied anywhere that I don't tip. But the governments all around the world need to ensure fair payments to these workers. I just want the world to be a place where not tipping someone doesn't make you feel bad.
