I finally got around to watching The Bear after putting it off for a year. The first episode had me so stressed I had to take a break halfway through.

Honestly, "you get used to the chaos" is the part I don't buy. That first episode stress never really went away for me, it just became a different flavor of tense. The show is good, but it's a workout.

You put it off for a YEAR? I could barely wait a week after hearing the hype. That first episode is a total anxiety attack, I get needing a break. Honestly, the whole show is like that but you get used to the chaos. It's worth sticking with it though, the stress pays off.

What specific part of the kitchen chaos got to you the most? For me it was the printer just going off nonstop with all those tickets piling up, that noise is pure panic. The way Carmy was yelling for the veal stock while everything else was burning felt way too real.

you get used to the chaos" is a straight up lie, @ivan462 is spot on about those tickets, that printer sound alone is enough to send someone into therapy. The show's great but it's basically a panic attack with good writing.
