    I know it’s a crowd favorite but The Bear.

    I have watched three episodes. All of them get my anxiety to the roof. I asked my friends if it didn’t make them anxious, too and they replied ‘yes, but that’s the fun’.

    Maybe I’ll watch it when I’m done with my studies… See if I miss my anxiety.

      If just the first three episodes had your anxiety going stop trying. When Jamie Lee Curtis starts popping up, my anxiety started going up, and I’ve never had that issue with any TV or movie I’ve ever watched! I love her as an actress and she kills the role in The Bear, but the role is a seriously messed up mom.

        The mom is Jamie Lee Curtis???
        Seriously. It’s obvious now than I know, but I haven’t seen her or thought about her since A Fish Called Wanda and wow.
        She looks older than she did 40 years ago. Surprisingly enough.

          They make her look more frazzled in Bear, but yeah that’s her. I hate her role, but she’s amazing in it.

      I watched the first season. Loved it, but yeah the anxiety is a LOT.

      I only made it about two episodes into the second season. Still very very good TV, but it really is quite a burden to feel all that anxiety.

      I’ve never seen The Bear. I want to watch The Bear, but at the same time I don’t want to watch it. I used to work in food service when it first came out and had a few coworkers recommend it, but I told them then that I probably couldn’t handle it cause it would send my anxiety skyrocketing.

      And they said “yeah, but it’s SO good!”
