My brother insisted I watch 'The Bear' in one sitting, and he was absolutely right.
I powered through the first season in a single Sunday, and the tension just builds so perfectly that way. Has anyone else found a show that demands a full binge like that?
Totally get that with The Bear. The stress just locks you in. What was the specific moment where you felt you couldn't hit pause? For me, it was the "Review" episode in season two. That one shot of them all in the kitchen had me holding my breath.
Oh man, the "Review" episode was a whole different level of tension! I actually had to get up and walk around my living room after that one. For me it was the "Fishes" episode, the Christmas dinner. When the fork went into the table I just froze. That show makes you feel like you're right there in the middle of the yelling.
