counterpoint, the bear was never good, it was a self serious show that hoped everyone would mistake people yelling over each other for real plot stakes and many fell for it. but literally no one is ready for that conversation

I hadn't gotten around to it, but it just sounded like a dramatic version of watching Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen show. Sounds like my impression was correct.

Oh thank goodness. I kept sweating not seeing it. Glad it's like Game of Thrones: seems like it's going to pay off, does not.

seems we're in a phase of prestige tv akin to the Hollywood blockbuster model, flood the zone with early rave reviews and vibes, convincing the audience what they're consuming is the best show ever, let the memes keep it going, then move on to the next two- or three-season "franchise"

I got canceled for saying that about BSG after it hastily and improvidently left New Caprica and wandered aimlessly with gimmicks for its remaining miserable 2 years. Well not so much canceled but kept going unnoticed.

the craziest thing is that fetishizing food culture in mainstream media was big like *10 years ago*. top chef, the various waves of the food network, this already happened. how long was The Bear a can't-miss prestige TV conceit before it finally took over memeland and vox/av club-likes?

i thought the first season was good, not great. season 2 wasn’t and i have to think fx probably had good reason to drop all of season 3 at once instead of behaving normally with it

Very ready for that conversation. It was always a pretty bad show.
