My brother told me to give 'The Bear' a second chance after I quit halfway through season 1

He said the first few episodes are meant to feel stressful and chaotic, and that the show really finds its groove in the back half of the season. I binged the rest over the weekend and he was totally right, the character work just gets so much better. Anyone else have a show they were glad they stuck with?

But is it worth pushing through if the first half genuinely sucks?

Yeah that "really finds its groove" thing is so true. I see it all the time with stuff like learning a new skill, the beginning is just chaos until it clicks.

Exactly, that initial chaos is where the real work happens.

Notice how this happens with new hobbies too, like @wendy820 said. You spend the first week just fumbling around before anything makes sense. It's a good reminder that most good things need a little time to get going.
