Spoilers for The Bear to follow.
As someone who has binge-watched all four seasons of The Bear immediately upon their release, I feel uniquely qualified to comment on all the things that piss me off about this show. Nothing brings an annoying propensity to use lingering musical montages as a substitute for good writing into relief quite like watching so many episodes at once. And after bingeing the show’s much-anticipated fourth season, I think I’ve finally figured out why The Bear is both impossible to stop watching — and totally infuriating.
