   Even if you had made it through the first five episodes, Episode 6 would have destroyed you.

   (FWIW, I think the show is a masterpiece but I also understand how it could be painful for some.)

     @sfoskett @edbott @glennf @briankrebs you will absolutely want to stop watching at episode 6 if the earlier episodes made you upset

     @glennf @sfoskett @briankrebs

     Brian and Glenn, you might want to watch The Bear S2E4, "Honeydew," as a palate cleanser. It is an absolutely gorgeous, unstressful, almost meditational episode, directed by Ramy Youssef, with one character (Marcus) going to Copenhagen to learn some chef skills and getting more in the way of life lessons while he's there. After a small amount of stress at the start of the ep, it's all Zen.

     @glennf @edbott @briankrebs I literally stopped The Bear and asked my wife if she was ok. She was so stressed I thought something had happened to a family member or something! But no she was just really into The Bear!

     @sfoskett @edbott @briankrebs WOW. I watched ER religiously in its first several seasons, typically live (back in those days), and I realized I couldn't sleep for hours afterwards! Good TV can be too good. Dang, I even watched the Invincible Season 2 premiere (Atom Eve origin store), and even though I’d read the comics—well, the writers made excellent changes and upped the emotional ante so much I was shaking at the end. (It’s possible age increases emotional sensitivity to drama…)

     @edbott @briankrebs I watch the first episode, thought it was excellent, found it so stressful I couldn’t watch more. (I had the same problem with the Sopranos: saw a random episode, was blown away by it, but had palpitations for days, it felt like.)
