I was thinking either the bear or andor and at the end of the day I think the bear did a better job with the direction. I really felt like being in a high octane intense workplace character drama. Everything's just fire

That show is one of the most stressful things I’ve ever watched. Does it get better in that regard?

It is extremely stressful and claustrophobic. Which, in my opinion,cements the tensions and the claustrophic nature of a small kitchen. The tensions are more intense because of the close-up framing, not many or any wide shots. Each episode gets more stressful until, I feel the stress climax of episode 6 and 7. Episode 6 leads up to the mess that is episode 7 and the later relaxing of some of the stresses in episode 8. The amazing thing is that there were no hand models/actors, meaning each actor was actually chopping the food.

I have mixed feelings about this show. The way it’s filmed and the acting is spectacular but the actual story wasn’t very good and the ending made no sense.
