Binged Ted Lasso in 3 days, then tried The Bear and had to quit

I blew through all 3 seasons of Ted Lasso last week and it was pure joy, but everyone kept telling me The Bear was even better. Gave it 5 episodes and I was stressed out the whole time, like my heart rate was up even in bed. The characters are great but it feels like a panic attack in 30 minute chunks. Has anyone else bounced off a 'prestige' show after a feel good one?

Feels like a panic attack in 30 minute chunks" is the most spot on description I've ever seen. I watched The Bear with my sister and we both had to pause it just to breathe during the first season. Ted Lasso made me feel like I was getting a hug, The Bear made me feel like I was the one flipping the burgers.
