And the world truly went on with Jamie Lee Curtis gushing about The Bear! The legend shared an image from the series with glancing caption ‘YES CHEF,’ tagging the series, Hulu, along with critic Richard Roeper. But that kind of shame was nothing compared to the comment section filled with fans screaming, crying, and actually bingeing the series through Season 4 like it is the last meal on earth.

Curtis posted an image of a quiet moment from the series: a character in a simple white tee stops in soft light and appears to be contemplating the burdens of the world on their shoulders. Such a calm moment is in complete opposition with what the fans are feeling. The FX caption hints at a “dreamlike intensity;” let’s say that fits. This won’t simply dish you some drama; it piles it on with an existential angst.
“One user said that he had binge-watched Season 4 in one night, held together by caffeine and regret,” “Rough morning. Absolutely 10/10 season,” he wrote. That user was soon responded with, “SAME. Worth it.” The pain of having no sleep is real, and so is the obsession. Another user jumped in, in pain, screaming, and applauding Curtis as “phenomenal,” with enough crying emojis to fill an empty box for tissues.
Until the talks of the Thanksgiving episode came in: one fan laughed and said that it annoyed her—”so loud”—but still pleaded for encouragement to keep watching. Mood. Meanwhile, others are begging for any details of the next season, showing that patience is not a virtue while watching this show.
That is the true string that goes through it all, which interestingly calls this cast and crew ‘rockstars.’ Much deserved. Simple and honest, this show is a cultural reboot, and Curtis’s post is central for all those still recovering from the emotional mess.
Whether for the madness or the tears or for the never-relaxing Jeremy Allen White, what is obvious is the Bear has the claws of pop culture, and nobody is walking away unhurt!

So grab a box of tissues, throw on some noise-canceling headphones, and take a Xanax while you are at it. It is going to be a hard ride this season. They are not joking anymore.
