rather than as art I must love.

It has many set small saving graces. Still not enough to woo me.

The Bear, on the other hand, infuriates me with all the manufactured bullshit millenial drama. But there's also real brokenness and real grace overflowing. I guess I'm just a sucker for a shared meal that bleeds.
