Has anyone watched "The Bear" on FX? Thoughts? I don't know anything about it... haven't even searched/researched it but just saw a TV ad & it intrigued me.
Zoinks! Digital Trends has compiled a list of 10 TV shows that they say are overrated, from "Parks and Recreation" ("overly hopeful") to "The Bear" ("a great dramedy, but award shows and audiences keep treating it as Christ’s second coming, which it most certainly isn’t."). Here's the full list. We want to know: Which of these do you think are overhyped, or just don't stand the test of time (choose as many as you like)? Tell us in the comments if there's another show that's critically adored but that you just can't see the appeal of.
The Bear has hit the highest level of relevance in nerd circles: it's entered the reaction-emoji lexicon in work chats. 🧑🍳 as a reaction now means "yes, chef" = yes, understood, will do.
Now, we have a highly evolved emoji dialect at my work, mostly because people tend to stay much longer than at most tech firms; in addition to obvious basics like a custom gavel and Picard "make it so" we also have some hilariously arbitrary ones like 🐸 and 🐙. But I bet we're not the only ones using 🧑🍳
