Started watching The Bear on Hulu and it took me 3 episodes to realize it's not a comedy

I went into The Bear thinking it was a lighthearted chef show, you know, something to unwind to after work. But by episode 3 with the kitchen meltdown and the spaghetti scene, I was stressed out and noticed I hadn't laughed once. I actually checked my phone to confirm the genre and saw it's listed as a comedy-drama, which felt like a lie in the moment. It took me a solid 45 minutes of that episode to realize I was watching something way more intense than I signed up for. Has anyone else had that experience where a show totally tricks you with its vibe for the first few episodes?

Panic attack with great lighting" is so spot on. That show gave me actual anxiety.
