Anyone else sick of these rich people shows about rich people restaurants? I would rather see a show about a lower middle class guy who works in a shitty diner. I don’t understand the appeal of all the rich people tv shows
I'm not sure that The Bear really fits what you're complaining about here, but I love the complaint and agree with it in general, so upvoted your comment anyways. So much fiction nowadays is about rich people and "nepo babies", And life scenarios that are generally completely unattainable for most people. As if it wasn't already obvious enough that the majority of mass market fiction is created as some sort of escapist opioid for the peasants. The worst is the new "eat the rich" genre, that pretends to be criticizing, capitalism and wealth while simultaneously drooling over it the whole time.
The only clips I’ve seen from the bear have a lot of fancy restaurant kitchen stuff
Yeah that's a fair point, it does have some of that wealth ogling going on. Although in that show since none of the characters are really that rich, it feels more like they're in the shadow of wealth rather than partaking in it. I give that a pass because, how could you tell a realistic modern story without having people in the shadow of wealth?
It’s actually about his struggle having a successful restaurant despite not having money, amongst other thing’s
