The way people call every show with 3 seasons a 'slow burn' is getting old
I watched Dark last week. That is a slow burn. It takes its time, builds mystery, pays off in season 3. But I keep seeing people call stuff like The Bear a slow burn. That show is loud and fast and stressful. A slow burn is not just a show that doesn't explode in episode 1. If there's action in every scene, it is not a slow burn. Why is every drama getting that label now?

What show would you call a genuinely slow burn that actually fits the definition?
