I finally got around to watching 'The Bear' and the found family thing hit different

My old laptop's hinge gave out last week, so I was stuck on the couch with my tablet, binging the whole first season. The way that kitchen crew slowly becomes each other's real support system, especially after the funeral episode, felt more genuine than a lot of other shows. What's a show where the found family dynamic actually made you feel something?

Have you seen the show Ted Lasso? I read an article that said its found family theme works because the characters are all so broken when they start. The way they slowly build each other up felt really earned to me, not just forced for the plot. It made the happy moments hit a lot harder.

What about a show where the found family is a total mess? I get what @wright.drew is saying, but for me, the crew in 'Reservation Dogs' felt way more real and less put together.
