Napkins

This is such a well-written episode. So glad Tina gets the character development she deserves! It's amazing to see that the three lead female roles (Syd, T and Sugar) are such good characters, not in a feminist, forced way. The choice of music in this episode is yet again perfect. Liza Colón-Zayas is a brilliant actress. I remember how I despised T's character in the first few episodes of season 1. Oh, how things have changed. Jon Bernthal is also great in this. Even though a lot of people don't like the slow pace of season 3, I can still really enjoy it. The character development doesn't feel unearned. You could argue that the Faks get a bit too much screetime this season, but it's really not a big deal at all. More Tina Marrero, please!

I often feel that when I end up reviewing on here, it's to reveal how frustrated I am with a show or movie. It is my absolute pleasure to be able to provide a glowing analysis of a show for once!

'Napkins' pulls at your heartstrings. Most of us have been in Tina's shoes at some point and endured life's anguish. Every grit of her teeth, every desperate glance and every tear you really feel. Liza Colón-Zayas delivers an incredible performance, and whilst we've already seen her shine in the series so far, this episodes particular focus on her struggles reenforces her talent. Characterisation is the soul of this show. You could easily hand awards to everyone in the cast.

I must also add that Jon Bernthal is on another level. Everything he's in, I'm truly captivated. Despite his small role in this series, he is truly magnificent.

This episode had me in tears. Liza Colón-Zayas portrayal of Tina's struggle as a middle-aged Mum looking for work wanting to support her family wanting to feel valued wanting to feel like a member of society was just absolutely incredible.

The storyline, the performance, Before everything about this episode is just perfection from start to finish. I love the character of Tina and seeing a glimpse into her life and how she came to work at The Bear was fantastic.

Out of all Out of all the episodes this is the one that really spoke to me. Liza's performance, the direction the editing everything is just amazing more of Tina's story please! This is story telling at its best!

What a way to play with my emotions. I really did not like the previous episode but this one shows you what's great about this series.

I see that many have already commented on Liza's performance. Rightfully so. I wish I believed that the industry will recognize her work but I highly doubt it, so I just hope she keeps finding work worthy of her talent.

Nevertheless, I wanted to talk about the amazing work of Jon Bernthal as well. It must be amazing to bring a different kind of energy to set. It reminds me of Nathaniel senior in Six Feet Under. Their presence is bittersweet because they're no longer there, and if you started watching this show because you connected with it through your own grief, you can't help but link his character to the emotions of that special person who's no longer here.

He's so damn charming (and handsome)

This show is amazing. Deep meaningful touching, actings are top notch, screenplay, directing, everything at best. Very smooth. Truly one of the best shows ever and worthy of the time spent watching it. One of the shows that the characters grow and develop together in a team.

I wish it was possible to rate the shows over 10 out of 10!

Season 3 also deserves Emmy and golden globe awards. I hope they consider Tina's actress for an award. She was way beyond excellent in this episode.

It pictures the truth on American life and all struggles involved very tangibly. Hope this show keeps continuing through further seasons in future.
