Napkins

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.

I normally don't leave written reviews on here, but this episode compelled me to. I was recently laid off and have been struggling, and this episode perfectly captured everything I'm going through and feeling. Excellent writing and acting, it really made me cry when Tina started crying. I know this is meant to be backstory for Tina's character, but the writers truly captured what it's like to lose your job and sense of purpose, and all of the fears and worries that creep in while trying desperately to stay afloat. 10/10 - hard to get through without sobbing (maybe not sobbing but definitely crying).

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.

The Bear season 1 and 2 were amazing. Both visually and story telling. But sadly the first episodes weren't doing it for me.

But when I saw this episode I felt that thrill of watching a "old" episode. The very well thought out story that made me both emotional but also think, in an almost terrifying real way, about my own future.

The story tied beautifully in with past seasons and episodes, and really made this season feel apart of the whole series.

For me it was the best episode of the entire season. Ayo has a real talent for directing and I really hope she will do more. The acting was also on point from the cast.

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!
