    The best TV show I've ever watched...

    I think Ayo Edebiri's directorial debut hit it out of the park. It was an exquisitestory of a regular person, faced with the challenges of competing on a playing field heavily tilted against her. Liza Colón-Zayas' acting - paired with David Zayas as a terrific counterpart - was beautiful, evocative, a shining example of simplicity in authenticity. Jon Bernthal also toned down his star power so I could forget about him as the Punisher, haha. Every performance was equally nuanced, comedic, yet painfully poignant. Also, killer soundtrack and musical choices. Kudos to the cast and crew! Ayo Edebiri is clearly going to be a force in the filmmaking world.

    Wow wow wow wow wow

    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!

    Perfect Episode

    What a beautifully written, acted, and directed episode. Such an human story that added so much texture to already well developed characters. I'm so touched by the way this story was told. The job search struggle/desire to "find one's passion" continues to get harder as you age; and this is episode. Expressed that In such a lovely, honest, and judgement-free way. It's all too common and relatabl.

    This season has been good to date but perhaps not as striking/stand out as season two. But this episode brought back a little more kindness/love/humanity. The stress of the kitchen and running a business can only take us so far. Bravo to all those that contributed to this episode, particularly Liza Colon-Zayas.

    The essence of the show

    Ayo's eye is magnificent. Tina's background, as well as the others, is the foundation for the storyline. Carmy's vision cannot be sustained without people with the same hunger who are willing to put their lives on hold for it. It was great to see where Tina's loyalty towards the Bear family comes from and I think it sets a great tone to show Michael's actions. He is often perceived as a douche, but we know why people like him. Well, this is exactly why people liked him and why managed to get such a great crowd around him. Truly, an emotional experience that adds nothing but substance to the plot.

    Now that's a episode

    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.
