The Bear Season 3 Ep 6: 'Napkins'
Bottle episodes can be risky business for a series, but \u201cThe Bear\u201d has shined with its one-off\xa0productions, from Season\u2019s 2 family stage play \u201cFishes\u201d to this season\u2019s mood poem of a premier.\nThis episode, \u201cNapkins,\u201d marks the directorial debut of series regular Ayo Edebiri (Sydney) and focuses almost entirely on how Tina (played remarkably by Liza Col\xf3n-Zayas) found her way to The Beef/The Bear.\nFriend of PYK C.J. Krawczyk stops in to share with Tom and Kevin his conflicting thoughts about the episode. On one hand, the half hour is an affecting portrayal of the heartbreak and frustration of\xa0job insecurity. On the other, it also takes us away from the central dynamics of \u201cThe Bear" in the middle of a season that has spent precious little time in the kitchen \u2014 and virtually no time in the dining room.\nWhatever misgivings the guys have about the trajectory of Season 3, they agree that the music has been pitch perfect.\xa0\nSubscribe to the new PYK Substack! https://www.packyourknives.com/\nRate PYK 5 Stars on Apple or Spotify\nFollow PYK on Twitter: @packknives & Instagram: @packyourknives\nCOUNT THE DINGS MERCH STORE - Check it out here: https://bit.ly/CTDMERCH\nLearn more about your ad choices.
