Responding to numerous requests from listeners we felt a discussion on The Bear is a worthy detour from our regular format. That's why we asked Jenny to come back and discuss her perspective on the first season with Martha. A quote from the NYT article by Carina Chocano called How ‘The Bear’ Captures the Panic of Modern Work starts the discussion. Jenny and Martha discuss various elements Chocano reveals, and other elements they felt deserves further exploration. Please see Season 1 before listening, so any spoilers do not disappoint you, our listener.
What are the topics? As service people, we debate "how accurate is The Bear?", how accurate is the toxic atmostphere? how realistic is the brigade and the vibe of the kitchen? and how likely or unlikely are the characters?
There will be another Jenny and Martha hour for Season Two.
