On paper, the premise of The Bear - an award-winning chef returns to his home town, Chicago, to take over the family sandwich shop following the suicide of his older brother - doesn't read like it'd make for particularly gripping entertainment, but trust us, now that Succession has concluded, you won't find a more compelling, engaging, perfectly pitched drama anywhere on TV/streaming services.
Season two of the Hulu/FX drama, already screening in the US, and launching on Disney+ in the UK on July 19, finds chef Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) overseeing plans to overhaul The Original Beef of Chicagoland, and it's even more engrossing and intense than season 1, which is saying something.
Accompanying the family fall-outs, the flame-grilling, and the frantic "Yes chef!" flurries, The Bear has a truly fabulous soundtrack, with the very first episode opening to Refused's New Noise. Here are the 10 best rock songs soundtracking season 2.
