‘The Bear’ Season 2
For the second year in a row, FX’s hit series The Bear is the must-watch show of the summer. Season 2’s 10 tasty episodes, which dropped on Hulu June 22, waste no time reminding us that Christopher Storer’s intense culinary dramedy is brimming with heavy storylines, palpable tension, invigorating hope, and a whole lot of heart. As Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and our favorite Season 1 chefs renovate their sandwich joint with plans to open a hot new spot (aptly called The Bear), Season 2 finds new sources of stress, takes us out of the kitchen, and puts a greater focus on a fiercely talented ensemble cast. Fresh challenges beget major introspection and character growth, while jaw-dropping guest stars, powerful performances, and a perfect Taylor Swift needle drop will have you laughing, sobbing, and screaming at your screen. Fans of Season 1’s “Review” will be happy to know Season 2 delivers another standout episode, and an eventful, affecting finale will leave you hungry for more.
