The Bear to Squid Game: the seven best shows to stream this week
After a peerless first two seasons of the hit Chicago restaurant drama, there was a sense that it was beginning to coast by the third. Can we expect the strained situation between Jeremy Allen White's highly-strung Carmy and ambitious sous chef Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) to be resolved this time round? The Bear's drama has always derived from the claustrophobia of its working environment – the characters are as close as family and equally prone to explosive emotions. As the restaurant's horizons widen, Carmy faces the realisation that certain changes, while painful to contemplate, might also be necessary. A promisingly primed pressure cooker. Disney+, from Thursday 26 June The rebellion has failed but the game goes on. The inventive dystopian drama nears its endgame, and the horror is becoming more inescapable. The thwarted uprising has done wonders for the prize fund but, for reasons he can't understand, its psychologically shattered instigator Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) has not been killed and is back in the contest. But does hope lie in the guards' work room which has been infiltrated? Squid Game feels less subtle as a satire as it reaches its climax but, as betrayals multiply and alliances are destroyed, the sense of an ending raises the dramatic stakes considerably. Netflix, from Friday 27 June This jaw-dropping documentary offers the stinky lowdown on an ill-fated 2013 pleasure cruise. At first, the passengers on the inaptly named Carnival Triumph (who included hen parties and couples on the holiday of a lifetime) were having a blast. But then the power went out, the toilets backed up and everything went a bit Triangle of Sadness. Soon, fights were breaking out, food was running out and urine and excrement began seeping out of the sewage system, up through the plugholes and into the carpets. Equal parts hilarious and watch-through-your-fingers gross. Netflix, from Tuesday 24 June The central premise of Ryan Coogler's latest expansion of the Wakanda universe is like a homage to Iron Man. Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne, the first Black woman to lead a Marvel series) is a restless MIT student with a desire to create something new. Or she could just recreate something old. In cahoots with maverick criminal Parker Robbins (Anthony Ramos), she combines technology with magic and unleashes something she can't control. But Ironheart doesn't feel like vintage Marvel, despite Thorne's spirited performance. Disney+, from Wednesday 25 June Sign up to What's On Get the best TV reviews, news and features in your inbox every Monday after newsletter promotion An LGBTQ+ spin-off from the dating series that offers a drastic solution to relationships in flux. These six couples all contain one partner who is ready for long-term commitment and another with reservations. The show sends them away to live with other possible partners, on the basis that clarity will emerge. But it wouldn't be good TV if that was always the case, and that's sometimes an ethical problem – some people leave more confused than when they arrived, particularly when the additional dimension of family disapproval of same-sex relationships is involved. Netflix, from Wednesday 25 June There's a slightly odd tone to this drama, which attempts to function as a law enforcement thriller while occasionally seeming to parody that genre. When an LAPD detective is killed, the hunt for the assailant leads cops into even darker waters as they learn that a 'Chernobyl-level event' is being planned in LA. 'Our mission could prevent another 9/11,' says one, excitedly. Cue a series of wild car chases, extensive gunplay and absurd feats of undercover derring do, all undercut by sly, slightly knowing winks. Jensen Ackles and Jennifer Camacho star. Prime Video, from Wednesday 25 June Three years after collaborating on underrated drama Black Bird, actor Taron Egerton and writer Dennis Lehane reunite for this thriller about arson investigator Dave Gudson (Egerton) and detective Michelle Calderone (Jurnee Smollett), who has been assigned to help him catch two serial arsonists. Initially, it's a slow burn as the paranoid pair (she's a traumatised ex-marine while he's seen too many blazes) learn to trust each other. But things hot up: the identity of one of the perpetrators is quickly apparent but his motives reveal themselves gradually. Apple TV+, from Friday 27 June

Jeremy Allen White was 'tolerant' of Bruce Springsteen on film set
Jeremy Allen White was 'very tolerant' of Bruce Springsteen on the set of Deliver Me From Nowhere. The 34-year-old actor portrays Springsteen in the upcoming biographical movie, and the rock legend has revealed that Jeremy was gracious during his visits to the film's set. Springsteen, 75, told Rolling Stone magazine: 'Jeremy Allen White was very, very tolerant of me the days that I would appear on the set. 'I said to him, 'Look, anytime I'm in the way, just give me the look and I'm on my way home.' So the days that I got out there, he was wonderfully tolerant with me being there. And it was just fun. It was enjoyable.' The new movie explores 'some of the most painful days' of Springsteen's life. And the chart-topping star actually made a conscious effort to avoid the set on certain days. He explained: 'I mean, there's some unusualness to it because the movie involves, in some ways, some of the most painful days of my life. 'If there was a scene coming up that was sometimes really deeply personal, I wanted the actors to feel completely free, and I didn't want to get in the way, and so I would just stay at home.' Springsteen is one of the best-selling artists of all time, but he still suffers from stage fright. He previously explained to the Guardian newspaper: 'You work on an album in a hermetically sealed environment. One of the most frightening things is playing it for someone else. For the first time you're hearing it through their ears. 'They're just sitting there, but you're hearing the thing totally brand new through their ears. And you're recognising all its faults and all its strengths. So the thing about coming out in front of an audience every night is that I'm hearing what I'm doing through that audience's ears.' Springsteen learned how to play in big stadiums after years of touring. He shared: 'It's all about making that initial connection with the audience. If you do that, the folks at the back will feel it, the folks in the middle will feel it, the folks at the front will feel it. 'If you go out there and you can't imagine that connection, it's not going to happen, and then you're going to have a miserable few hours. That's when you think, 'OK. I'm a fraud.''

Bruce Springsteen Says He Finished Recording a New Solo Album
In a new Rolling Stone interview tied to the release of his new box set Tracks II: The Lost Albums, Bruce Springsteen speaks at great length about the seven unreleased LPs he resurrected for the package, why most people have the wrong idea about his productivity in the Nineties, the upcoming biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, and even his plans for a third Tracks box. But when the conversation came around to his next album, he only offered a few details: 'I have a record finished,' he says. 'It's a solo record…I would imagine it will come out in '26 sometime.' When we asked if would say anything more about it, we got a one word response: 'No.' More from Rolling Stone Jeremy Allen White Was Born to Run as Bruce Springsteen in 'Deliver Me From Nowhere' Trailer Bruce Springsteen Says Without Brian Wilson There'd Be No 'Racing in the Street' Bruce Springsteen, the Crooner? Hear Surprising 'Lost' Track 'Sunday Love' He was was willing to expand more when Tracks III came up. 'That's something that I've finished and is ready to be released,' he says. 'It's just a question of when we have time to put that out, considering that I have a variety of other things that I'm interested in releasing soon also. But you won't be waiting 25 years for the next Tracks album. I suppose it'll come out in the next three years or so.' Unlike the second volume of Tracks, this one isn't centered around shelved albums. 'This is all music from different points in my work life that I've made, some with the band, without the band, some that go way back,' he says. 'At that point, the vault will be not completely empty, but virtually empty. There will be really not more, which I'm sort of excited about doing, finally getting all the music that I have and have recorded out to my fans.' Three years ago, Springsteen released the covers collection Only the Strong Survive where he tackled classic soul/R&B songs like 'Don't Play That Song,' 'Somebody We'll Be Together,' and 'Turn Back the Hands of Time.' He hinted at a second volume back then, and he tells Rolling Stone it's indeed been recorded. 'It's been finished for quite a while,' he says. 'Once again, timing. The covers records are things I make for my own amusement and entertainment when I'm not writing. It was just a project that I had a lot of fun doing. And I love all that music, I love all those songs and those singers. So I do have another one, and there's other covers things I've done that were not necessarily soul-related, so it's another project.' Springsteen is currently on tour in Europe. It wraps up July 3 in Milan, Italy. That'll officially mark the end of an extensive E Street Band run that started back in February 2023. It's unlikely he'll ever do a tour quite that long again. 'Rather than do a 130-show stretch,' he says, 'which we did this time because we had been off for six years, so I had to get back in touch with my audience, and it was fun playing with the band … in the future, I think we'll probably play more often and less dates.' How about a tour without the E Street Band that would gave him a chance to spotlight different corners of his catalog? 'I will be doing that again at some point,' he says. 'I'm not sure what the music will be, but I'll have a lot to draw on because I'm making a lot of records. But at some point, I'd like to do that.'
