10 TV Shows to not Miss this Summer

1. Bridgerton

If you have managed to put off seeing the performance, there’s no reason not to: Bridgerton is an absolute must-see. 

The show centers on the aristocracy of London in the early 1800s as they pursue romantic relationships, political connections, and gossip amid the glitzy social season—though not necessarily together. 

Consider it a decadent, escape-oriented mashup of Gossip Girl and Pride & Prejudice that has something to offer everyone—a wonderful retelling of the lives of people of color in that era.

2. The Sweet Tooth

The post-apocalyptic fairy tale world of this fantasy book, which is based on the DC Comic, is one in which “nature made everyone sick.” 

The first part may seem eerily similar, but the relatability ends there: Due to this outbreak, strange hybrid kids with parts animal and part human began to appear.

It’s unclear if hybrids are the virus’s cause or effect, but many people chase and dread them, which makes life considerably more difficult for these children after the outbreak.

3. A Baby Reindeer

This Netflix original film illustrates what happens when infatuation—or love—goes too far and becomes an obsession. It is based on a true tale. 

After meeting a lonely lady posing as a lawyer, Donny, a failing comic and bartender, offers her a cup of tea at the house. The idea moves the lonely woman so much that she resolves to become a committed stalker.

4. One Day 

This British TV version, which is based on the renowned David Nicholls adaptation, chronicles the decades-long romance of Dex and Em as they reconvene on the same day each year. (Warning: there will be tears.) 

5. Love Is Blind 

This intriguing reality TV concept’s sixth season is currently available. Because you often like to view your date before you go out on a date, this Netflix reality series is quite captivating. 

In this social experiment hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, unmarried men and women search for love, fall in love, and even get engaged before ever meeting in person. Would you choose someone’s flawless personality above their physical preferences?   

 6. Young Sheldon 

Whether you enjoy Big Bang Theory or not, Young Sheldon is a charming sitcom that’s simple to adore.

Sheldon, a bright but innocent young man, learns that establishing friends is more difficult than he initially thought as he attempts to deal with the challenges of youth. 

7. Fall of the House of Usher

This Netflix original series, which is based on an Edgar Allen Poe short tale, centers on brothers who have established a family dynasty through a prosperous pharmaceutical firm.

However, things start to become complicated when all of the heirs begin to pass away unexplainably.

 8. Sex Education

You will both be rolling on the floor laughing and cringing at this wonderful comedy-drama. Otis, the main character, is a shy, timid young man who lacks sexual experience and struggles to understand who he is. 

The fact that his mother practices sex therapy further exacerbates the situation, and when a disobedient girl called Maeve suggests they open a school sex-therapy clinic together, things start to get extremely serious.

9. Virgin River

This series is made to be binge-worthy, with elements of the medical mystery of Grey’s Anatomy, the small-town intrigue of Gilmore Girls, and the romantic tension of all your favorite rom-coms loaded with banter. 

Much better, Season 5 was just published, so there’s much more to enjoy, especially if you’re looking for an easy program to watch. It takes place in a chilly town in northern California.

10. Too Hot to Handle

Based on the trailer, you may be a little dubious about this one (as did we), but it turns out that it’s more interesting than we anticipated to see a group of individuals struggle with their libidos. 

Ten incredibly handsome individuals are forced to live together in this sultry reality program, but there’s a catch: they have to commit to a $100,000 celibacy challenge, with any infractions costing them their prize money. Netflix is now offering streaming for Season 5.

When the critics and the fans agree, you know a show is worth the watch. This summer, Netflix features several standouts that have garnered both critical acclaim and audience adoration. These shows have it all: impeccable writing, stellar performances, and the kind of storytelling that sticks with you long after the credits roll.

From groundbreaking dramas to awe-inspiring docuseries, these binge-worthy shows are the cream of the crop. They’re the ones you’ll see trending on social media, the ones friends insist you watch, and the ones you’ll likely find yourself recommending for summers to come.
