Cool TV Shows for this Summer - The June Edit

I'm a TV show addict.

I have been roughly since 2008/2009, that's when I first started religiously watching a then-favorite show; it was Supernatural. I still stuck with it for a few years after that, but then I kind of got tired of it, and I haven't watched it for at least about three years.

Anyway, every start of the fall TV season, and then at the start of the summer, I write down all the TV shows that are going to premiere and come back, so that I know what I want to watch when the time comes. I have a little schedule with the premieres and one with each day of the week and what shows are on in what days (I really watch a lot of them). I like to keep organized, in case that wasn't already pretty obvious.

Let me first mention the shows that are returning.

Hannibal - June 4

The first episode is already out, and this show continues to be wonderfully creepy and amazing as in the two previous seasons!









Baby Daddy - Jun 3

I watched all three and a half seasons in about a week some time ago, so I will now be following it weekly.

It's not that innovative, and the constant back and forth of the characters love lives can be somewhat tiring, but it's got some really funny moments, and of course, it wasn't made to be taken that seriously, so it's a good light-hearted half hour you get to spend.




Beauty and the Beast - June 11

I've followed this one since the beginning, and although I almost stopped watching in the second half of last season, I'm glad I picked it up again some time later.

It was supposed to have premiered in May, but the first episode will now be this month.





Suits - June 24

One of my all-time favorites.

There's sarcasm, men in suits (hell, name of the show!), ladies wearing ridiculously elegant outfits and just in general, people kicking ass and being awesome lawyers.






Now for the new shows. I have not watched most of them, so I'm just going to leave the IMDB synopsis for some of them.

The Whispers - June 1

This deals with an 'imaginary friend', Drill, that reaches out to kids and asks them if they want to play a game. One that happens to make them almost kill someone.

One lady cop investigates these kids and why they doing these things, while a man in Africa investigates the sudden re-appearance of an airplane thought to have disappeared.

My theory: aliens.


UnReal - June 1

It's basically the inner-works of a dating reality show like The Bachelor, and how the contestants are manipulated into reacting to situations a certain way, so that they appear to be different and much more like drama queens to us.

The main character is the service shit-stirrer/ producer, but right on the first episode we see that she might not want to be one for much longer.





Stitchers - June 2

The first episode felt like it was a bit rushed, but I guess they really wanted to put most of their cards on the table, and have us get in the mindset that there could be a federal agency that  recruits people to hack into dead people's brains and see their memories. Anything to help solve a crime, I guess.



Killjoys - June 19

"In the Quad, a galaxy on the brink of a bloody interplanetary class war, a fun loving trio of bounty hunters attempt to remain impartial as they chase deadly warrants." (IMDB)

This sounds like fun, and it's set in space, what's not to love?






Ballers - June 21

"A series centered around a group of football players and their families, friends and handlers." (IMDB)

I'm not sure I will the whole thing, but Dwayne Johnson is worth giving it a try, at least.






The Brink - June 21

"Top U.S. government and military scramble to prevent World War 3 from happening amidst the chaos of a geopolitical crisis." (IMDB)

It's a comedy, and Jack Black's in it. Enough said.







Mr. Robot - June 24

"Follows a mysterious anarchist who recruits a young computer programmer who suffers from an anti-social disorder and connects to people by hacking them." (IMDB)

The first episode is out, and it's brilliant. In terms of style, if I had to compare it, I'd say it's Dexter with computers. Instead of killing people, this dude hacks into their computers, so that he can learn more about them and the people they have contact with, and then he proceeds to scare off and/ or blackmail them in order to protect his 'loved' ones. Meanwhile, something bigger is happening.


As you see, I do watch a lot of shows, and these are the ones coming out in June! But it's the busiest month in terms of that. I will do another post like this in July and one in August. Those will be way shorter than this, rest assured.
