Summer 2022 Streaming Watch List
It’s summertime and the perfect time of year to go on vacation or to just get out and about to the beach or the pool. But on those days when it’s just too hot outside, or for the nights you want to stay in, kick back with your favorite streaming service and enjoy some great shows.
For the month of July 2022, I am providing a list of a few older shows, and some newly returned shows to indulge in and binge-watch this month.
Here’s What to Watch This Summer
Stranger Things
When a young boy disappears, his mother, a police chief, and his friends must confront terrifying supernatural forces in order to get him back. - IMDB
Season 4 of Stranger Things just premiered this summer on Netflix. It’s dark, it’s nostalgic, and it’s fun. Watch all seasons 4 now and get caught up on the upside down.
Westworld
At the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, waits a world in which every human appetite can be indulged without consequence. - IMDB
Westworld is a little bit of everything. It’s a mix of sci-fi, action, and mystery all packed into this beautifully shot show. New episodes of season 4 of Westworld are currently airing on HBO on Sunday nights. You can catch up on all prior seasons on HBO Max.
Anatomy of a Scandal
A sexual consent scandal amongst British privileged elite and the women caught up in its wake. - IMDB
This is a great limited series, that has a nice twist at the end. It’s the perfect binge show for a lazy Saturday, and it will leave thinking about people and perceptions. Available now on Netflix.
The Staircase
Tells the story of Michael Peterson, a crime novelist accused of killing his wife Kathleen after she is found dead at the bottom of a staircase in their home, and the 16-year judicial battle that followed. - IMDB
I originally learned of this story a few years after watching the Netflix documentary. This current production is a HBO limited series, with an all star cast. Very interesting, true crime story that leaves you asking yourself if you believe in coincidence.
The Gilded Age
A wide-eyed young scion of a conservative family embarks on a mission to infiltrate the wealthy neighboring clan dominated by ruthless railroad tycoon George Russell, his rakish son, Larry, and his ambitious wife, Bertha. - IMDB
I absolutely loved The Gilded Age and cannot wait to see where the story ultimately goes. If you love period pieces, costumes, and great drama, you will love this show. Season 1 is currently available on HBO Max.
Slow Horse
Follows a team of British intelligence agents who serve as a dumping ground department of MI5 due to their career-ending mistakes. -IMDB
Slow Horse is for the viewer who loves a spy drama. The cast is great, and the story is intriguing. Reminds me of the first Mission Impossible. I recommend it. Watch now on Apple TV.
Persuasion
Eight years after Anne Elliot was persuaded not to marry a dashing man of humble origins, they meet again. Will she seize her second chance at true love? -IMDB
Persuasion premieres on Netflix on July 15th. This is for the Jane Austen lovers, who love the yearn and burn romances.
The Boys
A group of vigilantes set out to take down corrupt superheroes who abuse their superpowers. - IMDB
The Boys is violent, vulgar, offensive, and deliciously fun and entertaining to watch. It is not for everyone, but these superheroes give a different take on how a world full of people with superpowers might be. Season 4 just premiered on Amazon Prime Video. Watch all 4 seasons now on Amazon.
Shining Girls
Years after a brutal attack left her in a constantly shifting reality, Kirby Mazrachi learns that a recent murder is linked to her assault. She teams with a veteran reporter to understand her ever-changing present and confront her past. - IMDB
This series is a mystery, crime, and sci-fi all wrapped into one. The show and the acting are great. I highly recommend it. Watch now on Apple TV.
The Umbrella Academy
A family of former child heroes, now grown apart, must reunite to continue to protect the world. -IMDB
Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy just premiered on Netflix. Season 3 is just as fun and silly as ever, with a new problem for the group to resolve. All seasons are now streaming on Netflix
I’m a multi-tasker so I love to pop on a good show and fold laundry, stretch, or just walk on my treadmill. I hope you enjoy my recommendations and have a great summer!
