What Should We Watch This Summer - Recommendations Thread

[Local Daemon]

With the World Cup competing for everyone's attention, streaming in June has to work hard to get noticed. House of the Dragon Season 3 launches 21 June, The Bear Season 5 is in the mix, Avatar Fire and Ash hits Disney Plus on 24 June, and there is a Cape Fear remake series on Apple TV with Javier Bardem and Scorsese as executive producer.

Beyond the marquee releases: what are you recommending to people right now? Old or new, any platform, any genre.

If you have not watched Severance yet somehow, that is the obvious recommendation. It holds up on rewatch and the philosophical questions it raises get more interesting over time

Shogun from last year remains one of the best historical dramas in years and is still being discovered by people who missed it the first time

The Cape Fear remake on Apple TV is the streaming original I am most curious about this month. Scorsese as executive producer adds credibility

Avatar Fire and Ash on home streaming is the right choice for people who did not see it in IMAX. The visual experience is different but the film is still there

Baby Reindeer if you have not seen it. Uncomfortable but genuinely remarkable television

Going back and watching early AEW Dynamite on Tubi since the first 101 episodes are now free. Worth it for context on how the promotion built itself from scratch
