It's officially the season for TV binging. Gone is homework, the ability to enjoy cool weather, and lets be honest most responsibility that holds us down during the colder months. So sit back in your beautifully air-conditioned palace, grab a bowl of popcorn, and enjoy some of the best chill summer shows with that freshly chilled glass of rosé in hand.
Bachelor in Paradise
If you haven't been keeping up with this season of the Bachelorette, there's still time. And if not? Starting August 5th you can dive into paradise with a fresh start, just like the rest of the new cast (ha they wish) for Season 6! The overly predictable and slightly scripted series is a weekly must-watch with a crowd, it only adds to the humor of the whole thing. My biggest hope honestly is for the return of beloved Jorge. The bar isn't quite the same without his wise advice for the cast. But what will these 20-something gorgeous and well-dressed influencers do if love fails them once again? Definitely not get the wedding of their dreams before 30. Such a disappointment. In my opinion this show is always much more captivating than any of the Bachelor/Bachelorette seasons, with so many twists and love triangles (or squares, or pentagons, etc.) so if ABC hasn't disappointed you before, I promise they won't now. Who knows, maybe this season Chris Harrison himself will take a dive into paradise searching for love! Only time will tell.
Big Little Lies
Winter may have came, and gone, but all of you Game of Thrones moochers don't throw away your friends HBO password yet! Season 2 of Big Little Lies is officially HERE! The drama, lies, and controversy are back, along with the wild personalities and rollercoaster-esque storyline. The only issue is, much like the infamous GOT crowd, you have to be all in for an HBO subscription in order to catch up. Or, take a break from binging television and pick up the book! I can honestly say I finished it in 36 hours, and it was one of the best summer reads my mind has ever followed. That oughta catch you up to live time just in time for the new summer twists! Never mind the stellar cast, this thriller will be sure to keep you on your toes, while at the same time not throwing too many jump scares and Pretty Little Liars creepiness. You will be captivated, and you will still be able to sleep at night. Most definitely my top pick for this summer.
Pose
Out of all the shows on this summer's list, this is the one I have the least knowledge about. But if all the social media hype turns out to be right, it's gotta be top of the list! If you are looking for a more risqué, bold, and moving show to binge on this summer, take a chance and check out season 2 which just started up. It is promising nothing short of spectacular, coming back "better, bigger, and more fabulous than ever"!
America's Got Talent
If you ask me, the era for live talent TV shows has come and gone. American Idol, X Factor, and even the Voice, are just not as exciting as they once were. Maybe it's an overcrowding in the market or maybe it's a lack of superstars coming out of them nowadays. America's Got Talent, however, provides some sense of freshness. Since not all of the acts on the show are musical talents there is definitely room to be amazed and terrified all at once. Also, the fact that there is no age limit on acts or really any boundaries as to what could happen - live. Whether you keep up week by week or just throw it on to catch something entertaining, it never fails to at least make you feel something - how could it not with Simon Cowell as a judge?
Grand Hotel
For all of my fellow Jane the Virgin lovers, prepare yourself. Just by the preview of this new TV show I am getting season 1 Marbella-level murder chills. This dramatic new series has pretty much everything you'd expect out of a classic Telenovela. Attractive cast, luxurious penthouses, love, lust, secrets, and of course, murder. Although I have not gotten deep enough to fully review this show I can tell you upfront that even the cast already mirrors the likes of Rafael, Xio, and Luisa. Only time will tell how this show grows, but let's hope for their sake that no one gets artificially inseminated.
