2) “Too Much” (Watch on Netflix)
Lena Dunham returns with “Too Much”, a messy, romantic, and darkly funny 10-episode dramedy that’s equal parts heartbreak and hilarity. Meg Stalter stars as Jessica, a burned-out New Yorker who ditches her chaotic life for a quiet reset in London—until she meets Felix, played by Will Sharpe, and everything spirals again. Their unpredictable relationship becomes the heart of the show, full of culture clashes, emotional chaos, and brutally honest moments that feel all too real.
The show’s raw, stylish vibe is heightened by Dunham’s writing, original music by co-creator Luis Felber, and a stacked cast that includes Naomi Watts, Emily Ratajkowski, and Jessica Alba. It’s sharp, it’s unhinged, and it captures the weird, wonderful mess of trying to start over in a city that doesn’t wait. All 10 episodes are now streaming on Netflix—this one’s got all the makings of a summer obsession.
3) “Building the Band” (Watch on Netflix)
“Building the Band” flips the traditional music competition on its head by asking strangers to form a band—without ever seeing each other. Hosted by AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys, the show begins with blind auditions where singers choose potential bandmates based solely on voice and vibe. Once the lineups are locked, the big reveal happens, and the real work begins.
With mentorship from pop powerhouses like Kelly Rowland, Nicole Scherzinger, and the late Liam Payne, these fresh groups face off in a high-stakes battle for music industry glory. It’s not just about vocals—teamwork, performance skills, and chemistry take center stage as the newly formed bands fight to stand out. With all the emotion of “The Voice” and the drama of “Making the Band”, this is a reality series you’ll want to binge start to finish.
4) “Foundation” (Watch on Apple TV+)
The epic sci-fi saga “Foundation” returns for its third season, and the galaxy has never been more unstable. Based on Isaac Asimov’s iconic novels, the series continues its sprawling story of rebellion, prophecy, and power struggles across time and space. With one episode dropping each week until September 12, fans can expect a slow-burn thrill ride filled with political intrigue, mind-bending technology, and high-stakes drama.
Lee Pace returns as the unpredictable Brother Day, and Jared Harris continues to lead the charge as Hari Seldon, whose vision for humanity’s survival faces new threats. Visually stunning and intellectually dense, “Foundation” blends big ideas with cinematic spectacle in a way few shows dare to try. If you’re craving something bold, brainy, and beautifully crafted, “Foundation” should be at the top of your watchlist.
5) “Madea’s Destination Wedding”
Tyler Perry’s Madea is back—and this time, she’s bringing the chaos to the Bahamas in “Madea’s Destination Wedding”. When her grandniece announces she’s marrying a rapper she just met on a yacht, Madea crashes the whirlwind nuptials with her usual mix of tough love, sharp one-liners, and hilarious meddling. Set against a sun-soaked tropical backdrop, the film marks 20 years of the iconic Madea franchise with big laughs and even bigger heart.
Perry leads a cast of fan-favorite characters, from Aunt Bam to Mr. Brown, in a family vacation that quickly goes off the rails. As always, Madea delivers the comedy—but also some real talk about trust, love, and what makes a marriage last. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or new to the madness, this is one summer wedding you won’t want to miss.
6) “Superman” (Watch in Theaters)
