It’s the final day of May, bringing an end to one of the roughest months in recent history. Cities and businesses are reopening despite the continued COVID-19 pandemic. Protesters are taking to the streets to demand justice for systemic racism and police brutality. Elected officials are setting curfews and bringing in the National Guard.
If you’re not scared and anxious right now, you probably haven’t been paying attention. As we continue to isolate from friends and family, self-care is now more important than ever. And for many of us pop culture junkies, that means hunkering down on the couch and streaming our worries away.
Now I’m not saying that watching television will cure the world’s ills, but if it provides you with some distraction and entertainment for a few hours, well, that’s something to be grateful for. Here’s what’s coming to Netflix in June, including our top picks for the month:
