Someone Great (Netflix)
You can thank Netflix's Someone Great for bringing Lizzo's "Truth Hurts" to the mainstream.
Other than its amazing soundtrack, the new romantic comedy starring Gina Rodriguez, Brittany Snow and DeWanda Wise is a perfect option for an early summer movie night.
After landing her dream job in San Francisco and breaking up with her longtime boyfriend, Jenny (Rodriguez) embarks on one final wild night with her best friends bringing big twists, great music and lots of fun. The film is currently available to stream on the platform.
prevnextWhat/If (Netflix)
Renée Zellweger's first TV project ever turned out to be the soap opera we never knew the streaming service could give us.
From the creator of ABC's Revenge, the first season of this anthology drama is equal parts Indecent Proposal and Days of Our Lives. With nonsensical monologues, lavish homes, psychopathic ex-boyfriends and murder coverups, the show is unapologetically soapy and not trying to be anything else.
Enjoy the 10-episode craziness, currently streaming Netflix.
prevnextThe Society (Netflix)
What do you get when you give Riverdale a bigger core mystery and less episodes? The Society's entrancing first season.
The teen drama series follows a group of teenagers who leave home for a school trip only to be brought back to the same town, but deserted and surrounded by endless woods. With no parents or authority figures, it is up to the teens to survive and figure out if they can ever go back to their old world.
The Society is available to stream on Netflix.
prevnextVida (Starz)
Viewers are used to the glamorous side of Los Angeles, but Starz's Vida is shining a spotlight on the diverse Eastside of the city of stars.
The half-hour drama follows two Mexican-American sisters Emma (Mishel Prada) and Lyn (Melissa Barrera), who are brought back together after years distance in order to take over control of their mother's building and bar at their old neighborhood.
With gentrification and their painful pasts in the way, the sisters must work together to keep the family's legacy alive.
The first two seasons of Vida are currently streaming on the Starz website, with Season 2 airing new episodes Sundays. The show has already been renewed for Season 3.
