OPINION: There's a ton to stream in June, including “For All Mankind,” “Only Murders in the Building,” “Ms. Marvel,” “The Umbrella Academy,” “The Boys” and “Evil.” Here are mmmmurf's picks for getting the most bang for your buck.
Summer used to be a time for TV viewers to take some time off, let their brains recharge and wait for their favorites to return in the fall. But no more.
As we’ve previously mentioned, consumers can take full advantage of cord-cutting though a churn-and-return strategy — that’s adding and dropping streaming services each month — and all it takes is good planning. Keep in mind that a billing cycle starts when you sign up, not necessarily at the beginning of a month. Also keep an eye out for lower-priced tiers, limited-time discounts, free trials and cost-saving bundles. There are a lot of offers out there, but the deals don’t last forever.
Then there are a pair of actual foreign-language dramas: “Borgen — Power & Glory” , a new season of the acclaimed Danish political drama that ran from 2010-’13, which finds former prime minister Birgitte now serving as Denmark’s foreign minister and dealing with an international crisis after oil is discovered in Greenland; and “Money Heist: Korea — Joint Economic Area” , a Korean reboot of the hit Spanish crime drama, about a gang of thieves who rob the mint of a newly reunified Korea.
Play, pause or stop? Play. “For All Mankind” is spectacular, the other new additions look solid and the library is growing. Then there’s “The Old Man” , a highly anticipated seven-episode thriller starring Jeff Bridges as a retired spy who must reconcile his complicated past while dodging assassins and being hunted by his former colleague . Announced in 2019, the show faced two lengthy production delays due to COVID-19 and then Bridges’ leukemia diagnosis. Amy Brenneman also co-stars in what should be a crackling action series.
Play, pause or stop? Pause and think it over. On one hand, “Fire Island” and “The Old Man” look watchable, but on the other, “Only Murders in the Building” doesn’t premiere until the end of the month, perhaps making a subscription that starts in July, and playing catch-up, more cost-effective. Paramount+ also has the animated special “South Park: The Streaming Wars” ; “Jerry & Marge Go Large” , a movie starring Brian Cranston and Annette Benning as a couple who cash in on a loophole in the lottery system; the Tony Awards ; and live sports including PGA Tour golf and WNBA basketball.
HBO Max It sounds weird to say, but HBO Max look very skippable in June. Typically stuffed with Grade-A shows, Max appears to be taking a breather after the ridiculous slate of shows that have premiered in the past few months. The comedy “Rutherford Falls” returns for its second season, starring Jana Schmieding and Ed Helms as unlikely best friends trying to help a small town adapt to changes spurred by a tribal casino. Michael Greyeyes stole the show in Season 1 as the casino’s intense CEO, and the diverse series — which features six Native American writers — offered some thoughtful new perspectives to sitcom tropes, though was hit-and-miss when it came to laughs.
