Missed out on June’s standout releases? Here are four shows you absolutely need to catch up on—your account will thank you later.
Must-watch of the month: Ginny & Georgia
Few series blend family drama and coming-of-age quite like Ginny & Georgia. Now in its third season, this heart-tugging drama follows 15-year-old Ginny Miller as she navigates high school life under the watchful eye of her dynamic, secret-laden mother, Georgia. I’ll admit, I found myself binge-watching on a rain-soaked evening, completely invested in their roller-coaster relationship. According to Netflix, the show maintains an impressively low drop-off rate, proving loyal fans keep coming back for more.
Top-rated pick: The Forgotten Files
If twisted mysteries are more your speed, The Forgotten Files will have you hooked from the first scene. Starring Matthew Goode as the sardonic Inspector Carl Morck, this British thriller adapts Jussi Adler-Olsen’s bestselling Department Q novels. With a stellar 4.1 out of 5 audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s the highest-rated newcomer of the month—and for good reason. A friend and I spent an entire Saturday untangling its darkly comic plot, and we couldn’t stop raving about its blend of black humour and nail-biting suspense.
Documentary of the month: Is There a Dealer on the Plane?
True-crime aficionados, take note: Is There a Dealer on the Plane? reconstructs the jaw-dropping 2013 cocaine bust of four French nationals in the Dominican Republic. Directors Jérôme Pierrat and Olivier Bouchara weave interviews with rare archival footage to ask tough questions about complicity and corruption. Netflix reports 4.2 million views in its first five days—making it the biggest French documentary launch on a Wednesday. It’s a sensational ride that leaves you questioning who really holds the pilot’s licence.
Hidden gem: A New Chapter in Seoul
For those craving romance with a twist, A New Chapter in Seoul delivers a heartfelt k-drama centred on identical twins who swap lives, rediscovering love and purpose in each other’s shoes. Bo-Young Park and Jinyoung Park share such authentic chemistry that viewers on MyDramaList have hailed it as one of the cutest series of the season. I found myself smiling through my commute, eagerly awaiting each Saturday’s new episode.
