What does summer mean to you? To some, it means a steamy seasonal romance or an opportunity to travel to other places.
For others, it’s just another season to watch some great shows on Netflix.
Whatever your summer preferences may be, Watch With Us has you covered with recommendations of fantastic Netflix shows you can stream right now.
Comedy, drama, romance and crime combine in these series that will turn up the heat on your summer viewing. Check out our recommendations below.
‘Ginny & Georgia’ (2023-Present)
A third season of Ginny & Georgia, the mother-daughter dramedy series that combines high school romance with cleverly concealed murders, is out on June 5. Still, whether you’re a returning fan or brand-new to the series, it’s the perfect summer binge.
Georgia Miller (Brianne Howey) is a single mom to acerbic and clever Ginny (Antonia Gentry) and shy, sweet Austin (Diesel La Torraca). A survivor of abuse with a sketchy past, she and her kids have always lived a nomadic lifestyle, never staying in one town too long. When they finally settle in Wellsbury, Massachusetts, they form relationships with the locals that change their lives — but their secrets start to catch up with them.
Ginny & Georgia is an addictively fun show, full of shocking twists, heartbreaking losses and moments of pure joy. Watch it while stressing over why your summer fling’s not texting you back.
‘Sirens’ (2025)
Netflix’s star-studded limited series features Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, Meghann Fahy (The White Lotus season 2) and Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) in a sexy, explosive dramedy about one chaotic weekend at a lavish beach estate. Devon (Fahy), worried about her younger sister Simone’s (Alcock) bizarrely close relationship with her billionaire boss Michaela (Moore), decides to stage an intervention — only to find that Michaela holds a nearly hypnotic power over everyone in her circle. Can Devon rescue Simone from the cult of the ultra-rich?
Sirens is a juicy and thrilling dark comedy that’s perfect for when you’re avoiding cleaning up after your fabulous summer barbecue.
If there’s one thing we can count on Netflix for, it’s a continuous supply of hit shows that dominate the streaming charts. For example, The Four Seasons debuted earlier in May, and it’s still maintaining a place among the most popular shows on Netflix. So much so that The Four Seasons is already lined up […]
‘The Four Seasons’ (2025-Present)
This comedy, created by Tina Fey, Lang Fisher (Never Have I Ever), and Tracey Wigfield (Good News), was initially conceived as a limited series, but it proved so popular that they’ve decided to bring it back for another season. Based on the 1981 movie of the same name, The Four Seasons follows three couples (Fey, Steve Carell, Will Forte, Colman Domingo, Kerri Kenney-Silver and Marco Calvani) who have a quarterly tradition of going on vacation together. When one duo splits up, it changes their dynamic forever.
The Four Seasons is funny and heartfelt, raising big questions about love, loss and friendship. Watch it when you find yourself looking at other people’s summer vacation Instagram Stories.
‘One Day’ (2024)
The second adaptation of a 2009 novel by David Nicholls, One Day succeeds where the movie version failed in telling the story of Emma Morley (Ambika Mod in the Netflix version) and Dexter Mayhew (Leo Woodall, who you might recognize from The White Lotus season 2). The two friends share an epic will-they-won’t-they relationship over 14 years. Each episode of the show checks in on them on one very special day — July 15, also known as the day they met.
Whether you’re in the mood for a bubbly reality TV series or a soapy yet heartwarming drama, Hallmark+ has a wide variety of series available for your perusal. Though Hallmark is best known for its films — after all, “Hallmark movie” has become shorthand for a lovably cheesy, romantic movie — Hallmark’s series have that […]
Mod and Woodall have impeccable chemistry throughout the series, and the drama and romance could penetrate even the most cynical of hearts. Watch it on July 15, of course. (Or any other day — it’s a joy at any time.)
‘Dept. Q’ (2025)
Dept. Q doesn’t have an obvious connection to summer, but its status as one of Netflix’s hottest shows earns it a spot on this list. The Scottish crime thriller is based on a book series by Danish writer Jussi Adler-Olsen and follows detective Carl Morck (Matthew Goode, The Crown) when he is tasked with setting up a new department to crack seemingly impossible cold cases. Scott Frank, creator of The Queen’s Gambit, oversees this series, which balances crime and personal stories with aplomb.
There’s something about watching talented actors play real-life criminals that can be endlessly entertaining. True crime series combine the best of reality with movie magic to create engrossing, disturbing stories that will keep you on the edge of your seat. And Netflix has some of the best true crime series in the business. Thank You! […]
Dept Q. hasn’t yet been renewed for a second season, but given its 83 percent Rotten Tomatoes score and popular status on Netflix, the odds look good. For fans of great ensemble dynamics, sharp writing and mind-bending mysteries, Dept Q is a great fit. Watch it when the heat’s getting to you and you wish you could retreat to a chilly pub in Edinburgh.
