Summer TV Starts Strong With These June Premieres
Critic Eric Deggans has a preview of all the good TV coming out in June, from a returning British cop drama (Broadchurch) to a show about the sports world's weirdest televised product (GLOW).
If it seems like there's an explosion of TV coming at you this summer, that's because there is. And it's a trend that's been building for quite a while.
Back in the day — say five or 10 years ago — summer was a time of experimentation and slowing down. Network TV aired shows that would keep the lights on while reserving its best stuff for the fall, and cable TV took advantage by debuting more new shows as an alternative.
These days, that playbook has blown up — at least a little bit. There are dozens of new and returning shows rolling out this summer on the networks, cable and streaming, and the major projects on deck are big as anything on TV — from the beginning of the end of to Netflix's superhero super group .
