But if you aren\u2019t yet, now is the time to start watching. Starring Matthew Rhys (\u201cThe Americans\u201d), the show is set on a charming island that just so happens to be cursed. It\u2019s original, funny, and nails the balance of laughs and scares.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s got a stamp of approval from genre king Guillermo del Toro, who wrote on X: \u201c#WidowsBay may very well be the best streaming series in a long time\u2026 and hands down one of the most mesmerizing acts of narrative prestidigitation in Horror.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Where to watch: AppleTV+.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Alfred Molina (pictured) stars in \u201cThe Boroughs\u201d from the Duffer Brothers.  <span class=\"credit\">COURTESY OF NETFLIX<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Molina (pictured in \u201cThe Borroughs\u201d) stars as a member of a retirement community who gets ensnared in a sci-fi plot.  <span class=\"credit\">\u00a9Netflix\/Courtesy Everett Collection<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Produced by The Duffer Brothers (from \u201cStranger Things\u201d), this is a sci-fi adventure with boomer characters. Starring Alfred Molina, Bill Pullman, Alfre Woodard, and Geena Davis \u2013 in a rare TV appearance \u2013 the story follows members of a retirement community as they must step up to the plate to be unlikely heroes against a sci-fi threat. <\/p>\n<p>Like \u201cStranger Things,\u201d there are plenty of creatures and mysteries. The plot is a bit shaggy and meandering, but it\u2019s still fun.\u00a0Although the show seems reasonably popular, it also got lost in the shuffle of other early-summer releases.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Where to watch: Netflix.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Belmont Cameli (pictured in \u201cOff Campus\u201d) stars in the latest hockey romance hit.  <span class=\"credit\">Liane Hentscher\/Prime<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>\u201cOff Campus\u201d (pictured with Ella Bright and Cameli) is charming, warm, and fun.  <span class=\"credit\">Liane Hentscher\/Prime<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This hockey romance has been a hit, so you may have already seen it a time or two.

Of course, fake feelings turn real. It\u2019s a lighthearted frothy college story, but it also deftly handles Hannah and Garrett both having significant trauma in their lives.\u00a0It\u2019s already been renewed for a Season 2, which will follow their more free-spirited friends, Dean (Stephen Kalyn) and Allie (Mika Abdalla). <\/p>\n<p>Where to watch: Prime Video.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Tatiana Maslany (pictured in \u201cMaximum Pleasure Guaranteed\u201d) stars in the wild dark comedy crime show.  <span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Tatiana Maslany (pictured in in \u201cMaximum Pleasure Guaranteed,\u201d) plays a frazzled mom who gets involved in a blackmail \/ murder plot.  <span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This dark crime comedy is wild, funny, and suspenseful.

Elizabeth, Darcy, and the famous characters from the well-known story are on the margins of this plot, while side character Mary (Ella Bruccoleri) takes center stage. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a well-done period piece, a show where the shy academic girl gets ensnared in a love triangle.
