TV Worth Watching

"Game of Thrones" (Sunday on HBO at 9 p.m.)
Can you believe we're already at the end of Season 6? Seven hells. Ten episodes is not enough, and the next two seasons are reportedly even shorter. At any rate, HBO will follow Episode 9's epic "Battle of the Bastards" with a finale called "The Winds of Winter," written by showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss and directed by Miguel Sapochnik. The Sunday, June 26 title is also the title of the upcoming sixth book in author George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. The Episode 10 synopsis teases, "Cersei faces her trial," but there will surely be more than that. Much more. And yet never enough.

"Queen of the South" (Tuesday on USA at 10 p.m.)
Teresa Mendoza (Alice Braga) goes from living in a barrio in Mexico to starting her own drug empire, becoming one of the wealthiest women in the world, in this drama adapted from the popular telenovela "La Reina del Sur." Season 1 will feature 13 episodes, starting June 23.

"Pretty Little Liars" (Tuesday on Freeform at 8 p.m.)
PLL is back for 20 more episodes in Season 7 -- 10 to air this summer, and 10 in the winter of 2017. The Season 7 premiere, "Tick-Tock, Bitches," was written by showrunner I. Marlene King, and premieres after an all-day PLL marathon from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on June 21. Here's the first ep synopsis: "After Hanna's shocking abduction by 'Uber A,' the PLLs and company desperately race against the clock to save one of their own. The only way to do this is by handing over evidence of Charlotte's real murderer to 'Uber A.' In order to do so, the girls must decide what blatant lines they are willing to cross that they have never breached before; and once they cross that line, there is no turning back."

"Big Brother" (Wednesday on CBS at 8 p.m.)
The most horribly addictive show of the summer returns for Season 18 on June 22. So far, 12 houseguests have been revealed -- including Paulie, brother of BB16's Cody Calafiore, and Tiffany, sister of BB17's Vanessa Rousso -- but we're expecting four returnees (Nicole, Frank, James, Da'Vonne) to be announced as well. The Battle of the Block is dead (thank heaven!) however a new competition will take its place to keep the stakes high in the Sunday shows. You can get to know the newbies in the CBS cast bios, but we're staying loyal to Nicole.

"BattleBots" (Thursday on ABC at 8 p.m.)
The bots are back! ABC's second season of the competition series starts June 23 with "Robots Activate: Qualifying Round Begins." Prepare yourself for "next generation robots — bigger, faster and stronger than ever before. The show will focus on the design and build of each robot, the bot builder backstories, their intense pursuit of the championship and the spectacle of the event."


New on Netflix

"The Fundamentals of Caring"
Paul Rudd, Selena Gomez, and Craig Roberts star in this Netflix Original film, based on the novel by Jonathan Evison, available June 24. Here's the official synopsis from Netflix: "'The Fundamentals of Caring' follows Ben, a retired writer who becomes a caregiver after suffering a personal tragedy. After 6 weeks of training, Ben meets his first client, Trevor, a foul-mouthed 18-year-old with muscular dystrophy. One paralyzed emotionally, one paralyzed physically, Ben and Trevor take an impromptu road trip to all the places Trevor has become obsessed with while watching the local news, including their holy grail: the World's Deepest Pit. Along the way, they pick up a sassy runaway and a mother-to-be who help test the pair's survival skills outside of their calculated existence as they come to understand the importance of hope and true friendship."

Check out the trailer:

"Dragons: Race to the Edge" Season 3
The third season of this fun, family friendly Netflix original series from the creators of "How to Train Your Dragon" is available June 24.

"Life Story" Series 1
"The Making of 'Life Story'"
This six-part British natural history TV series, introduced and narrated by David Attenborough, follows the challenges of animals at different stages in their lives. It's out June 20, along with the making-of feature, revealing how the team spent 1,900 days filming the series in 29 countries across six continents, creating 1,800 hours of footage. Whew!

"Spotlight"
The reigning 2015 Best Picture Oscar winner -- starring Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams, and Liev Schreiber -- follows the Boston Globe's Pulitzer Prize-winning Spotlight team as they uncover longterm abuses by Catholic priests. It's out on Netflix June 22, and most definitely worth watching.
