What to Watch this Summer

The heat is rising and the days are long. Time to head inside to watch television in that glorious thing we call air conditioning! If you're looking for something to watch this summer, pair one of the hits below with an ice cold margarita and live it up while you can. It'll be back to cop shows and serial dramas before we know it.

True Blood

This one's obvious - it's the final season! It's bound to be epic. Our Bon Temps friends are facing serious hardship with these diseased vamps laying waste to the area. And what is going on with Eric!?! Will everyone make it to the series finale? Will we see any old familiar faces? I'm not-so-secretly hoping for the heroic return of Hoyt. Hijack your best friend's HBOGo password or watch in realtime Sunday nights.

Suits

I've talked about my love for Suits before, and it's back in a big way. Mike is on the other side of the deposition table these days, so who knows what is going to happen. We do know, however, that there will be handsome young men in tailored suits spouting witty dialogue left and right. Plus, Donna is BOSS. Suits is on USA on Wednesday nights.

Orphan Black

I'm including Orphan Black on the list even though there's only one episode left. Orphan Black follows the intersecting lives of mysterious clones and the scientists who are oh so invested in them. You may think that Helena's the one with the most issues, but I contend my gal Alison could give her a run for her money. The season two finale airs this Saturday on BBC America, so get on that.

Beauty and the Beast

The CW renewed Beauty and the Beast despite low ratings because fans are diehard and light up social media during airtime. The low ratings are a mystery to me, because I'm hooked on this one. BATB is especially great right now because the show's getting back to the dynamics that worked so well in season one: Vincent on the run, Kat's job in a lurch, Gabe being his evil self - even Kat's sister jumped back in the mix. See what the fuss is about on the CW, Monday nights.

So, what will you be watching this summer?
