The end of May used to be a time when you could catch up on a few TV shows you might have missed during the first half of the year. But not anymore!

The lineup for Netflix’s “Top 10 TV Shows” features an intriguing selection of fresh documentaries — such as The Tylenol Murders and American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden — along with popular new series like Sirens, The Four Seasons, and She the People. These options promise to keep viewers engrossed and binging from the comfort of their couches. With so much available to stream, finding the time to watch can be a challenge.

As platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and HBO continue to unveil new content, many beloved network shows are on a break. For instance, over on ABC, Grey’s Anatomy is on its summer hiatus; however, Season 21 will become available on Netflix starting June 14. Meanwhile, CBS favorites such as Matlock and Fire Country won’t resume until the fall. Normally, new episodes of The Rookie air on Tuesday nights, but the show, starring Nathan Fillion, is currently on a prolonged pause.
