It's a big week on Netflix. While true crime fans are glued to Michael Jackson: The Verdict and the Duffer Brothers' latest hit The Boroughs continues to dominate, sometimes you just want to settle into a great binge-worthy series. Whether you're in the mood for laughs, tears, or a little bit of both, we've got you covered. Here are three shows you should absolutely start streaming on Netflix this June 8.
1. 'Shrill' (2019–2021)
Rotten Tomatoes: 88% | IMDb: 7.4/10
If you missed this gem the first time around, now is the perfect moment to discover Shrill. Created by Aidy Bryant, Alexandra Rushfield, and Lindy West, this comedy-drama follows Annie (Bryant), a plus-sized journalist in Portland who decides to stop trying to change her body and start changing her life instead. It's a funny, sharp, and deeply moving series that tackles body image, ambition, and self-acceptance with a rare honesty.
Based on West's memoir Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman, the show ran for three acclaimed seasons and earned Bryant a Primetime Emmy nomination. Its message feels just as urgent today as it did in 2019. For more hidden treasures, check out our list of Paul Rudd's Netflix sci-fi 'Living With Yourself', another underrated comedy worth your time.
2. 'Resident Alien' (2021–2025)
Rotten Tomatoes: 98% | IMDb: 8.0/10
A 98% Rotten Tomatoes score doesn't lie. Resident Alien is a hilarious, heartwarming sci-fi comedy that follows an alien (Alan Tudyk) sent to destroy Earth. After crash-landing, he assumes the identity of a small-town doctor named Harry and, to his own surprise, starts to fall in love with humanity. The show blends sharp comedy, genuine emotion, and just the right amount of alien weirdness.
Originally airing on SyFy, the series moved to Netflix, and the long-awaited fourth and final season just dropped in full last weekend. That means all 44 episodes are now available for a perfect binge. If you're a fan of grounded sci-fi with a big heart, this is your show.

3. 'Grey's Anatomy' (2005–Present)
Rotten Tomatoes: 84% | IMDb: 7.6/10
Sometimes you just need a classic. Grey's Anatomy is arguably the most famous medical drama of all time, and with its 22nd season wrapping up on May 7, there's no better time to start from the beginning. Follow Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and a new batch of interns as they navigate the chaos, romance, and high-stakes drama of Seattle's Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.
With 466 episodes (and counting), this is a binge that will keep you busy for weeks. It's a quintessential network procedural that balances tear-jerking moments with plenty of laughs and unforgettable characters. For another long-running binge, check out Supergirl's Arrowverse series, another epic saga worth diving into.
So grab your remote, get comfortable, and start streaming. Whether you're in the mood for a heartfelt comedy, a quirky alien adventure, or a medical drama that defined a generation, Netflix has you covered this week.
