"Maxxx" | Premieres Wednesday, July 28, on Hulu
Plot: As a former boy-band singer stages his international comeback, he will stop at nothing to get back on top — even if it means losing all self-respect. Our Take: An opportunity to laugh along at O-T Fagbenle in man-child mode is a welcome brief respite before he returns in "The Handmaid's Tale" and makes me wish, yet again, that I lived in Canada. "Maxxx" doesn't have the most original premise around, but if you laugh every time you watch Popstar, here's your new summer show. ![]() |

"Warrior Nun" | Premieres Thursday, July 2, on Netflix
Plot: A 19 year-old woman wakes up in a morgue with a new lease on life and a divine artifact embedded in her back. She discovers she is now part of an ancient order that has been tasked with fighting demons on Earth, and powerful forces representing both heaven and hell want to find and control her. Our Take: "Warrior Nun" wasn’t on my radar when the action-packed trailer dropped in June, but it looks like it might fit the "Motherland: Fort Salem" sized hole in my viewing schedule. This series has just about everything I enjoy in a TV series: reluctant chosen ones, secret societies, demon fighting, women kicking ass, battles between Good and Evil for the fate of the world, so I’m all in. — Vanessa ![]() |

There is, as usual, a barrage of global shows coming in with various presentations but Indian shows are limited this month, however not unworthy. Let's rock and roll- ZEE5 Mafia When: 10th July Rather cliched on the lookout, but this series will explore six former college friends come together after for a reunion party as past relationships, hatred and betrayal became the centre of all things. The most notable face in this one is Namit Das. ![]() APPLE TV Little Voice When: 10th July Star Wars man and Emmy Award winner J.J. Abrams creates this coming-of-age drama starring Sara Bareilles which also has original music by her own self. This is one to watch out for.

The five-part documentary series shows the gripping story of high school football star Greg Kelley who was convicted of ***ual assault of a four-year-old boy, and sentenced to 25 years in prison with no possibility for parole. But a groundswell of support emerged for Kelley, calling into question the investigation, the prosecution’s tactics and ultimately, the validity of the conviction. ![]() SONY LIV Undekhi When: 10th July A fascinating crime thriller said to be inspired by real events, the show is directed by Ashish R. Shukla and stars some fine talents like Dibyendu Bhattacharya, Surya Sharma, and Harsh Chayya among others.

Avrodh stars Amit Sadh, Neeraj Kabi, Darshan Kumar, and others. Ram Singh Charlie When: TBD Actors like Kumud Mishra and Divya Dutta rarely getting leading roles to portray but this one has them in the forefront where the film is about a Charlie Chaplin impersonator who is forced to become a rickshaw driver after the circus where he used to perform shuts. ![]() DISNEY+ HOTSTAR Hamilton When: 3rd July Probably the most popular broadway presentations of all time, this mega play gets a digital release for the world to witness as Lin Manuel Miranda merges hip hop and history in an unforgettable live storytelling experience.

Just Mercy When: 21st July Having already garnered amazing reviews, it seems Michael B Jordan can do no wrong.
