Horror, adventure, fantasy, romance, animation – something for everyone…
Can you believe we’re already in June? Neither can we. And with entertainment, there’s so much going on that sometimes there’s almost too much choice for what to watch. In May, we saw a few fan favourites on Netflix – with Bridgerton-spin off Queen Charlotte and the docuseries on Anna Nicole Smith. We’re happy to say there’s a lot to look forward to this month too – here’s a rundown on the best to tune into in June.
