The days are longer and the nights are shorter, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get cozy for summer’s best new television series. Each week, we try to break through the noise with TV watchers who can point us to the must-sees and steer us clear of the shows that maybe don’t live up to the hype. This week, we discuss with Jen Chaney, television critic for Vulture, and Liz Shannon Miller, senior entertainment editor at Consequence. 

Today’s shows include:
Orphan Black: Echoes (AMC/AMC+/BBC America)
Act Your Age (Netflix)
House of the Dragon (HBO/Max)
Slave Play. Not A Movie. A Play. (Max)  
Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution (PBS)
