Brats (Hulu)
You know you’re a card-carrying AARP member when you can identify members of the Rat Pack and the Brat Pack, the mid-1980s inheritors of the modified mantle. But did they want it? Brat Packer Andrew McCarthy, 61, who pivoted from acting to travel writing, grabs the camera and checks in with his fellow Brats to review the evidence. The result is a nostalgia-fueled visit with the kids who brought you St. Elmo’s Fire and The Breakfast Club, among other generational touchstones: Demi Moore, 61, Rob Lowe, 60, Emilio Estevez, 62, Molly Ringwald, 56, Ally Sheedy, 61, Timothy Hutton, 63, Lea Thompson, 63 (who claims to be Brat Pack adjacent), and Jon Cryer, 59, who says he wasn’t a Brat Packer at all. Don’t you forget about them!
Watch it: Brats, June 13 on Hulu

Bridgerton, Season 3, Part 2 (Netflix)
We know you binged Part 1 of everyone’s Regency-era guilty pleasure. Thank goodness Part 2 arrives this week, so we can find out what happens next for Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan)? Will the dowager Violet find love again? Will we have to wait this long again for Season 4? You’ll have to tune in to find out.
Watch it: Bridgerton, Season 3, Part 2, June 13 on Netflix
Hannah Einbinder: Everything Must Go (Max)
Part of the magic of Hacks, the sharp-as-a-stiletto comedy/drama featuring the fabulous Jean Smart, 72, is the chemistry with her Emmy-nominated young costar, Hannah Einbinder. The joke within a joke is that Einbinder is the comic in real life — she was the youngest comedian to perform a stand-up set on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in her national TV debut in 2020. Her gently absurdist humor takes center stage in her first comedy special, a Max Original. You know Deborah will be watching … and giving notes!
Watch it: Hannah Einbinder: Everything Must Go, June 13 on Max
Alone, Season 11 (History)
Here’s a reality TV show for grownups, in which the drama is genuine and the setting — the wilderness north of the arctic circle — is riveting and ominous. This under-the-radar series, in its 11th season, pares away the backstabbing politics of Survivor to yield a more truthful, occasionally grim, deeply instructive look at 10 seasonal contestants who must survive completely alone in deep wilderness with scant supplies, plus a camera to capture the experience. Whoever lasts the longest wins a grand prize of $1 million. Contestants can tap out by choice or be pulled if they fail required medical check-ins. The psychology is intense, the strategies fascinating.
Watch it: Alone, June 13, 9 p.m. ET (streaming next day) on History

Grantchester, Season 9 (Masterpiece on PBS)
Get your British mystery summer binge started with a dramatic twist in this marvelous Masterpiece series featuring the crime-solving odd couple of handsome Rev.

This season, Will considers an offer to leave Grantchester and a new vicar (Rishi Nair) is recruited into investigating the disappearance of a circus performer.
Watch it: Grantchester, June 16, 9 p.m. ET, on Masterpiece on PBS

It’s fantasy game-on for the bleach-blond Targaryens (featuring Emma D’Arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and The Crown’s Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen) who are back at it in their battle for the throne. Summer just got a whole lot hotter.

Slave Play. Not a Movie. A Play. (Max)
Playwright Jeremy O. Harris’ 2018 Slave Play captivated Broadway audiences and critics alike with its Tony-nominated tackling of race, sex and interracial relationships in a way never before seen on stage. Go behind the curtain to watch Harris workshop the play with new actors and mine even more meaning in this HBO Original documentary, which Harris also directs. It’s a look into the creative process from one of our most inventive creators.

Oppenheimer (R, 2023)
Christopher Nolan’s epic biopic about the man who led the Manhattan Project, which created the first atomic bomb, won seven Oscars this year, including best picture. After an exclusive streaming run on Peacock, the film heads to Prime, where it’s likely to pick up even more viewers. The three-hour epic is worth seeing, an absorbing look at a fascinating man who continued to make history after World War II as he sought to limit the use of the weapon he worked so hard to create.
