Metro's TV Editor Sabrina Barr has revealed her top five TV picks for July, highlighting a mix of Netflix and Disney Plus offerings. Among them is a new thriller that has already generated buzz.
Barr notes that with no weekly shows like Strictly or Bake Off, she relies on streaming recommendations. Her top choice is 'Too Much', a Netflix series created by Lena Dunham, starring Meg Stalter as a young American woman moving to the UK. The show's trailer sparked conversation due to a raunchy scene involving Will Sharpe's character.
Another pick is 'Untamed', featuring Eric Bana as a special agent investigating a death in Yosemite National Park. Bana, joined by Sam Neill, is described as an underrated actor deserving more attention.
Barr also recommends 'The Sandman' season 2 on Netflix, despite allegations against creator Neil Gaiman. She emphasises the work of the broader team behind the series, which continues to impress with its visual and philosophical depth.
Other mentions include 'Washington Black' on Disney Plus, starring Sterling K Brown, and 'Too Much' releasing all 10 episodes at once. Barr encourages viewers to sign up for Metro's TV newsletter for tailored updates.
