Staycation selects: All the new shows worth staying in for this summer

Whether you’ve got a stacked social calendar this summer (you lucky bastard) or you’re looking at a hellishly humid few months stuck in work with no chance of a break, there are still some shows you won’t want to miss out on. Considering you can watch shows on your phone now, you could feasibly skip work and go enjoy these bad boys in the park or beach of your choice if you like. Or you can flip the bird at the outside world and stay inside where there’s aircon and an endless supply of cold beer. Either way, here’s our ranking of the eleven new shows you should be looking out for this summer.

11. Strange Angel

June 14, CBS

Created by Mark Heyman (Black Swan) and based on George Pendle’s book of the same name, Strange Angel is inspired by the true and storied life of Jack Parsons. The blue collar worker started out as a janitor, began the discipline of American rocketry, and even became a disciple of occultist Aleister Crowley. There’s a lot to unpack in his story and this Ridley Scott (Blade Runner) executive produced series looks to be doing it with intrigue and panache.
