First of all, I do apologize for not having May Streaming Picks out. To be honest, it slipped from my mind for some reason and I didn’t think about it until halfway last month, and at that point, I just didn’t think it would have been necessary.
Still though, it is the month of June now and that means summer is right around the corner, and it also means it’s going to be a great time for some summer TV binging.
