Every month, we’ll tell you about new television shows to hit terrestrial and cable channels, as well as streaming sites in Singapore! We’ll also highlight shows that you’ve got to be home (or on your phone) to catch every month.
What to catch this July?
Netflix has a lot of original content for you, so if you’re a binge watcher, you’ll be fully occupied in July! The shows this month are quirkier than usual, especially the Asian films and drama series. If you were a “Lost” fan then “Stranger Things” is a must watch. It’s a good time for Asian content!
Bring It On, Ghost (Viu, 12 July)
Hyun Ji is a wandering ghost who died when she was 19-year-old. One day she meets an exorcist named Bong Pal. They team up to listen and solve the problems of various ghosts so that they can rest peacefully.
“Bring It On, Ghost” is a remake of the webtoon of the same title. That means that it was so popular that it made the leap from animation to a live action drama! It already hints at comedy and a possible romance between Hyun Ji and Bong Pal. It’s an interesting break from the usual sappy Korean dramas, with elements of adventure, comedy, and fantasy to spice up the usual love story. It might still end with the protagonists falling in love, but at least the obstacles aren’t as trite as the ones a Special Forces captain and a doctor might face!
Stranger Things (Netflix, 15 July)
A love letter to the supernatural classics of the 80’s, Stranger Things is the story of a young boy who vanishes into thin air. As friends, family and local police search for answers, they are drawn into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl.
It’s like “Lost” meets “Twin Peaks” in this horror mystery series that has inexplicable disappearances and weird occurrences everywhere! Since it’s a Netflix series, here’s to hoping it has a better ending than “Lost” and resolves all the mysteries satisfactorily. It also stars Winona Ryder, if you’ve been wondering what she’s up to!
BoJack Horseman (Netflix, 22 July)
What is success? Can two people ever truly connect? Why is Mr. Peanutbutter so annoying? BoJack Horseman tackles life’s big questions. Season 3 of the critically acclaimed drama premieres 22 July, only on Netflix.
It’s an offbeat animated comedy that finds its niche in being, well offbeat. And it’s already into its third season! If you haven’t caught this show about anthropomorphic deadbeat animals, then it’s time that you give it a try.
