Well, winter is officially here, although if you're in Melbourne like me, it seems it's been unofficially here for a couple of weeks now. Regardless, we're near the halfway point of the year, and so let's see what June has in offer for us on Stan.
A couple of new shows that could be big hits are coming to Stan in June. 'Perpetual Grace LTD' stars Sir Ben Kingsley and two Aussie stars in the form of Jacki Weaver and No Activity's Damon Herriman. This neo-noir thriller is set in New Mexico that sees a corrupt pastor and his wife trying to fleece his congregation out of their savings. But there's a twist! The couple's own son is teaming up with a grifter to do the same to his parents. You can stream the first episode on June 3, with new episodes coming every Monday.
Kevin Bacon's 'City On A Hill' also looks like it's going to be a winner. This gritty drama is set in corrupt Boston as an assistant district attorney teams up with a corrupt FBI agent to take down criminal gang, not knowing their actions will eventually lead to what's called the "Boston Miracle" and upend Boston’s citywide criminal justice system. The show counts Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as executive producers. The show premieres June 17, with new episodes arriving every Monday.
A couple of great shows are also returning for new seasons. The latest season of 'Younger' premieres June 13, as we catch up with Liza, Charles, Josh, and Kelsey is what has been dubbed this generation's Sex and the City (at least according to the Stan ads on TV). New episodes coming every Thursday.
And season 4 of the weird, wrong and extremely funny 'The Detour' premieres June 19, as the Parkers find themselves doing the chasing this time around. New episodes stream every Wednesday.
Not a huge line-up of must-see movies in June to be honest, but a couple do stand out.
'Suffragette' stars Carey Mulligan (and I maintain she's never been in a bad movie, although this one may be considered one by her standards), and as the name of the movie suggests, it's about suffragette movement of the early 20th century as the brave women fight for equality and the right to vote. Stream it starting June 5.
Everybody seems to hate Zach Braff, and while 'Wish I Was Here' (June 11) is nowhere near as good as 'Garden State', it's still worth a watch.
And finally, the documentary 'The Queen of Ireland' follows Ireland's most famous drag queen and self-styled accidental activist, as she becomes a figurehead in the fight for LGBT rights in Ireland and a vital part of the successful campaign for marriage equality. Stream it starting on June 9.
