3 great TV shows you should watch on Netflix this month

"Glow" — Netflix original, one season (season two available June 29)

"Glow" — Netflix original, one season (season two available June 29)

Netflix description: In 1980s LA, struggling actress Ruth and a scrappy group of women set out to conquer the airwaves as the all-female Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.

Critic score: 95%

Audience score: 88%

"Glow," based on the 1980s show "Gorgeous Female Ladies of Wrestling," is a fictionalized story of the casting and making of that show starring Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, and Marc Maron.

"Glow" debuted on Netflix in 2017, and debuts its excellent second season June 29. Set in 1980s LA without being to in-your-face about it, "Glow" is hilarious, heartfelt (but not in a cheesy way), and filled with complicated women from many backgrounds. It's charming, emotional, and works so well because its cast has incredible chemistry.

You can stream season one now, and catch season two at the end of the month.

"Queer Eye" — Netflix original, one season (season two available June 15)

"Queer Eye" — Netflix original, one season (season two available June 15)

Netflix description: It's the "Queer Eye" you know, but with five fresh new faces on a mission to make over Atlanta -- and challenge notions of what it means to "be a man."

Critic score: 96%

Audience score: 87%

In a world filled with reboot after reboot, Netflix's adorable, moving "Queer Eye" proved that this one was necessary. The new fab five represent a different era than the first cast, represent the diversity of our country, and in each episode they show so much care to the men they're making over. Set in Atlanta and small towns surrounding it, the fab five also aren't shy about confronting stereotypes and some contestants (called "heroes" on this show) who aren't exactly comfortable with homosexuality.

You can watch season one now, and season two is available on June 15.
