We're finally back in Westeros for "House of the Dragon" season 2. The first chapter dealt with the reign of King Viserys, charting the division of House Targaryen into two factions, the Greens and the Blacks. 

In season 2, the Seven Kingdoms will be swallowed up by their bloody civil war (the "Dance of the Dragons") between newly-crowned Aegon II and Queen Rhaenyra (Viserys' named heir) fully takes off. Expect power struggles, politicking, betrayal and more brutality as the series continues.

'My Adventures with Superman'

Watch On

"My Adventures with Superman" might not be what you're expecting from a series set in the DC Universe, as it's a far cry from the recent gritty versions of Superman. But don't be put off by the Man of Steel's sweeter nature; "My Adventures with Superman" is a great, anime-inspired animated series that's light on its feet, but still packs in the action.

The series throws us in with a twentysomething Superman who is still trying to build up his Clark Kent secret identity. He joins the Daily Planet's investigative team alongside fellow intern and photographer, Jimmy Olsen, and is swept along with reporter Lois Lane (whom he swiftly develops a big crush on) and thrown up against the many foes threatening Metropolis.

It’s no surprise to see the latest “Pretty Little Liars” spin-off in the top 10, given the season is coming to a close imminently (June 20th, if you’re reading this after the finale aired).

Following the events of “Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin”, this second season finds the new generation of Little Liars contending with a new challenge: summer school. Their grades have sipped, and they’ve got to take extra classes to try and make it to junior year. But while continuing their studies and taking up part-time jobs to keep them busy, the gang is also being stalked and tested by a terrifying new figure with a connection to ‘A’: Bloody Rose.

If it’s in the theaters or available to stream somewhere, he’s probably watched it… especially if it has a dragon in it. Before joining the team, he was a Staff Writer at What To Watch where he wrote about a broad range of shows that stretched from "Doctor Who" and "The Witcher" to "Bridgerton" and "Love Island". When he’s not watching the next must-see movie or show, he’s probably still in front of a screen playing massive RPGs, reading, spending a fortune on TCGs, or watching the NFL.
