Top TV Shows This Summer


This Summers Can’t Miss TV Shows

In the summer, television shows usually take a break while families spend more time outside rather than in front of the television. However, many shows have made their summer return or premier and we have a put together a list of TV shows you just can’t miss!

1.       The Bridge

Demian Bichir stars in the role of “Marco Ruiz,” a homicide investigator for the state of Chihuahua, Mexico living in Ciudad Juarez. A family man, Marco is one of the last good men in a corrupt and apathetic police force that is out-gunned by the powerful drug cartels. He’s sharp, charming, and observant and painfully aware that his city is in a state of chaos. When a body is dumped on the bridge that spans the El Paso-Ciudad Juarez border, Ruiz is forced to work with his American counterpart, “Detective Sonya North.”

5.       Catfish: The TV Show

How do young people who’ve embraced the digital age find love? Often, it’s by connecting online with people they’ve never met in person. These days, messaging on iPhones has replaced the dinner date, and emailing through social media sites often substitutes for face-to-face conversations. The problem with this approach – the guy or girl you’ve fallen for could be lying about who they really are. This MTV series brings together couples who’ve interacted solely through their LCD screens. Over the course of months or even years – these romantics have become smitten-but what will happen when they meet in real life for the first time?
