But the BBC-owned Anglophile streaming service has much more to offer. To wit: among the very best new TV shows I encountered in June are BritBox titles about the fascinating Mitford sisters and an older gentleman living a closeted double life. Also worth watching this month are a frothy Bravo debut, a speculative drama about the end of Denmark, and a golf comedy starring Owen Wilson. ## _Families Like Ours_ (Netflix) What if your government made the calm, rational decision that your country must cease to exist, then set about shutting it down in stages, as the currency became worthless and the population scrambled to emigrate? This is the terrifying thought experiment that propels the Danish drama _Families Like Ours_, which opens with the news that Denmark will be slowly but permanently evacuated before rising waters can swallow the small, low-lying nation. It’s a premise that might seem to lend itself to dystopian sci-fi, but, as the title suggests, creator Thomas Vinterberg—a superstar of Danish cinema best known in the U.S. as the director of [_Another Round_](https://time.com/5947965/another-round-review/), [_Far From the Madding Crowd_](https://time.com/3849970/review-far-from-the-madding-crowd/), and _The Hunt_—filters the cataclysm through the sieve of family drama. Amid the panic, we meet teenage Laura (Amaryllis April Maltha August), who’s just falling for a classmate (Albert Rudbeck Lindhardt) bound for Finland as she sets her sights on the Sorbonne. While her architect father (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) makes plans to work in Paris, his ex, Laura’s mom (Paprika Steen)—a science journalist who is on public assistance following an extremely understandable nervous breakdown—must face the prospect of living dorm-style in Bucharest, among other Danes who lack relocation funds. Vinterberg has convincingly thought through not just the political, environmental, and financial aspects of this near-future crisis, but also how it might strain or strengthen familial relationships. The acting is superb. And although the show avoids preachy comparisons between its well-off, white climate refugees and their less privileged present-day counterparts, there’s plenty to notice about the international community’s indifference to the plight of the stateless. “I’m really sorry to hear about your country,” a Frenchman tells new Danish acquaintances, with all the solemnity of someone commiserating over a bad vacation. “Everybody in my family’s talking about it.” ## _Mr. Loverman_ (BritBox) Barrington Walker has made the most of his 75 years on Earth. Born in Antigua, he immigrated to Britain as a young man, found success in business, raised two daughters with his wife, Carmel (Sharon D. Clarke), and can now afford to pay his grandson Daniel’s (Tahj Miles) tuition at an elite private high school. But, for upwards of half a century, Barry (Lennie James) has been keeping a huge secret: his romantic relationship with his lifelong best friend, Morris (Ariyon Bakare). Now, as he realizes he’s running out of time to live authentically and Carmel’s suspicion that he cheats on her with women strains their already troubled marriage, Barry resolves to get a divorce and spend the rest of his days with the man he has always loved. This is the emotionally layered premise of _Mr. Loverman_, a tight half-hour drama adapted by Nathaniel Price ([_The Outlaws_](https://time.com/6163440/outlaws-tokyo-vice-61st-street/)) from [Bernardine Evaristo](https://time.com/collection/must-read-books-2019/5724524/girl-woman-other/)’s novel of the same name. James, Clarke, and Bakare are spectacular; Carmel may initially come off as a generic church lady, but Price has empathy for each of his characters, and she eventually gets the humanizing backstory she deserves. The series feels grounded in the Walkers’ immigrant milieu. And while there are harrowing moments—the closet doesn’t always offer Barry and Morris the protections they seek in it—_Mr. Loverman_ balances them out with a massive heart and a wicked sense of humor. ## _Next Gen NYC_ (Bravo) OK, so Bravo’s latest soap doesn’t exactly fit the traditional definition of “good.” If you can’t get on board with the [Real Housewives franchise](https://time.com/5929741/real-housewives-beginners-guide/), this probably will not be the show that converts you. But for those of us who crave featherweight drama, _Next Gen NYC_ hits a fabulously frivolous spot that the network has been missing amid its [increasingly trauma-driven reality programming](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/magazine/reality-tv-has-a-new-recipe-for-success-trauma.html). Among the 20-somethings at its center are the Bravo-famous offspring of breakout Housewives [Kandi Burruss](https://time.com/collection/reality-tv-most-influential-seasons/6198519/real-housewives-of-atlanta/), Kim Zolciak, Meredith Marks, and [Teresa Giudice](https://time.com/collection/reality-tv-most-influential-seasons/6197788/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey-table-flip-story-behind/). Their wider “friend group” consists mostly of influencers (Emira D'Spain) and nepo babies (Damon Dash and Rachel Roy’s daughter Ava); crypto bro Charlie Zakkour’s claim to fame is his [tangential connection](https://pagesix.com/2025/05/27/celebrity-news/new-bravo-reality-star-charlie-zakkour-was-at-the-scene-of-crypto-torture-arrest-crashed-at-soho-house-of-horrors/) to a notorious crypto-related kidnapping. In early episodes, the storylines have been supremely silly: Charlie taunts Brooks Marks about wanting to sleep with Brooks’ sister! Contrarian New York native Georgia McCann scandalizes the group by refusing to wash her hands after going to the bathroom! (When will the NYC slander end?) The struggle to find an apartment for under $6000 a month is real! If the idea of spending time with these people makes your skin crawl… fair. But if immersing yourself in rich-people problems is your idea of a summer vacation, don’t miss it. ## _Outrageous_ (BritBox) If you think your family gatherings have been poisoned by political polarization, imagine being one of the [Mitford sisters](https://time.com/4477650/mitford-sisters-history/). In the 1930s, these [six young women](https://time.com/4452358/mitford-sisters-feminism/) of irrepressible spirit, noble birth, and in some cases deranged beliefs claimed historic roles at opposite ends of a spectrum stretching to unprecedented extremes. Glamorous Diana left her husband for British fascist leader Oswald Mosley; her younger sister Unity went full Nazi, moving to Germany and insinuating herself into Hitler’s inner circle. Inspired by the Popular Front in the Spanish Civil War, Jessica became a communist and, later, a journalist. Eldest daughter Nancy wrote [incisive comic and romantic novels](https://time.com/6085143/pursuit-of-love-review-amazon/) about her social set—as well as a sendup of fascism, _Wigs on the Green_. (Pam and Deborah also lived fascinating, if not quite as public or politicized, lives.) An adaptation of [Mary S. Lovell’s book _The Sisters: The Saga of the Mitford Family_](https://time.com/archive/6665627/books-mad-about-the-mitfords/), the lively and thoughtful _Outrageous_ dramatizes life on the cash-strapped Mitford estate in the ’30s, when Europe was ablaze with conflict and the girls—then teenagers and young adults—burned to be a part of it. Fittingly, it’s Nancy ([_Bridgerton_](https://time.com/6977847/bridgerton-season-3-review-penelope/)’s Bessie Carter, excellent) whose wry voice narrates her family’s fracturing, as she navigates her own romantic woes. Icy yet impulsive Diana (Joanna Vanderham) blows up her relationship with Nancy over the satirical novel. Jessica (Zoe Brough, suitably intense) and Unity (Shannon Watson, persuasively selling her character as an unhinged fangirl) start out as oddball kids play-fighting in their shared bedroom but soon find themselves at war over Unity’s very real antisemitic vitriol. Few true stories could be more timely than this one, which asks whether it’s possible to keep loving a close relative whose beliefs you find appalling. And creator Sarah Williams does a remarkable job transitioning from early storylines about a big, warm, eccentric family to later episodes that weigh Diana and Unity’s monstrous choices without succumbing to doom and gloom. ## _Stick_ (Apple TV+) The third episode of the new Apple TV+ golf comedy _Stick_ is called “Daddy Issues,” but that might as well be the title of the show. Created by [_Ford v. Ferrari_](https://time.com/5729039/ford-v-ferrari-review/) writer Jason Keller, it stars Owen Wilson as a former top golfer, Pryce Cahill, who publicly flamed out 20 years ago. He’s been mired in the past ever since, from his job at a sporting goods store to his refusal to finalize the divorce initiated by his long-suffering wife ([Judy Greer](https://time.com/4021893/natasha-lyonne-judy-greer-addicted-to-fresno/)), move out of their old house, and accept that he’s no longer a husband, a father, or a pro athlete. When he spots a surly teen at a driving range, Santi (Peter Dager), who has the makings of a major talent, Pryce sees in this potential protégé a shot at redemption. But Santi, whose now-estranged dad used to push him too hard on the golf course, doesn’t exactly relish the prospect of having a new father figure to satisfy. It sounds hackneyed and heartstring-yanking—another comedy that uses sports as a cover to talk about men’s feelings and relationships from the platform that brought us [_Ted Lasso_](https://time.com/6081493/ted-lasso-season-2/). There are indeed elements of _Stick_ that come off as pandering…Yet within the limitations of its formula, _Stick_ works. **\[**[**Read the full review**](https://time.com/7289477/stick-review-apple/)**.\]** **Correction, June 28** _The original version of this story misstated the ownership of BritBox.
