4 TV Shows To Stream This Week That Capture The Best Summer Vibes

Watch these while you wait for summer to officially begin.

I love summer. I love the food, the weather, all of the things to do, and just how easily my seasonal depression slips away when the sun is out consistently.

Everything I do is summer coded, and that includes what movies and TV shows I watch. If you’re like me and want to capture the essence of summer at all points in your day, here are four TV shows that are the epitome of summer to me.

Broad City

Comedy Central

Broad City is quite possibly the funniest show I have ever watched. If you are a 20 or 30-something woman living in a city and you haven’t watched Broad City, please do yourself the favor now. Abbi and Ilana are just two best friends trying to navigate life in Brooklyn. Between dating, work, friendships, and all of the mishaps that can happen to a city girl in one day, this show has everything and most of the time, everything happens when it’s sunny and the perfect, sweaty weather outside. Broad City is streaming on Hulu and Paramount+.

Betty

HBO

Betty is absolutely a summer show and you should go check it out right now. Betty follows a group of women trying to navigate the male-dominated world of skateboarding in New York City. Betty is the perfect relaxed, laid-back show that puts street fashion on display and highlights women in unconventional scenes. Betty is streaming on HBO Max.

The O.C.

Fox

Alright, alright, I know, but The O.C. is a perfect summer show. The O.C. follows the lives of teens and their families in Orange County, California, so it is filled with sunshine, waves, and tons of drama. It’s more than just high school drama and there is truly a story line for everyone, but The O.C. is summer. You can’t change my mind. The O.C. is streaming on Hulu and HBO Max.

Outer Banks

Netflix

Outer Banks follows the story of teens on the North Carolina coast as they look for buried treasure. That sounds cheesy but it’s a really solid who-dun-it type of mystery that will have you craving the Outer Banks, North Carolina surf and sand. Plus, you might even want to start digging for buried treasure. Outer Banks is streaming on Netflix.

Your Daily Devotional 6/11/2025: When Love Puts Others First

Devotional Message There are two commands that we should have for each other—for loved ones, strangers, or people in-between. When we remember that we all come from the same source—God—this command begins to make deeper sense. The first instruction we’ve received is to be devoted—suggesting constant affection, commitment, loyalty, and sometimes even sacrifice. The second […]
