🎬 Rainy Days & Summer Nights: 7 Binge-Worthy Picks to Stream Right Now
Some days are made for sunshine and adventures. But others? They’re made for sweatpants, fuzzy blankets, and a screen full of drama, romance, or a ridiculously good crime doc.
Whether you’re stuck inside during a summer storm or you’re winding down after a long day of backyard barbecues and beach trips, here are 7 binge-worthy picks to stream—plus a few you can find on Prime Video (my favorite, and yes, there is an affiliate link. Win-win!).
1. The Summer I Turned Pretty (Prime Video)
🌦️ Genre: Teen/Young Adult Drama
You know that nostalgic, soft-focus feeling of being 16 in summer? This series captures it perfectly. Love triangles, family beach houses, growing up—it’s all there. Bonus: the soundtrack is chef’s kiss.

2. Only Murders in the Building (Hulu)
🎙️ Genre: Mystery Comedy
Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez are unlikely podcast hosts in a building full of secrets. It’s clever, funny, and just suspenseful enough to keep you clicking “Next Episode” when you should be sleeping.
3. Good Omens (Prime Video)
😇 Genre: Fantasy/Comedy
An angel and a demon team up to stop the apocalypse. If that’s not binge-worthy, what is? With British humor, quirky world-building, and David Tennant in full chaos mode, it’s a heavenly (and slightly hellish) delight.
4. Daisy Jones & The Six (Prime Video)
🎤 Genre: Music Drama
Set in the 1970s rock scene, this mini-series (inspired by Taylor Jenkins Reid’s bestselling book) is full of Stevie Nicks vibes and moody band drama. Rainy day? Summer night? Doesn’t matter—it’ll hook you either way.
5. The Bear (Hulu)
🍝 Genre: Drama
Messy kitchens, messy emotions, Michelin-level acting. If you like shows with grit, heart, and a little chaos, this one’s for you. And if you’ve ever worked in food service, prepare to feel seen.
6. Red, White & Royal Blue (Prime Video – Movie)
🇬🇧 Genre: Romantic Comedy
What if the son of the U.S. President fell in love with a British prince? This fun, flirty film has the swoony energy of a summer rom-com and the comfort of a good love story. Curl up and prepare to smile.
7. My Octopus Teacher (Netflix – Documentary)
🐙 Genre: Documentary/Nature
If you’re in a contemplative mood and want something beautiful and unexpected, this story of a man’s bond with a wild octopus is surprisingly emotional. It’s the kind of film that lingers with you.
