Now that summer is here, temperatures are only going to keep climbing, and the idea of staying indoors to watch Netflix instead of soaking up the sunshine might not appeal to everyone. But if you’re anything like me and struggle with the heat, you’d probably rather settle in with a new series and a fan blasting in front of you than melt outside.Thankfully, Netflix keeps its library stocked with fresh content every week, so there’s always something new to binge.To make your choice a little easier, I've picked three Netflix shows that are well worth watching. That includes an action drama following the crew of a naval destroyer as they fight to save humanity, the second season of the live action adaptation of “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” and a documentary exploring the origins of American democracy.If you're spending the weekend with Netflix, these three new series should be at the top of your list.‘The Last Ship’“The Last Ship” is a post-apocalyptic military drama based on William Brinkley's 1988 novel of the same name. Executive produced by Hollywood blockbuster filmmaker Michael Bay, the series ran for five action-packed seasons, spanning 56 episodes before concluding in 2018. It follows the crew of a U.S. Navy destroyer as they respond to a global pandemic that wipes out more than 80% of the world's population. If you enjoy tense naval thrillers like “Crimson Tide” or “The Hunt for Red October,” this is well worth adding to your watchlist.After a devastating global pandemic wipes out most of the world’s population, the crew of the USS Nathan James returns from a classified mission to discover that civilization has collapsed. Led by Captain Tom Chandler (Eric Dane), the sailors become one of the few remaining organized military forces and embark on a dangerous mission to locate a cure while avoiding rival factions determined to seize control.Watch "The Last Ship" seasons 1-5 on Netflix nowGet instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’
