Traditionally, June is the start of quiet time for new premieres in TV land. The movie studios are filling theaters with their summer blockbusters, kids are counting down for their long vacations, and there are huge sporting events on the horizon. But, thankfully, in the era of streaming, the likes of Netflix, Disney Plus, Apple TV Plus and their competitors cannot afford to take their foot off the gas for a moment, with a cash-strapped public not needing any excuse to unsubscribe.
A case in point is June's lineup of documentaries, which is as good as it is in the heart of the winter months. There are two new fascinating true crime series, a tribute to two very different screen icons and the story of an unlikely soccer star who won the hearts of the United Kingdom twice over.
