6. UnREAL

Although Lifetime is still known mostly for its reality programming and *that* Unauthorised Saved By The Bell Story, it does have an ace up its sleeve.

UnREAL came from out of nowhere last year to be one of the hits of the summer, proving to be a critical smash and garnering some decent ratings too. Now it's hoping to repeat the trick with Season 2, and there's nothing to suggest they won't manage it.

The series gives an unflinching, darkly satirical behind-the-scenes view of a reality dating programme, focusing on the people making the show, with a cast including Shiri Appleby and Constance Zimmer. Meanwhile, the show-within-the-show, Bachelor-esque Everlasting, will be getting its first black contestant in B.J. Britt.

UnREAL starts June 6.
