Waiting for a New 'Game of Thrones' Episode? Here's 6 Shows You Need to be Watching in the Meantime.

With only a few weeks till the season finale of Game of Thrones ends, there's a lot of downtime between each episode, and that downtime can be somewhat of a drag. While The Walking Dead is certainly ramping up for its next season, we've got a lot of time between the two shows. To keep yourself busy, you've no doubt been trying to find something to watch, and the summer is the worst time to do so.

Thanks to streaming services such as Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, there's a handful of shows to watch. However, some have gone under the radar, and they are certainly ones that aren't being widely discussed. What are they? Lets take a peak.

#6. 'Wet Hot American Summer: 10 Years Later' | Netflix

Whether you were ready for it or not, Netflix has once again done it. They've brought life into the cult hit series Wet Hot American Summer, which is one of the strangest, most enjoyable, and even comical movies of the last decade. Netflix has managed to keep the spirit alive with having the Wet Hot American Summer gang return to Camp Firewood ten years later.

Keeping up with their promise, the group has returned for their reunion. Among the ragtag group McKinley has a newborn baby. Gene is still looking rather ragged and living out of his RV. Beth is still the drama queen from Hell, who has decided to sell the camp and earn what she can from it. Joining former actors in the show such as Janeane Garofalo, Christopher Maloni, and Elizabeth Banks, the show will feature new stars such as Dax Shepard as well as Alyssa Milano.

#5. 'The Night Manager' | Amazon

For former British Soldier Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston), your job isn't an easy one. Once a soldier now turned Hotel night porter, Pine is a man just like any other, a man who works an honest job, does as is asked, and provides the best service possible for his guests. However, all has changed when he is asked to assist an intelligence operative who knows her cover has been blown.

Picking up on her works of spying on businessmen Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie), an entrepreneur who has become a charismatic personality in the eyes of the world as a humanitarian, his cover is blown as he assumed to have become a lord of war. Based on John le Carré's novel of the same name, holds nothing back. Turning into a spy and inside man in Roper's world, Pine seeks to unveil the truth about Roper's doings and ultimately undermine Roper's operation's with the help of Secret Intelligence Service or will he fall too deep?

#4. 'Chewing Gum' | Netflix

“If I had £1,000, I would buy Brazilian yaki hair, like Beyonce, lip reduction, red velvet cupcakes, probably a dustpan and brush for this place. I mean, look at it, it’s boring, there’s not even crime here, it’s like some fake-ass estate, it’s like diet cola. It’s diluted.” - Tracey, Chewing Gum

E4 may have struck gold with actress and screenwriter Michaela Coel, who came up with the series. The show tells the story of Tracey, a rather hilarious woman who lives with her evangelical Christian family on a council estate in Tower Hamlets. The show explores the hilarious friendship between her best friend Candice, her crush Connor, and their rather hilarious and vivid cast of characters come to life.

Chewing Gum is a show that decides to forego all of the modern worlds stereotypes by offering a burst of life, color, and denouncement of stereotypical lives normally seen in typical "gritty" dramas.

#3. 'Man in the High Castle' | Amazon

While the show receives quite a bit of attention, Man in the High Castle is a unique take on World War II. The show is loosely based off the novel by Philip K. Dick under the same name. The show, like the book, tells the story of what a post-World War II world would have looked like had had the Axis powers won the war, and the United States had fallen against the German and Nazi fronts. Having fallen on both sides, the show depicts the world as it would be if such a thing had happened.

With the states being divided between the Reich, the Japanese, and a buffer zone, the world is much different with rebels hiding under the High Castle itself. Despite oppression by both regimes being forced upon the peoples, hope has emerged when films show up, films that show a different world, a world free of tyranny and oppression. As the films have emerged, a woman contains one of them and with the help of a mysterious guardian, she most bring them to the right people to hopefully save the world from tyranny.

#2. 'Frontier' | Netflix

Frontier follows the life of Declan Harp, a part-Irish and part-Cree outlaw who has been campaigning to surpass the Hudson's Bay Company's monopoly on the fur trade in Canada. His story, however, is not one that is welcome nor easy. The show is brutal in the essence that the frontier is untamed. It is wild and politics play a hefty role as Declan and his unruly gang vie for control in the fur trade.

Doing so isn't easy. It's one that requires cunning, sleight of hand, and connections unlike any other. For Declan and the folks of the frontier, the British should be the least of their worries in a land where the red coats rule supreme.

#1. 'The Last Kingdom' | Netflix

The Last Kingdom tells the story of Uthred (Alexander Dreymon) whom witnesses the murder of his father at the hands of a Danish warlord under the name Earl Ragnar. Raised in a Danish camp as a slive along side Brida, a sharp-tongued girl whom would come to be his closest friend, Uthred quickly grows up in the show. In his adult life, Uthred has become an established warrior whom has been dealt another blow when his home has been set aflame, his surrogate family murdered, and having fallen to exile in a war torn land.

With Brida at his side, Uthred has been pushed to where he has vowed to seek vengeance upon those who wronged him, and his surrogate family. In doing so, he will have a chance to take back his land, but if he is going to help birth a nation of his own. He must recapture his ancestral land, walk the dangerous path of the righteousness between his adopted Danish culture and the Christian people whom he had once vowed himself to as a child.

Closing Thoughts

While many of these shows may not line-up with the epic fantasy that is Game of Thrones, many of the shows offer an equal entertainment value, which is close to that of what fans will get as they wait for the last few episodes of the current season. Each of these shows are also ones that went right under the radar and seem to be ones that few people have actually heard of.

Each of them deserves a fair chance and could even offer up a chance to explore entirely new genres.
