Sense8: The Series Finale — June 8
This Netflix original sci-fi series is practically a legend at this point.

When the dust all cleared, fans were left with a massive cliffhanger and an insatiable urge for more Sense8, leading to a flood of online petitions to put the show back on the air.

That's the premise of Cooking on High, a culinary cook-off featuring the kind of greens your mother warned you about. Each episode, chefs compete to complete a cannabis-inspired dish, which is then tasted and critiqued by a panel of judges. Those are some pretty high stakes, but we're calling it: Whoever has their dish eaten last wins, every time.
