As streamers continue to dump a ton of Emmy contenders before the awards deadline at the end of the month, pretty much every service has at least one must-see show still on the way.

All it takes is the will to blow off the two biggest streaming releases of the year: the new season of Netflix’s “Stranger Things” and Disney’s “Obi-Wan Kenobi.”

As we’ve previously mentioned, consumers can take full advantage of cord-cutting though a churn-and-return strategy — that’s adding and dropping streaming services each month — and all it takes is good planning. Keep in mind that a billing cycle starts when you sign up, not necessarily at the beginning of a month. Also keep an eye out for lower-priced tiers, limited-time discounts, free trials and cost-saving bundles. There are a lot of offers out there, but the deals don’t last forever.

Hulu Two years after the steamy adaptation of Sally Rooney’s “Normal People” proved to be a hit, Hulu hopes for a repeat performance with an adaptation of Rooney’s first novel, “Conversations With Friends” . Alison Oliver stars as an Irish college student caught in a messy web of friendships and romantic relationships, made all the messier after she starts an affair with a married man in her friend group. All 12 episodes of the half-hour drama will drop at once, so set aside a weekend to binge.

Play, pause or stop? Play. “Conversations With Friends” is poised to be a buzzy hit, and with a solid crop of new additions, good continuing shows and a deep library, Hulu’s worth a subscription. Apple also has new episodes every week of the Elisabeth Moss time-travel thriller “Shining Girls,” and a pair of Major League Baseball games every Friday.

That’s the name of the rebranded IMDb TV, Amazon’s free, ad-supported streaming service. And that’s where you can find “Bosch: Legacy” , a spinoff of the long-running Prime Video cop drama “Bosch.” Titus Welliver reprises his role as Harry Bosch, now retired from the police force and working as a private investigator while his daughter, Maddie , follows in his footsteps as a rookie cop.

On the unscripted front, Netflix has Season 4 of the terrible yet addictive catfishing competition “The Circle” ; a U.S. version of the sweet Australian autism-dating show “Love on the Spectrum” ; and Season 5 of the easygoing and upbeat food/travel show “Somebody Feed Phil” .
