I Think Netflix's New 'Messy Girl Summer' Category Missed a Few Titles, but I've Got You
You've probably noticed that Netflix likes to group certain shows and movies into categories while you browse their interface. Among the most prominent in my own feed are headings like "Lazy Day Comfort Binges," "Critically Acclaimed Witty Buddy TV Shows" and "Award Nominees" -- I guess I give off lazy but prestigious vibes. (The algorithm gets me!) While browsing recently, I stumbled on a new, seasonal category that caught my eye: Messy Girl Summer. This category features about 35 titles, all offering some take on multifaceted women. Netflix shows that appear under the category include the newish Julianne Moore-Meghann Fahy dark comedy Sirens, Ginny & Georgia, Glow and the brand new Lena Dunham-penned rom-com, Too Much, which is hovering in Netflix's Top 10 at the moment. There are also a bunch of movies on the list, including Amy Schumer's pregnancy comedy Kinda Pregnant, Todd Haynes' psychological drama May December and the rom-com He's All That. "Messy Girl Summer" is a broad term evoking female characters who are allowed to be flawed, weird, vulnerable or secretive -- and that's a combination of traits that has worked for Netflix for years. One of the platform's first hit shows was Orange Is The New Black, a show filled with messy women in prison. But that show has fallen off most people's radar, and thus, it was left off this list. In fact, there are a lot of titles that aren't on this list but probably should be. Netflix really could have blown this category out and had some fun with it. It's OK, I'll step in. If I were curating Messy Girl Summer, I'd start with the show that's the progenitor of the genre, Sex and the City. Back when appointment television was still a thing, that show was essential Sunday-night-in-the-summer viewing. (Its sequel, And Just Like That, is currently tormenting longtime fans every week over on HBO Max, but it's just not the same.) Also missing from Netflix's list are the documentary Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare, about one woman's years-long relationship with a man who didn't exist, the kinda-weird Irish crime drama Bodkin, the Japanese series Asura about four sisters whose lives are thrown into chaos when their dad's affair is discovered, or the Mexican erotic drama Playing With Fire. Every woman on each of these shows is a mess or is dealing with one in some way or another; they absolutely deserve to be included. Need more messy girl movies? Nothing messier than One of Them Days (friendship/rent is due mess), To All The Boys I've Loved Before (romantic mess), or documentaries like Con Mum or A Deadly American Marriage (real-life mess). To All the Boys I've Loved Before Netflix I'm all for trendy, zeitgeisty slang (if for no other reason than to make my kids uncomfortable when I use it), so messy girl summer doesn't bother me, but it did make me realize that when you're labeling women, messy is an easy shorthand for the Venn overlap of "flawed" and "chaotic." Usually, "flawed" male protagonists aren't "chaotic" as much as they are "tortured" or "vulnerable" -- instead of "messy," they get to be "complicated." For shows about men like that, I suggest Dept. Q, Lupin, Breaking Bad or Bodyguard. (I guess complicated men tend to either be in law enforcement or on the run from the law.) Honestly, you can shoehorn pretty much anything into a category if you try -- we all contain multitudes and we're all a mess somehow, right? Which is probably why we like watching shows and movies about people whose lifestyles are even more complicated and messy than our own.

Will Lorde Battle With ‘KPop Demon Hunters' on the Billboard 200 Next Week?
The Contenders is a midweek column that looks at artists aiming for the top of the Billboard charts, and the strategies behind their efforts. This week, for the upcoming Billboard 200 dated July 12, we look at a loaded week of new and surging releases, headlined by returning alt-pop star Lorde and what's quickly becoming the summer's hottest movie soundtrack. Lorde, (Republic): One of the most anticipated pop releases of the summer has certainly been Lorde's fourth album Virgin, her first full-length since 2021's polarizing Solar Power. The album came with an extensive rollout, led by first single 'What Was That' — which was debuted at a stop-start live event in New York's Washington Square Park (filmed for the song's official video, released later that week) and which became her first Billboard Hot 100 top 40 hit of the 2020s, bowing at No. 36. More from Billboard Debbie Harry on Image Expectations in Music: 'I Wanted to Work' Wallows Recall Morrissey Walking Out of Their Show: 'That's the Perfect Morrissey Story' Bob Vylan Axed From Radar, Kave Fest After Glastonbury Backlash That song fell off the Hot 100 after just a few weeks, and none of the other tracks released in advance of Virgin followed it onto the chart — and the set has only 11 tracks and no feature appearances — so it's unlikely to be a streaming blockbuster, though it should still perform respectably on DSPs. It's also expected to sell well, helped by its availability for purchase in eight vinyl variants, including two signed editions — as well as being available on CD and for digital download. (The early critical response for Virgin has also been much stronger than the relatively mixed reception for Solar Power.) It should be enough to continue Lorde's streak of each of her studio albums making the Billboard 200's top five, and may better the No. 5 debut of Solar Power. It's unlikely to give her a second No. 1 album on the chart, however — following the No. 1 bow of Melodrama in 2017 — as Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem continues to be an absolute streaming juggernaut, set to score a seventh consecutive week of six-digit units on the chart. Soundtrack (Republic): The greatest potential obstacle to Lorde's path to a No. 2 debut on the Billboard 200 may come from another Republic release, and one far fewer would have tabbed as such a charts contender. KPop Demon Hunters, the animated Netflix musical set in the Korean pop world, has become such a sensation since its release two Fridays ago (June 20) that its soundtrack — featuring the songs of its two primary fictional groups, HUNTR/X and Saja Boys, as well as a couple contributions from real-life K-pop stars TWICE — appears on its way to being one of the summer's biggest hits. The rising soundtrack already debuted on the Billboard 200 dated July 5 at No. 8, making it the first soundtrack to reach the chart's top 10 since Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo's Wicked accompanying set in January. And the set is still growing, up 220% in streams over the first four days of this tracking week (June 27-30), as its songs continue to scale the DSPs' daily charts — with the soundtrack now occupying five of the top 15 spots on Spotify's Daily Top Songs USA listing, and seven of the top 25. If the set continues to grow on streaming, it could not only crash the Billboard 200's top five next week, it could challenge Virgin for the chart's runner-up spot. And the album doesn't even have a physical release yet — it's only available for streaming and digital purchase at the moment — so if Republic could get a physical soundtrack together to tap into K-pop fans' investment in tangible products, the sky is the limit for KPop Demon Hunters' commercial potential. KATSEYE, (Hybe UMG/Geffen): Speaking of K-pop — one of the biggest stories in the genre this year is of the global outfit KATSEYE, which encompasses members from not just Korea but the Philippines, Switzerland and the U.S., and sings in multiple languages, despite largely working within a K-pop framework. The group's approach has generated much discussion within various pop communities, and also a couple crossover hits: The group's singles 'Gabriela' (No. 94) and 'Gnarly' (No. 98) can both be found on this week's Hot 100. Both those singles can also be found on the sextet's second EP, Beautiful Chaos. The five-track set contains contributions from behind-the-scenes stateside pop fixtures like Andrew Watt and Justin Tranter, and comes with a surfeit of physical options for purchase — including four vinyl variants and nine CD variants. It might not be enough to compete with the streaming power of KPop Demon Hunters on next week's Billboard 200, but it should be enough to further cement KATSEYE as a burgeoning force on the charts. IN THE MIX Russ, (Diemon): Billboard's 2025 Indie Trailblazer returned on Friday (June 27) with new set W!LD, follow-up to 2023's No. 12-debuting Santiago. The album should also be ticketed for a top 20 debut, as the 19-track collection has yet to produce any obvious breakout hits, but Russ' selling power remains considerable for an independent rapper — and W!LD is available for purchase in multiple vinyl, CD and cassette variants, some of which are signed. Barbra Streisand, : (Columbia): Barbra Streisand is one of the legends of the Billboard 200, having topped the chart a staggering 11 times in her career, ranging from 1964's People to 2016's Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway. Streisand's latest Partners duets set is unlikely to make it an even dozen, but should attract interest with its star-studded guest list — including modern-day chart-toppers Ariana Grande, Sam Smith and Hozier, as well as all-time legends like Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney and Mariah Carey — and is available for sale in a pair of vinyl variants, as well as on CD.

For Eric Bana, 'Untamed' and its wilderness was hard to leave behind
When Eric Bana is not filming, he's more than likely riding a motorcycle in a remote part of Australia. He's been doing it since he was a kid, having grown up in a semi-industrial part of the suburbs of Melbourne on the verge of farmland. Now, it's his solace on days off. "It's a vulnerable feeling, it's an exciting feeling," he says on a video call. "You have to be self-sufficient. You have to think worst-case scenario. What happens if I get a flat tire when it's 120 degrees and there's no water around? It keeps you awake." So when, back in 2019, Bana was given the pilot script for the Netflix limited series "Untamed," he was immediately attracted. He would play the role of Kyle Turner, an agent in the Investigative Services Branch of the National Park Service in Yosemite — essentially a park detective. It's a murder mystery yet set against the kind of wilderness that Bana loves. "I just felt a kinship for Kyle immediately," he remembers. "I don't know if it was just like the shared love for the outdoors and how that affects our psyche and our well-being, our sense of self, our emotional journey in life — I just immediately felt very strongly for Kyle." Bana stuck with the project through the COVID pandemic and the Hollywood strikes, allowing the series created by Mark L. Smith of "American Primeval" and daughter Elle Smith to finally hit the streaming service on Thursday. The show finds Bana's character investigating the death of a young woman who plummets off El Capitan and into two rock climbers. The case unexpectedly connects two other traumatic incidents that have happened in the mountainous wilds — at least one of which directly involves the taciturn Kyle, grieving the death of his young son. "He exudes that kind of sensitivity and strength at the same time," Elle Smith says. "It allowed him to just really embody Turner. Because he's been living in this show for so long, so many years and kept it alive and has remained passionate about it, once we got into production, he was Turner." "Untamed" also marks the latest in Bana's unconventional career that has seen him touch nearly every corner of the Hollywood machine, even though he has always chosen to live in Australia when he's not working. It never made sense for him to move to Los Angeles when many of his shoots were overseas anyway. When we chat, he's briefly in town for "Untamed" press. Though he started his career as a comedian in his home country, he was part of the superhero craze before it was a craze, playing the title role in Ang Lee's 'Hulk,' a movie that's now undergone a critical reassessment. He's been a 'Star Trek' villain and a Steven Spielberg protagonist in the historical drama 'Munich.' (Over the past 12 months, more and more people have been bringing up the role of the Mossad agent tasked to respond to the murder of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Summer Olympics: "With the passing of time, you realize how incredible some of the observations were," he says.) More recently, he ventured into the world of television, playing the sociopathic John Meehan in the first season of the anthology series "Dirty John." Bana says he tends not to think about specifically playing characters that contradict his previous work, but he understands that coming off that role probably was one of the reasons he gravitated toward Kyle in "Untamed." "There was no doubt that the character of John had a level of toxicity to him that was just so high," he says, adding, "I realized that Kyle was a warmer character for the audience to follow than John." Before he actually got to play Kyle, he started a mini-franchise in Australia with producing partner and director Rob Connolly thanks to "The Dry" and its sequel, in which he plays another investigator reeling from a traumatic past. Read more: Shades of 'Dirty John' had Eric Bana questioning motives even after filming For creator Mark Smith, Bana was the ideal person to embody Kyle because of his ability to convey a lot with very little dialogue. "We felt like he was just so expressive in his eyes and his face," Mark says. "He can do so much without saying anything, and that was crucial to this guy who really doesn't want to speak — he doesn't want to talk to people. He just wants to be kind of off on his own, doing his thing in the wilderness." Because Bana got on board early, the Smiths could start writing the rest of the scripts with him in mind. One of Bana's requests: The more he could be on a horse, the better. In the show, Kyle eschews motor vehicles for a trusty steed, which gives him more access to the less traversed areas of the park. Bana ended up loving his horse. "I desperately wanted to smuggle him on the plane and take him home," he says. Mark and Elle Smith conceived of the series after being sent articles about the National Park Service's Investigative Services Branch. They were not familiar with that world but were nonetheless fascinated by this strange profession that is part FBI agent and part park ranger. Bana had visited Yosemite years ago as a solo tourist but didn't have the chance to go again before the shoot, which took place in British Columbia. Still, he spoke to rangers and ISB employees to get a sense of "just how crazy" some of their work can be. "When you mix drugs, when you mix people coming from all kinds of different backgrounds and having different entitlements to the places that they're in, it's really interesting," he says. Bana understands from personal experience that the attraction to the outdoors is partially based on the fact that danger is almost always lurking around the corner. In Australia, he adds, "there's always something trying to get you, whether it be two-legged, four-legged, eight-legged or whatever." On the set of "Untamed," he was incredibly eager to see a bear — and was disappointed when it never happened. "We had a bear guy on set who was responsible for our and the bears' safety," he says. "We had very strict rules around food and all that sort of stuff. I was desperate, desperate to have an encounter with a bear of the positive kind, and I never saw one." Elle Smith confirms that most everyone else got to see a bear. "He had really bad bear luck," she adds. But even with his lack of bear sightings, Bana's love of being outside was crucial for the entire production. Mark explains he's not the kind of star who returns to his trailer, instead pulling up a chair to hang out. "This was a tough landscape that we were shooting in," Elle Smith adds. "I think it really helps in terms of tone setting if your movie star is willing to get out on the rock and do the climb. It really helps the crew also feel like they're able to do the climb." Bana was intoxicated by his environment — so much so that he wouldn't want to go back to the sterility of a soundstage. "Going to work in a studio after doing something like this — the thought of it is just debilitating creatively," he says. "There's something about a camera coming out of a box when the sun rises and going back when the sun goes down. There's an energy, there's a cadence to that." For his follow-up, he went back into the elements for "Apex," an upcoming film opposite Charlize Theron, where they play a pair of rock climbers. He says he did intense training in the skill or else he would have looked like a "fool." And just like how Bana is willing to let the weather dictate his shooting days, he is also patient with his career. It's one of the reasons he was willing to wait for "Untamed." "I've been in this business for a period of time now where I realize you really do have to go with the ebbs and flows and you really do have to pace yourself, but at the same time when you find something that you love you just have to try and protect it," he says. It's something you could also say about the natural world, and Bana hopes that "Untamed," even with all its dark deeds and buried secrets, encourages audiences to go see for themselves. "I hope people enjoy the feeling of being in that space, and in a perfect world, feel motivated to go and seek them out," he says. He certainly will be.
