Ah, the summer lull. Your shows are done, actors are striking and it’s too hot to spend much time outside. I’ve got your back. Below are the most popular streaming shows for the week of July 10.

I admit it …

I’ve only seen two of these top shows. Go through the list and try to guess which ones they are.

1. “The Witcher” (Netflix): Fantasy drama featuring a monster hunter and magic.
2. “Stranger Things“ (Netflix): Sci-fi blast from the past set in the ’80s. Worth watching just for the music! But the storylines are good, too.

4. “The Bear“ (Hulu): A hot-shot fine dining chef returns to his hometown to run a sandwich shop after a death in the family.
5. “The Last of Us“ (Max): Post-apocalyptic drama based on a hit videogame. Warning: Be prepared to cry, even on episode one.
6. “The Boys“ (Prime Video): What if superheroes used their powers for bad? A group of vigilantes fights back in this action drama.
7. “Outlander“ (Starz/Netflix): Historical drama based on a novel series. A World War II military nurse is transported back in time and falls in love with a Scottish Highland warrior.
8. “Wednesday“ (Netflix): Dark comedy meets mystery, starring Wednesday Addams. Think magic, werewolves and the hunt for a murderer.
