Date:
Fri, 13 Oct 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Description:
From anticipated horror thrillers to legal comedies, these are the films and TV series worth watching this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The spooky season is well and truly upon us, but this week's streaming selection isn't as packed with frightening films and scary shows as we'd expect for this time of year.

There are a couple of new horrifying series to keep you up at night, though, including a Mike Flanagan horror offering on Netflix , which leads this
week's must-see streaming content. If you don't want to spend your weekend hiding behind a cushion, there are some fascinating flicks and TV shows to watch on Prime Video and Max , too.

So, from new movies to the final seasons of criminally underrated TV shows, these are the seven things worth watching this weekend. The Fall of the House of Usher (Netflix)

The final Netflix project from horror icon Mike Flanagan (he recently signed
a first-look deal with Amazon Studios), The Fall of the House of Usher looks like a horror-tinged version of hit Max series Succession and that's a gothic-laced description to convince us it's worth watching.

Flanagan's frequent collaborators Carla Gugino and Rahul Kohli lead a starry cast that also includes Star Wars legend Mark Hamill in a series based on Edgar Allan Poe's famous short story of the same name. In this TV adaptation, the CEO (Bruce Greenwood) of a corrupt pharmaceutical company is forced to confront his questionable past when a mysterious woman (Gugino) seemingly starts murdering his family in brutal ways.

Many of Flanagan's previous works for the world's best streaming service have made their way onto our best Netflix shows list, and The Fall of the House of Usher should follow suit. Early reviews have called it a "masterpiece", "infectious", "bluntly entertaining", and "horribly good fun". Sign us up.

The Fall of the House of Usher is available to stream in full now. The
Burial (Prime Video)

Jamie Foxx ( Spider-Man: No Way Home ) and Tommy Lee Jones ( Men In Black ) star in one of 2023's new Prime Video movies that looks as fun as it is dramatic.

Based on true events, The Burial tells the story of unconventional personal injury lawyer Willie E. Gary, who takes up the case of Jeremiah O'Keeffe, a funeral home owner involved in a messy contractual dispute with the Loewen Group. Jurnee Smollett ( Birds of Prey ), Mamoudou Athie ( Elemental ), and Bill Camp ( Lincoln ) also star.

Reviews have been largely positive for this legal comedy-drama, so expect it to work its way onto our best Prime Video movies article soon.

Available to watch now on Prime Video. Doom Patrol season 4 part 2 (Max)

Everyone's favorite dysfunctional superhero family (aside from Netflix's The Umbrella Academy , anyway) is back for its final outing on Max.

That's right, Doom Patrol season 4 part 2 is finally out on Warner Bros. Discovery's main streaming platform. Following its mid-season break, the hit superhero show's final entries find the reluctant heroes "meeting old friends and foes as they race to defeat Immortus and get back their longevities".

It doesn't have a spot on our best Max shows list, but we'll be rectifying that now that Doom Patrol is back on our screens. With a hugely underrated, but no less starry, cast that includes Brendan Fraser ( The Whale ) and Michelle Gomez ( Doctor Who ), plus its completely bizarre tone and vibe,
this is one series that wasn't *ahem* doomed to fail.

Season 4 part 2's first two episodes are out now on Max. New episodes air weekly until the finale on November 9. Goosebumps (Disney Plus/Hulu)

After the mixed reception to Sony's movie adaptations of R.L. Stine's famous teen-oriented horror works, Disney is trying its hand at converting
Goosebumps into a more enjoyable series (in collaboration with Sony's TV division, mind you) for its Disney Plus and Hulu streaming services.

The 10-part TV show follows "a group of five high schoolers as they embark on a shadowy and twisted journey to investigate the tragic passing three decades earlier of a teen named Harold Biddle while also unearthing dark secrets
from their parents past". Justin Long, Ana Yi Puig, Miles McKenna, Will
Price, and Zack Morris star.

Goosebumps , which has been described as a lighter version of Stranger
Things , has been positively received by critics ahead of release, so it
might scare its way into our best Disney Plus shows and/or best Hulu shows guides if it's lucky. Or, you know, if Slappy the Dummy forces us to add it.

Goosebumps' first five episodes are available to stream now. New episodes
air weekly. Lessons in Chemistry (Apple TV Plus)

Before she returns to the MCU for The Marvels , the follow-up to 2019's Captain Marvel , Brie Larson stars in this Apple TV Plus miniseries that's been met with critical acclaim.

Set in the 1950s and 1960s, Larson portrays Elizabeth Zott, a female
scientist who becomes the hugely popular host of a new TV cooking show 'Supper at Six' after being fired from her former job. Initially hesitant about her newfound fame, Zott soon puts her background to good use as she starts teaching housewives about science-based topics. Lewis Pullman, Kevin Sussman, and Aja Naomi King are among the supporting cast.

Lessons in Chemistry seems like it'll be a shoo-in for our best Apple TV
Plus shows guide once it's released, so don't sleep on it.

Lessons in Chemistry's first two episodes are out now, with new entries released weekly. John Carpenter's Suburban Screams (Peacock)

From the mind of legendary horror writer, director, and producer John Carpenter, this Peacock anthology series takes a frightful trip into the bowels of America to explore some truly bone-chilling real-life tales.

Across six weeks, each episode contains first-hand accounts of real people
who lived through various spook-filled scenarios in a number of seemingly perfect US hometowns. According to Peacock, the documented cases will be accompanied by "premium cinematic scene-work, news clips, home photos, and archival footage", which the streamer claims will add to the unsettling
nature of each of Suburban Screams ' stories.

All six episodes of John Carpenter's Suburban Screams are available now. Big Vape: The Rise and Fall of Juul (Netflix)

Rounding out this week's streaming selection is Big Vape , the latest documentary from Netflix that explores the shady goings-on at a big start-up company.

The four-part docuseries, based on TIME correspondent Jamie Ducharme's book 'Big Vape: The Incendiary Rise of Juul', charts the remarkable rise and fall of the fastest-growing e-cigarette company in the US in the mid-2010s. With first-hand accounts of what went on within the start-up, Big Vape aims to shine a light on the massive success Juul experienced before it imploded as quickly as it rose to prominence. One to add to our best Netflix
documentaries guide in the near future.

Big Vape: The Rise and Fall of Juul is available in full now.

Peacock , respectively.

Below, youll find our pick of the best new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max and more this weekend. Bodies (Netflix)

In case you hadnt heard: Netflix is on the up. Stories from David Beckham and Edgar Allen Poe have provided a nice boost to viewership numbers in October, and the streamer will be hoping that Bodies its latest thriller series builds on that success.

An eight-part adaptation of the graphic novel by Si Spencer, this Paul Tomalin-directed mystery has a cracking strapline: Four detectives. Four timelines. One body. Essentially, it follows four London detectives, across four different time periods, as they investigate a homicide involving the
same victim (yes, you read that right: the same victim).

Now available to stream on Netflix. The Burning Girls (Paramount Plus)

Its been a while since the last good show about a remote community with a terrible secret, but The Burning Girls has arrived on Paramount Plus to rectify that situation.

This six-episode adaptation of the novel by C.J. Tudor stars Samantha Morton

Now available to stream on Amazon Freevee. If You Were the Last (Peacock)

Having debuted to positive reviews at SXSW festival back in March, new sci-fi rom-com If You Were the Last finally lands on Peacock this weekend.

This feature directorial debut from Kristian Mercado stars Anthony Mackie and Zo Chao as Adam and Jane, two astronauts who, after becoming stranded on a derelict spaceship, must decide if their friendship should become something more.

compete with Netflix ? Watch this space.

Prime Videos off-beat, inventive and thoroughly under-appreciated comedy series, Upload , continues with its third season this weekend.

New episodes find the shows lead, Nathan, grappling with the reality of being back in, well, reality, after season 2 concluded with the character successfully returning to the land of the living. But how will Nathan fare in the same dimension as his longtime love interest, Nora? If Upload season 3s trailer is anything to go by, the answer is: not well.

Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Navajo Police: Class 57 (Max)

Recent films on indigenous American culture have focused on the troubled relationship between Native Americans and the US government, but Navajo Police: Class 57 which is now streaming in its entirety on Max offers a different perspective.

This three-part production gives unprecedented insight into the Navajo
Nations police academy, focusing specifically on the journey of several young cadets as they develop from wide-eyed trainees into full-blown reservation officers.

Critics havent had a chance to weigh in on Navajo Police: Class 57 just yet, but the documentarys truly unique subject matter should be enough to make it worth watching.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (October 27)

Date:
Fri, 27 Oct 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Description:
From star-studded medical dramas to new nature documentaries, theres plenty
to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Given that Halloween is just around the corner, we were expecting this
weekend to offer up a veritable smorgasbord of horror-themed new movies and
TV shows, but the likes of Netflix , Prime Video and Max have seemingly resisted the urge to get spooky.

Thats not to say there arent any scary stories to enjoy over the next few days, mind. Apple TV Plus , for instance, has The Enfield Poltergeist the latest adaptation of the infamous 1970s haunting while Five Nights at Freddy's makes its long-awaited debut on Peacock .

Below, youll find our pick of the best new movies and TV shows to watch on streaming services this weekend. Happy Halloween, folks! Pain Hustlers (Netflix)

If youre in the mood for a star-studded, satirical takedown of Big Pharma
this weekend, look no further than Pain Hustlers on Netflix.

This new Netflix movie which is loosely based on a 2018 New York Times article of the same name comes from Harry Potter director David Yates and follows a high-school dropout (Emily Blunt) whose new job at a struggling pharmaceutical start-up takes a turn for the illegal.

Chris Evans also starts in Pain Hustlers , which critics have described as a formulaic drama on a subject that has already been thoroughly explored by other, more serious-minded movies. Ouch. Still, praise has been directed towards Emily Blunts mesmerizing performance as Liza, so perhaps this one could make our best Netflix movies list, after all.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Life on Our Planet (Netflix)

Nothing comes close to a David Attenborough-narrated nature documentary, but Netflix has got the next best thing: a Morgan Freeman-narrated nature documentary.

From executive producer Steven Spielberg and the Emmy Award-winning team behind Our Planet which, ironically, is narrated by David Attenborough Life on Our Planet examines, well, life on our planet, from the prehistoric era to the Ice Age to the present day.

Set across eight episodes and four billion (!) years, this docuseries has
been described as natural history as youve never seen it before, so anyone with even a passing interest in animals and evolution should tune in. Critics hated the CGI, mind you.

Now available to stream on Netflix. The Enfield Poltergeist (Apple TV Plus)

Apple is the latest production company to take a stab at dramatizing the Enfield haunting, the infamous claim of supernatural activity which took
place between 1977 and 1979 in Enfield, London ( The Conjuring 2 is another recent example).

The difference, though, is that this four-part series combines fictional reenactments with original recordings allegedly taken from the house itself, which should add a whole new layer of creepy. Critics have called The Enfield Poltergeist a clever and powerful piece of television, albeit one that takes
a while to get going.

Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Five Nights at Freddy's (Peacock)

Joining The Enfield Poltergeist in this weekends Halloween-themed double bill is Five Nights at Freddy's on Peacock.

The first film adaptation of the 2014 video game of the same name, Five
Nights at Freddy's centers on a decommissioned, circus-like pizza parlor
whose creepy animatronic characters are not as lifeless as they seem. Josh Hutcherson, Matthew Lillard and Elizabeth Lail star.

Unfortunately, it doesnt seem like the terror of Five Nights at Freddy's the video game translates all that well into Five Nights at Freddy's the film. Critics have called this one about as scary as Barney the purple dinosaur,
but fans of the original story will surely find plenty of nostalgia to enjoy here.

Now available to stream on Peacock. Fellow Travelers (Paramount Plus)

The long-awaited dramatization of Tomas Mallon's decades-spanning novel, Fellow Travelers , begins streaming on Paramount Plus this Sunday.

This love story-cum-political thriller charts the romance of two very different men who meet in McCarthy-era Washington. One (played by Matt Bomer) is a well-respected politician, the other (played by Jonathan Bailey) is a young man brimming with idealism, and this eight-part series follows the pair through the Vietnam War protests of the 1960s, the drug-fuelled disco
hedonism of the 1970s and the AIDS crisis of the 1980s.

Suffice to say, critics loved Fellow Travelers its been described as an epic gay love story that's as heart-wrenching as it is heartwarming so this one seems like a shoo-in for a spot on our list of the best Paramount Plus shows
.

Available to stream on Paramount Plus from Sunday. The Gilded Age season 2 (Max)

HBOs acclaimed New York-set period drama, The Gilded Age , returns for its highly-anticipated second season on Max this weekend.

New episodes find the old-money van Rhijn sisters (played by Christine Baranski and Cynthia Nixon) once again struggling to come to terms with the popularity of new-money power couple the Russells (played by Carrie Coon and Morgan Spector), so its safe to expect more fork-tongued domestic drama.

The first episode of The Gilded Age season 2 will become available to stream on Max from Sunday evening (thats Monday morning in the UK), with its remaining seven installments set to land weekly through December 17.

Available to stream on Max from Sunday. Hot Potato: The Story of The Wiggles (Prime Video)

Okay, this is perhaps the niche-est recommendation weve ever made in our weekly streaming list, but if you happen to be a huge fan of Australian children's music group The Wiggles, then boy does Prime Video have a documentary for you this weekend.

Through decades of personal archive material and intimate access to their sell-out shows, Hot Potato: The Story of The Wiggles tells the story of how Anthony Field, Murray Cook, Greg Page and Jeff Fatt shot to fame as unlikely music and TV megastars.

Now available to stream on Prime Video.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (November 10)

Date:
Fri, 10 Nov 2023 15:00:00 +0000

Description:
From mind-bending psychological thrillers to returning sci-fi shows, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Its a decidedly varied affair on streaming services this weekend, with Netflixs new satirical thriller The Killer headlining a crop of new arrivals that also includes a game show, a period drama and yet another biographical docuseries.

The game show in question is 007: Road to a Million on Prime Video , a James Bond-themed take on Survivor , while For All Mankind and The Santa Clauses return for their fourth and second seasons on Apple TV Plus and Disney Plus , respectively.

Below, youll find our pick of the best new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix , Prime Video, Disney Plus and more this weekend. The Killer
(Netflix)

David Finchers acclaimed psychological thriller series, Mindhunter , may not be returning for a third and final season, but the directors latest feature-length offering, The Killer , does at least make its streaming debut on Netflix this weekend.

This dark and brooding adaptation of the French graphic novel series by
Alexis "Matz" Nolent stars Michael Fassbender as an unnamed, yoga-practicing, The Smiths-listening assassin who finds himself unexpectedly hunted by his
own employers after a contract goes awry.

Tilda Swinton, Charles Parnell and Arliss Howard also star in The Killer , which critics have hailed as a return to form for both Fincher and
Fassbender. Suffice to say, this new Netflix movie sounds like a shoo-in for
a spot on our list of the best Netflix movies of 2023.

Now available to stream on Netflix. 007: Road to a Million (Prime Video)

Brian Cox swaps the Succession boardroom for game show drama in 007: Road to
a Million , which begins streaming on Prime Video this weekend.

This eight-part, James Bond-themed competition series follows nine teams across the globe as they compete in various mental and physical challenges to win a 1 million prize. Expect Aston Martins, helicopters, car chases, runaway trains, and explosions galore.

Reviews for 007: Road to a Million have been decidedly mixed so far, ranging from shoddy, boring and soulless to irresistibly fun, but even if it doesn't make our list of the best Prime Video shows of the year, the series huge budget and Hollywood backing should make it a spectacle.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. The Buccaneers (Apple TV Plus)

Apple TV Plus gets a new (and quite possibly its first?) period drama this weekend in the form of The Buccaneers , which looks set to be the streamers Bridgerton rival.

Adapted from Edith Whartons novel of the same name, this eight-episode series follows a group of wealthy young American girls who head to London for debutante season during the 1870s. Kristine Frseth, Christina Hendricks, Alisha Boe and Josie Totah star for director Susanna White, who helmed
several episodes of Andor .

As with Bridgerton before it, critics have described The Buccaneers as a lavish period drama that feels fresh and modern, so this is definitely one to check out if youre a fan of 19th-century domestic drama. The shows first
three episodes are available to stream now, with its remaining five installments set to arrive weekly every Wednesday.

Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. For All Mankind season 4 (Apple TV Plus)

For All Mankind was hailed as the best Apple TV Plus show when the streaming platform launched back in 2019, and the acclaimed, decades-spanning sci-fi series returns for its fourth season this weekend.

New episodes pick up another eight years down the line, in 2003, and focus on the struggles of the working class on Mars, with wealth inequality and exploitative working practices now rife at the Happy Valley colony. Daniel Stern, Tyner Rushing and Toby Kebbell join the shows cast as new characters.

The critical reception to For All Mankind season 4 has been mixed so far,
with some reviewers calling it a giant misstep and others a spectacular triumph, but existing series fans will likely find plenty more alternate history intrigue to enjoy here.

Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. The Santa Clauses season 2 (Disney Plus)

Tim Allen reprises his role as Santa Clause for the fifth time this weekend, as The Santa Clauses returns for its second season on Disney Plus.

After Scott and his family successfully saved Christmas (again) in The Santa Clauses season 1, new episodes find the former marketing director turning his attention towards training his son Calvin to eventually take over the family business.

The first two episodes of The Santa Clauses season 2 are available to stream now on Disney Plus, with the remaining four installments due to land weekly every Wednesday.

Now available to stream on Disney Plus. Robbie Williams (Netflix)

The first of two biographical documentary series to feature on this weeks list, Robbie Williams is now streaming on Netflix.

As with Beckham before it, this four-part feature delves deep into the life, career and psyche of its titular star, with 30 years of never-before-seen archive footage painting a raw, honest and real picture of British superstar Robbie Williams.

Robbie Williams is executive produced by Oscar-winning documentarian Asif Kapadia ( Amy , Senna , Diego Maradona ), so it may well earn a spot on our list of the best Netflix documentaries .

Now available to stream on Netflix. Albert Brooks: Defending My Life (Max)

Acclaimed filmmaker Rob Reiner ( Stand By Me , This Is Spinal Tap , When
Harry Met Sally ) directs this in-depth look at the life and career of underappreciated actor-comedian Albert Brooks.

Featuring an extended conversation between Reiner and Brooks himself, Albert Brooks: Defending My Life is a warm and wonderful trip down memory lane for those who know Brooks work, and a grand introduction for those who dont, according to critics.

Now available to stream on Max.

Fri, 01 Dec 2023 15:00:00 +0000

Description:
From star-studded Dickens adaptations to returning thriller series, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Weve been up to our ears in Black Friday deals content here at TechRadar in recent days, but with the November sales season now firmly in the rear
window, well gladly join you in kicking back to watch some of the best new movies and TV shows available to stream this weekend.

Headlining the latest crop of arrivals is The Artful Dodger on Hulu , an Australia-set Dickens adaptation starring Love Actually alumnus Thomas Brodie-Sangster, while May December and Candy Cane Lane debut on Netflix and Prime Video , respectively.

Below, youll find our pick of the biggest new movies and TV shows to stream
on Netflix, Max, Prime Video, and more this weekend. The Artful Dodger (Hulu)

December is famous for bringing the (very different) work of Mariah Carey and Charles Dickens to the fore, but the latters A Christmas Carol classic has been usurped by a much fresher Dickensian tale this year: The Artful Dodger .

Set in 1850s Australia, this eight-episode (unofficial) Oliver Twist sequel centers on the later years of pickpocket-turned-surgeon Jack Dawkins, aka the Artful Dodger (played here by Thomas Brodie-Sangster). David Thewlis also stars as Fagin, who coaxes the series titular anti-hero back into a life of crime.

Critics have described The Artful Dodger as breezy and a very good time, so
it could well rank among the best Hulu shows of the year. UK viewers will
have to wait for the series debut on Disney Plus early next year.

Now available to stream on Hulu in the US. May December (Netflix, Sky
Cinema)

Nothing says Oscar season like a Natalie Portman/Julianne Moore two-hander, and May December has arrived on Netflix in the US and Sky Cinema in the UK to stake its claim as a 2024 awards nominee.

This Todd Haynes-directed drama focuses on Gracie (Julianne Moore), a happily married woman whose controversial past with her much younger husband, Joe (Charles Melton), comes back to haunt her when a Hollywood actress (Natalie Portman) begins researching the couple for a movie role.

May December debuted at the Cannes Film Festival to enthusiastic reviews, so it has the makings of being one of the best Netflix movies to stream this month.

Now available to stream on Netflix in the US and Sky Cinema in the UK. Candy Cane Lane (Prime Video)

The first of this years new Christmas movies and the first-ever festive feature to star comedy legend Eddie Murphy is Candy Cane Lane on Prime
Video.

This 90-minute family film sees Murphy play Chris Carver, a competitive
family man who in a desperate attempt to win the local neighborhood home decorating contest unknowingly makes a deal with an evil elf (Jillian Bell). Naturally, chaos ensues.

Tracee Ellis Ross, Nick Offerman, Ken Marino and Robin Thede also star in Candy Cane Lane , which critics have described as a movie that swings between manic and sedative.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. Slow Horses season 3 (Apple TV Plus)

Apple TV Plus well-reviewed espionage satire, Slow Horses , returns for its six-episode third season this weekend.

This latest entry is adapted from the third novel in Mick Herrons Slough
House series, Real Tigers , and kicks off with a Bond-esque chase through the streets of Istanbul. Things quickly go awry, and Lamb (Gary Oldman), River (Jack Lowden), Standish (Saskia Reeves) and Diana (Kristin Scott Thomas) are once again drawn into a globe-trotting conspiracy.

The first two episodes of Slow Horses season 3 which critics have described as polished and better than ever are now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. The shows remaining four installments will arrive weekly every
Wednesday through December 27.

The second of this weeks holiday-themed recommendations is The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday , which is now streaming on Netflix.

forced to rekindle the holiday spirit after ruining the citys annual Santa Claus parade.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Family Switch (Netflix)

Body-swap comedies are nothing new, but while 2003s Freaky Friday featured a mother-daughter switch, and Big saw Tom Hanks Josh inhabit the body of his future self, Netflixs Family Switch goes one step further than both movies.

Starring Ed Helms and Jennifer Garner, this new Netflix movie which is adapted from the 2010 children's book Bedtime for Mommy centers on a tech-obsessed husband and wife who involuntarily switch places with their two kids after an astrological reader highlights the error of their ways.

Suffice to say, Family Switch has received a lukewarm reception from critics, but itll no doubt provide some light-hearted enjoyment for anyone looking to switch their brain off for 90 minutes.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Bookie (Max)

Charlie Sheen stars in Chuck Lorre's latest comedy series, Bookie , which begins streaming on Max this weekend.

This eight-part production centers on Danny (Sebastian Maniscalco), a charismatic bookmaker who struggles to navigate the impending legalization of sports gambling, as well as his increasingly unstable clients, family and co-workers.

Description:
From star-studded psychological thrillers to returning sci-fi series, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

December has so far proven pretty lackluster in the festive content department, but we have at least been spoiled for choice when it comes to original (i.e. franchise-free) new movies and TV shows to stream.

That trend continues this weekend on Netflix , Max, Prime Video and the rest, with psychological thriller Leave the World Behind leading the charge on the former streamer, and Culprits making its debut on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK.

Below, youll find our pick of the biggest new movies and TV shows to stream
on Netflix, Max, Prime Video, and more this weekend. Leave the World Behind (Netflix)

Netflix has made a name for itself in the psychological thriller category,
and Leave the World Behind bears all the hallmarks of another home run for
the streamer.

This mind-bending mystery adapted from the 2020 novel of the same name by
Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail centers on a New York family whose weekend trip to a remote vacation home is disrupted (and we mean really disrupted) when
two strangers arrive at their door bearing news of a blackout.

Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, Mahershala Ali, Myha'la Herrold and Kevin Bacon all star in Leave the World Behind , which critics have described as a cracking apocalyptic thriller. By the sounds of things, this could be one of the best Netflix movies of 2023.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Doctor Who: The Giggle (Disney Plus, BBC iPlayer)

The third and final Doctor Who 60th anniversary special episode, Doctor Who: The Giggle , comes to Disney Plus in the US and BBC iPlayer in the UK this Saturday.

David Tennant's Fourteenth Doctor and Catherine Tate's Donna Noble bow out by coming face to face with Neil Patrick Harris sadistic villain, The Toymaker; an iconic Doctor Who character from the early years of the decades-spanning sci-fi series.

Plot details and critical reactions have been kept under wraps for this one, but Doctor Who fans can rest assured that Tennant's second spell as the titular Time Lord will end with a bang.

Available to stream on Disney Plus from Saturday. Your Christmas or Mine 2 (Prime Video)

Prime Videos festive culture-clash rom-com, Your Christmas or Mine , reviewed poorly upon its release in December last year, but that clearly didnt deter Amazon executives from commissioning a sequel to James and Hayleys mishap-laden love story.

Your Christmas or Mine 2 sees the young couple jetting off to a luxury ski resort for a festive family getaway, but things quickly go awry when a
booking mix-up sends their respective parents to the wrong accommodation (Airbnb with a goat, anyone?).

Suffice to say, this instantly forgettable follow-up hasnt fared much better with the critics, but Your Christmas or Mine 2 might still provide some enjoyable escapism nonetheless.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie (Peacock)

Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie sees Tony Shalhoub return as detective Adrian Monk in this feature-length sequel to the characters long-running USA Network series, which last aired in 2009.

This Peacock-exclusive film finds Monk charged with solving one last, very personal case involving his beloved stepdaughter Molly. Ted Levine, Melora Hardin, Traylor Howard, Jason Gray-Stanford and Hector Elizondo also reprise their roles from the beloved noughties series.

Now available to stream on Peacock. Culprits (Hulu, Disney Plus)

Culprits , a new British heist thriller from I Care a Lot director J Blakeson, begins streaming this weekend on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK.

This eight-part series centers on a pair of reformed thieves, Dianne (Gemma Arterton) and Joe (Nathan Stewart-Jarrett), whose criminal past comes back to haunt them when an assassin begins targeting members of their former bank-robbing group.

Sure, that synopsis makes Culprits sound a tad unoriginal, but critics have nonetheless described this uber-slick series as having plenty of style and substance. Might this be one of the best Hulu shows (or best Disney Plus
shows ) of 2023?

Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK. World War II: From the Frontlines (Netflix)

The first of this weeks two documentary recommendations is World War II: From the Frontlines , which is now streaming in its entirety on Netflix.

Narrated by Star Wars alumnus John Boyega, this six-part series brings World War II to life like never before through a unique combination of vividly enhanced archival footage and voices from all sides of the conflict.

Honestly, it looks fantastic, so dont be surprised to see World War II: From the Frontlines crop up on our list of the best Netflix documentaries in the coming weeks.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Murder in Boston: Roots, Rampage, and Reckoning (Max)

True crime fans, listen up. The second of this weeks documentary picks is Murder in Boston: Roots, Rampage, and Reckoning , which is now streaming on Max.

Episode one, Roots, is available now, with the remaining two installments set to arrive weekly every Monday through December 18. Suffice to say, this one looks grisly.

Now available to stream on Max.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (December 15)

Date:
Fri, 15 Dec 2023 15:00:55 +0000

Description:
From blockbuster summer movies to family-friendly animated adventures, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Its the final weekend before Christmas (yay!), but if youre not ready to
crack open the eggnog just yet, streamers are continuing to offer a healthy slate of decidedly non-festive content in the run-up to the big day.

Leading the charge this week is Barbie on Max, Greta Gerwigs industry-shaking fantasy comedy, and Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget , a long-awaited Netflix sequel to Aardmans 2000 stop-motion classic. Netflix subscribers can also enjoy the second half of The Crown s sixth and final season, while Reacher season 2 begins streaming on Prime Video .

Below, youll find our pick of the biggest new movies and TV shows to stream
on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend. Barbie (Max)

This is not a drill: Barbie the highest-grossing movie of 2023 and the most successful Warner Bros. movie of all time is now streaming on Max.

If you somehow managed to miss the wall-to-wall coverage of Greta Gerwig's subversive satire over summer, this star-studded picture centers on an inquisitive Barbie doll (played by Margot Robbie) whose colorful and
seemingly perfect existence is called into question following a trip to the (decidedly less perfect) real world. Ryan Gosling stars alongside Robbie as Ken, with Will Ferrell, Kate McKinnon, America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Emma Mackey and many, many more A-listers among the film's supporting cast.

Suffice to say, this is a big deal for Max subscribers, whose library of best Max movies just got an envy-inducing upgrade. If you're in the UK viewers, you'll have to wait a little longer to stream Barbie from the comfort of your own Mojo Dojo Casa House, but we'd expect to see the movie added to Sky
Cinema soon.

Now available to stream on Max. Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget (Netflix)

Its been almost 24 years since the Chicken Run gang broke out of Tweedys
farm, and now thanks to Netflix we get to see what happened next.

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget picks up some years after the events of Aardman's 2000 classic, with Ginger, Rocky, Babs et al. living a peaceful existence beyond the wire fence. But when a familiar threat emerges, the chickens must rally together (again) to protect their newfound quietude.

Returning voice cast members include Jane Horrocks, Imelda Stauntonm and Lynn Ferguson, with Thandiwe Newton, Bella Ramsey, Zachary Levi and Nick Mohammed among the newcomers. Critics have described this long-awaited sequel as faster, zanier and more ambitious than the original, so it sounds like a shoo-in for a spot on our best Netflix movies list.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Reacher season 2 (Prime Video)

Lee Childs creatine-filled action hero, Jack Reacher, returns for more face-mashing action on Prime Video this weekend.

Adapted from the authors 11th Jack Reacher novel, Bad Luck and Trouble , Reacher season 2 sees the series titular vigilante pulled back into the fray when a member of his former army unit is murdered. Not content to take the facts at face value, Reacher embarks on an anything-it-takes mission to uncover the truth.

Critics have described Reacher s sophomore season as uncool, old-fashioned, and really entertaining, so it sounds like one of the best Prime Video shows has held fast in the quality department. The first three (of eight) episodes are available to stream now.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. The Crown season 6 (Netflix)

The Crown season 6 and indeed The Crown , period concludes on Netflix this weekend with its final four episodes.

These last entries in the long-running royal drama continue to chronicle the lengthy fallout from Princess Dianas untimely death in 1997. Elizabeth Debicki, Dominic West and Imelda Staunton reprise their roles as Diana,
Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth II, respectively, while newcomers for season 6 part 2 include Meg Bellamy as Kate Middleton and Ed McVey as Prince William.

The critical reception to The Crown season 6 has been decidedly mixed, with some reviewers describing it as wistful and restrained, and others calling it ill-judged and predictable. Still, existing series fans will likely find plenty of familiar royal drama to enjoy here.

Now available to stream on Netflix. The Family Plan (Apple TV Plus)

Mark Wahlberg returns to classic-Mark-Wahlberg-character action this weekend in The Family Plan on Apple TV Plus .

Directed by HBO veteran Simon Cellan Jones, this new action comedy centers on an elite government assassin-turned-family man forced to take his wife, teen daughter, teen son, and 10-month-old baby on an impromptu cross-country road trip when enemies from his past track him down.

Michelle Monaghan and Ciarn Hinds also star in The Family Plan , whose poor critical reception means it probably wont feature on our list of the best Apple TV movies of 2023.

Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Carol & The End of the World (Netflix)

Netflixs new adult animated comedy series, Carol & The End of the World , is now available to stream in its entirety.

Created by former Community writer Dan Guterman, this 10-episode series set in a world where Earth is about to be obliterated by another planet centers on the life of a quiet, uncomfortable woman who struggles to reckon with humanitys imminent extinction.

Martha Kelly heads up the shows voice cast, which also includes Bridget Everett, Michael Chernus, Beth Grant, Mel Rodriguez, and guest stars Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Stephen Colbert and Tim Heidecker.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Yu Yu Hakusho (Netflix)

Netflix has a real thing for anime at the minute, and the streamers latest manga-inspired offering is Yu Yu Hakusho , which begins streaming this weekend.

Five years in the making and based on the popular anime series of the same name, this live-action re-telling centers on Yusuke Urameshi, a young man who
having died saving a little boy is sent back to Earth as a demon-fighting detective of the spirit world.

Critics have described Yu Yu Hakusho as a rare tonal mishmash that works, so anime fans old and new should find plenty to enjoy here.

Now available to stream on Netflix. You might also like 6 new Netflix shows in 2023 with 100% scores on Rotten Tomatoes Catch these 5 movies leaving Netflix in December 2023 with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes (plus 3 more classics) You can now watch Paramount Plus' live-action Halo TV show for free on YouTube

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (December 22)

Date:
Fri, 22 Dec 2023 15:00:55 +0000

Description:
From big-budget sci-fi epics to heroic fantasy adventures, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

DCs Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is now playing in theaters worldwide, but if youre the proud owner of a Netflix or Disney Plus subscription, youd be forgiven for staying indoors this weekend given the quality of on-demand entertainment at your disposal.

Heading up this weeks crop of streaming recommendations is the first entry in Zack Snyders new big-budget movie franchise, Rebel Moon , which is joined on Netflix by Maestro , another years-in-the-making passion project, this time from actor-director Bradley Cooper.

season of Marvel's What If...? on Disney Plus, while Percy Jackson and the Olympians also makes its streaming debut this weekend.

Below, youll find our pick of the biggest new movies and TV shows to stream
on Netflix, Prime Video , Max , and more this weekend. Rebel Moon Part One:
A Child of Fire (Netflix)

The first installment in Zack Snyders long-awaited space opera, Rebel Moon (also known as Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire ), crashes its way onto Netflix this weekend.

This big-budget sci-fi epic follows Kora (Sofia Boutella), a mysterious woman with a tragic past who, after being taken in by a remote farming community on the edge of the galaxy, is dispatched to seek out warriors from neighboring planets in a bid to defeat a new space-faring superpower. If that sounds a
lot like Star Wars , thats because Rebel Moon began life as a Star Wars
pitch, but as we learned in our interview with Zack Snyder himself, the films influences are much more vast and varied.

Suffice to say, Rebel Moon has left critics divided, but in our own Rebel
Moon review , we described Snyders latest as an explosive and absorbing sci-fi-centric epic thats let down by an anti-climatic aura (so while it may be one of the best Netflix movies for spectacle, perhaps not for story satisfaction). A sequel, Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver , is scheduled
to release on April 19, 2024.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Percy Jackson and the Olympians (Disney Plus)

The latest (but first serialized) attempt to adapt Rick Riordans best-selling fantasy novel series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians , begins streaming on Disney Plus this weekend.

This eight-episode series centers on a 12-year-old modern demigod, Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell), who while coming to terms with his newfound divine powers must restore order to Olympus when Zeus accuses him of stealing his master lightning bolt. Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Jason Mantzoukas, Lin-Manuel Miranda and the late Lance Reddick (in his final TV role) are also among the shows cast.

In our interview with Riordan himself, the author told us of his extensive involvement in Disneys new series, which in our Percy Jackson and the Olympians review we described as a watchable, albeit slightly over-serious
TV adaptation. Stay tuned to see whether this one makes it onto our list of the best Disney Plus shows .

Now available to stream on Disney Plus. Maestro (Netflix)

Bradley Cooper makes his prosthetic-aided play for next years Best Actor
Oscar in Maestro , which is now streaming on Netflix.

This new Netflix movie which represents actor-cum-filmmakers first directorial project since 2018's A Star Is Born charts the lifelong romantic relationship between famed composer Leonard Bernstein (played by Cooper himself) and actress Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein (Carey Mulligan).
Matt Bomer, Sarah Silverman, Maya Hawke and Josh Hamilton also star in this sweeping drama about Bernstein's struggles to reconcile the many warring
parts of himself.

Critics have described Maestro as towering and fearless, with Mulligan, in particular, earning plaudits for her career-best performance.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Marvel's What If...? season 2 (Disney Plus)

Marvels alternate-timeline What If...? series resumes with its highly-anticipated second season on Disney Plus this weekend.

Per the shows official synopsis, What If...? season 2 continues the journey

Now available to stream on Peacock. James May: Our Man in India (Prime
Video)

In light of the success of Clarksons Farm (a third season of which is on the way soon), another member of The Grand Tour s popular presenting trio, James May, heads up his own (or rather, another season of his own) Prime Video series this weekend.

Across six episodes, James May: Our Man in India follows the British
presenter as he explores the ins and outs of the titular country. Starting by the Arabian Sea and finishing at the Bay of Bengal, [James] journey will
cross incredible landscapes, from the baking deserts of Rajasthan to the dramatic Himalayan foothills, Amazon says.

Critics havent had a chance to review James May: Our Man in India just yet, but given the surprisingly wholesome nature of Clarksons Farm , were inclined to recommend this one to anyone in need of an easy watch this weekend.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. Gwyneth vs Terry: The Ski Crash
Trial (Max)

If youre someone who cares deeply about the recently concluded Gwyneth
Paltrow vs Terry Sanderson ski crash trial, boy does Max have a new documentary just for you.

Called (wait for it) Gwyneth vs Terry: The Ski Crash Trial , this new Max feature recounts the sensational courtroom drama that took the world by
storm. Now, we wouldnt necessarily describe Paltrows case in those terms, but anyone who enjoyed the mindless entertainment of Netflixs Depp v. Heard documentary may find similarly enjoyment here.

Leading the charge this weekend is Emerald Fennells controversial new
thriller Saltburn , which recently landed on Prime Video following a headline-grabbing theatrical run.

This holiday special episode brings The Doctors newest companion, Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), into the fray, and after a typically Whovian introduction, the pair find themselves on a mission to foil horde of baby-stealing goblins.

In the interest of avoiding spoilers, well keep further plot details under wraps, but Doctor Who fans can rest assured that Gatwas first standalone
spell as the titular Time Lord kicks things off with a bang.

After a surprisingly successful theatrical run, Emerald Fennells new movie, Saltburn , is streaming on Prime Video (it actually became available last weekend, but we couldn't fit it in alongside our other recommendations !).

This Talented Mr. Ripley -style drama stars Barry Keoghan as Oliver Quick, an Oxford University student whose infatuation with wealthy collegemate Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi) leads to a summer of unbridled debauchery (well let you discover the details for yourself).

Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant and Carey Mulligan also star in Saltburn , which critics have described as an inconclusive class satire, but also great fun. Might this one earn a spot on our list of the best Prime Video movies of 2023?

Now available to stream on Prime Video. Berlin (Netflix)

Pedro Alonso reprises his role as the carefree, sophisticated and slightly psychotic Berlin (aka Andrs de Fonollosa) in Netflixs latest Money Heist spin-off series, the aptly-titled Berlin .

This prequel to the streamers 2017 Spanish-language phenomenon which also comes from original creator lex Pina finds Berlin in Paris as he and a masterful gang of thieves prepare to steal 44 million-worth of jewels in one night.

Pina himself says Berlin is a trip through the golden age of the character, when he robbed around Europe crazy in love, so its safe to expect a fair amount of tension, romance and humor from this new Netflix series.

Pokmon fans, your time has come: a new stop-motion animated series, Pokmon Concierge , is now streaming on Netflix.

Set on a tropical island resort for Pokmon, this four-episode series centers on Haru, a new-in-the-job hotel concierge who welcomes and interacts with visiting Pokmon and their owners. But as she quickly discovers, caring for
the likes of Pikachu, Eevee, Magikarp and Dragonite is no easy task.

new and old Pokmon fans should find plenty to enjoy here.

Ricky Gervais is an understandably divisive figure, but fans of the British comedians no-holds-barred style will be pleased to learn that his latest special, Armageddon , is now streaming on Netflix.

However, the foundation was soon shut down following multiple charges of child abuse and negligent homicide over the death of a 16-year-old girl.

So, what really happened in the desert? Thats what Hell Camp: Teen Nightmare promises to reveal and it looks like it could be one of the best Netflix documentaries for some time.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (January 5)

Date:
Fri, 05 Jan 2024 15:18:31 +0000

Description:
From new psychological thrillers to heart-stopping documentaries, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Happy New Year, folks! On the at-home entertainment front, the likes of Rebel Moon , Saltburn and Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget ensured 2023 ended with a bang, but the new movies and TV shows havent let up as we move into the first weekend of 2024.

Netflix leads the way this week with four (four!) recommendations, though Prime Video and Max subscribers have something to enjoy, too, in the form of new psychological thriller Foe and nostalgia-inducing documentary Time Bomb Y2K , respectively.

Below, we've rounded up the seven biggest new movies and TV shows to stream
on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend. Fool Me Once (Netflix)

Harlan Coben adaptations are commonplace on Netflix these days, and the streamers latest novel-inspired offering, Fool Me Once , is now available to stream in its entirety.

This eight-episode British thriller adapted from Cobens 2016 novel of the same name centers on a windowed single mother (Michelle Keegan) whose murdered husband (Richard Armitage, returning for his third Netflix/Coben production) re-enters her life in inexplicable circumstances.


Joanna Lumley, Joe Armstrong and Jade Anouka also star in Fool Me Once ,
which critics have slammed as being convoluted, over-the-top and implausible. That said, Cobens stories arent known for their Oscar-winning dialogue, so if youre simply looking to switch your brain off for a few hours, Fool Me Once could be worth your time (it wont, however, be making our list of the best Netflix shows ).

Now available to stream on Netflix. Foe (Prime Video)

Despite the understated nature of his film and TV projects this far, Paul Mescal is having a bit of a moment right now and the Irish actor continues his march towards the mainstream this weekend with Foe on Prime Video.

This Black Mirror-style adaptation of Iain Reid's 2018 novel stars Mescal and Saoirse Ronan as Hen and Junior, a married couple whose lives are turned upside down when a stranger turns up at their door to deliver some unsettling news: Junior has been drafted to a large space station, while Hen will be
left in the company of a robot.

Critics have criticized Foe for being a familiar slab of sci-fi, but both Ronan and Mescal have earned plaudits for their captivating performances. Perhaps, then, this one will earn a spot on our list of the best Prime Video movies after all.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. Good Grief (Netflix)

Schitt's Creek alumnus Dan Levy heads up the cast of new Netflix movie Good Grief , which also marks the actors feature-length directorial debut.

This comedy-drama centers on a young man (Levy) who, in an attempt to grieve the death of his larger-than-life husband (Luke Evans), travels with his two best friends (Ruth Negga and Himesh Patel) to Paris for a weekend getaway.

Critics have described Good Grief as a gentle, genial watch, albeit one
bogged down by entirely artificial romcom dialogue, so were inclined to suggest that only Richard Curtis fans need apply here.

Now available to stream on Netflix. The Brothers Sun (Netflix)

Michelle Yeoh and Justin Chien lead the all-Asian cast of Netflixs newest gangster drama The Brothers Sun , which is now streaming in its entirety.

This eight-episode, darkly comedic action series which is set in both Taiwan and Los Angeles centers on a Taipei gangster who heads to America to protect his mother and brother after his triad-leading father is killed by an assassin.

Critics have described Michelle Yeoh as supreme and gloriously lethal in The Brothers Sun , which comes from the minds of Brad Falchuk (American Horror Story) and Byron Wu.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Society of the Snow (Netflix)

Sticking with Netflix, new survival drama Society of the Snow is now
available to stream.

This Spanish-language thriller (from The Orphanage director J.A. Bayona) recounts the harrowing true story of the 1972 Andes plane crash, which saw a Uruguayan rugby team left stranded in the mountains in sub-zero temperatures
for 72 days.

Society of the Snow is Spain's official Oscar submission for 2023, and reviewers have labeled the film a powerful retelling of a well-known story. Yellowjackets fans, this ones for you.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Time Bomb Y2K (Max)

This weeks documentary pick is Time Bomb Y2K on Max, which, if youre too
young to gather as much from the title, examines the mass hysteria
surrounding the year 2000 problem otherwise known as the 1999 doomsday computer glitch.

An all-archival production from filmmaking duo Marley McDonald and Brian Becker, Time Bomb Y2K recounts those pre-millennial anxieties and explores
how modern life has been dramatically transformed by the digital revolution.

UK viewers will find this one streaming on Sky and NOW TV.

Now available to stream on Max. 81st Golden Globes (Paramount Plus)

The 81st annual Golden Globes kick off at 8pm ET / 5pm PT this Sunday (or 1am GMT the following day in the UK), with the entire show streaming on Paramount Plus (if you have a Showtime package included with your subscription, that is).

Although the Globes have faded into relative obscurity these past few years, 2024 will play host to the most diverse and international crop of nominees in competition history (that being said, Oppenheimer and Barbie are still tipped to clean up the majority of this years awards).

Available to stream on Paramount Plus from Sunday. You might also like I can't wait for these 10 exciting TV shows in early 2024 DCU Chapter One:

Description:
From new detective thrillers to long-awaited superhero adventures, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

2024 is less than two weeks old, but streaming service bosses arent waiting around when it comes to dropping headline-grabbing new movies and TV shows.

Leading the charge this weekend is Marvels new superhero series, Echo , which is now available to stream in its entirety on Disney Plus and Hulu . Elsewhere, True Detective: Night Country begins streaming on Max , while Peacock subscribers can enjoy the return of Seth MacFarlanes foul-mouthed plushie in Ted .

Below, we've rounded up the seven biggest new movies and TV shows to stream
on Netflix , Prime Video , Max, and more this weekend. Echo (Disney Plus, Hulu)

Whichever way you slice it, 2023 was a horror show for Marvel, but the one-time super studio will be hoping that its first release of 2024, Echo , can bring a much-needed boost to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

This five-episode Hawkeye spin-off which is now available to stream in its entirety on Disney Plus and Hulu tells the bloody origin story of deaf Cheyenne hero Echo (aka Maya Lopez). Alaqua Cox reprises her role as the
shows titular ass-kicker, with Vincent D'Onofrio and Charlie Cox returning to the fold, too (as Kingpin and Daredevil, respectively).

In our Echo review , we described the new Marvel series as a gripping and gratuitously cruel crime story that feels like less of a homework assignment than previous MCU entries. We also interviewed the shows director, Sydney Freeland , who addressed comparisons made between Echo and Breaking Bad .

Now available to stream on Disney Plus and Hulu. True Detective: Night Country (Max)

The first season of True Detective is rightly hailed as one of the best TV shows ever made, so expectations are high for True Detective: Night Country , aka the fourth season of HBOs long-running anthology drama series.

True Detective season 4 (as it may as well be known) follows a new
detective, Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster), as she and her partner (Kali Reis) investigate the sudden disappearance of a group of scientists at a remote Alaskan research facility a place where the sun never rises.

Christopher Eccleston, John Hawkes and Fiona Shaw also star in True
Detective: Night Country , which critics have described as the kind of TV
bold enough, surprising enough, addictive enough and tenacious enough to capture national attention. Suffice to say, this could be one of the best Max shows for some time.

Available to stream on Max in the US from Sunday, and Sky in the UK from Monday. Ted (Peacock)

2012s Ted became the second highest-grossing R-rated comedy film of all time, so it was only a matter of time before Seth MacFarlanes foul-mouthed plushie made his way onto the small screen.

This new 1990s-set prequel series which is also called Ted takes viewers back to the teenage years of Teds likable-but-awkward owner, John Bennett (played here by Max Burkholder instead of Mark Wahlberg); a time when when Teds moment of fame has passed, but his penchant for mischief has not.

Critics have described the new series as filthy, offensive and god help us funny as ever, so perhaps comedy isnt dead after all? All seven episodes of Ted are now available to stream on Peacock.

Now available to stream on Peacock. Lift (Netflix)

Having originally meant to debut in August, Kevin Harts latest action-comedy, Lift , is now streaming on Netflix.

This new heist movie which comes from Fast & Furious director F. Gary Gray follows a professional thief (Hart) as he and his crew attempt to steal $500 million in gold from a plane-based vault 40,000 feet in the air. Sam Worthington, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Jean Reno, and Paul Anderson also star.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, critics have slammed Lift for being an Oceans Eleven knock-off with zero charm and terrible CGI, so its unlikely that this one
will be making our list of the best Netflix movies any time soon.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Criminal Record (Apple TV)

Peter Capaldi is no stranger to dark and brooding characters, and the former Doctor Who action reverts to type this weekend in Criminal Record on Apple TV Plus.

This eight-episode crime series follows two detectives one a seasoned
veteran (Capaldi), the other early in her career (Cush Jumbo) as they battle for control over a high-stakes murder investigation in London.

Both Capaldi and Jumbo have earned near-universal praise for their turns in this clever and timely corrupt cop thriller, so it looks like Apple TV Plus could have another winner on its hands. The shows first two episodes are available to stream now.

Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Role Play (Prime Video)

The Flight Attendant s Kaley Cuoco returns to screens this weekend in Prime Videos new action-thriller, Role Play .

This Thomas Vincent-directed movie centers on a married couple, Emma (Cuoco) and Dave (David Oyelowo), whose attempt to spice things up in the bedroom backfires when the formers secret life as an assassin is exposed.

Connie Neilsen and Bill Nighy also star in Role Play , which critics have described as a competent yet boringly unoriginal caper. But despite not being one of the best Prime Video movies of the year, its probably worth a go if youre simply looking to switch your brain off for two hours.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. Boy Swallows Universe (Netflix)

The second of this weeks Netflix-based recommendations is Boy Swallows Universe .

This seven-episode, Australia-set series which is based on the best-selling 2018 book of the same name follows a precocious boy (Felix Cameron) and his selectively mute brother (Lee Tiger Halley) as they grow up among a motley crew of outlaws and outcasts in a rough suburb of Brisbane.

If that synopsis sounds vague, thats because Boy Swallows Universe runs the gamut of its protagonists formative years, but the series has nonetheless
been praised for being a sprawling and one-of-a-kind coming of age story.

Now available to stream on Netflix. You might also like I can't wait for these 10 exciting TV shows in early 2024 DCU Chapter One: every upcoming DC movie and TV show Wednesday season 2: what we know about the Netflix show's return

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (February 2)

Date:
Fri, 02 Feb 2024 15:00:31 +0000

Description:
From rebooted buddy comedies to star-studded animated features, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Suffice to say, January was a strong month for new streaming content. The likes of Masters of the Air , Griselda and The Traitors proved and continue to prove the hottest topics of conversation, but if youre keen to talk about something (anything!) other than Harry Clarks cold-hearted betrayal of Mollie Pearce, February has got you covered.

Strangely, this month kicks off with a quartet of projects whose titles feature no less than two character names. Mr. & Mrs. Smith , Orion and the Dark , Feud: Capote vs. The Swans and Genius: MLK/X are now streaming on
Prime Video , Netflix , Hulu and Disney Plus , respectively (see what we mean?), with two new documentaries Alexander: The Making of a God and The Greatest Night in Pop rounding out this weeks crop of recommendations.

Below, we've rounded up the seven biggest new movies and TV shows to stream
on Netflix, Prime Video, Max , and more this weekend. Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Prime Video)

Amazons long-in-development series adaptation of the Brangelina-starring 2005 action comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith finally begins streaming on Prime Video this weekend.

Starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine (who stepped in for Phoebe Waller-Bridge following the latters withdrawal from the project), this eight-episode drama follows a pair of spies, posing as a married couple,
whose genuine feelings for one another risk compromising their cover.

John Turturro, Paul Dano, Michaela Coel, Sarah Paulson, Alexander Skarsgrd, and Ron Perlman also star in Mr. & Mrs. Smith , which critics have described as a glorious spy reboot. Whod have thought this one would make our list of the best Prime Video shows ?

Now available to stream on Prime Video. Orion and the Dark (Netflix)

Acclaimed screenwriter Charlie Kaufman ( Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless
Mind , Being John Malkovich ) turns his talents to animation this weekend in Netflixs Orion and the Dark .

This streaming-exclusive DreamWorks production which is based on Emma
Yarlett best-selling children's book of the same name centers on Orion, a nervous elementary school kid who befriends a physical manifestation of the dark (Paul Walter Hauser). Angela Bassett, Werner Herzog and Colin Hanks are among the films supporting voice cast.

Critics have likened the sweet and clever Orion and the Dark to Monsters Inc. , which is enough to convince us that its worthy of a spot on our best
Netflix movies list.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Feud: Capote vs. The Swans (Hulu)

The first installment in Ryan Murphys Feud anthology series, Feud: Bette and Joan , premiered way back in 2017, but a follow-up season has finally arrived on Hulu .

Adapted from Laurence Leamer's 2023 book Capote's Women , Feud: Capote vs.
The Swans charts the fallout of writer Truman Capotes unfinished novel Answered Prayers , which exposed the scandalous and hedonistic personal lives of several New York City socialites.

Tom Hollander stars as Capote, with Naomi Watts, Chlo Sevigny, Calista Flockhart, Demi Moore, Molly Ringwald and Diane Lane among those playing the authors scorned friends. The first two episodes of Feud: Bette and Joan are now available to stream on Hulu. Theres no UK release date for this one just yet, but Disney Plus seems the most likely destination.

Now available to stream on Hulu. Genius: MLK/X (Hulu, Disney Plus)

The fourth season of Nat Geos biographical anthology series puts the
spotlight on civil rights icons Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X.

Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Aaron Pierre play the respective title roles in Genius: MLK/X , which explores the contrasting ways in which its two subjects grappled with public attention, family issues and the ultimately all-too-real threats to their physical safety.

Critics have described the new series whose first two episodes are now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK as bold and ambitious, suggesting it could be among the best Hulu shows (and best Disney Plus shows) of the year so far.

Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK. Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12 (Max)

HBOs longest-running comedy series (and no doubt one of the best Max shows of all time), Curb Your Enthusiasm , begins its bittersweet 12th and final
season this Sunday.

New episodes will continue to chart the fictional-but-not-fictional Larry Davids misadventures throughout Los Angeles, with the likes of J.B. Smoove, Susie Essman, Jeff Garlin, Vince Vaughn, Cheryl Hines and Ted Danson also on hand to maintain the series tried-and-tested comedy formula.

Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12, which critics have described as still
funnier than almost anything currently on TV, will be available to stream on Max in the US and Sky in the UK from Sunday, February 4.

Available to stream on Max in the US and Sky in the UK from Sunday. Alexander: The Making of a God (Netflix)

The first of this weeks two documentary picks, Alexander: The Making of a God , is actually a sort of docudrama hybrid.

By combining talking heads with bloody, full-costume dramatizations, this six-part Netflix series aims to breathe new life into the legend of Alexander the Great, charting the historical figures radical transformation from
warrior prince to living god.

Now available to stream on Netflix. The Greatest Night in Pop (Netflix)

Sticking with the theme of new Netflix documentaries, The Greatest Night in Pop goes behind the scenes of the iconic "We Are the World" charity single, which was recorded by American supergroup USA for Africa in 1985.

This feature-length, Sundance-awarded production takes a look at how
producers Quincy Jones and Michael Omartian brought together the likes of Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner, Billy Joel and Diana Ross to make music history.

Critics have described The Greatest Night in Pop as a huge blast of Gen-X nostalgia, so it may well earn a spot on our list of the best Netflix documentaries .

Now available to stream on Netflix.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (February 9)

Date:
Fri, 09 Feb 2024 15:00:31 +0000

Description:
From returning sci-fi series to high-octane documentaries, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

No less than six different streaming services feature in this weeks list of recommendations, which is either a welcome testament to the diversity of todays on-demand entertainment, or a damning indictment of the industrys saturated nature.

Leading the charge is One Day on Netflix , a new series adaptation of David Nicholls beloved and bestselling romance novel, while Halo and Tokyo Vice return for their second seasons on Paramount Plus and Max , respectively. Elsewhere, Prime Video gets a live-action adaptation of popular manga The Battle of Tokyo Bay , while Suncoast a new Woody Harrelson-starring family drama makes its way to Hulu and Disney Plus .

Below, we've rounded up the seven biggest new movies and TV shows to stream
on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend. One Day (Netflix)

Having already been turned into a 2011 feature film, David Nicholls bestselling romance novel, One Day , gets the TV treatment on Netflix this weekend.

This 14-episode series stars Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall as Emma and Dexter; a pair of university friends who, after spending graduation night together, continue to meet for one day each year (voluntarily or otherwise).

Eleanor Tomlinson, Jonny Weldon and Tim McInnerny also star in One Day ,
which critics have lauded as a flawless romcom and the most bingeable show of the year. Dont be surprised if this makes it onto our best Netflix shows list very soon.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Halo season 2 (Paramount Plus)

The debut season of Paramounts live-action Halo TV show was visually impressive, but it struggled to establish an identity . Halo season 2,
though, looks set to right that wrong.

In this eight-episode sophomore outing, Master Chief John-117 (Pablo Schreiber) continues to lead his team of elite Spartans against the alien threat known as the Covenant. But when he discovers the Covenants plan to destroy humanitys greatest stronghold the Halo John must fight harder than ever to ensure the survival of his species.

Sure, that all sounds a little dramatic, but the Fall of Reach (as its known in the video games) is one of the most heart-wrenching events in the entire Halo franchise, so heres hoping that Halo season 2 can help the series truly establish itself as one of the best Paramount Plus shows of 2024.

Now available to stream on Paramount Plus. The Silent Service Season One - The Battle of Tokyo Bay (Prime Video)

Amazons live-action TV adaptation of Kaiji Kawaguchi's popular manga series The Silent Service begins streaming this weekend.

Combining scenes from the 2023 Japanese film The Silent Service with three hours of new content, The Silent Service Season One - The Battle of Tokyo Bay depicts the unpredictable actions of nuclear submarine captain Shiro Kaieda (Takao Ohsawa), who comes to question the morality of his job.

The first six episodes of the new series which hasnt yet been reviewed by critics are available to stream now on Prime Video. The shows remaining two episodes will arrive next Friday.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. Tokyo Vice season 2 (Max)

Sticking with the Tokyo theme, Michael Manns underrated HBO gangster drama, Tokyo Vice , returns for its second season on Max this weekend.

Mann himself is no longer involved as a director, but the series which is loosely based on journalist Jake Adelsteins 2009 memoir of the same name
once again finds Ansel Elgorts Adelstein getting in too deep with the
Japanese yakuza in 1990s Tokyo.

Tokyo Vice season 1 was undoubtedly one of the best Max shows of 2022, and critics have assured fans that season 2 remains expensive-looking, ambitious and one of the most finely rendered urban portraits on TV.

Now available to stream on Max. Suncoast (Hulu, Disney Plus)

If youre in the mood for a tearjerker this weekend, look no further than Suncoast , which is now streaming on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the
UK.

This Sundance-premiered semi-autobiographical film (from writer-director
Laura Chinn) centers on a teen girl ( The Last of Us Nico Parker) as she navigates a tricky home life with her terminally ill brother (Cree Kawa) and frequently emotional mother (Laura Linney).

Woodly Harrelson also stars in Suncoast , which critics have described as a so-so comedy drama thats reminiscent of minor-key, quirky-charming 90s dramedies.

Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK. Arctic Ascent with Alex Honnold (Hulu, Disney Plus)

The first of this weeks two documentary picks is Arctic Ascent with Alex Honnold , which is now available to stream in its entirety on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK.

This three-part National Geographic series follows world-famous climber Alex Honnold as he leads an expedition across Greenland to a) investigate the impact of climate change and b) make a death-defying first ascent of the countrys 4,000-foot Ingmikortilaq sea cliff.

Ahead of the series February 5 streaming premiere, we spoke to Honnold about the unique challenges posed by sub-zero temperatures and melting glaciers. Suffice to say, vertigo-prone viewers should avoid this one.

Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK. They Called Him Mostly Harmless (Max)

True crime fans, listen up: They Called Him Mostly Harmless is now streaming on Max.

This feature-length documentary centers on the true story behind Vance Rodriguez, a hiker nicknamed Mostly Harmless due to the lack of information surrounding him whose mysterious death in 2018 sparked an amateur investigation by curious internet sleuths.

By the sounds of things, They Called Him Mostly Harmless could prove a nice alternative to the best Netflix documentaries .

Now available to stream on Max.

Below, we've rounded up the seven biggest new movies and TV shows to stream
on Netflix, Prime Video, Max , and more this weekend. Oppenheimer (Peacock)

Arriving bang in the middle of awards season, Christopher Nolans masterful J. Robert Oppenheimer biopic is now streaming on Peacock in the US.

If you somehow managed to miss the wall-to-wall coverage of this star-studded masterpiece last summer, Oppenheimer recounts the events leading up to the creation of the atomic bomb in 1945, and the hearings that followed in the aftermath of its use during World War II. Cillian Murphy stars as the films titular physicist alongside Robert Downey Jr., Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Florence Pugh and many more A-listers.

In the UK, its been confirmed that Oppenheimer will make its Sky Cinema debut on April 12.

Now available to stream on Peacock. The New Look (Apple TV Plus)

Sticking with the World War II theme, Todd A. Kesslers historical drama
series The New Look begins streaming on Apple TV Plus this weekend.

This 10-episode biopic centers on the origins of the modern fashion industry in Nazi-occupied Paris. Specifically, The New Look recounts the exploits of Christian Dior (Ben Mendelsohn), who went toe-to-toe with Coco Chanel (Juliette Binoche) against a backdrop of political oppression.

Maisie Williams, John Malkovich, Emily Mortimer, Claes Bang and Glenn Close also star in The New Look , which critics have described as sumptuous and absorbing. Might this become one of the best Apple TV Plus shows ? Well be tuning in to find out the series first three episodes are available to
stream now on Apple TV Plus.

Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. The Vince Staples Show (Netflix)

Netflix's latest off-beat comedy series comes from rapper Vince Staples, who plays a scripted version of himself in The Vince Staples Show .

Loosely based on Staples life from his childhood in Long Beach, California
to his present-day career as a big-time rapper this five-part sitcom follows its titular star as he navigates a surrealist version of reality.

Sure, that all sounds suitably weird, but critics have lapped up The Vince Staples Show , calling it joyously weird and ludicrously suave. So, dont be surprised to see this one earn a spot on our list of the best Netflix shows soon.

Now available to stream on Netflix. The Grand Tour: Sand Job (Prime Video)

The trusty trio of Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond return to Prime Video for their latest vehicular misadventure this weekend.

The Grand Tour: Sand Job finds the hapless British presenters embarking on yet another perilous road trip, this time across the Sahara Desert in such famously rugged vehicles as a Maserati, a Jaguar and an Aston Martin what could go wrong?

If youve ever seen a Grand Tou r special before, you'll know exactly what to expect from this new feature: expletives, extreme terrain and, we suspect, a few minor explosions.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. Vigil season 2 (Peacock)

Joining Oppenheimer on Peacock this weekend is Vigil season 2, which aired in the UK to rave reviews at the end of last year.

New episodes of the BBC-produced drama series find Suranne Jones detective
Amy Silva on the case of a military drone exercise gone awry. Specifically, shes called in to investigate the unlawful airborne killing of civilians in the fictional, oil-rich Middle East dictatorship of Wudyan, whose 1bn partnership with the UK is threatened as a result.

Upon its initial release back in December, critics described Vigil season 2
as pacy and extremely good though some reviewers took issue with the new seasons distinct lack of submarine-based action.

Now available to stream on Peacock. Einstein and the Bomb (Netflix)

The first of this weeks two documentary picks is Einstein and the Bomb on Netflix.

Combining archive footage with fictional dramatizations not unlike Netflixs Alexander: The Making of a God this feature-length BBC production explores Albert Einsteins complex relationship with Hitler, Germany and the atomic
bomb in the lead up to (and during) World War II.

Critics have called Einstein and the Bomb a moving and thoughtful docudrama, which suggests it could be one of the best Netflix documentaries released so far in 2024.

Now available to stream on Netflix. The Truth About Jim (Max)

For all you true crime fans out there, The Truth About Jim is now streaming
on Max.

This four-part docuseries centers on Sierra Barters amateur investigation to discover whether her step-grandfather, Jim Mordecai a respected teacher with a secret history of sexual violence against women was also a notorious

Description:
From long-awaited live-action adaptations to returning zombie franchises, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Roll up! Roll up! For all you fantasy fans out there, theres yet another live-action adaptation of a beloved animated property to enjoy (or deride) this weekend in the form of Avatar: The Last Airbender , which is now streaming on Netflix .

Elsewhere, AMCs The Walking Dead franchise returns via The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live on AMC Plus, while Disney Plus fans can enjoy the third and final season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch .

Below, we've rounded up the seven biggest new movies and TV shows to stream
on Netflix, Prime Video , Max , and more this weekend. Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix)

This weeks headline streaming arrival is Avatar: The Last Airbender , a live-action Netflix remake of the popular Nickelodeon animated series of the same name.

Despite original creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino having dropped out of the project due to creative differences, this eight-part fantasy series sticks with the premise of its source material: A young boy known as the Avatar (George Cormier) must master the four elemental powers to save a world at war and fight a ruthless enemy bent on stopping him.

If youre not familiar with the Avatar universe, Avatar: The Last Airbender is a essentially martial-arts-fueled bonanza of magic and myth. But as we noted in our Avatar: The Last Airbender review , this new series despite its promise is unfortunately undermined by superfluous alterations and an unmistakable identity crisis. Dont expect it to feature on our list of the best Netflix shows any time soon, then.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Constellation (Apple TV Plus)

Apple TV Plus has fast become a shorthand for slow-burning, expensive-looking sci-fi shows, and the streamers latest series, Constellation , will do little to harm that reputation.

This eight-part thriller stars Noomi Rapace as an astronaut who, upon returning to Earth after a fatal accident aboard the International Space Station, finds that key pieces of her life including her young daughter
have gone missing.

Jonathan Banks, James D'Arcy and Julian Looman also star in Constellation , which critics have described as a well-made thriller that may be revealing
its cards too soon. The series first three episodes are available to stream now, with the remaining five installments set to arrive weekly every
Wednesday through March 27. Might this become one of the best Apple TV Plus shows ? Only time will tell.

Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 3 (Disney Plus)

The third and final season of Disneys The Clone Wars -inspired Star Wars spin-off, The Bad Batch , begins streaming on Disney Plus this weekend.

New episodes of this fan-favorite animated series which centers on an elite unit of genetically modified Clone Troopers in the early days of the Galactic Empire will feature the return Ian McDiarmid as the Emperor, as well as
Count Dooku's former apprentice Asajj Ventress, who was presumed dead after the events of 2015s Dark Disciple novel .

The first three episodes of The Bad Batch season 3 are now available to
stream on Disney Plus; the remaining 12 will arrive weekly every Wednesday through May 1. For a look at more upcoming projects from a galaxy far, far away, check out our new Star Wars movies and TV shows guide.

Now available to stream on Disney Plus. The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy (Prime Video)

Amazons latest adult animated series, The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy
, is now available to stream in its entirety on Prime Video.

This eight-episode comedy show which comes from the mind of Big Mouth
creator Cirocco Dunlap follows a pair of intergalactically renowned surgeons (voiced by Keke Palmer and Stephanie Hsu) who take on a highly dangerous and potentially groundbreaking case that could put existence itself in jeopardy.

Maya Rudolph, Natasha Lyonne, Kieran Culkin and Sam Smith (yes, the singer), also lend their voice talents to The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy , which has already been renewed for a second season.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live (AMC Plus)

AMCs mega-popular zombie series, The Walking Dead , returns in the form of
yet another spin-off series this weekend (thats six, for anyone counting).

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live centers on the love story between Rick and Michonne Grimes or Richonne to franchise superfans that endured despite the formers disappearance in The Walking Dead season 9. Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira reprise their roles as Rick and Michonne, respectively.

Suffice to say, existing The Walking Dead fans will surely find plenty of nostalgia to enjoy here, but dont expect The Ones Who Live to reinvent the post-apocalypse-zombie-outbreak genre. The first of the series six episodes will be available to stream on AMC Plus from Sunday, with the remaining five installments due weekly. A UK release date (and streaming platform) has yet
to be announced.

Available to stream on AMC Plus from Sunday. Formula 1: Drive to Survive season 6 (Netflix)

One of the best Netflix documentaries , Formula 1: Drive to Survive , returns for its sixth annual installment this weekend.

New episodes of this fan-favorite fly-on-the-wall series chart the events of the 2022/23 Formula 1 season, which saw Red Bulls Max Verstappen claim his third world championship in largely unchallenged fashion.

Might Verstappens dominance make for another uninspired season of Formula 1: Drive to Survive ? Well be tuning in to find out but its safe to expect
dirty politics, backstage bust-ups and burning rubber aplenty.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Rory Scovel: Religion, Sex and a Few Things in Between (Max)

The second of this weeks documentary picks is Rory Scovel: Religion, Sex and
a Few Things in Betwee n, which is now streaming on Max.

This new stand-up special the trailer for which was recently dubbed the best stand-up special trailer ever finds the titular comedian-turned-actor addressing subjects such as religion, sex, mushrooms, vaccines and parenting an eight-year-old.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (March 8)

Date:
Fri, 08 Mar 2024 15:17:31 +0000

Description:
From box office-smashing family adventures to critically-acclaimed Oscar nominees, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Its Oscars weekend, folks! And what better way to celebrate the inevitable (okay, potential) coming of Emma Stones second Academy Award than by
streaming the film for which shes nominated this year?

Yes, Yorgos Lanthimos off-beat comedy drama, Poor Things , is now streaming
on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK but thats not the only headline-grabbing movie at your disposal this weekend. Timothe Chalamets whimsical Wonka has landed on Max , while Tina Feys musical adaptation of
Mean Girls is now available on Paramount Plus .

Below, we've rounded up the seven biggest new movies and TV shows to stream
on Netflix , Prime Video , Max, and more this weekend. Wonka (Max)

If youre keen to see more of Timothe Chalamet following his sand-riding turn in Dune: Part Two , the actors most family-friendly film to date, Wonka , is now streaming on Max in the US.

Paddington director Paul King helms this coming-of-age prequel to Roald
Dahls beloved childrens story, which finds a younger version of Willy Wonka (Chalamet) eager to set up his first chocolate shop at the coveted Galries Gourmet. But when his plans are scuppered by a cartel of greedy chocolatiers, Wonka must turn to new friends and a grumpy Oompa Loompa (Hugh Grant) for help.

Wonka rocked the global box office upon its theatrical release in December last year at the time of writing, its the most successful film of Chalamets career to date so this new Max movie is definitely one to watch if you haven't already. UK viewers, however, will have to pay to stream Wonka via Prime Video.

Now available to stream on Max in the US. Poor Things (Hulu, Disney Plus)

Yorgos Lanthimos is no stranger to weird and wonderful movies, but the Greek filmmakers latest picture, Poor Things , might be the weirdest and most wonderful of the lot.

Now streaming on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK, Poor Things which is an adaptation of Alasdair Grays novel of the same name centers on a young woman (Emma Stone) who, after being brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist (Willem Dafoe), runs off with a debauched lawyer (Mark Ruffalo) on
a journey of self-discovery.

If that all sounds suitably wacky, thats because it is, but Poor Things has been near-universally praised by critics for being a thrilling carnival of oddness. In other words, its a shoo-in for a spot on our best Hulu movies and best Disney Plus movies lists.

Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK. The Gentlemen (Netflix)

The first truly new entry on this weeks list is The Gentlemen , which is now available to stream in its entirety on Netflix.

From the mind of Guy Ritchie and set in the same world as the directors 2019 gangster movie of the same name The Gentlemen stars Theo James as Eddie Halstead, a young upstart who unexpectedly inherits his late father's country estate and the multi-million-pound weed-growing empire that comes with it. Ray Winstone, Giancarlo Esposito, Kaya Scodelario and Vinnie Jones also star.

Suffice to say, fans of Ritchies existing work will find plenty of blood-spattered action to enjoy here, though it remains to be seen whether
The Gentlemen can make it onto our list of the best Netflix shows .

Now available to stream on Netflix. Mean Girls (Paramount Plus)

Another recent theatrical release, Mean Girls , makes its streaming debut on Paramount Plus this weekend.

Adapted from the Broadway musical of the same name which itself is based on Tina Feys iconic 2004 movie Mean Girls tells the story of Cady Heron (Angourie Rice), a high school newbie whose rapid ascendance of the social hierarchy is threatened when she falls for the ex-boyfriend of vindictive queen bee Regina Goerge (Rene Rapp).

Critics were divided over this new Paramount Plus movie upon its release in January, but if youre keen to see how Tina Fey applied the musical treatment to a beloved high school story, this new take on Mean Girls is most likely worth a watch.

Now available to stream on Paramount Plus. Damsel (Netflix)

Netflixs latest star-studded fantasy drama, Damsel , finally debuts on the streaming platform this weekend after a lengthy delay.

This script-flipping adventure stars Millie Bobby Brown as Elodie, a young woman who agrees to marry a handsome prince (Nick Robinson), only to find herself sacrificed to a fearsome dragon in order to pay a family debt.

Angela Bassett, Ray Winstone and Robin Wright also star in Damsel , which critics have panned for being an atrocious revenge caper. As such, theres a good chance that this new Netflix movie wont be making our list of the best Netflix movies but it might still be a fun time if youre particularly taken with anti-fairytale stories.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Ricky Stanicky (Prime Video)

Amazons long-in-development comedy movie Ricky Stanicky finally arrives on Prime Video this weekend.

From the mind of legendary comedy director Peter Farrelly, this streaming exclusive centers on a trio of friends who, having spent the past 20 years using a made-up person (the titular Ricky Stanicky) to get out of tricky situations, are forced to hire an actor to play the made-up person in
question when their respective partners become suspicious of his existence.

Zac Efron, John Cena, Jermaine Fowler, William H. Macy and Andrew Santino all star in Ricky Stanicky , which has so far received a lukewarm response from critics. Still, judging by the trailer, it could at least be one of the best Prime Video movies to stream in March.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. 96th Academy Awards (Hulu + Live TV, ITVX)

Yep, its that time of year again the 96th Academy Awards (aka the Oscars) kick off at 7pm ET / 4pm PDT / 11pm GMT this Sunday, with the entire show streaming on Hulu + Live TV in the US (thats Hulu plus the Live TV package) and ITVX in the UK.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Last week saw the likes of Wonka , Poor Things and The Gentlemen debut on streaming services, and while this weeks list of on-demand recommendations isnt quite so exciting, there are a handful of new movies and TV shows that are sure to get pulses racing.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. Chicken Nugget (Netflix)

Chicken Nugget marks the second chicken nugget-themed Netflix production to arrive on the streamer in less than four months, but judging by the blissful oddity of the new series trailer, were not complaining.

This off-beat South Korean series centers on Choi (Kim Yoo-jung), a young woman who, after mistaking a strange new machine for a fatigue-reducing treatment, is accidentally turned into a chicken nugget yes, a chicken nugget. Episodes follow the efforts of her father (Ryu Seung-ryong) and his intern (Ahn Jae-hong) to turn her back into a human.

If that all sounds completely ridiculous, thats because it is, and critics have described Chicken Nugget (perhaps unsurprisingly) as a surreal and whimsical comedy that may not be to everyones taste. Still, if youre someone who simply loves chicken nuggets, this may end up being one of best Netflix shows .

Now available to stream on Netflix. Manhunt (Apple TV Plus)

Apple TV Plus is no stranger to historical thrillers, and the streamers
latest series offering, Manhunt , further expands that section of its content library.

This seven-part series chronicles the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and

Melissa Benoist, Carla Gugino, Natasha Behnam and Christina Elmore head the cast of The Girls on the Bus , which critics have described as compulsively watchable and startlingly apolitical.

Following the success of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers , yet another Liane Moriarty novel, Apples Never Fall , gets the TV treatment this weekend.

with her parents divorce. Che Tafari, Kelly Reilly and Simon Khan also star.

war, wed caution against watching this one for a weekend pick-me-up, but Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War could well rank among the best Netflix documentaries of the year so far.

Now available to stream on Netflix.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (March 22)

Date:
Fri, 22 Mar 2024 15:00:31 +0000

Description:
From star-studded sci-fi series to long-awaited superhero reboots, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Its been an exciting week for Max subscribers, what with HBO dropping not
one, not two, but three (!) fiery new trailers for House of the Dragon season 2 and the Warner Bros-owned streaming service having now secured a long-awaited European release date .

Unfortunately, those same Max subscribers might struggle to get excited about this weeks crop of streaming recommendations, which is dominated by picks
from Netflix ( 3 Body Problem ), Disney Plus ( X-Men '97 ) and Prime Video ( Road House ). Elsewhere, Palm Royale and Ark: The Animated Series come to Apple TV Plus and Paramount Plus , respectively.

Below, we've rounded up the seven biggest new movies and TV shows to stream
on Netflix, Prime Video, Max and more this weekend. 3 Body Problem (Netflix)

Game of Thrones writers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss return to small screen action this weekend with their ambitious new sci-fi series 3 Body Problem on Netflix.

Adapted from the first novel in Cixin Lius mega-popular Remembrance of
Earth's Past series, this live-action, centuries-spanning adventure
chronicles the aftermath of mankind's first communications with extraterrestrial intelligence in 1960s China. Benedict Wong, Rosalind Chao
and Eiza Gonzlez lead a cast that also includes Game of Thrones alumni John Bradley, Liam Cunningham and Jonathan Pryce.

In our 3 Body Problem review , we described Benioff and Weiss latest
streaming offering as a deep-thinking, multi-genre and suitably epic Netflix series, so expect to see this one feature on our list of the best Netflix shows very soon.

Now available to stream on Netflix. X-Men '97 (Disney Plus)

If you grew up watching cartoons in the 1990s, youll no doubt be familiar
with X-Men: The Animated Series , and Marvels latest Disney Plus offering, X-Men '97 , picks up where that beloved superhero show left off (spoiler:
with the death of Professor X).

This 10-episode series is independent of the MCU so you neednt worry about re-learning how to watch the Marvel movies in order and even features some
of the original shows voice cast, so X-Men fans will find plenty of nostalgia to enjoy here.

In our X-Men '97 review , we described the new Marvel series as a delightful and reference-filled sequel that befits its 90s heyday predecessor, so X-Men '97 will no doubt earn a spot on our list of the best Disney Plus shows . To me, my X-Men!

Now available to stream on Disney Plus. Road House (Prime Video)

Amazons ultra-violent remake of classic 1989 beat-em-up movie Road House is now streaming on Prime Video.

Despite sharing the same title, this Florida-set adaptation of the Patrick Swayze-starring film does deviate from its source material slightly, with
Jake Gyllenhaal starring as a talented UFC fighter-turned-bouncer whose
skills are put to the test by an equally punch-happy gangster (Conor McGregor).

Billy Magnussen, Jessica Williams and Daniela Melchior also star in Road
House , which has earned praise from some critics for delivering pure, hard-bitten entertainment but also criticism from others for being a dull slugfest. As such, well let you decide for yourself whether this is one of
the best Prime Video movies .

Now available to stream on Prime Video. Palm Royale (Apple TV Plus)

Apple TV Plus continues its quest to become period drama streamer supreme
this weekend with Palm Royale .

Set in 1969 and based on Juliet McDaniels novel Mr. and Mrs. American Pie , this 10-episode comedy series stars Kristen Wiig as an ambitious woman who will do whatever it takes to be accepted into Palm Beach high society. Laura Dern, Allison Janney, Ricky Martin and Leslie Bibb also feature in the shows stacked cast.

The first three episodes of Palm Royale which critics have described as a
bit Desperate Housewives , a bit Mad Men , a bit Big Little Lies are now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. The shows remaining seven installments are due to arrive weekly every Wednesday through May 8.

Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Shirley (Netflix)

Netflixs latest straight-to-streaming biopic stars Regina King as Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to Congress.

Written and directed by 12 Years a Slave screenwriter John Ridley, this new Netflix movie centers on Chisholm's fabled presidential run in 1972, which
saw her battle racism and sexism in pursuit of making history. Lance Reddick, Lucas Hedges, Christina Jackson, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Terrence Howard and Andre Holland also star.

Critics have described Shirley as a formulaic drama that boasts a winning central performance, so perhaps Kings turn as Chisholm can elevate this paint-by-numbers drama into one of the best Netflix movies of the year.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Ark: The Animated Series (Paramount
Plus)

The latest video game to get the TV treatment is Ark: Survival Evolved ,
which begins streaming on Paramount Plus this weekend as Ark: The Animated Series .

This 13-episode adventure centers on a young woman, Helena Walker (Madeleine Madden), who must do whatever it takes to survive after awakening in a mysterious new world filled with dinosaurs, strange technology and warring tribes.

Russell Crowe, Gerard Butler and Vin Diesel all executive produce (and lend their voice talents to) Ark: The Animated Series , which also counts Michelle Yeoh, David Tennant, Elliot Page, Alan Tudyk and Jeffrey Wright among its phenomenal cast. The shows first six episodes are now available to stream on Paramount Plus, with the remaining seven installments due to follow at a
later date.

Now available to stream on Paramount Plus. Ramy Youssef: More Feelings (Max)

This weeks non-fiction pick is Ramy Youssef: More Feelings , which is now streaming on Max (UK viewers will likely find this one streaming on Sky in
the coming months).

This brilliant and calming comedy special directed by The Bear creator Christopher Storer sees the titular Poor Things actor putting his uniquely humorous spin on controversial topics including Middle East politics, Islamophobia and Taylor Swift?

Now available to stream on Max.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (April 5)

Date:
Fri, 05 Apr 2024 14:28:00 +0000

Description:
From star-studded historical dramas to moody crime dramas, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

This weeks crop of streaming recommendations is a veritable smorgasbord of on-demand entertainment, and almost every title is refreshingly franchise-free.

For starters, theres the latest live-action adaptation of Patricia Highsmiths beloved The Talented Mr. Ripley novel on Netflix , and Netflix subscribers
can also enjoy Scoop , a dramatized retelling of the infamous Prince Andrew BBC Newsnight interview. Elsewhere, new crime thriller Sugar begins streaming on Apple TV Plus , while historical drama Mary & George comes to Starz in the US and Sky in the UK.

Below, we've rounded up the seven biggest new movies and TV shows to stream
on Netflix, Prime Video , Max , and more this weekend. Ripley (Netflix)

1999s Matt Damon-starring The Talented Mr. Ripley movie is beloved for its vibrant color palette and equally eye-catching costumes, but the latest adaptation of Patricia Highsmiths novel of the same name which is now streaming on Netflix swaps sun-drenched vistas for monochrome moodiness.

The story of Riple y, however, remains the same: Andrew Scott starts the titular American conman, who is enlisted by a wealthy family to track down
the elusive (but oh-so-stylish) Dickie Greenleaf (Johnny Flynn) and return
him to New York City. Dakota Fanning, John Malkovich and Maurizio Lombardi also star.

Critics have described Ripley as a scintillating and noirish adaptation, with Andrew Scott earning particular praise for his absolutely spellbinding performance as Ripley himself. By the sounds of things, then, this eight-part series is a shoo-in for a spot on our list of the best Netflix shows .

Now available to stream on Netflix. Mary & George (Starz, Sky)

Its been a while since the last great historical drama, but Mary & George which is now streaming in its entirety on Starz in the US (via Prime Video) and Sky in the UK looks set to change that.

This seven-part series stars Julianne Moore and Nicholas Galitzine as the titular Countess and Duke of Buckingham, who plot to seduce and control
King James I (Tony Curran) during the latters reign in 17th century England.

Dubbed a 17th-century raunchfest and a compelling trip to the gay 1600s, Mary & George is sure to set pulses racing even if it occasionally veers left of total historical accuracy.

Now available to stream on Starz in the US and Sky and Now in the UK. Scoop (Netflix)

You saw the headlines. You saw the clips. You saw the memes. Now, Prince Andrews infamous 2019 BBC Newsnight interview gets the small screen treatment via Scoop on Netflix.

This feature-length drama recounts how Newsnight producer Sam McAlister (Billie Piper) negotiated with Buckingham Palace to secure a revealing and ultimately catastrophic interview with the then-Prince Andrew (Rufus
Sewell), whose relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was the subject of intense media speculation.

Scoop has earned a mixed reception from critics, but we suspect that anyone with even a faint interest in royal drama will find plenty to enjoy here (its certainly one for fans of The Crown ).

Now available to stream on Netflix. Sugar (Apple TV Plus)

Colin Farrell is no stranger to moody detective drama, and the Irish actor returns to private investigator action once again this weekend in Apple TV Plus new crime series Sugar .

Written by I Am Legend screenwriter Mark Protosevich, this genre-bending production stars Farrell as John Sugar, an enigmatic detective who is hired
to find the missing granddaughter of a legendary film producer in modern-day LA. Amy Ryan, James Cromwell, Anna Gunn and Kirby Howell-Baptiste also star.

The first three episodes of Sugar which could be among the best Apple TV
Plus shows of the year so far are available to stream now. The remaining
five installments are set to arrive weekly every Friday through May 17.

Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Msica (Prime Video)

American YouTuber Rudy Mancuso makes his directorial debut this weekend with Msica on Prime Video.

This coming-of-age musical stars Mancuso himself as a fictional Rudy, a young man plagued by the music in his head who is forced to navigate the pressures of love, family and his Brazilian culture in Newark, New Jersey.

Camila Mendes, Francesca Reale and J.B. Smoove also star in Msica , which has earned praise from critics for being a stylish and inventive musical that makes synesthesia cinematic. At the very least, this one sounds like a refreshingly different take on a tried-and-tested movie genre.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. Star Trek: Discovery season 5 (Paramount Plus)

The first two episodes of the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Discovery are now available to stream on Paramount Plus .

A lot has happened since the series premiere in 2017, so well just give you Paramounts own synopsis for Star Trek: Discovery season 5: The fifth and
final season will find Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery uncovering a mystery that will send them on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find an ancient power whose very
existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries. But there are others on the hunt as well dangerous foes who are desperate to claim the prize for themselves and will stop at nothing to get it.

Got it? Good. The final seasons remaining eight episodes are due to stream weekly every Thursday through May 30 on Paramount Plus.

Now available to stream on Paramount Plus. The Synanon Fix (Max)

This weeks documentary pick is The Synanon Fix , which is now streaming on Max.

This four-part docuseries chronicles the rise and fall of Synanon the controversial religious movement, founded by Charles E. "Chuck" Dederich Sr. in 1958, that descended into a cult during the 1970s as told through the
eyes of former members.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (April 12)

Date:
Fri, 12 Apr 2024 14:05:00 +0000

Description:
From big-budget video game adaptations to star-studded biopics, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Notwithstanding the total solar eclipse , things are beginning to brighten up outside, but unless youre reading this from a beach house in California, its still not warm enough to spend your weekends totally detached from the TV.

Thank goodness, then, for streaming services, who are this week offering up a particularly exciting slate of new movies and TV shows to enjoy. Leading the charge is Fallout on Prime Video , Amazons serialized adaptation of the
hugely popular post-apocalyptic video game series, while The Sympathizer and Franklin begin streaming on Max and Apple TV Plus , respectively.

Below, we've rounded up the seven biggest new movies and TV shows to stream
on Netflix , Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend. Fallout (Prime Video)

Its not an exaggeration to say were living through a golden age of video game adaptations, and Amazon will be hoping its newest game-to-screen series, Fallout , can emulate the success of recent projects like The Last of Us TV show .

Adapted from the post-apocalyptic video game franchise of the same name (by Westworld writing duo Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan, no less), this eight-part, 1950s-style series centers on a young womans journey across a nuclear war-ravaged Los Angeles. Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Kyle MacLachlan and
Walton Goggins lead the cast.

In our Fallout season 1 review , we described the show as an absolute blast and one of the best Prime Video shows ever made, so existing Fallout fans
need not fear for this projects quality. For further insight into the series product, check out our interviews with the Fallout cast and Nolan himself .

Now available to stream on Prime Video. The Sympathizer (Max)

Fresh from his Oscar-winning turn in Oppenheimer , Robert Downey Jr. plays multiple characters in A24s Park Chan-wook-directed spy thriller The Sympathizer .

This seven-part adaptation of the Pulitzer-winning novel by Viet Thanh Nguyen follows a Vietnamese communist spy (Hoa Xuande) who continues to secretly gather intelligence for the Viet Cong while exiled in the United States after the Vietnam War. Downey Jr. stars in various antagonist roles.

The first episode of The Sympathizer which critics have described as a tour de force adaptation is available to stream on Max in the US from Sunday and on Sky in the UK from Monday. The shows remaining six installments are due to arrive weekly every Sunday.

Available to stream on Max in the US from Sunday and on Sky in the UK from Monday. Franklin (Apple TV Plus)

Joining Napoleon in the Apple TV Plus biopic library this weekend is Franklin , a new historical miniseries charting the exploits of famed polymath
Benjamin Franklin.

Set towards the end of Franklins decades-spanning career, this eight-episode show centers on the diplomats engineering the Franco-American alliance of 1778. Michael Douglas stars in the title role alongside Noah Jupe, Daniel
Mays and Ludivine Sagnier.

Critics have praised Douglas performance as absolutely compelling, which suggests Franklin could be one of the best Apple TV Plus shows of the year so far. The series first three episodes are available to stream now, with the remaining five due to land weekly every Friday.

Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Good Times (Netflix)

Norman Lear's 1970s CBS sitcom Good Times gets the animated treatment on Netflix this weekend.

Featuring the voices of Jay Pharoah, Yvette Nicole Brown, Marsai Martin, JB Smoove and Gerald Anthony Johnson, this adult animated comedy series
produced by the late Lear himself alongside Seth MacFarlane and Stephen Curry
centers on the misadventures of a family living in the Chicago projects.

Suffice to say, Good Times has left preview audiences divided, but critics have said that this animated sequel improves when it steps out from Normal Lears shadow.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Baby Reindeer (Netflix)

British comedian Richard Gadd adapts his award-winning, partly autobiographical play Baby Reindeer into a new Netflix series this weekend.

Based on Gadds own experience with a stalker, this new drama (from the makers of The End of the F***ing World ) follows a struggling comedian (played by Gadd himself) who becomes an object of obsession for a vulnerable woman (Jessica Gunning).

Critics have described Baby Reindeer as a tense, creepily filmed series that will stay with you for a long time to come, so this could be one of the best Netflix shows of the year.

Now available to stream on Netflix. What Jennifer Did (Netflix)

This first of this weeks two documentary picks is What Jennifer Did on Netflix.

This feature-length investigation takes a microscope to the 2010 case of Jennifer Pan, a young Vietnamese-Canadian girl who was inexplicably left as the sole witness when armed intruders broke into her home and killed her parents.

If you dont already know how this shocking case unfolded, well refrain from disclosing spoilers here, but judging by its trailer, What Jennifer Did has the makings of being one of the best Netflix documentaries for some time.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Brandy Hellville & The Cult of Fast Fashion (Max)

If you enjoyed Netflixs White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch , HBO has a new fashion-focused expos documentary for you.

Brandy Hellville & The Cult of Fast Fashion examines the toxic origins and culture behind the titular teen clothing brand, which has faced accusations

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (April 19)

Date:
Fri, 19 Apr 2024 14:12:00 +0000

Description:
From returning sci-fi franchises to star-studded true crime dramas, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Its been a jam-packed few months for great new movies and TV shows to stream, so the lack of headline-grabbing titles in this weeks crop of arrivals could prove a blessing in disguise (at least for those of us whose watchlists are now terrifyingly long).

Thats not to say theres nothing new worth watching over the next few days, mind. The biggest addition, Rebel Moon Part 2 : The Scargiver , makes its debut on Netflix , while new true crime drama Under the Bridge begins streaming on Hulu in the US. Elsewhere, family-friendly movie Migration comes to Peacock .

Below, we've rounded up the seven biggest new movies and TV shows to stream
on Netflix, Prime Video , Max , and more this weekend. Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver (Netflix)

Suffice to say, Zack Snyders first Rebel Moon movie didnt pull up any trees when it debuted on Netflix in December last year, but that hasnt delayed the swift arrival of its similarly-expensive follow-up, Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver .

The second (though maybe not final) installment in Snyder's new sci-fi franchise revolves around Veldt's last stand against the dictatorial Motherworld, which crushes any planets and civilizations that rebel against its authoritarian regime. Much of the original movies cast Sofia Boutella,
Ed Skrein, Djimon Hounsou and so on return for more space-faring action.

Unfortunately, critics still haven't warmed to Snyder's bombastic sci-fi style, but Rebel Moon Part 2 has at least been described as less problematic than the first. Existing Snyder fans, though, will no doubt find plenty to enjoy here.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Under the Bridge (Hulu)

Fresh from her Oscar-nominated turn in Martin Scorseses Killers of the Flower Moon , Lily Gladstone returns to action this weekend in Hulus new true crime drama Under the Bridge .

This eight-episode adaptation of Rebecca Godfrey's true-crime novel of the same name follows a detectives investigation into the murder of Reena Virk (Vritika Gupta), a fourteen-year old girl who went to join friends at a party and never returned home. Riley Keough stars as Godfrey herself, while Gladstone leads the cast as detective Bentland.

The first two episodes of Under the Bridge which critics have described as noble but clunky are now available on Hulu in the US. Presumably, the series will debut on Disney Plus in the UK later this year.

Now available to stream on Hulu in the US. Migration (Peacock)

If youre in the mood for a family-friendly adventure this weekend, look no further than Illuminations Migration , which is now streaming on Peacock.

This box office-smashing animated movie centers on a family of ducks who decide to leave the safety of a New England pond for an adventurous trip to Jamaica. Awkwafina, Kumail Nanjiani, Elizabeth Banks and Danny DeVito are among the films impressive voice cast.

Incidentally, the script for Migration comes from The White Lotus creator
Mike White, but rest assured that this colorful story of mallards-on-the-move features less introspection and more kid-friendly wise-cracking.

Now available to stream on Peacock. Freuds Last Session (Netflix)

Freuds Last Session debuted in theaters towards the end of last year, but this Anthony Hopkins-starring movie finally begins streaming on Netflix in
the US this weekend (UK viewers will have to wait a little longer).

This talky two-hander stars Hopkins and Matthew Goode as Sigmund Freud and
The Chronicles of Narnia author C.S. Lewis, respectively, and centers on the latters visit to Freuds house in early September 1939. In the shadow of World War II, the pair engage in a tete-a-tete over their belief in the future of mankind and the existence of God.

Given that Freuds Last Session was originally a play, its no surprise that this new Netflix movie has been described by critics as talky and stagy, but fans of either Freud or Lewis will surely find plenty of dialogue-based drama to enjoy here.

Available to stream on Netflix in the US from Saturday. The Spiderwick Chronicles (Roku)

Originally ordered by Disney Plus , then canceled following the completion of its production, The Spiderwick Chronicles begins streaming (for free, no

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (April 26)

Date:
Fri, 26 Apr 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Description:
From Oscar-winning dramas to star-studded video game adaptations, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Last weeks crop of new movies and TV shows to stream was pretty lackluster by 2024 standards, but this weeks batch of on-demand arrivals is decidedly more compelling.

Leading the charge is Knuckles on Paramount Plus , which further expands the Sonic the Hedgehog cinematic universe with a six-episode debut season. Elsewhere, DC Comics adaptation Dead Boy Detectives begins streaming on Netflix , while Oscar-winning wartime drama The Zone of Interest makes its
way to Prime Video .

Below, we've rounded up the seven biggest new movies and TV shows to stream
on Netflix, Prime Video, Max , and more this weekend. Knuckles (Paramount Plus)

You dont need us to tell you that video game adaptations are all the rage right now, and the pixel-to-screen craze continues this weekend with Knuckles on Paramount Plus.

Set between the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and its upcoming sequel, this six-part miniseries follows Knuckles the Echidna (Idris Elba) as he trains deputy sheriff Wade Whipple (Adam Pally) in the ways of the Echidna warrior. Ben Schwartz and Colleen O'Shaughnessey reprise their roles as Sonic and Tails, respectively.

Early reactions to Knuckles have been mixed , but weve seen the shows first three episodes, and can vouch for the quality of its humor and signature
Sonic -style spectacle. Existing franchise fans, then, will surely find
plenty of hedgehog-related hijinks to enjoy here.

Now available to stream on Paramount Plus. Dead Boy Detectives (Netflix)

Just two years after The Sandman premiered on Netflix, Neil Gaiman returns to the worlds best streaming service with new supernatural series Dead Boy Detectives .

Based on the DC Comics characters of the same name, this eight-part
production which weaves elements of Gaimans The Sandman universe into its story follows two ghosts, Edwin (George Rexstrew) and Charles (Jayden
Revri), who remain on Earth to help other ghosts solve the mysteries surrounding their deaths.

Kirby Howell-Baptiste reprises her role as Death from The Sandman , so its safe to expect more demon-slaying action from this one. Indeed, critics have described Dead Boy Detectives as a fun paranormal romp, suggesting it could
be one of the best Netflix shows for some time.

Now available to stream on Netflix. The Zone of Interest (Prime Video)

Jonathan Glazers wartime drama The Zone of Interest picked up two Oscars including Best International Feature at this years Academy Awards, and the film finally makes its streaming debut on Prime Video this weekend.

Set in 1943, The Zone of Interest centers on the domestic life of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Hss (Christian Friedel) and his wife Hedwig (Sandra Hller), who live with their young family in a seemingly idyllic home next to the infamous concentration camp.

Critics described the film as an unforgettable, brutal masterpiece upon its release in February, so this is indisputably one of the best Prime Video movies to debut on the service, well, ever. Essential viewing.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. Goodbye Earth (Netflix)

Its been a while since the last headline-grabbing K-drama, but Netflix will
be hoping that its new dystopian sci-fi adventure Goodbye Earth changes that.

Based on the novel of the same name by Ktar Isaka, this 12-episode series
asks the question: what would happen if humanity knew the exact date of its extinction? Starring Ahn Eun-jin and Yoo Ah-in, Goodbye Earth follows a young mother who refuses to give up hope when an asteroid is confirmed to be hurtling towards Earth.

The few reviews that do exist for this new Netflix series call it a dystopian masterpiece, so perhaps well be hearing about Goodbye Earth in the same
breath as Squid Game very soon.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Them: The Scare (Prime Video)

Horror fans, listen up: the second season of Amazons horror anthology series Them begins streaming on Prime Video this weekend.

Set in Los Angeles in 1991, Them: The Scare follows an ambitious LAPD Detective on the case of a brutal murderer whose crimes have left other hardened detectives shaken. Season 1 star Deborah Ayorinde returns to lead
the shows new episodes (though in a different role), while Pam Grier, Luke James, Wayne Knight and Joshua J. Williams also star.

Critics have described this one as deeply unsettling and terrifyingly horrific, so wed advise against sitting down to watch Them: The Scare with
the whole family.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. Tiger (Disney Plus)

The first of this weeks two documentary picks is Tiger on Disney Plus.

Narrated by Priyanka Chopra Jonas, this feature-length production which
comes from Disneys independent Disneynature film studio aims to lift the
veil on the titular cat species, paying particular attention to Ambar, a
young tigress raising her cubs in the forests of India.

A companion series, Tigers on the Rise , is also streaming this weekend on Disney Plus, so tiger fans (or indeed animal lovers more generally) have plenty of feline features to dig into.

Now available to stream on Disney Plus. Call Me Country: Beyonc &
Nashville's Renaissance (Max)

In case you hadnt heard, country music is back, baby, so its no surprise that CNN has commissioned a documentary examining the context behind the genres resurgence.

Beyonc & Nashville's Renaissance highlights how high-profile artists like Beyonc and Lil Nas X have helped bring country music into the global mainstream, and challenged assumptions about what it means to be a country singer.

US viewers will find this one streaming on Max, though UK viewers will likely have to wait a few more weeks before Beyonc & Nashville's Renaissance airs on the other side of the pond.

Now available to stream on Max.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (May 3)

Date:
Fri, 03 May 2024 14:02:00 +0000

Description:
From star-studded rom-coms to returning sci-fi series, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Sometimes, a weekend comes along thats so stacked with new movies and TV
shows to stream, we have a hard time narrowing down our list of recommendations to seven entries.

This weekend is one of those weekends, so rather than tease our chosen titles in todays introduction, we thought wed rattle off the four series that arent included in the below list, since theyre still worthy of your time: the third seasons of Clarkson's Farm , Hacks and Welcome to Wrexham are all now streaming on Prime Video , Max and Disney Plus , respectively, while new period drama Shardlake comes to Hulu .

Below, we've rounded up seven more of the biggest new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix , Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend. The Idea of You (Prime Video)

If the surprising box office success of Anyone But You taught us anything,
its that audiences will turn out for a good old fashioned rom-com, and Amazon will be hoping that its latest star-studded melodrama, The Idea of You , proves similarly popular.

Adapted from Robinne Lee's 2017 novel of the same name by The Big Sick director Michael Showalter, this Prime Video-exclusive movie stars Anne Hathaway as a 40-year-old divorce who strikes up an unconventional romance with the lead singer of a popular boy band (Nicholas Galitzine).

Reid Scott and Annie Mumolo also star in The Idea of You , which critics have described as a plane movie par excellence and a damn sight better than what weve been forced to get used to in the rom-com genre. For the right viewer, then, this could be one of the best Prime Video movies of the year.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. A Man in Full (Netflix)

Jeff Daniels has made a habit of leading well-made TV dramas in recent years, and the veteran actor returns to do just that in A Man in Full , which is now streaming on Netflix.

This six-episode adaptation of the 1998 novel by Tom Wolfe centers on the fictional Charlie Croker (Daniels), a charismatic Atlanta real estate mogul who is suddenly faced with the prospect of bankruptcy and the collapse of his empire. Diane Lane, William Jackson Harper, Lucy Liu and Bill Camp also star; the latter reuniting with Daniels after starring alongside him in 2019s The Looming Tower series.

Suffice to say, A Man in Full has left critics divided, with some calling it
a skin-crawling Trump satire and others a substandard Succession . We havent seen the series yet, so well leave you to decide whether its one of the best Netflix shows , or another Netflix flop.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Unfrosted (Netflix)

Sticking with the best streaming service , Netflix also plays host to Jerry Seinfelds directorial feature debut, Unfrosted , this weekend.

This surprisingly star-studded biopic-of-sorts follows the real-life race between rival breakfast cereal companies to create a revolutionary toaster pastry product (read: a Pop Tart) in the early 1960s. Seinfeld himself leads the cast alongside wait for it Melissa McCarthy, Hugh Grant, James Marsden, Amy Schumer, Christian Slater, Daniel Levy, Bill Burr and many more.

Depending on who you read, Unfrosted is either a deliciously silly, spoofy tale or one of the decade's worst movies, so dont expect to see this one make our list of the best Netflix movies any time soon.

Now available to stream on Netflix. The Veil (Hulu)

Less than two years after leading The Handmaid's Tale to its fifth and final season, Elizabeth Moss returns to Hulu to front FXs new spy thriller The Veil .

This six-episode series which comes from Peaky Blinders creator Steven
Knight follows a globe-trotting MI6 agent (Moss) whose mission to extract
and interrogate a suspected ISIS leader (Yumna Marwan) catches the attention of French and American intelligence services.

Josh Charles and Dali Benssalah also star in The Veil , which critics have described as a compelling spy yarn with a few loose threads. UK viewers will likely have to wait for this one to debut on Disney Plus later in the year.

Now available to stream on Hulu in the US. Star Wars: Tales of the Empire (Disney Plus)

Disneys follow-up to 2022's Tales of the Jedi series comes to Disney Plus in its entirety this Saturday (or Star Wars day to those who celebrate).

Star Wars: Tales of the Empire charts the rise of the fearsome Galactic Empire through the eyes of two very different warriors: The Mandalorian 's Morgan Elsbeth (Diana Lee Inosanto) and The Clone Wars ' Barriss Offee (Meredith Salenger).

Grand Admiral Thrawn, The Grand Inquisitor and General Grievous are all confirmed to appear across the series six episodes, so Tales of the Empire sounds like a must-watch for nostalgia-loving Star Wars fans

Now available to stream on Disney Plus. The Tattooist of Auschwitz (Peacock)

If youre in the mood for a heavy-hitting wartime drama, a small screen adaptation of Heather Morris best-selling novel The Tattooist of Auschwitz is now streaming on Peacock.

This co-production between Peacock in the US and Sky in the UK chronicles the real-life romance between Auschwitz prisoners Lali (Jonah Hauer-King) and
Gita Sokolov (Anna Prchniak), who strike up a lifelong romance in the most inhuman of circumstances.

Harvey Keitel and Melanie Lynskey also star in The Tattooist of Auschwitz , which critics have described as well made, well acted, well intentioned but ultimately grotesque, for reasons were sure you can guess.

Now available to stream on Peacock. The Contestant (Hulu)

The third of three (three!) Hulu-based recommendations to feature on this week's list is new documentary film The Contestant .

This feature-length production tells the hard-to-believe story of Tomoaki Hamatsu, a Japanese man who unwittingly became the star of a Truman Show -style Japanese reality show in which contestants are left alone in a room
for months and forced to obtain food and clothing through sweepstakes.

Critics have described The Contestant as mind-blowing and something [thats] halfway between sensationalist expos and intimate confessional, so it sounds like a must-watch for fans of revelatory documentaries.

Now available to stream on Hulu in the US.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (May 10)

Date:
Fri, 10 May 2024 14:12:00 +0000

Description:
From returning sci-fi series to critically acclaimed sports dramas, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

This years latest headline-grabbing blockbuster, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes , is now playing in theaters worldwide, but if you arent heading out to watch CGI monkeys beat the living bejesus out of each other, the likes of Netflix , Max and Prime Video have plenty to keep you entertained from the comfort of your own home.

Leading the charge this weekend is acclaimed sports drama The Iron Claw , which joins the likes of Barbie , Wonka and The Zone of Interest in Maxs ever-growing movie library. Elsewhere, Doctor Who season 14 begins streaming on Disney Plus , while Dark Matter comes to Apple TV Plus .

Below, we've rounded up the biggest new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend. The Iron Claw (Max)

With the release of Civil War , Love Lies Bleeding and The Zone of Interest , its been a strong year for A24 movies, and another of the studios recent
hits, The Iron Claw , finally begins streaming on Max this weekend.

Directed by Sean Durkin, this biographical sports drama tells the story of
the real-life Von Erich brothers, a family of professional wrestlers who defied personal tragedy to triumph in the ring in the early 1980s. Zac Efron leads the cast alongside Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, Maura Tierney and Lily James.

Upon its release in November 2023, critics described The Iron Claw as
terrific and devastating, with particular praise going towards Efrons performance as Kevin Von Erich. Expect this one to make our list of the best Max movies very soon.

Now available to stream on Max. Doctor Who season 14 (Disney Plus, BBC iPlayer)

Ncuti Gatwas solo stint as the worlds most famous Time Lord kicked off last year in a Christmas special episode, but the fourteenth (fourteenth!) season of Doctor Who gets underway for real on Disney Plus in the US and BBC iPlayer in the UK this weekend.

New episodes of the long-running sci-fi show find The Doctor joined by new companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) on yet more planet-hopping adventures, with Jonathan Groff, Jinkx Monsoon and Indira Varma all confirmed to appear
as guest stars.

The first two episodes of Doctor Who season 14 are available to stream now, with the new seasons remaining episodes set to arrive weekly every Friday.

Now available to stream on Disney Plus in the US and BBC iPlayer in the UK. Dark Matter (Apple TV Plus)

Joel Edgerton returns to small screen action this weekend in Apple TV Plus
new sci-fi series Dark Matter .

Adapted from Blake Crouch's 2016 novel of the same name, this eight-episode thriller centers on a renowned astrophysicist (Edgerton) who, after being abducted into an alternate version of his life, must find a way back to his own timeline. Jennifer Connelly and Alice Braga also star.

Critics have described Dark Matter as a fun multiverse thriller and a starry and intriguing sci-fi series, so it could be among the best Apple TV Plus shows of the year.

Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Mother of The Bride (Netflix)

If youre in the mood for some pulpy escapism this weekend, look no further than Mother of The Bride on Netflix.

Directed by Mark Waters (of Freaky Friday and Mean Girls fame), this streaming-exclusive rom-com stars Brooke Shields as a mother who, after arriving in Thailand for her daughters wedding, discovers that the father of her son-in-law-to-be (Benjamin Bratt) is the same man who broke her heart in college (classic!).

If that all sounds remarkably similar to the plot of Ticket to Paradise (2022), thats because it is, but rom-com fans will surely find plenty to
enjoy in Mother of The Bride nonetheless (even if its not the best Netflix movie of all time).

Now available to stream on Netflix. Clarksons Farm season 3 (Prime Video)

Having begun streaming last weekend, Clarksons Farm season 3 is now available to stream in its eight-episode entirety on Prime Video.

This latest season of the surprisingly wholesome reality series finds the UKs foremost potty-mouthed motorhead, Jeremy Clarkson, once again struggling to grapple with the realities of running his own 1000-acre farm in Oxfordshire, England.

Clarksons Farm has already been renewed for a fourth season on Prime Video, so its pretty hard to argue against the shows status as one of the best Prime Video series of the past few years.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. Bodkin (Netflix)

Netflix will be hoping that its latest understated thriller, Bodkin , can replicate the success of breakout hit Baby Reindeer , which is among the best Netflix shows of 2024.

This seven-episode black comedy series which comes from Barack and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground production company follows a group of podcasters as they investigate a string of mysterious disappearances in an idyllic Irish town. Will Forte, Siobhn Cullen and Robyn Cara lead the shows cast.

Critics have described Bodkin as a funny Irish thriller for Only Murders in the Building fans, so if youre fond of Steve Martin and John Hoffmans acclaimed Hulu series, this new Netflix show could be worth a go.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Let It Be (Disney Plus)

This weeks new documentary pick, Let It Be , is actually a restored version
of Michael Lindsay-Hogg's long-out-of-print 1970 Beatles documentary, which The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson has resurrected for Disney Plus.

This feature-length film follows the legendary rock band in January 1969 as they rehearse and record for what was to become their twelfth and final
studio album, Let It Be . The new documentary also features fully restored footage of the Beatles unannounced rooftop concert, which proved to be the groups last public performance as a foursome.

Now available to stream on Disney Plus.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (May 17)

Date:
Fri, 17 May 2024 14:27:00 +0000

Description:
From returning period dramas to headline-grabbing superhero movies, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

When it comes to offering new movies and TV shows to stream, not all weekends are created equal. This weekend, for instance, there are no less than three (three!) documentaries in our seven-entry list of recommendations, which speaks to the lack of headline-grabbing new titles available on the likes of Netflix , Prime Video and Max .

Thats not to say theres absolutely nothing new to stream, mind. US Netflix subscribers can enjoy (or endure) Sonys latest Marvel movie , Madame Web , while The Big Cigar and Outer Range season 2 begin streaming on Apple TV Plus and Prime Video, respectively.

Below, we've rounded up the biggest new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend. Madame Web (Netflix)

Youd be forgiven for deliberately missing Madame Web during its headline-grabbing theatrical run in February, but if curiosity gets the
better of you this weekend, Sonys latest Marvel movie is now available to stream on Netflix in the US.

This Spider-Man -adjacent movie stars Dakota Johnson as a New York City paramedic-turned-precognitive mutant whose newfound clairvoyance leads her to three endangered young women. Sydney Sweeney, Adam Scott, Emma Roberts and Tahar Rahim also star.

We dont need to tell you how poorly received Madame Web was upon its theatrical release earlier this year let's just say it's definitley not one of the best Netflix movies of the year but superhero fans will surely find some degree of enjoyment in this comic book-inspired adventure.

Now available to stream on Netflix in the US. Bridgerton season 3 part 1 (Netflix)

The long-awaited third season of one of the best Netflix shows , Bridgerton , begins streaming on the worlds best streaming service this weekend. We say begins, because Bridgerton season 3 is being split into two parts, with the second arriving on June 13.

Season 3s first four episodes center on the will-they-wont-they romance between Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and her longtime crush Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton), though series favorites including Simone Ashley, Golda Rosheuvel and Jonathan Bailey remain part of the furniture.

Critics have described Bridgerton season 3 as more lush and enticing than audiences might remember, so existing series fans will no doubt find plenty
of debaucherous drama to enjoy here.

Now available to stream on Netflix. The Big Cigar (Apple TV Plus)

Apple TV Plus latest history-inspired production comes in the form of The Big Cigar .

This six-episode miniseries recounts the true story of how Black Panther leader Huey P. Newton (Andr Holland) fled to Cuba with the help of Hollywood producer Bert Schneider (Alessandro Nivola) to evade capture by the FBI in
the 1970s.

The first two episodes of The Big Cigar which critics have described as dynamic and punchy are now streaming on Apple TV Plus. The remaining four installments are due to land weekly every Friday through June 14.

Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Outer Range season 2 (Prime Video)

Dune and Marvel movie star Josh Brolin returns to his No Country for Old Men roots in the second season of Prime Videos western-style thriller series
Outer Range .

Heres the synopsis for the new seasons opening episode: In the aftermath of the bison stampede [dont ask], the Abbott family is more fractured than ever. Royal and Cecilia confront some difficult truths as they fight to keep their family together, while the Tillersons promise revenge against the Abbotts.

Sure, that wont make a lick of sense to anyone who hasnt seen the first
season of Outer Range , but it sounds like existing series fans have plenty
of Wyoming-based action to look forward to in the shows new episodes.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Power (Netflix)

The first of three documentary picks on this weeks list of recommendations is Power on Netflix.

This feature-length film sees director Yance Ford whose 2017 crime documentary Strong Island was nominated for an Academy Award return to the subject of American policing to ask the question: are cops a corrective force necessary to combat criminals?

Critics have said that Power could just as easily have benefited from the docuseries treatment but still manages to land plenty of hard truths and harder questions. By the sounds of things, then, this Sundance-selected feature could be one of this years best Netflix documentaries .

Now available to stream on Netflix. 99 (Prime Video)

Soccer fans (and, in particular, Manchester United fans): this ones for you.

Through a combination of archive footage and never-before-seen interviews
with key figures including Alex Ferguson, Paul Scholes and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Prime Videos 99 tells the incredible story of Uniteds incredible treble-winning season in 1998/99.

This new sports documentary has been dubbed a superb piece of work by
critics, so anyone who enjoyed the historical thrills of Netflix's The Last Dance should give 99 a go.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. Spacey Unmasked (Max)

Having sparked news headlines and a reaction from Kevin Spacey himself upon its release in the UK last week, new documentary Spacey Unmasked is now streaming on Max.

This two-hour special takes a microscope to the allegations (both old and
new) made against the titular actor, drawing testimony from several accusers as well as members of Spaceys family.

Critics have described Spacey Unmasked as far more than a did-he-didnt-he expos, so perhaps this film provides a more balanced account of events than
it first may seem to.

Now available to stream on Max.

From headline-grabbing blockbusters to star-studded sci-fi thrillers, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

If, for some reason, you denied yourself the privilege of watching Dune: Part Two in theaters earlier this year, Timothe Chalamets sandworm-riding descent into madness is now streaming on Max in the US. But it's far from the only
new movie to debut on streamers this weekend.

Elsewhere, Michael Manns slick automotive thriller Ferrari comes to Hulu , while Netflix subscribers can enjoy the arrival of Atlas , a new sci-fi thriller starring Jennifer Lopez and Simu Liu.

Below, we've rounded up the biggest new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video , Max, and more this weekend. Dune: Part Two (Max)

Less than three months after beginning its $700 million theatrical run, Denis Villeneuves stunning sci-fi epic Dune: Part Two is now streaming on Max in
the US (UK viewers will have to wait a little while longer for the film's debut on Sky).

This star-studded second chapter to the directors proposed Dune trilogy finds messianic prince Paul Atreides (Timothe Chalamet) joining forces with Chani (Zendaya) and the Fremen to take revenge against the Harkonnen conspirators who destroyed his family.

Suffice to say, Dune: Part Two is the movie of 2024 so far, having earned
rave reviews and reviving interest in Frank Herberts vast Dune universe
(which is set to be explored further in Warner Bros upcoming Max series Dune: Prophecy ). Its a shoo-in for a spot on our best Max movies list, and if you havent seen Dune: Part Two already, cancel your weekend plans and right that wrong immediately.

Now available to stream on Max. Ferrari (Hulu)

Having debuted on Sky in the UK earlier this year, Michael Manns stylish race-car drama Ferrari makes its US streaming debut on Hulu this weekend.

Set in the summer of 1957, this starry biopic follows legendary racer-turned-entrepreneur Enzo Ferarri (Adam Driver) as wagers the future of his bankruptcy-threatened company on the Mille Miglia, a treacherous
1000-mile race across Italy.

Penlope Cruz, Shailene Woodley and Patrick Dempsey also star in Ferrari , which critics described as an electrifying ride upon its release in December 2023.

Now available to stream on Hulu. Atlas (Netflix)

Atlas , the latest CGI-fueled action adventure from San Andreas director
Brad Peyton, is now streaming on Netflix.

This streaming-exclusive feature stars Jennifer Lopez as a gifted data
analyst tasked with capturing a renegade AI robot soldier (Simu Liu) who
plans on destroying humanity. If the films trailer is anything to go by, its basically iRobot meets Titanfall .

Critics have described Atlas as a silly Netflix mockbuster, so while it might not earn a spot on our list of the best Netflix movies , it sounds like the film could be a good way to switch your brain off this weekend.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Jurassic World: Chaos Theory (Netflix)

If you were one of the few people to catch all five seasons of Jurassic
World: Camp Cretaceous on Netflix, youll be glad to hear that a sequel
series, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory , has now landed on the worlds best streaming service .

This animated sci-fi adventure which is set six years after the finale of Camp Cretaceous sees the reunited Nublar Six embroiled in a deadly
conspiracy that could spell the end for both dinosaurs and humanity.

Chaos Theory is billed as a family-friendly show, but long-time Jurassic
Park fans will surely find plenty of lore-expanding drama to enjoy here.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Tires (Netflix)

If youre looking for an off-beat workplace comedy to enjoy this weekend, new Netflix series Tires could be worth a try.

Self-funded by US comedian Shane Gillis, this quickfire sitcom follows a hapless auto shop manager (Steve Gerben) as he strives to improve customer service and drive profits, all while keeping his troublemaking cousin (played by Gillis himself) in line.

Critics have described Tires as a middle finger to wokeness, which makes the show sound like a perfect fit for existing Shane Gillis fans.

Now available to stream on Netflix.

Now available to stream on Netflix. The Blue Angels (Prime Video)

If, like everyone else, you enjoyed Top Gun: Maverick and cant wait for its (inevitable) sequel, new Amazon documentary The Blue Angels could help tide you over.

Produced by director J.J. Abrams and Maverick star Glen Powell, this made-for-IMAX feature chronicles a year with the US Navys elite Flight Demonstration Squadron, from selection through to show season via months of challenging training.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. The Beach Boys (Disney Plus)

Disney has a real taste for music documentaries at the minute, and the latest retrospective to hit Disney Plus is The Beach Boys .

Through never-before-seen footage and interviews with The Beach Boys themselves, this feature-length film traces the titular bands journey from humble California beginnings to their unprecedented domination of global
music charts throughout the 1960s.

Critics have described Disneys The Beach Boys as heartfelt and entertaining, though the documentary supposedly ignores the darker side of the bands
success story.

Now available to stream on Disney Plus.

When it comes to new movies and TV shows to stream, not all weekends are created equal. June has already played host to new seasons of Bridgerton ,
The Boys and House of the Dragon , but this weeks crop of on-demand arrivals is decidedly less compelling.

Leading the charge is Trigger Warning on Netflix a new action-packed
thriller starring Jessica Alba while Federer: Twelve Final Days and Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini come to Prime Video and Hulu , respectively. Elsewhere, Five Nights at Freddy's makes its UK
streaming debut on Sky and Now.

Below, we've rounded up the biggest new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max , and more this weekend. Trigger Warning (Netflix)

If youre in the mood for a paint-by-numbers action thriller this weekend, Netflix (aka the worlds best streaming service ) has you covered with Trigger Warning .

The new Netflix movie stars Jessica Alba as a Special Forces commando-turned-barkeeper whose military skills come in handy when a violent gang starts to run rampant in her hometown. Mark Webber, Gabriel Basso and Anthony Michael Hall also star.

IndieWire's David Ehrlich described Trigger Warning as lifeless and
instantly forgettable (ouch!), but if youre just looking for a way to switch your mind off for a few hours, this could do the trick.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Five Nights at Freddy's (Sky, NOW)

Having debuted on Peacock in the US way back in October , Five Nights at Freddy's is now finally streaming on Sky and Now in the UK.

This feature-length adaptation of the hit horror videogame series stars Josh Hutcherson as a troubled security guard whose routine night shift at a once-successful, now-abandoned pizzeria is disturbed by a group of murderous animatronics.

Five Nights at Freddy's was produced by the same team behind M3GAN , The Black Phone and The Invisible Man , so expect plenty of blood-curdling surprises.

Now available to stream on Sky and NOW in the UK. Black Barbie (Netflix)

Arriving hot on the heels of the biggest film of 2023 (remember the one starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling?) is Black Barbie on Netflix.

This feature-length documentary which comes from Shonda Rhimes Shondaland production company tells the little-known story of three trailblazing women at Mattel who created the first Black Barbie. Expect talking heads and eye-opening archival footage.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini (Hulu)

The second of several documentaries on this weeks list of recommendations is Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini on Hulu.

This three-episode true crime series recounts the Gone Girl -style case of a supposedly devoted mother, Sherri Papini, who faked her own kidnapping and torture in 2016.

Vanity Fair's Eve Batey described Perfect Wife as the wildest true-crime
case youve never heard of, so genre fans should definitely consider this best Hulu show contender. UK viewers will have to wait until later in the year to catch it, though.

Now available to stream on Hulu in the US. Federer: Twelve Final Days (Prime Video)

This weeks factual Prime Video offering is Federer: Twelve Final Days .

Originally a home video that was never intended for public viewing, this feature-length film directed by celebrated Amy and Senna filmmaker Asif Kapadia chronicles the final 12 days of Roger Federers professional tennis career.

Featuring interviews from numerous rivals and friends, including Rafael
Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, Federer: Twelve Final Days has been described in one review by The Hindu as a rudimentary yet nostalgic account
of a sporting legends swansong, so Federer fans or indeed tennis fans,
period wont want to miss this one.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. The Accidental Twins (Netflix)

Joining Trigger Warning and Black Barbie on Netflix this weekend is new feature-length documentary The Accidental Twins .

This hard-to-believe story centers on the complex history and new identities of two sets of identical twins who were switched at birth (yes, switched at birth!) in Colombia.

Critics havent yet had a chance to praise or lambast The Accidental Twins , but the films synopsis suggests it could be among the best Netflix documentaries of the year so far.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Slave Play. Not a Movie. A Play. (Max)

Jeremy O. Harris celebrated Broadway production Slave Play gets the behind
the scenes treatment on Max this weekend.

Slave Play. Not a Movie. A Play. lifts the veil on the creative process that enabled Harris able to craft such an incendiary and genre-bending show, following the playwright as he encounters new actors and refines his script ahead of a tension-laden opening night.

Now available to stream on Max.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (June 28)

Date:
Fri, 28 Jun 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Description:
From a returning culinary drama to new Netflix rom-coms, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

June has already played host to new seasons of Bridgerton , The Boys and
House of the Dragon , but the summer of potentially award-winning entertainment is just getting started.

Leading the charge this weekend is FXs high-octane culinary drama The Bear , which returns for its third season on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK. Elsewhere, new Netflix movie A Family Affair comes to the worlds best streaming service , while Land of Women begins streaming on Apple TV Plus .

Below, we've rounded up the biggest new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix , Prime Video , Max , and more this weekend. The Bear season three (Hulu, Disney Plus)

Few TV shows have enjoyed as much success in such a short space of time (and for such a low production budget) as FXs The Bear , so its perhaps no
surprise that the series third season which is now streaming on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK arrives under a heavy weight of expectation.

New episodes of the Emmy award-winning culinary drama find Carmy (Jeremy
Allen White) and company grappling with the challenges of opening a high-end Chicago restaurant at a time when costs are high and custom is far from guaranteed.

Critics have described The Bear season three as still "great" and
"stressful" but at times also "aimless" and "messy" , so it sounds like the magic of the shows first two seasons could be wearing off. Still, existing
The Bear fans wont want to miss it.

Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK. A
Family Affair (Netflix)

The latest star-studded Netflix rom-com, A Family Affair , comes courtesy of Zac Efron, Nicole Kidman and director Richard LaGravenese.

This cheesy comedy centers on Zara (Joey King), a young woman who, while working as the personal assistant to a self-absorbed Hollywood star (Efron), discovers that her boss is having a secret romantic relationship with her widowed mother (Kidman). What could go wrong?

If that synopsis reads to you like a slightly twisted version of Prime Videos The Idea of You , then youre not alone. Critics have indeed described A
Family Affair as "a heavily medicated The Idea of You " that "wastes its A-list talent", so dont expect to see this one breaking onto our list of the best Netflix movies any time soon.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Land of Women (Apple TV Plus)

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria returns to small screen action this weekend in Land of Women on Apple TV Plus.

This six-episode adaptation of Sandra Barnedas novel of the same name follows a New York socialite (Longoria) who as she swaps The Big Apple for a small town in northern Spain after becoming embroiled in her husband's financial scandal. Victoria Bazua, Carmen Maura and Santiago Cabrera are among the
shows supporting cast.

The first two episodes of this "pretty and pleasant" drama as critics are calling it are available to stream now on Apple TV Plus. The remaining four installments are due to arrive weekly every Wednesday through July 24.

Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. WondLa (Apple TV Plus)

If youre after something a little different this weekend, Apple TV Plus subscribers can also dive into new animated series WondLa .

This seven-episode Skydance adaptation of Tony DiTerlizzi's best-selling book series, The Search for WondLa, centers on Eva, a curious teenager who, having been raised by a robot mother, emerges from her state-of-art bunker to discover a strange planet inhabited by aliens and covered with other-worldly fauna (think Fallout meets Avatar meets Moana ).

Jeanine Mason, Teri Hatcher, Brad Garrett and Alan Tudyk all lend their voice talents to WondLa , which could be among the best Apple TV Plus shows given its originality.

Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. My Lady Jane (Prime Video)

Prime Videos library of medieval-set TV shows expands this weekend with My Lady Jane .

Set in 16th century Tudor England, this eight-episode, multi-genre adaptation of the 2016 novel of the same name imagines an alternate history in which a teenaged Lady Jane Grey (Emily Bader) wasn't beheaded after a nine-day reign.

British comedy giants Jim Broadbent and Rob Brydon star alongside a host of relative newcomers in My Lady Jane , which critics have described as joyously bananas and infinitely watchable. Could this be among the best Prime Video shows of the year?

Now available to stream on Prime Video. Problemista (Max)

A24s much-delayed surrealist comedy Problemista finally debuts on Max this weekend after enjoying a brief theatrical run in March.

Written and directed by star Julio Torres, this off-beat drama centers on an aspiring toy designer (Torres) who lands a job assisting an eccentric-but-struggling art world outcast (Tilda Swinton) in New York. Together, the pair attempt to host a successful exhibition.

Being an A24 production, its perhaps no surprise that Problemista has earned rave reviews for being an imaginative and thoughtful film. Expect this one to make our best Max movies list soon.

Now available to stream on Max. I Am: Celine Dion (Prime Video)

This weeks one and only documentary pick is I Am: Celine Dion on Prime Video.

Directed by Oscar nominee Irene Taylor, this feature-length film shines a light on the Canadian superstars little-known battle with a life-altering neurological illness, while also showcasing the music and performances that shaped her world-beating career.

Now available to stream on Prime Video.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (July 5)

Date:
Fri, 05 Jul 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Description:
From blockbuster monster brawls to new Netflix comedies, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Its always a treat when box office-smashing theatrical releases finally make their way onto streamers, and this week sees the money-spinning monster brawler Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire debut on Max .

Elsewhere, Eddie Murphy returns to duty in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F on Netflix , while Space Cadet begins streaming on Prime Video . It's also Shark Week 2024, so there are plenty of shark-related documentaries to enjoy on
Hulu and Disney Plus , too if you've already exhausted our shark-inspired monster movies recommendations .

Below, we've rounded up the biggest new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (Max)

Sometimes, a movie is so patently ridiculous that it just works . Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire which is now streaming on Max is one of those movies.

This sequel to the equally absurd Godzilla vs. Kong finds its titular
monsters teaming up to take down a colossal threat hidden deep below the earths surface. Rebecca Hall, Kaylee Hottle and Brian Tyree Henry all reprise their roles from the previous film, as do of course! Godzilla and Kong.

Dont expect Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire to rewrite the action movie rulebook, but if youre looking for something to help switch your brain off this weekend, then this is arguably one of the best Max movies . UK viewers, though, will have to wait a little while longer for it to arrive on
streamers.

Now available to stream on Max in the US. Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F
(Netflix)

30-years after last donning his blue badge and pistol, Eddie Murphy reprises his role as renowned Beverly Hills cop Axel Foley in the appropriately named Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F on Netflix.

This sequel-cum-reboot sees Foley pulled back into the fray when the lives of his daughter, Jane (Taylour Paige), and old partner, Billy (Judge Reinhold), are threatened. As a result, Foley works with Jane and her ex-boyfriend Detective Bobby Abbott (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), to uncover a dangerous conspiracy (quelle surprise!).

Critics have described Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F as formulaic but still
funny, so although it might not be one of the best Netflix movies , it sounds like a worthwhile watch for existing franchise fans.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Space Cadet (Prime Video)

Continuing this weeks theme of pensive, slow-burning indie flicks (not) is Space Cadet on Prime Video.

This made-for-streaming movie stars Emma Roberts as a Florida party girl
whose fabricated resume lands her a spot on NASA's astronaut training program (think Legally Blonde meets First Man ). Naturally, she fares about as well
as you might expect.

Tom Hopper, Poppy Liu and Gabrielle Union also star in Space Cadet , which critics have described as lazy streaming slop (ouch!). Still, it could be a good one to stick on in the background.

Now available to stream on Prime Video. The Imaginary (Netflix)

Studio Ghibli fans, listen up: Spirited Away animator Yoshiyuki Momoses
latest directorial feature, The Imaginary , is now streaming on Netflix.

Based on A.F. Harrold's celebrated children's novel of the same name, this
new Netflix movie centers on Rudger (Kokoro Terada), an imaginary boy who learns that he will disappear if his creator, a young girl named Amanda (Rio Suzuki), forgets him.

Critics have described The Imaginary as a a moving and charming testament to the delights of dreaming, so it could be among the best Netflix movies of the year.

Now available to stream on Netflix. The Real Bros of Simi Valley: High
School Reunion (The Roku Channel)

A rare recommendation for Roku streaming stick owners here: The Real Bros of Simi Valley: High School Reunion is now available on The Roku Channel.

This feature-length continuation of Jimmy Tatros Facebook Watch comedy series
which itself was a parody of The Real Housewives and Jersey Shore finds the shows original cast linking up for their 10-year high school reunion. Tony Hawk, Tyler Posey, Zoey Deutch and Shaun White are among the new faces.

Now available to stream on The Roku Channel. The Man With 1000 Kids
(Netflix)

The first of two documentary picks on this weeks list is The Man With 1000 Kids on Netflix.

This three-episode docuseries tells the distressing story of Jonathan Jacob Meijer, a Dutch sperm donor who was accused of fathering hundreds of children and defrauding vulnerable families from all corners of the globe.

Critics have described The Man With 1000 Kids as gripping and chilling, so it could be among the best Netflix documentaries of the year so far.

Now available to stream on Netflix. Sprint: The World's Fastest Humans (Netflix)

Ever wondered what it takes to be a champion sprinter? Netflixs new documentary series, Sprint: The World's Fastest Humans , will show you.

This 10-episode, fly-on-the-wall series which comes from the producers of Formula 1: Drive to Survive and Full Swing follows athletes from all around the world, including Sha'Carri Richardson, Noah Lyles and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, as they bid to claim Usain Bolts crown as the fastest person on the planet.

Now available to stream on Netflix.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (July 12)

Date:
Fri, 12 Jul 2024 14:00:01 +0000

Description:
From mysterious robot sci-fis to the return of series favorites, theres
plenty to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Historical dramas are taking center stage this weekend. If you like Norse mythology from the Viking Age and 16th Century French royalty, then the
return of major series Vikings: Valhalla and The Serpent Queen are bound to keep you busy on Netflix and Hulu .

Elsewhere, you'll be able to watch Rashida Jones befriending a robot in a new Apple TV Plus sci-fi dark comedy series, animated supermarket groceries on Prime Video , as well as the Queen of Hearts (you know the one, from Alice in Wonderland) and Cinderella's daughters travel back in time. To round out our list, there's also a new hostage movie on Netflix called Vanished into the Night that looks like it will keep you on the edge of your seat, alongside a heartfelt esports documentary on Max .

Below, we've rounded up the biggest new movies and TV shows to watch on the best streaming services this weekend. Vikings: Valhalla (Netflix)

Ready to find out what happens next to Netflixs favorite seafaring, ax-waving warriors? The worlds most famous vikings Leif Erikson (Sam Corlett), Harald Hardrada (Leo Suter) and Freyds Eirksdttir (Frida Gustavsson) will embark on
a final voyage in the hugely popular historical fiction series Vikings: Valhalla s third and final season. Will they make it back to Norway alive?

You can now find out, with all eight episodes of the epic viking historical saga being released on Thursday, July 11 just in time for the weekend. We consider it to be one of the best Netflix shows and were not alone, with season twos epic 11th century road trip sitting with a flawless 100% on
Rotten Tomatoes so we have high hopes for the third installment. Sunny (Apple TV Plus)

The latest original sci-fi series on Apple TV Plus is a quirky mystery drama that will tug on your heart strings. Made by A24, Sunny is one of two new buddy comedies that the steamer is releasing, but this one has a darker comedic edge.

It follows a grief-stricken Suzie (Rashida Jones) as she tries to mourn the loss of her husband Masa (Hidetoshi Nishijima) and son Zen (Fares Belkheir) who both died in a mysterious plane crash with the help of a domestic robot called Sunny (Joanna Sotomura).

The first two episodes started streaming on Wednesday, July 10, with new episodes to be released on the same day weekly, and looking at the largely positive reviews rolling in, this one has the potential to be one of the best Apple TV Plus shows of the year. The Serpent Queen season 2 (Starz/Hulu)

One of the best Hulu shows , The Serpent Queen season two is now available to stream on Hulu .

Based on the book Catherine de Medici: Renaissance Queen of France by Leonie Frieda, the historical drama follows the life of Queen Catherine de Medici (Samantha Morton), who was one of the longest-serving rulers in French
history after she married into the 16th-century French court as a 14-year-old orphan. In season two, Catherine de Medici becomes the Queen Regent of
France, meanwhile she must try to avoid civil war and contending against
Queen Elizabeth I of England (Minnie Driver).

The critically acclaimed drama has a flawless 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, so if you're wanting to watch a stand-out period drama this weekend then The Serpent Queen season two is a must-see.

Now available to stream on Starz/Hulu in the US, MGM Plus in the UK and Stan in Australia. Sausage Party: Foodtopia (Prime Video)

Eight-years after the animated movie Sausage Party, comes this Prime Video series: Sausage Party: Foodtopia. After standing up against the human race in the first movie, Frank (Seth Rogen) and his friends have now set up a safe haven called "Foodtopia." But after a huge flood destroys their sanctuary, they are forced to join forces with humans to survive.

Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Edward Norton and Michael Cera all reprise their roles for this R-rated sequel. While we wait to find out if Sausage Party: Foodtopia would make it onto our best Prime Video shows list, it's ideal if you want some gross-out gags and hilarious idiocy to bring some entertainment to your weekend just make sure you don't watch it with kids, despite
cartoony appearances Vanished into the Night (Netflix)

Vanished into the Night is another addition to Netflix's ever-expanding thriller library. This Italian mystery stars Annabelle Wallis and Riccardo Scamarcio as estranged couple Elena and Pietro, whose young children
disappear without a trace on the outskirts of Bari, Italy. When the kidnapper demands 150,000 euros for their safe return, Pietro connects with a criminal from his past and embarks on a dangerous mission to save his kids.

Based on the Argentine-Spanish movie 7th Floor ( Sptimo ) by Patxi Amezcua
and Alejo Flah, it's been described as "silly and implausible, but tightly directed by De Maria, whose goal is to hold us in suspense and make us feel all harried and emotional". So it could be one to put on our best Netflix movies list. Descendants: The Rise of Red (Disney Plus)

Descendants: Rise of Red is the fourth installment to the Descendants franchise and a spin-off to the previous three movies. After the Queen of Hearts (Rita Ora) ignites a coup on Auradon, her rebellious daughter Red (Kylie Cantrall) and Cinderella's (Brandy) perfectionist daughter Chloe
(Malia Baker) team up and travel back in time to undo the devastating event that led Red's mother to villainy.

Fronted by a new cast, one critic said : "a pleasant surprise addition to the Descendants franchise, proving it can keep the same messages as the original movies." With colorful costumes and catchy music, it's definitely possible this might become one of the best Disney Plus movies . Quad Goals (Max)

With all kinds of stories stoking fear of AI right now, you might think that emerging technologies are scary business but these innovations also have the potential to transform lives.

In the new HBO documentary, Quad Goals, you'll meet the world's first all-quadriplegic esports team, which thanks to the help of a neuro-rehabilitation lab that gives them exoskeleton robotics, adaptive controllers and brain stimulation techniques are able make their shared
dream of competing come true.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (July 26)

Date:
Fri, 26 Jul 2024 14:00:40 +0000

Description:
From new Netflix and Apple TV Plus shows, to the start of 2024 Olympics, here's what's worth watching this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

It's been an unusually quiet week in the world of streaming. Not necessarily from a breaking news perspective there's always something to write about
but certainly from a 'new releases' one. We wonder if the theatrical launch
of Deadpool and Wolverine , the first and only Marvel movie of 2024, has anything to do with that... (Psst! go and read our Deadpool and Wolverine review while you're here).

But we digress. If, unlike us, you won't be watching one of 2024's most exciting new movies and want to stream something at home instead, we've got you covered. From new TV Originals from Netflix and Apple TV Plus , to the first of many Peacock round-up programs showcasing the biggest moments from the 2024 Olympic Games, which start on July 26, there's still enough to keep you entertained this weekend. Happy streaming! Olympic Highlights with Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson (Peacock)

The 2024 Olympic Games, which are taking place in Paris, France, finally kicked off today (Friday, July 26). If you're wondering where you can stream the best of the action worldwide, to read our guide on how to watch the 2024 Olympics .

"But what if I'm in work and can't watch them in real time?", we hear you
cry. Don't fret, because Peacock (in the US) will bring you all of the most noteworthy moments from one of the world's biggest sporting events. An eight-part series, Olympic Highlights with Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson will see the comedy duo, complete with their humor-laden flair, cover the most notable moments from this year's event. The first episode airs tonight, with two to three new entries debuting weekly until the Games end on August 11.

Not in the US? UK viewers can watch daily Olympic highlights on BBC One and BBC iPlayer , while Australian audiences can do likewise on Channel Nine. The Decameron (Netflix)

The new steamy medieval series The Decameron looks like Love Island meets the bubonic plague. The show sees a group of nobles and servants retreat to a villa as the Black Death spreads throughout Italy, but their lavish getaway quickly spirals into disaster. Their raunchy rendezvous is soon cut short
when the rich revellers start to fall ill and all morals are forgotten.

The Decameron is loosely based on Giovanni Boccaccios short story collection of the same name, where the nobles and servants tell each other stories to pass the time as they shelter from the Black Death in Villa Santa outside Florence. Raise a goblet to The Decameron as youre invited to the party of
the 14th century this weekend. Given its mixed reception, though, it might
not get invited to join our best Netflix shows guide. Time Bandits (Apple TV Plus)

If the name of this new Apple TV series sounds familiar, its because its
based on the 80s movie of the same name by Terry Gilliam. This time, Flight
of the Conchords Jermaine Clement and Jojo Rabbit director Taika Waititi are at the helm of the project, reimagining the story for Apple TV, marking the first time it has hit the small screen.

Friends star Lisa Kudrow leads an eccentric crew of bandits who embark on epic adventures while evil forces pose numerous threats along the way. During their travels, they see the creation of Stonehenge, the Trojan Horse in action, escape dinosaurs in the prehistoric ages, and wreak havoc during medieval times. So if youre in the mood for time travel chaos, this is the show for you. One to add to our best Apple TV Plus shows guide? That'll
depend on how popular it proves to be. Charlie Hustle and the Matter of Pete Rose (Max)

You may have already noticed that baseball is absent from the list of 45 sporting categories at the2024 Paris Olympics, and if that's a blow, then you'll likely be pleased to hear that over on Max , there's a new docuseries all about one of the most polarizing figures in the batting sport's history.

HBO's Charlie Hustle and the Matter of Pete Rose is a four-part documentary about MLB legend Pete Rose, who was handed a lifetime ban from playing after it was found it he was betting on games. It's a retrospective made up of hard-hitting talking head interviews that gives an insightful perspective on the real-life drama that occurred in 1989. Knox Goes Away (Max)

Michael Keatons latest action movie Knox Goes Away is the perfect choice if youre looking for a fast-paced thriller this weekend. He directed and starred in the movie, where hes playing the titular Knox character, a contract killer who is diagnosed with a rapidly evolving form of dementia and gets the chance to redeem himself by saving the life of his estranged son.

If its a star-studded line-up youre after, this movie sees Al Pacino and
James Marsden in supporting roles, so youll get familiar faces and plenty of thrilling sequences here. Its also got a nice runtime of just under two hours as well, making it perfect for a cosy night in. Potentially one to include on our best Max movies list. Resurrected Rides (Netflix)

Resurrected Rides offers a fresh twist on the favorite MTV classic Pimp My Ride that ran from 2004-07 by using modern automotive artistry to help owners transform their old cars with customized makeovers. Executive produced by
Pimp My Rides co-creator Rick Hurvitz, Resurrected Rides sees comedian Chris Redd work with car experts to breathe new life into battered vehicles.

You dont have to be a petrolhead to enjoy Resurrected Rides, so if you fancy
a laidback ride in the backseat this weekend, then try this motor makeover series. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (Prime Video)

This weekends big blockbuster action flick recommendation is the new Guy Ritchie movie The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare on Prime Video . Based on the true story of the first-ever special forces operation, formed during WWII by Winston Churchill, this slick spy, comedy follows an ensemble of
rebellious mavericks and rogues played by Henry Cavill, Eiza Gonzlez, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Henry Golding as they go on
a daring mission known in real-life as Operation Postmaster.

The movie is very loosely based on Damien Lewis 2014 book Churchills Secret Warriors: The Explosive True Story of the Special Forces Desperadoes of WWII
. Indeed, its an exaggerated version of the truth, with maverick characters and action sequences for the big screen, seasoned with witty dialogue and plenty of explosions. If youre a fan of spy movies then youll love this real-life early version of Bond, which includes a character based on Ian Fleming before he created the James Bond character. One to watch out for on our best Prime Video movies list? Perhaps.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (August 16)

Date:
Fri, 16 Aug 2024 14:00:20 +0000

Description:
From returning fan-favorite Netflix shows to numerous new movies, here's what's worth streaming this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

It's surreal to think that we're already halfway through August but, as we wave goodbye to another week of working hard, it's time to settle into your favorite spot in your house. Yep, the one parked right in front of your TV
(or smartphone, we're not judging you).

You'll want to do so this weekend, too. Indeed, there are plenty of fantastic new movies to stream on the likes of Max and Prime Video , such as Furiosa: A Mad Mad Saga , and the return of fan-favorite shows on Disney Plus and
Netflix , including Emily in Paris . No matter what genre you're most fond
of, TechRadar has got you covered with a veritable bounty of top-tier recommendations. Enjoy! Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (Max)

I've waited months for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga to make its home debut. Okay, I've been able to rent or but it on various video on-demand platforms since early July, but why would I pay to watch the Mad Max pre-sequel flick when I knew it was going to land on Max some time?

Well, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga has gobbled up some guzzoline, fired up its engine, and finally sped onto the super streamer. At the start of the month,
I didn't expect it to be one of August's new Max movies but, with Warner
Bros. Discovery confirming its official streaming debut on Max just one week ago (August 9), this is a wonderful surprise that came out of nowhere. I'll
be adding it to our best Max movies list accordingly, but not until I've streamed it more than once this weekend. Altogether now: Witness meeeee!

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Emily In Paris season 4 part 1 (Netflix)

I've watched all three seasons of Emily in Paris and can't wait for the next series after that huge cliff-hanger in season 3, so you can understand my excitement now that Emily in Paris season 4 part one is finally here.

For those that haven't seen it: Emily in Paris stars Lily Collins as Chicago marketing executive Emily Cooper, who moves to Paris to work for a French marketing firm. While there, she tries to navigate her complicated love life, friendships and work challenges that make for some amusing comedy capers.

It's silly, quirky and cheesy, which makes one of the best Netflix shows perfect for some light-hearted entertainment. Oh, and I can't wait to see
what outrageous fashion moments are in store for Emily in Paris season 4 part 1.

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Bad Monkey (Apple TV Plus)

Apple TV Plus' next big comedy from Ted Lasso's co-creator sounded
absolutely wild when its first-look images were released. The new whodunnit
is based on a Carl Hiaasen book, who is known for writing adventurous crime capers set in Florida with eccentric characters. I haven't read his work before, but he's a favorite author of contributing TechRadar writer Carrie Marshall, which is why she's nervous but optimisitic that Bad Monkey could be another Lincoln Lawyer .

While the series only started streaming on August 14, a consensus is already forming that Bill Lawrence has another hit on his hands. The show's creator
is behind two of the best Apple TV Plus shows in Ted Lasso and Shrinking, so we know that comedy dramas are his strong suit and, with Hiaasen's words narrating, there's plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. From what I've seen so far, Bad Monkey looks like a sun-kissed murder mystery with plenty light-hearted comedy for Apple fans to enjoy.

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor The Union (Netflix)

There's a star-studded cast at the forefront of one of 2024's new Netflix movies The Union , as Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry play an unlikely duo (I
am a big fan of unlikely duos, as it happens!).Here, Mike, a down-to-earth construction worker has his life turned upside down when his high school sweetheart Roxanne recruits him for a high-stakes US intelligence mission, which sounds pretty overwhelming, if you ask me, but its definitely a solid plot for an action flick.

It also sounds like great weekend viewing as sometimes you just want to turn your brain off and have a good time, and The Union sounds like it will
deliver on that (the jury is out on whether it'll join our best Netflix
movies list, mind you). Now, strap in and enjoy a new, fast-paced movie.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Jackpot! (Prime Video)

A comedy directed by Paul Feig? Count me in. As a fan of Feig's previous comedic work such as Bridesmaids, A Simple Favor , and Freaks and Geeks, I have high hopes for one of August's new Prime Video movies .

Jackpot! stars Awkwafina as Katie, a struggling actress who wins the lottery in California in 2030 but there's a catch, the law in this world allows anyone with a losing ticket to kill the winner before sundown and legally claim the jackpot. In exchange for a share of her winnings, amateur lottery protection agent Noel (John Cena) agrees to help keep her alive.

While early reviews show that it won't be one of the best Prime Video movies
, I actually enjoyed Cena's funny performance in another Prime Video comedy Ricky Stanicky, so I'm looking forward to seeing him once again in Jackpot!

Grace Morris, entertainment writer American Murder: Laci Peterson (Netflix)

True crime fans are getting a lot of content lately, and Netflix expands
their library of gripping documentaries with American Murder: Laci Peterson , a new docuseries about the disappearance of a pregnant woman from California, which ended in tragedy and shocked the local community.

It was revealed that her husband, Scott Lee Peterson murdered her and their son, Conner, where he was subsequently arrested and is still in prison today. This series will explore what happened during the 2002 murder case, and if you're unfamiliar with the case or have an interest in it, this could be the ideal documentary for you this weekend.One to add to our best Netflix documentaries list? Perhaps.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures season 2 (Disney Plus)

I'll never forget watching Star Wars for the first time on my sister's VHS special edition trilogy boxset. My younger self was terrified of Jabba the Hutt, but that didn't stop me from re-watching it over and over again the cassettes were never in the case! So, you can probably tell why I'm so
pleased to see Lucasfilm Animation continuing to release new Star Wars movies and Disney Plus shows for a younger audience, such as Young Jedi Adventures .

While Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures doesn't qualify as one of the best Disney Plus shows , it was clearly a hit with the younglings, gaining a 76% Rotten Tomatoes audience score and a season 2 renewal not long after its forebear aired. It's not a hard sell either: who wouldn't want to learn how
to become a Jedi Knight? For anyone who isn't a kid, it's a chance to be nostalgic for all the lightsaber adventures with Wookies and Death Stars you had when you were younger. Want to go back and re-watch the classics? Here's how to watch the Star Wars movies in order .

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (August 23)

Date:
Fri, 23 Aug 2024 14:00:30 +0000

Description:
From a new Netflix teen comedy movie to the return of an acclaimed Apple TV Plus show, here's what's worth watching this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

How have we nearly reached the end of August already? Well, time feels like it's flying by when there are so many new movies and TV shows to stream and this week is no exception. Indeed, the world's best streaming services are here to provide more content for you to consume, regardless of whether it's a normal two-day weekend or, if you're in the UK, delightful three-day weekend due to the final Bank Holiday of the year.

So, what's new this week? Netflix is coming in hot with a brand-new raunchy teen comedy, among other notable offerings, while Max is also going gung-ho with two big releases of its own. There's plenty more to wrap your eyeballs around on other services, too, so read on to learn more about them. Incoming (Netflix)

Incoming is a new Netflix teen comedy movie following four freshmen in high school as they get ready for their first school party. Based on this synopsis alone, you can expect chaos from start to finish, as said teens try to navigate a social event without making a total fool of themselves.

With a nice 91 minute runtime, one of August's new Netflix movies feels like
a great one to put on after a long day at work so you can switch off your brain and enjoy some laughs. Alongside the younger stars are It's Always
Sunny in Philadelphia 's Kaitlin Olsonand Robot Chicken 's Bobby Cannavale,
so there are some great comedic actors here. As always, the jury is out on whether it'll join our best Netflix movies list.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Pachinko season 2 (Apple TV Plus)

Based on the novel by Min Jin Lee, Pachinko follows four generations of a Korean family, starting from 1915 all the way up to 1989. Here, protagonist Kim Sunja fights for a better life in a Korea dominated by the Japanese.

A first look at season 2 of the acclaimed Apple TV Plus series teases the reunion of Koh Hansu and Sunja in Osaka during World War II, and it looks
like it will be as beautiful and as heartwrenching as the first instalment. The entire first season is available to stream now, and new season 2 episodes will be released each Friday.Expect this Apple-developed program's next chapter to cement its place on our best Apple TV Plus shows list.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Sven (Prime Video)

Prime Video isn't usually known for its documentary output, but Amazon's primary streaming service is providing the goods this week with Sven . A docufilm, that covers the life and career of former soccer manager Sven Goran Eriksson, who's perhaps best known for coaching the England men's football team (and becoming the nation's first foreign soccer boss in the process) between January 2001 and June 2006.

With first-person accounts of the Swedish football manager's emergence on the soccer scene and his cup-winning antics in Italy, to taking charge of England and the moving reality of his recent cancer diagnosis, Sven sounds like it'll make for fascinating and poignant viewing for soccer fans. As a long-time fan of the so-called 'Beautiful Game', I'll certainly be tuning in, not least because I want to relive the Three Lions' famous 5-1 drubbing of arch-rivals Germany. Prime Video's selection of sports docuseries are largely terrific,
so I know I'll be getting my money's worth with this one.

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1 (Max)

Yellowstone s Kevin Costner is continuing the Western theme with the first of his three-part movie series Horizon : An American Saga , which has landed on HBO Max's super streamer successor after it flopped in theaters. Also leading the cast as Hayes Ellison, the movie follows a variety of different characters as they discover the lure of the Old West and explore new territory.

Theres a great ensemble cast here including Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jamie Campbell Bower and Luke Wilson, so if youre looking for an epic with some big names attached, Max is the place to be this weekend.Just don't
expect this overly long, incumbered first installment to book a spot in our best Max movies guide.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Reasonable Doubt season 2 (Hulu/Disney Plus)

Legal drama fans will be happy to hear that Reasonable Doubt season 2 is out now on Disney Plus (internationally) and Hulu (US). The show follow Jax Stewart (Emayatzy Corinealdi), a successful and fearless defense lawyer in
Los Angeles who goes against the justice system at every opportunity. While you question her controversial ethics and outlandish interpretations of the law, you'll definitely need her when you're in trouble. Of course, this being a character-driven series, not only does she have high-profile cases to contend with, but also her own personal problems.

So, what's Jax up to this season? She's spoiler alert trying to get her
life back on track in season two following her risky affair and last seasons taxing trial. That's until one of her best friends reveals that she killed
her husband. Uh-oh. A high-stakes drama with messy consequences? Count me in and count on it joining our best Hulu shows and best Disney Plus shows guides soon.

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE (Netflix)

Netflix's new docuseries Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE follows 20 talented young women as they undergo a K-pop training programme for a highly-coveted spot on KATSEYE, HYBE x Geffen's first global girl group.

If it's anything like some of the best Netflix documentaries , such as America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, then I'm definitely in. Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE seems to have similar themes of young women determined to do whatever it takes to chase their dreams and the relentless physical endurance it takes to pull off a flawless performance. I just know I'll be in awe of their innate talents of singing, dancing, and ability to do both at the same time.

Grace Morris, entertainment writer City of God: The Fight Rages On (Max)

I remember studying the critically acclaimed Brazilian crime drama City of
God for my Film A Level, so I was intrigued to learn HBO was making a TV sequel upon its announcement. City of God: The Fight Rages On is set two decades after the events of the film and centres on Wilson 'Rocket'
Rodrigues, who's managed to escape the poverty-stricken favela and achieve
his dreams of becoming a photographer. He returns to his home town to
document the violent disputes between drug dealers, police, militiamen, and politicians that are ruining the residents' lives.

I'm interested to see how it'll recreate the authenticity and richness of the original film by bringing back some of the original characters, as well as seeing what exciting things the new cast can bring to City of God: The Fight Rages On. So far, it seems to be a sure-fire contender for inclusion on our best Max shows .

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (September 13)

Date:
Fri, 13 Sep 2024 14:00:30 +0000

Description:
From the return of fan-favorite Netflix shows to new action-packed movies, here's what's worth watching this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

We have officially entered fall/autumn in the northern hemisphere so, unless you're about enjoy some pleasant spring sunshine below the equator, we
imagine you're preparing to spend plenty of nights indoors as cooler weather takes hold.

You won't spend such occasions twiddling your thumbs, however, because the world's best streaming services plan to bring you plenty of movie and
TV-based content to consume. There's lots to enjoy this weekend, too so much so that we had a hard time deciding what seven new movies and TV series to include in this edition's round-up. We think we've done a good job of
catering to all kinds of viewers, though, so read on to see what's worth watching right now. Emily in Paris season 4 part 2 (Netflix)

Emily in Paris returned to Netflix in August with the first part of its long-awaited fourth season, and it saw American marketing executive Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) trying to balance her complicated personal and professional life at a marketing agency in Paris. Now, she's saying 'au revoir!' to the City of Love to swap the titular city for Rome in Emily in Paris season 4 part 2.

While it's not one of the best Netflix shows , I'm looking forward to seeing more amusing yet cheesy lost-in-translation moments for Emily in a different setting, as well as more drama when another new love interest comes on the scene in the form of an Italian heartthrob watch out, Gabriel!

Want more rom-com drama action like Emily in Paris season 4 part 2 after you've streamed it? Check out these three similar drama series with over 80% on Rotten Tomatoes .

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy (Disney Plus)

It's been nearly 25 years yes, I was as shocked as you are when I found that out since the first Lego Star Wars set was released. It's fitting, then,
that the Danish toy manufacturer and Lucasfilm's legendary sci-fi franchise have teamed up again to deliver another family-friendly, Lego-based adventure to enjoy in that famous galaxy far, far away.

A *ahem* 'four piece' miniseries, Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy stars Sig Greebling (voiced by Stranger Things ' Gatan Matarazzo), an unassuming nerf-herder who uncovers a powerful artefact when he stumbles upon a Jedi Temple. Long story short: activating this object completely alters the Star Wars timeline as we know it. Cue Sig embarking on a galaxy-spanning adventure where the good guys are bad, the bad guys are good, and the galaxy needs to
be reassembled from the ground up.

I'm still forlornly looking out of my window for Andor season 2 to be
released on Disney Plus , but Rebuild the Galaxy coupled with forthcoming live-action show Star Wars: Skeleton Crew should have enough to tide me over until one of the best Disney Plus shows returns sometime in 2025.

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Civil War (Max)

Strap in, because this is a Max road trip like no other. I've been wanting to re-watch Civil War ever since I first saw it in the cinemas and, while those in the UK and Australia can rent or buy it, the US is finally able to stream it on Max . Out of everything that's new this week, Alex Garland's (one of my all-time favorite directors) Civil War is our big blockbuster pick that'll have your heart pumping and your head racing.

From the moment we meet renowned war photographer Lee (Kirsten Dunst), you know you'll want to see her story out until the end. Indeed, in one of September's many new Max movies , she begrudgingly agrees to take a budding journalist photographer on a road trip to DC to try to capture a group of rebels planning to storm the White House (yes, this does hit close to home).

It's a story of succession and an unbiased view of the polarising political landscape in America that opens and closes with a bang, but its best part is the photography. The black and white stills shot on the best camera for pros, the Sonya7RV ,are phenomenal and haunting me. The DJI Ronin 4D was also used to give it an incredibly raw look and feel that's testament to the cinematography skills of the extremely talented Rob Hardy. You can absolutely count on us adding Civil War to our best Max movies list.

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor The Circle season 7 (Netflix)

I love Catfish and messy competition shows, so The Circle season 7 is a welcome new arrival. There's something fun about watching people lie to each other and try to cheat their way to money, which is possibly why The Traitors has also been an international success. And, in the digital age, it's just as interesting watching people create a social media profile from scratch, choosing whether to be yourself or someone else entirely.

Unlike other popular shows like Big Brother , contestants live in the same apartment complex but never meet, communicating exclusively via profiles instead. They're able to rate each other and send messages, but there can
only be one winner in this strangely addicting popularity contest.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer The Grand Tour: One for the Road (Prime Video)

All good things must come to an end and, honestly, after 22 years of working together, seeing Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond embark on
one final roadtrip feels bittersweet. I remember watching the trio on Top
Gear back in the day and, despite jumping ship to Prime Video years prior for a newly named but similar styled car-based series, nothings changed. Theyre still pranking each other, being hilariously British and, more importantly, filled with a passion for all things motoring. Im not even an enthusiast, but I grew up in a house of petrolheads, so it was inevitable that Id have a soft spot for a programme like this, even if it's not one of the best Prime Video shows .

In their final adventure, they drive their dream cars on a trip through Zimbabwe. You can expect some crazy challenges ahead and maybe even shed a tear, if the surprisingly heartfelt trailer is anything to go by.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Uglies (Netflix)

Based on the novel of the same name by Scott Westerfeld, one of September's new Netflix movies Uglies is set in a futuristic dystopian society where perfection is everything. Joey King plays Tally, a teen awaiting mandatory cosmetic surgery who goes on a journey to find her missing friend.

Dystopian book-to-screen movie adaptations have proven to be a big hit over the years, with the likes of The Hunger Games , Divergent, and The Maze
Runner all becoming a blockbuster success, so it's possible that Uglies could become one of the best Netflix movies . As a fan of sci-fi films, I have high hopes that it can follow the trailblazer's within the dystopian genre by shining a light on important issues all while captivating audiences.

Grace Morris, entertainment writer The Old Man season 2 (Hulu/Disney Plus)

Don't mess with Dan Chase (Jeff Bridges). If there's one thing we all learnt from The Old Man season 1, it's not to underestimate "an old man in a profession where men usually die young" yes, that's a quote from Kevin Lacz, a real-life Navy SEAL veteran who's platoon inspired the movie American Sniper, but it absolutely sums up one of the best Hulu shows .

The FX series, which airs on Hulu (US) and Disney Plus (internationally), is also an adaptation of Thomas Perry's novel book. It mostly stays true to its source material, too, which tells the story of a former army intelligence officer as he's forced out of his quiet retirement with his two dogs to keep his daughter safe from a hitman.

Now, it's back with a whole new season. Granted, there are some slow scenes
of dialogue that stretch out the runtime in season 1 but The Old Man season 2 has the potential to improve on this maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks?

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (September 20)

Date:
Fri, 20 Sep 2024 14:00:30 +0000

Description:
From new Marvel and DC TV shows to great drama and horror movies, here's what's worth watching this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

It's a clash of the comic book titans this week as Marvel and DC go head-to-head in a TV bout for the ages. Indeed, the Disney- and Warner-owned comic giants have released new shows this week, so you'll be incredibly unsurprised to learn that the duo lead our streaming recommendations for the weekend.

It isn't just Disney Plus and Max who are coming out swinging this week, though. Two more of the world's best streaming services have some new movies and TV shows to bring you on the stay-at-home watching front, too, so if you're not a fan of superheroes or cinematic comic book franchises, one of this article's other five suggestions should take your fancy. Enjoy! Agatha All Along (Disney Plus)

Just when I thought I'd finally got WandaVision 's incredibly catchy (and popular!) original song out of my head, Marvel has only gone and named an entire TV spin-off after it. That's right, Kathryn Hahn's delightful and morally complex Agatha Harkness is back, with the calculating witch's own series Agatha All Along finally launching in time for spooky season.

Stripped of her powers by Wanda Maximoff in WandaVision 's final episode, Harkness must cobble together her own coven of misfit witches to traverse the Witches' Road, a dangerous realm that, if successfully navigated, will turn a traveler's long-held dream into reality. No pressure, then, gang.

Based on its numerous trailers, this Marvel Phase 5 show looks like it could be another MCU TV project that dominates online discussions throughout its nine-episode run. I can't wait to see more after its campy, catty, chilling, and cackle-inducing two-episode premiere although, as I noted in my Agatha All Along review , I wished it leaned more into its horror roots. Anyway, altogether now: It was Agatha all alooooooong!

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Watch Agatha All Along on Disney Plus The Penguin (Max)

Colin Farrell's Oz Cobb/The Penguin was one of many highlights of mine in 2022's The Batman (you can read more on the others in my review of The Batman ). Even so, considering his screen time in a near-three-hour long movie, no less totalled a curt eight minutes, I was hesitant about the prospects of this sleazy, cunning criminal being able to star in one of the best Max shows ever made. ( NB: The Penguin is available to stream on Sky/Now TV in the UK and Binge in Australia.)

I need not have worried. The Penguin is an absolute blast from start to finish, with Farrell and co-lead Cristin Milioti's (she plays Sofia Falcone) performances making this unmissable miniseries. By the time it came to
penning my thoughts on the latest Batman live-action project, I'd only
watched the first two episodes. Even then, though, I could tell The Penguin deserved to sit alongside The Sopranos in HBO's crime drama pantheon . Now, having finished the full series, I'm tripling down on that opinion it's just that epic. Give Farrell and Milioti their 2025 Primetime Emmys trophies now, please and thank you.

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Watch The Penguin on Max Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story (Netflix)

Ryan Murphy's got quite a dark portfolio. From American Horror Story to
Dahmer Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story , he's taken viewers down some twisted paths. His foray into true crime continues with the latest in his Monster series, which focuses on Lyle and Erik Menendez, two brothers who
were convicted of the murder of their parents.

This double-murder resulted in a huge investigation that has gone down in American history, largely due to Court TVbroadcasting the trial. With some
big names like Javier Bardem and Chlo Sevigny involved, this dramatization is well worth the watch if you've got the stomach for it. A third instalment of Monsters will explore the life of serial killerEd Gein , portrayed by Sons of Anarchy lead Charlie Hunnam.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story on Netflix His Three Daughters (Netflix)

His Three Daughters already promises to be one of the best Netflix movies of 2024 with its 99% Rotten Tomatoes score and that's before it has even
started streaming on Netflix . His Three Daughters features a star-studded cast of Elizabeth Olsen, Carrie Coon, and Natasha Lyonne, who play three estranged sisters that reunite in New York City to care for their ill father. As the sisters wait at their father's bedside during his final days, they confront past resentments and face fresh struggles in their relationships.

I can tell this bittersweet portrayal of sisterhood in all its happiness and pain will have me laughing and crying until the very end, so I'm ready to strap in for the emotional rollercoaster ride with one of September's new Netflix movies .

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch His Three Daughters on Netflix A Very Royal Scandal (Prime Video)

Just like Netflix's Scoop , which aired earlier in the year , A Very Royal Scandal on Prime Video is another bombshell drama about Prince Andrew's explosive 2019 Newsnight interview. A Very Royal Scandal is a retelling of Newsnight journalist Emily Maitlis' journey leading up to her interview with Prince Andrew on the BBC Two news and current affairs programme.

Michael Sheen takes on the role of Prince Andrew, while Ruth Wilson plays Maitlis, so if the two leading stars are anything to go by, there's a possibility that this could end up as one of the best Prime Video shows .

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch A Very Royal Scandal on Prime Video Twilight of the Gods (Netflix)

Zack Snyder needs no introduction around these parts, but the
beloved/divisive director's (delete as applicable) partnership with Netflix got off to an inauspicious start with the arrival of his two-part Rebel Moon movie. Despite pulling in viewers when Rebel Moon Part 1 aired last December, both films' critical and commercial receptions left a lot to be desired, and it's unclear if Snyder's epic sci-fi franchise will be given the time,
effort, and money it demands to turn its fortunes around.

The former DC Cinematic Universe ( DCEU ) filmmaker, then, will hope this Norse mythology-inspired, R-rated animated series will fare better. Twilight of the Gods stars Sylvia Hoeks as Sigrid, an iron-willed warrior who, after assembling a ragtag group of crusaders, embarks on a death-defying mission of revenge after Thor murders her betrothed and on her wedding day, no less.
One to join similar adult animated fare like Arcane and BoJack Horseman on
our best Netflix shows list? I guess it depends on how bloody and thunderous it is.

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Watch Twilight of the Gods on Netflix I Saw The TV Glow (Max)

I Saw the TV Glow is still my favorite horror of the year. My colleague
Rowan Davies agrees, too, in his *ahem* glowing personal piece on I Saw The
TV Glow , where he explains how it made him re-watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer . It's easy to see why, as this powerful coming of age story does explore topics of identity, fandom, and more, with the help of a creepy fictional TV show called The Pink Opaque .

Horrors like this are special and don't come around all the time. This isn't jump scares galore or full of over the top gore (as much as there's a space for that) instead, it's subtle yet eerie throughout. Indeed, one of September's new Max movies not only relies on this sense of dread and discomfort, but a general deeply unsettling feeling that something is
missing. Two unlikely teenagers bond over this slightly campy, 80s-esque supernatural series, and the result is something as beautiful as it is haunting. To say too much would spoil it but I can't recommend it enough, so you can expect to see it on our best Max movies list very soon.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (October 4)

Date:
Fri, 04 Oct 2024 14:00:30 +0000

Description:
From the return of hit shows to new horror movies, here's what you'll want to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Spooky season is here and, to celebrate October's arrival, the world's best streaming services are primed to deliver frights aplenty over the next four weeks.

Some aren't hanging around, too, with the likes of Netflix and Max providing some early terrifying treats to stream this weekend. But, if you're not a horror aficionado, there are plenty of other less scary recommendations on this list, including the returning of two fan-favorite shows. So, whether you're ready to get your scream on or not, we're confident you'll find something worth watching over the next few days. Enjoy! Heartstopper season 3 (Netflix)

Heartstopper has taken the world by storm and it's easy to see why. This coming-of-age story tackles all sorts of tricky themes like LGBTQ+ representation, self-discovery, mental health, and more, so it's been refreshing to see a story like this do so well.

There are some great guest stars in season 3 too, like Marvel alumnus Hayley Atwell, who plays Nick's aunt, and Bridgerton 's very own Jonathan Bailey having a cameo as an author. As well as the series regulars, then, we've got some huge new names to fall in love with again in one of the best Netflix shows ' latest chapter. Just make sure you've got plenty of tissues to get
you through season 3 as it's another emotional one!

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Heartstopper season 3 on Netflix The Legend of Vox Machina season 3 (Prime Video)

It's hard to believe it's been nearly two years since The Legend of Vox Machina last graced our screens. But, with the underappreciated Prime Video R-rated animated series' third season out now on the streaming giant, I'm ready to be reunited with the titular gang of misfits as they embark on more hilariously gross and heart-poundingly dramatic adventures.

Picking up after the show's season 2 finale, the group known as Vox Machina continue their quest to end the tyrannical rule of the Chroma Conclave aka the seemingly unkillable dragons that currently rule Emon with an iron fist. Judging by season 3's official trailer, one of the best Prime Video shows is not only going to scratch my adult animated show itch again, but have me shouting at everyone (who'll listen, anyway) that they're missing out on an utterly fantastic series. Give it a whirl, why don't you?

Tom Power, senior entertainment writer Watch The Legend of Vox Machina
season 3 on Prime Video Salem's Lot (Max)

Stephen King novels been adapted multiple times down the years, including Salem's Lot , whose latest another remake just landed on Max. Previously, I was thrilled to see Salem's Lot 2024 had kept one integral detail and it does look like it's staying faithful to the source material in many ways, which is always a recipe for a great adaptation. The King of Horror has also stated he's happy with the overall product but, based on its early critical reception, it seems many don't agree with them.

Anyway, this is the perfect movie to kick off your countdown to Halloween, in my opinion. Salem's Lot has everything you could want from a classic horror flick creepy houses, even creepier vampires, and a brooding writer returning to his strange hometown. Maybe it'll be among the best horror movies you'll stream this year? I'm sure you, rather than King himself, will be the judge
of that.

Lucy Buglass , senior entertainment writer Watch Salem's Lot on Max It's What's Inside (Netflix)

Its Whats Inside is one of 2024's most-anticipated new Netflix movies and with good reason. After the buzz it gleaned following this year's Sundance Film Festival, which took place in January, Netflix forked out $17 million
for the rights for this psychological horror-thriller from Greg Jardin, who's mainly known for independent films, and

The neon laced trailer gives off similar vibes to A24's Bodies Bodies Bodies in that its group of young adults are in an opulent estate, before a wedding they're all due to attend, and play a game that soon gets out of hand. It sounds like a wild ride and I can't wait to get onboard to find out if it'll deserves to be included in our best Netflix movies guide.

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch It's What's Inside on Netflix The Franchise (Max)

Some of my favorite movies and shows are parodies. From Mars Attacks! poking fun at Independence Day, to Shaun of the Deads playful pun on Dawn of the Dead, I do love a comedic twist on films that take themselves a bit too seriously. Spoofs are even better, with the likes of Cabin in the Woods putting a spin on horror flicks and now The Franchise , which aims to pick apart the best superhero movies and their less esteemed genre cousins.

But, it's not just a critique on the sub-genre. The new series also takes aim at the entertainment industry, just like Extras and Episodes did before it. Looking at the trailer and what I've read of the plot, the new comedy series pokes fun at Hollywood superhero movies like the MCU follows a filmmaking
crew as they try to make the next big screen hit. It comes from the talented minds of Jon Brown ( Successsion) , Armando Iannucci ( The Death of Stalin) and Sam Mendes ( Skyfall), so it has the potential to be one of the best Max shows .

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch The Franchise on Max Hold Your Breath (Hulu/Disney Plus)

Now I'm not a horror fan, but if it has the legendary Sarah Paulson in it, I can't help but tune in. With spooky season upon us, Hold Your Breath (out now on Hulu and Disney Plus ) could be the perfect watch to gear up for
Halloween, too. Paulson stars as Margaret, a mother bringing up two young daughters in 1930s Oklahoma. Haunted by the past, she descends further into madness as she becomes convinced that a mysterious presence in dust storms is threatening her family and takes desperate measures to protect them.

After seeing Paulson in Bird Box , Ratched , and Run, I have no doubt that she'll put on a terrifyingly good performance in Hold Your Breath. But, we'll have to wait and see if it makes it onto our best Hulu movies and/or best Disney Plus movies lists.

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Hold Your Breath on Hulu (US) and Disney Plus (internationally) Love Is Blind season 7 (Netflix)

After watching Love Is Blind UK , I can't wait to watch Love Is Blind season 7. This time, 29 singles from Washington DC are braving the pods in a bid to find ever-lasting love without ever seeing each other.

However, as emotional connection attempts to conquer physical attraction, sometimes the unusual experiment doesn't work for everyone (although there
has been several marriages and two babies produced from the show), and this often leads to drama, love triangles, secrets, and heartbreak. As a reality
TV fan , I can't help but love it!

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (October 11)

Date:
Fri, 11 Oct 2024 14:00:40 +0000

Description:
This week's streaming recommendations list is packed with new shows and movies, plus some returning fan-favorite series.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Another weekend has rolled around, so it's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy some brand-new content from the world's best streaming services . Expectedly, Netflix leads the way with two anticipated offerings a returning TV fan favorite, plus a new animated series but its competitors have also rustled
up a number of new movies and shows of their own to pique the interest of their userbase.

No matter which platform you're subscribed, then, you'll find something fun worth watching after a long week at the office, university, or school.
Without further ado, then, these are the films and TV series you need to
catch before Monday morning. Outer Banks season 4 part 1 (Netflix)

Ahoy, me hearties! Ready to get back on board with the Outer crew? The sun-kissed treasure hunting series' fourth season has arrived (or, rather, part 1 has), so we'll finally be able to see how the Blackbeard treasure hunt is going that we first heard about at the end of season 3.

I love nothing more than a sea tale, and the stories of pirates from the
1700s are some of my favorite, especially about the infamous Blackbeard. The pirate's ship has been found in real-life but in Outer Banks, it's still
lost. That's where an elderly man called Wes Genrette (David Jensen) comes
in, who has the captain's log with records of where the ship sailed to before it was shipwrecked. Will the 'Progues' find the lost treasure? Go stream the popular show's latest episodes to find out.

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch Outer Banks season 4 part 1 on Netflix Citadel: Diana (Prime Video)

Let's address the elephant in the room: Citadel , the expensively assembled Prime Video spy series that debuted in early 2023, was not good. Indeed, despite its obvious star power and potential to be the streamer's next TV Original hit, I said The Night Agent and James Bond had nothing to worry
about after I streamed Citadel 's first few episodes and, after its public release, it seemed many viewers agreed with my sentiments.

That hasn't deterred Amazon MGM Studios, though, as the e-commerce giant's entertainment division is bringing us two spin-offs before 2024 ends . The first of those, Citadel: Diana , will aim to get the franchise back on solid ground. Its trailer (see above) suggests it may do that but, after watching its first episode pre-release, I'm not sure it will. Don't count on it
joining our best Prime Video shows unless it rapidly turns its fortunes
around in its five remaining chapters.

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Watch Citadel: Diana on Prime Video Caddo Lake (Max)

As a thriller fan, I can't wait to tune in and watch Caddo Lake, which is produced by the new Max film produced by M. Night Shyamalan who is, of course, renowned for his psychological thrillers. So, what's it about? Well, when an eight-year-old girl mysteriously disappears, a series of past deaths and disappearances at Caddo Lake start to come together that forever changes
a fractured family's history.

Caddo Lake stars Dylan O'Brien among many others, and I've always thought he's put in strong performances when it comes to thrillers like The Maze Runner franchise, so I'm looking forward to seeing him in one of October's
new Max movies . Combine this with the fact that Caddo Lake looks to be a
real genre blender of horror, mystery, thriller and drama, then we could have one of the best Max movies on our hands.

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Caddo Lake on Max Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft (Netflix)

Lara Croft has seen many iterations. Whether it's Keeley Hawes in the
original Tomb Raider video game series or Angelina Jolie in the early 2000s
(I liked those, okay?), you must've been living under a rock if you haven't heard of the iconic archaeologist. Now, she's back in a very personal eight-part series where she's on the hunt to find an artefact that someone stole from Croft Manor. Why you'd steal from a double pistol wielding adventurer is beyond me, but someone had the guts to do it.

This time, Lara is voiced by Hayley Atwell, who has appeared throughout Marvel's Captain Americ a movie trilogy, some of which are the best Marvel movies . She's joined by two of Lara's trusty sidekicks Jonah and Zip, who
are my favourite Tomb Raider characters outside of the legend herself. But will that be enough to get it into our best Netflix shows feature? Only time will tell.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft on Netflix Disclaimer (Apple TV Plus)

Celebrated filmmaker Alfonso Cuarn has landed his own Apple TV Plus show and Im very intrigued to see where this one goes. In my Disclaimer trailer reaction , I compared Cate Blanchetts character to her now iconic Lydia Tr, and it looks like shes about to deliver another compelling performance as a respected journalist whose life is turned upside down when she discovers shes a character in a novel that supposedly reveals her darkest secret.

I really hope that this is one we can add to our best Apple TV Plus shows list, but well have to wait and see. Either way, a collaboration between
Cuarn and Blanchett is one Ive been excited about ever since it was
announced, so I'll definitely be tuning into Apple's streaming platform to
see it.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Disclaimer on Apple TV Plus La Maquina (Hulu/Disney Plus)

Hulu and Disney Plus couldn't have chosen better stars for its first Spanish-language series. La Mquina will see long-time friends Gael Garca Bernal ( Werewolf by Night ) and Diego Luna ( Andor ), who previously worked together on the western satire Casa de Mi Padre in 2012, take on the roles of two best friends preparing for a boxing comeback.

The plot reads very much like Rocky or Creed in that it's about a boxer preparing for their next match with the help of their manager. Bernal plays Esteban Osuna, who's at a low point in his boxing career, while Luna takes on the role of his determined manager Andy Lujan. This has the potential to be a knockout, so keep an eye on our best Hulu shows and best Disney Plus shows lists to see if it lasts the distance and wins the day.

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch La Maquina on Hulu (US) and Disney Plus (internationally) Tuesday (Max)

The latest in a long line of A24-developed movies to land on Max, Tuesday follows a mother (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and her teenage daughter (Lola Petticrew) as they confront Death when it arrives in the form of a talking bird to help them cope with the daughter's impending death.

Tuesday certainly sounds like it's going to have me in tears, especially
with Seinfeld star Louis-Dreyfus shedding her comedic skin for this
powerfully moving performance about love and loss. Not only that, but The Guardian called it a "weird, wrenching and wildly ambitious [movie]" that's also "an achingly sad oddity". Now I definitely need to see what this heart-breaking fairytale is all about.

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Tuesday on Max

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (November 1)

Date:
Fri, 01 Nov 2024 15:01:44 +0000

Description:
From the return of hit Netflix shows to a number of new movies, here's what's worth streaming this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The first weekend of November has arrived, and there's a pleasing mix of genre-specific new movies and shows to enjoy on the world's best streaming services .

The return of The Diplomat on Netflix notwithstanding, this week's offerings aren't as headline-grabbing as they have been recently. Nonetheless, that means you'll have to leave your streaming comfort zone and sample something entirely new, which is always worth doing if you ask us.

Anyway, these are the seven biggest new TV series and films worth watching before the working week starts up again. Enjoy! The Diplomat season 2 (Netflix)

The Diplomat is one of the best Netflix shows around and its second chapter promises to be a gripping affair, with season 2's teaser trailer clearing up an important question about the show's return.

Following last season's explosive finale, Keri Russell's Kate Wyler discovers that spoilers! the deadly explosion, which nearly killed her almost ex-husband Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell), was an inside job directed by the
British government. Kate goes on a mission to uncover the truth while trying to balance her fractured marriage, a complicated relationship with British Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi), and a threatening visit from Vice President Grace Penn (Allison Janney).

The Diplomat is another addition to Netflix's top-tier selection of
political thrillers. With my personal favorite, The Night Agent season 2 ,
not returning until 2025, The Diplomat season 2's high-octane action and heart-pounding thrills is just what I need this weekend.

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch The Diplomat season 2 on Netflix Wizards Beyond Waverley Place (Disney Plus)

What better way to keep the Halloween Week thrills going this weekend then to sit back with a returning Disney Channel Show filled with wizards and magic? The new fantasy series Wizards Beyond Waverly Place has nine episodes available to stream on Disney Plus and it looks like perfect viewing for the entire family.

A sequel to the popular teen sitcom Wizards of Waverly Place from the late 2000s, it sees David Henrie and Selena Gomez reprise their roles as siblings Justin and Alex Russo, who are now grown ups trying to lead a 'mortal' life. Well, that's until Alex brings home Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown), who's in
need of some magical help.

Will Justin be able to remember his magical training? Can he mentor the young wizard-in-training Billie while also keeping the future of the 'Wizard World' safe? There's a 'magical' button below that'll take you to Disney Plus to
find out, so click it and see if it can conjure up a place on our best Disney Plus shows list.

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch Wizards Beyond Waverley Place on Disney Plus Olivia Rodrigo: Guts World Tour (Netflix)

This one's for all the fans that missed out on getting tickets to the ongoing concert tour of pop's brightest new star: Olivia Rodrigo. When news first dropped that she was getting a larger-than-life Netflix spectacle similar to what we've seen with Taylor Swift and Beyonc, TechRadar's Rowan Davies couldn't help but see it as another reminder of failing to score tickets to one of this years biggest tours .

Luckily, we can all now get a piece of the action from the sold out August 21 show in the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, as Olivia Rodrigo: Guts World Tour is available to stream. Given its blinding success on the road, I'm going to go out on a whim and say that this is going to get a high enough rating from critics and, whisper it quietly, even qualify for our best Netflix movies guide (check back soon).

Want to keep the party going after watching this one? I recommend these five favorite music movies with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes to stream next.

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch Olivia Rodrigo: Guts
World Tour on Netflix Music by John Williams (Disney Plus)

No matter whether you're a film fanatic or more of a casual moviegoer, you'll have watched a movie whose music has been scored by the incomparable John Williams. Indeed, the legendary composer has written iconic soundtracks for beloved franchises including Star Wars and Indiana Jones, as well as standalone flicks like Jaws , E.T , Schindler's List , Superman: The Movie , JFK ... the list goes on and on.

As a big fan of Williams' famous back catalog, then, this documentary celebrating the adored musician's life and body of work is right up my alley. Featuring many of his most well-known pieces of music, as well as interviews with his closest collaborators (Steven Spielberg among them), industry
titans, and other famous faces who've been touched by his artistry, Music By John Williams looks like the kind of Disney Plus docufilm that'll confirm my adoration for the man behind some of the movie industry's most recognizable film scores.

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Watch Music By John Williams on Disney Plus Paris Has Fallen (Prime Video)

If one political thriller wasn't enough for you this week, Paris Has Fallen
on Prime Video is also worth a gander. Gerard Butler introduced us to the Has Fallen blockbuster franchise in 2013 and now he's taken a back step as an executive producer for this spin-off series set in the French capital.

Paris Has Fallen follows French security officer Vincent Taleb (Tewfik Jallab) and British MI6 operative Zara Taylor (Ritu Arya), who join forces when a terrorist group attack a high-profile embassy reception, with the French Minister of Defence as their target. However, when things take a dark turn, Vincent and Zara soon discover that the plan goes far beyond than what they had imagined. Not only will I be watching Paris has Fallen to see if Butler makes a cameo as Secret Service agent Mike Banning from the original movies, but also to witness Arya as a hotshot super spy as she's brilliant in The Umbrella Academy . I'm not sure, though, if it'll have enough about it to join our best Prime Video shows list.

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Paris Has Fallen on Prime Video Janet Planet (Max)

Whether its my favorite movie of the year in I Saw the TV Glow, or other iconic modern horrors like Hereditary or Midsommar ., Max is home to many big A24 hits in the US. But, despite the fact they've made some of the best
horror movies , A24 is certainly not limited to one genre. The production company is just as good at dramas and Janet Planet is among them.

The directorial debut for Annie Baker, the filmmaker has already made quite
an impression with this coming-of-age drama about an 11-year-old girl called Lacy and her relationship with her mother Janet. These two powerful lead performances make it worthy of a recommendation, and the slower pace does not take away from its quality. If anything, it elevates it. Don't be shocked if it winds up on our best Max movies list.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Janet Planet on Max You
Would Do It, Too (Apple TV Plus)

I've devoured many of the best Apple TV Plus shows by this point, but Apple's streamer continues to impress me with its unique, fresh offerings. Indeed, while I've never been more impatient for a series to return than Severance season 2 , I increasingly find myself spending a lot of time watching other
TV Originals on the platform.

The arrival of You Would Do It Too, a gripping new eight-part series that
sees a bus hijacked by three robbers who end up dead before they can get
away, prompting detectives and former lovers to try to uncover the truth behind the six witnesses' inconsistent timelines, may be next on my to-do list. Since they can't interrogate the robbers themselves, they have to rely entirely on eyewitness statements. So, what's the truth and will we ever find out? I can't wait to find out.

Apple TV Plus

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (November 15)

Date:
Fri, 15 Nov 2024 15:01:00 +0000

Description:
From the arrival of a new Marvel movie, to the return of hit shows, there's lot to look forward to this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

I'm going to be honest, dear reader. There's only one thing I'll be streaming this weekend and, surprise surprise, it'll be the second part of Arcane season 2 . Yes, as I state in my Arcane season 2 review , I've already
watched every episode multiple times, but can't a guy stream them again?

If, for some utterly bizarre reason, you won't be tuning into Arcane 's next three episodes over the next 48 hours, there are other new movies and shows that'll surely grab your attention. Indeed, from the official streaming debut of a new Marvel movie to the return of hit series, you'll find something
worth watching on the world's best streaming services . Have fun! Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Deadpool and Wolverine (Disney Plus)

The only Marvel movie of 2024 has finally made its Disney Plus debut and
it's about darn time. Admittedly, I'm not surprised it's taken so long for Deadpool and Wolverine to join the streamer's movie library indeed, when you're raking in money at the global box office, you'll stick around on the big screen for much longer than anticipated.

Nevertheless, I've been itching to see it again since late July, so I'm delighted that the Marvel Phase 5 film is now available to stream. It's one
of the best Marvel movies to land in theaters as part of the Marvel
Multiverse Saga, after all, so one of November's new Disney Plus movies has been high on my re-watch list for a while.

Before you watch The Merc With a Mouth and his adamantium-clawed bestie
embark on a multiversal adventure, though, read my Deadpool and Wolverine review for a taste of what's to come. Once you've streamed it, be sure to
read my Deadpool and Wolverine ending explained piece, plus my Deadpool and Wolverine cameos guide, for even more wondrous coverage.

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Watch Deadpool and Wolverine on Disney Plus Cobra Kai season 6 part 2 (Netflix)

Cobra Kai season 6 has decided to end on a dramatic note. We're used to Netflix dropping seasons in two parts, but this one is getting three so, if you thought season 6 part 2 was the end, you were wrong! The final five episodes arrive in 2025, so we don't have to say goodbye yet.

Personally, I've had an absolute blast with this series and it's been so
great to see a modern day expansion of the iconic Karate Kid lore. Seeing
some familiar faces and some big surprises along the way has been terrific
and I know the ending is going to be bittersweet.

There's a reason this is one of our best Netflix shows . Cobra Kai 's legacy simply cannot be ignored; it's cool, heartfelt, has a banging soundtrack, and we're all on the edge of our seats waiting for that grand finale. I just know it'll go out on a high, even if I will miss hanging out in the dojos. For
now, though, I'll be enjoying this next batch of episodes.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Cobra Kai season 6 part 2 on Netflix Dune: Prophecy (Max)

Denis Villeneuve's Dune and follow up Dune: Part Two delighted viewers
myself included by treating us all to a big screen epic that dives into the huge lore originally penned by Frank Herbert. There's so much going on in
this world, so it's hardly surprising a prequel series has dropped on Max. They've even made a video game set in the world, so the possibilities are seemingly endless.

The six episode series is set 10,000 years before the ascension of Timothee Chalamet's Paul Atreides, following two Harkonnen sisters as they combat forces and establish the sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit.

It's still too early to say whether or not it'll become one of our best Max shows , but HBO has a knack for smashing out huge hits. Just look at how much critics and general viewers loved The Penguin and you'll know what I'm
talking about. I'm really hoping Dune: Prophecy will be just as good, but
only time will tell.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Dune: Prophecy on Max (US), Sky/Now TV (UK), and Binge (Australia) Emilia Perez (Netflix)

Directed by Jacques Audiard, Emilia Prez follows cartel leader Emilia (Karla Sofa Gascn) who enlists unappreciated lawyer Rita (Zoe Saldaa) to help fake her death so she can have sex-reassignment operations and live a new life under a new name: Emilia Prez. I'm not usually a lover of musicals, but when
I saw the trailer for Emilia Prez , I instantly added one of November's new Netflix movies to my ever-growing watchlist for its audacious song and dance numbers.

Emilia Prez doesn't fit within any conventional genre indeed, it's been described as a musical crime saga, which also serves as an opera and a
comedy. Whatever it is, it's something that both Netflix and I need right
now. With 82% on Rotten Tomatoes, it's likely to earn a spot on our best Netflix movies list, too.

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Emilia Perez on Netflix Cross
(Prime Video)

Prime Video loves a good ol' book adaptation with the likes of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan and Alex Rider. Now, there's another one to add to the list in the form of crime drama Cross. Based on James Patterson's book series, albeit a show that tells an original story not depicted in the novels, Aldis Hodge steps into the role of talented homicide detective and forensic psychologist Alex Cross. As he and his partner John Sampson (Isaiah Mustafa) track down a serial killer, his personal struggles threaten to ruin his career and life.

I can always count on a high-octane cop thriller to keep me entertained. And, with Cross renewed for a second season before this chapter even aired, that's a hopeful sign it might be one of the best Prime Video shows . Alex Cross may have a new fan on his hands and that fan is most certainly me.

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Cross season 1 on Prime Video Silo season 2 (Apple TV Plus)

It's time! The hit Apple TV Plus show Silo season 2 has finally re-emerged from its underground bunker to bring you the first episode of its new 10-episode installment. For fans of one of the best Apple TV Plus shows ,
it's been a long wait to get here. Following the show's renewal in June 2023, production had been forced to pause due to the Hollywood writers' strikes, which prompted Rebecca Ferguson to reveal (exclusively to TechRadar) that season 2 was a long way from makings its debut .

That wait is now over, which means fans can finally find out what happens
next to Ferguson's character Juliette Nichols after season 1's shocking cliffhanger ending. Based on Hugh Howey's dystopian book series, the BAFTA award-winning Apple show is filled with "big mysteries" that are only set to get bigger in the next chapter, according to showrunner Graham Yost . If you want to keep the sci-fi thrills going this weekend, then here are four more highly-rated shows on Apple TV Plus .

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch Silo season 2 on Apple TV Plus Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson (Netflix)

We don't normally recommend sporting tournaments or live events, but when one of the greatest heavyweight champion world fighters is stepping into the ring with a YouTuber for a completely free event on Netflix, it's hard to ignore. After all, DAZN is the heavy hitter when it comes to boxing streaming rights
here's all you need to know about boxing on DAZN if you're a fan of the
sport so it's surprising that this is being aired for free (as long as
you're a Netflix user, anyway).

Well, not that surprising when you see how much of a spectacle this fight is brewing online Mike Tyson is known as an entertainer right? Critics are of course up in arms about what this fight means for the sport, saying it promotes profiteering and damages the legacy of the sport. Whichever corner
of the ring you sit in, it's going ahead and you'll be able to tune in at 7:00pm ET tonight (November 15). Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch Ridley Scott's latest sequel Gladiator II .

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (November 22)

Date:
Fri, 22 Nov 2024 15:01:00 +0000

Description:
There are plenty of new movies and TV shows to choose from this weekend, including the end of an award-winning Netflix series.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The penultimate weekend of November 2024 is upon us and, while the US' Thanksgiving celebrations are still a week away, the world's best streaming services have served up a delicious feast of new movies and shows to enjoy over the next few days.

There have been so many new films and series released this week that my colleagues and I have struggled to whittle down this list to just seven entries, too. Indeed, whether it's HBO's new crime thriller Get Millie Black or two other n ew Netflix movies in Joy and The Piano Lesso n, we just couldn't fit everything into this week's streaming recommendations guide.

But enough chatter! Grab some snacks and settle in for a session or three in front of the TV after a long week. Enjoy! - Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Arcane season 2 act 3 (Netflix)

Have you got your tissues handy? You'll need them, because the final three episodes of Arcane season 2 will likely break our hearts. With Arcane 's second season bringing the award-winning animated series to a close , too, there'll be no more chapters to enjoy after they're released on Netflix tomorrow (Saturday, November 23).

Nevertheless, even though I know it'll be a bittersweet end to one of the
best Netflix shows ever made, I plan to enjoy Arcane 's last hurrah as much
as I can. I haven't watched act 3 ahead of time, either, so I'll be tuning in with the rest of you to see every jaw-dropping moment as they play out.
Before you stream them, read my Arcane season 2 act 2 ending explained piece to remind yourself what happened last time out. Then, take a deep breath you'll need to! and hit play. See you on the other side, everyone.

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Watch Arcane season 2 act 3 on Netflix Blitz (Apple TV Plus)

A highly-anticipated historical war drama by Steve McQueen, Blitz is one of four new Apple TV Plus movies and shows we're excited to stream in November. Set in London during World War II, nine-year-old George (Elliot Heffernan) is evacuated to the countryside by his mother Rita (Saoirse Ronan) to escape the Blitz. Determined to return to his mother, George embarks on a perilous journey back home as Rita goes on a desperate search to find him.

There's no doubt that Apple TV Plus is home to an array of high quality content I mean, it was crowned TechRadar's Streaming Service of the Year for this very reason. Some of its best Apple TV Plus movies have attracted an array of A-list actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Jennifer Lawrence, and Tom Hanks. Now, Oscar-nominated actress Saoirse Ronan is set to put on another astounding performance in the period drama Blitz . I'm getting the tissues ready!

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Blitz on Apple TV Plus Spellbound (Netflix)

One of November's many new Netflix movies Spellbound follows Princess Ellian (Rachel Zegler), the young princes of Lumbria who goes on a quest to save her family after a spell transforms her parents into monsters.

Ahead of my press screening (keep an eye out for my full review this
weekend), I was expecting it to be your average children's animated fantasy. However, I left feeling surprisingly emotional at the film's moving message that many families will appreciate. Indeed, Spellbound, which may have enough about it to join our best Netflix movies, is a heart-warming and magical adventure set in a vivid world that's perfect for all the family. Oh, and there's some catchy songs to get you dancing!

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Spellbound on Netflix Cruel Intentions (Prime Video)

When it comes to '90s teen dramas, Cruel Intentions was one of the biggest movies of the time. Its story of bored, scheming step siblings (Sarah
Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillippe) at an elite school who try to seduce a
new student (Reese Witherspoon) as part of a twisted bet is not something you'd expect to be remade into a TV show nowadays, but Amazon has done
exactly that.

Not many were thrilled by the idea of a Cruel Intentions TV remake , so it's probably not surprising that the new series has a Rotten Tomatoes score of just 22% since it landed on Prime Video . While it won't make the cut for one of the best Prime Video shows , the original movie is available for free on Amazon Freevee in the US, plus Prime Video in the UK and Australia. It might not have a great critical rating either, but it does have an incredible soundtrack.

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch Cruel Intentions on Prime Video The Sex Lives of College Girls season 3 (Max)

If you're looking for more elite student college drama, then season 3 of The Sex Lives of College Girls , which was part of everything new on Max in November .article, is out now, too. The first episode of the returning comedy series debuted on Max on Thursday (November 21), and new episodes will air weekly from then on until January 23, 2025.

For those unfamiliar with its premise: this teen series follows roommates Whitney (Alyah Chanelle Scott), Bela (Amrit Kaur), Kimberly (Pauline
Chalamet) and Leighton (Rene Rapp) studying at the fictional Essex College. It's been a hit with audiences and critics alike, and has 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of the best Max shows .

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch The Sex Lives of College Girls season 3 on Max (US only) Making Manson (Peacock)

There's always a great deal of intrigue when a new true crime documentary airs. Recently, Netflix has led the charge with movies like Woman of the Hour and the latest in Ryan Murphy's Monsters franchise . If you're in the mood
for something similar, then, Peacock is bringing us up close and personal to one of America's most notorious killers: Charles Manson.

This docuseries is described as "offering unfiltered insights into America's most notorious killer, Charles Manson. Through 20 years' worth of never-before-aired conversations, those closest to the case have their views challenged". So, it should be a very interesting watch, featuring clips of
the man himself and those who knew him. If you prefer your crime fictionalized, though, I highly recommend Peacock's horror series Hysteria! .

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Making Manson on Peacock (US only) Alien: Romulus (Hulu)

Alien: Romulus has made its official streaming debut! Well, on Hulu, anyway if you were too scared to see it in the theater, then, not to worry, because in your living room no one can hear you scream from behind your cushion. As I suggested, it's bittersweet news, though, because the latest Alien film doesn't have a Disney Plus release date yet . Fans in other territories will have to wait a little longer for an at-home release, then. But hey, at least the sci-fi horror franchise's first TV show, aka Alien: Earth , is set to simultaneously land on Hulu and Disney Plus in mid-2025 .

Those of you in the US are in for a treat, however, as Alien: Romulus is one of my favorite entries in the franchise. In my opinion, it's just as good as Aliens , and people on Rotten Tomatoes are inclined to agree, given its glowing 80% rating.

If you are in the mood for a good scare and you're not in the US, you can check out 7 sci-fi horror movies on Hulu, Prime Video, and more for some eerie, out of this world entertainment.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (November 29)

Date:
Fri, 29 Nov 2024 15:00:10 +0000

Description:
From new sports dramas to more festive treats, these are the films and TV series worth watching this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Happy Thanksgiving weekend! Well, to our US readers, anyway. I hope you're enjoying plenty of food, downtime with family or friends (or by yourself if you need some peace and quiet!), and this year's Black Friday sales .

If you're feeling as stuffed as a Thanksgiving turkey from all of the food you've eaten, I suspect you'll be lounging about in front of the TV at some point, too. Luckily, no matter whether you live stateside or elsewhere, there's plenty to watch on the world's best streaming services this weekend. So, read on to see what's worth catching before the new working week starts.
- Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Senna (Netflix)

One of the greatest, if not the greatest, F1 driver to ever live, the story
of Ayrton Senna is one filled with record-breaking feats, showcases optimism and fearlessness in the face of adversity, and ends in tragedy. It's high time, then, that the three-time world champion's life was retold once more in epic and tear-jerking fashion.

Step forward Senna , a six-part Netflix series that dramatizes the
Brazilian's life and career right up to his untimely death at the age of 34. At the time of writing, I don't know if Senna will manage to race onto our best Netflix shows list. If it recaptures the magic of the Sao Paulo-born driver's legacy and does as good a job of portraying him as Asif Kapdia's identically titled 2010 docufilm does, though, I'm confident it'll secure
pole position in the drama section of that Netflix-based guide.

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Watch Senna on Netflix Beatles '64 (Disney Plus)

Here comes another Beatles documentary! And it's just in time for the weekend too, making it prime viewing for Disney Plus subscribers. David Tedeschi's Beatles '64 is set to take us back to the quartet's very first trip to the
US, giving us an intimate backstage look at how the band captivated a whole nation and started one of the biggest fan frenzies in history: Beatlemania.

Using restored in 4K footage captured by US filmmaking brothers David and Albert Maysles alongside archival interviews, this new docufilm offers a new way to get a sense of the electricity that must have been in the air when
they came together during the Liverpool band's first performances in the country. I have a feeling this is going straight into our best Disney Plus movies guide.

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch Beatles '64 on Disney
Plus The Agency (Paramount Plus)

I'm not sure what I'm going to do once The Day of the Jackal finishes, but it looks like I've found a perfect alternative with new Paramount Plus spy drama The Agency, an American remake of the French series Le Bureau des Legendes.

Michael Fassbender stars as Martian, a covert CIA agent ordered to leave his undercover life and return to London Station. When he reunites with his lover that he left behind, their romance is thrown into a dangerous game of
intrigue and espionage that complicates his career, his real identity, and
his mission.

On paper, The Agency sounds like it could be one of the best Paramount Plus shows going with its star-studded cast of Jodie Turner-Smith, Jeffrey Wright, Richard Gere, and Katherine Waterston. But one thing's for sure is that I can't wait to watch Fassbender in this action-packed odyssey.

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch The Agency on Paramount Plus The Madness (Netflix)

What would you do if you found yourself framed for murder? Well, The Madness poses this very unnerving question when it arrives on Netflix this weekend.
In this tense new thriller, Emmy winning actor Colman Domingo plays a media pundit who is accused of murdering someone after he stumbles across a dead body, and he must reunite with his estranged family amid all the chaos.

Thriller is one of my favorite genres for a reason, because it can
incorporate so many gripping stories and themes. I cant wait to watch The Madness unfold this weekend and follow the story of a man whose life has been turned upside down seemingly overnight. This one looks like the kind of show Ill be eager to discuss with others, and I cant wait to be glued to my TV.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch The Madness on Netflix Sweethearts (Max)

I do love a rom-com, but a good one can sometimes be hard to find. However, one of November's final new Max movies Sweethearts looks like the charming teen comedy I've been waiting for all this time. Sweethearts is about two
best friends and college freshmen, Jamie (Kiernan Shipka) and Ben (Nico Hiraga), who make a pact to break up with their high school sweethearts over Thanksgiving break. This soon leads to a chaotic night out that puts their friendship to the test.

Sweethearts looks like it has everything I could want from a rom-com with drama, hijinks, repressed feelings, and even a possible friends-to-lovers trope. Yep, this definitely has potential to become one of the best Max movies.

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Sweethearts on Max It's In the Game (Prime Video)

A videogame can take on a life of its own outside of the display screen you see it in and that's exactly what happened to the EA sports series Madden
NFL. But did you know that the biggest videogame series of all time almost didn't get made?

In the new Prime Video four-part docuseries It's In the Game, EA Sports
studio will tell all about the 8-bit game's pixelated origins and how it came to be its touchdown of the century. What better time to release what could be the next best Prime Video show about Coach Madden, then during Thanksgiving weekend (for US readers, anyway)!

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch It's In The Game on Prime Video Our Little Secret (Netflix)

Its the end of November, so Christmas movies are flooding the best streaming services. Over on Netflix theres plenty to dive into, and I have a little secret of my own because I absolutely loved Lindsay Lohans festive movie from last year, Falling for Christmas , so Im excited to see her back again! Come on, Christmas movies should be silly and fun, thats what I argued when I
spoke about how Red One isn't perfect but proves we need more action-packed Christmas movies . Im all for movies that arent afraid to be a bit
ridiculous, honestly.

In Our Little Secret , Lohan plays a woman who is spending her first
Christmas with her boyfriend's family but discovers her ex is also part of
the holiday festivities, so she decides to hide their romantic history. The always brilliant Kristin Chenoweth stars, too, and yeah, Im ready for some silly festive fun with one of November's final new Netflix movies . Lets go!

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (December 6)

Date:
Fri, 06 Dec 2024 15:00:00 +0000

Description:
From new festive delights to the latest Star Wars show, here's what's worth watching this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The Christmas countdown is underway, with the best streaming services serving up a variety of festive films and not-so-seasonal favorites. From this year's best new movies finally getting a streaming release to the premieres of new
DC Cinematic Universe ( DCU ) and Star Wars series, there's a real mix of fresh content to get through this weekend.

The star power in this week's lineup is also immense: You'll be able to catch Margo Martindale as a maple syrup farmer, Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum faking a moon landing, Kiera Knightly kicking ass, a haunted Winona Ryder, Sabrina Carpenter being, well, Sabrina Carpenter, David Harbour as Frankenstein, and Nick Frost as a rusty droid. Enjoy! Star Wars: Skeleton
Crew (Disney Plus)

It's high time that Star Wars started dipping its toes in other genres. And, after the critical success that spy thriller series Andor was met with in
mid- to late 2022, a pirate-themed galactic misadventure in the shape of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew has arrived to expand the iconic sci-fi franchise's horizons.

So, what's it about? Essentially, four kids who get lost in space who, with the aid of Jude Law's enigmatic Jod Na Nawood and a cranky, decrepit droid named SM-33 (voiced by Nick Frost), try to get back home. Think of it as ' Goonies in space' and you'll get the gist. Its first two episodes are already available on Disney Plus , but read my Star Wars: Skeleton Crew review first to find out why it's not only a show worth *ahem* treasuring, but also one that's destined to join our best Disney Plus shows guide.

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Watch Star Wars: Skeleton Crew on Disney Plus Creature Commandos (Max)

The DC Extended Universe ( DCEU ) is dead, long live the DCU! Okay, the acronyms are almost identical, but James Gunn and Peter Safran's rebooted DCU couldn't be more different to its now-defunct and frustratingly inconsistent shared universe.

A prime example of how different the DCU will be is clear in DCU Chapter One 's first project: Creature Commandos . An R-rated animated series, it follows Task Force M, a group of supervillains and anti-heroes charged with
protecting Princess Ilana of Pokolistan from Circe, a powerful sorceress and long-time Wonder Woman adversary.

Check out my spoiler-free review of Creature Commandos to learn more about it ahead of tuning in to see its two-episode premiere on Max . In short: it's good enough that it'll squeak onto our best Max shows list, but I hope future DCU projects like Gunn's Superman movie will be even better.

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Watch Creature Commandos on Max A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter (Netflix)

Which artists were at the top of your Spotify Wrapped 2024 this year? I've been hearing a real eclectic mix in the office, but Sabrina Carpenter has
been a clear favorite. Indeed, when TechRadar's Rowan Davis heard about Netflix's holiday music special with the pop princess , he couldn't contain his excitement.

Expect to tune into Carpenter performing songs from her holiday record Fruitcake , then, as well as other Christmas covers , alongside some guests, including comedians and other artists tonight at 6pm ET / 11pm GMT on
Netflix. Now, please please please grab an espresso, as you won't want to sleep through this.

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter on Netflix Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (Max)

The anticipated follow-up to 1980s classic horror comedy Beetlejuice is a
real treat. With a star-studded cast including the return of original stars Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, and Catherine O'Hara, plus newcomers Monica Bellucci, Jenna Ortega and Willem Dafoe, Beetlejuice 2 's ensemble easily
made it one of my most anticipated new Max movies for December.

Set more than 30 years after the first movie, it follows Lydia Deetz who's, unsurprisingly, now a woman and one struggling to keep her family together
in the wake of a loss as Beetlejuice returns to haunt her. It doesnt quite reach the heights of the first flick, but its still a very good watch and worthy of a spot on the best Max movies list.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Beetlejuice Beetlejuice on Max Black Doves (Netflix)

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Not because it's the festive
season, but because I get to see Keira Knightley as a butt-kicking secret agent in new Netflix spy thriller Black Doves.

In it , Knightley is worlds away from her period drama era as she takes on
the role of Helen Webb, a fearless spy who goes on a quest for revenge when her secret lover is murdered by the dangerous London underworld. Joining
Helen on her mission is old assassin friend Sam (Ben Whishaw) after he's called in to protect her.

I knew it was going to be one of the best Netflix shows of 2024 after I watched the action-packed Black Doves trailer , and now I can't wait for the comedic spy duo to bring bullets, bloodshed, and British wit during the holidays. Oh, and it's already been renewed for a second season, so Merry Kill-mas!

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Black Doves on Netflix Fly Me to
the Moon (Apple TV Plus)

Some of the best Apple TV Plus movies often attract Hollywood A-listers like Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, and Jennifer Lawrence. Now, Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum are part of that famous list with the rom-com Fly Me to
the Moon. Set against the backdrop of NASA's historic Apollo 11 moon landing, marketing specialist Kelly Jones (Johansson) and launch director Cole Davis (Tatum) are tasked with creating a fake moon landing in case the mission fails.

I love a good rom-com and Fly Me to the Moon looks like an old-fashioned Apple-produced romance I can get behind, especially if it involves Johansson and Tatum. Is the sci-fi TV show utopia that is Apple TV Plus about to
produce a top-tier romantic comedy? Judging by its respectable 65% Rotten Tomatoes score (it was released in theaters earlier this year, FYI), maybe!

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Fly Me to the Moon on Apple TV Plus The Sticky (Prime Video)

When I first saw the trailer for Prime Video 's The Sticky , I said it looks like Breaking Bad with maple syrup instead of meth . If that isnt enough to sell you, I dont know what will, because this show looks bonkers in the best possible way. The Sticky is actually based on a bizarre real-life crime story called the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist, which saw $18.7M worth of maple syrup was stolen in Quebec. In the dramatized version, a syrup farmer turns
to a Bostonian mobster and a French-Canadian security guard for their aid in stealing Quebec's maple syrup surplus.

I cant wait to watch it either, especially with legends like Jamie Lee Curtis and Margo Martindale attached to the cast. If I had things my way, it would already have a spot on our best Prime Video shows list. I just hope it
doesn't come unstuck when more people check it out!

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (December 20)

Date:
Fri, 20 Dec 2024 15:00:00 +0000

Description:
The penultimate streaming list of the year has arrived here's what's worth watching this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Happy holidays, everyone! At long last, it's time to take a much-needed break from your job and enjoy as much food, drink, good company, and time sat in front of your TV as you can handle.

Where the last of those is concerned, our penultimate weekly 'what to watch this weekend' list of the year is, as always, filled with offerings from the world's best streaming services . From the final new movies of 2024 to the return of popular shows, you'll find something worth watching after sticking your out of office email on for the final time this year. You've earned it, after all. So, put your feet up and enjoy one of the below recommendations! - Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter The Six Triple Eight (Netflix)

2024 has been a good year for war dramas, such as Apple TV Plus projects
Blitz and Masters of the Air . Now, we can add The Six Triple Eight to the list; the last of December's new Netflix movies telling the inspirational
true story of World War II's only Womens Army Corps unit of color, aka the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion.

855 women join the war effort to sort though a three-year backlog of mail
that hadnt been delivered to American soldiers far from home. Despite discrimination and war-torn conditions, they sort through 17 million pieces
of mail and bring hope to the front lines. The Six Triple Eight certainly has a unique premise that could make it one of the best Netflix movies (although, it's Rotten Tomatoes critical rating suggests it won't). Nevertheless, I look forward to learning more about a heroic battalion that many of us didn't know existed on Netflix .

Grace Morris, entertainment writer The Secret Lives of Animals (Apple TV Plus)

I love a good nature docuseries and Apple TV Plus has delivered the goods this week with its latest natural history show in the form of The Secret
Lives of Animals , which may become the latest addition to our best Apple TV Plus shows guide.

A 10-part series narrated by Downton Abbey and Paddington star Hugh Bonneville, the Apple program aims to enthral and educate us all with never-before-filmed behavior from over 70 different species across all seven continents. Before you watch it, check out our exclusive clip from episode nine that teases a nail-biting fight between two kangaroos . You don't want
to miss it, I promise.

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Virgin River season 6 (Netflix)

Virgin River season 6 couldn't have come at a better time and I desperately want an invite to Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan's romantic wedding . As preparations for Mel and Jack's spring wedding get underway, the sixth season will feature new twists and turns, love triangles, wedding drama, and secrets from Mels fathers past, which takes us back to Virgin River in the 1970s.

Virgin River is, in my view, one of the best Netflix shows to watch out of everything new on Netflix this December , so make sure you don't miss the wedding of the year, either!

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Juror #2 (Max)

Clint Eastwood's latest movie is one of the Max trailers I was most excited
to see and, now it's streaming on Max , I can't wait to wrap my eyeballs around it. I love Gran Torino and Juror #2 seems to be another huge success for legendary the actor-turned-director. Unlike Gran Torino , Eastwood stays behind the camera and directs an all-star cast including Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, J. K. Simmons, and Kiefer Sutherland.

So, what's it about? The legal thriller follows Hoult's journalist character who is called up for jury duty and soon realizes that he may be responsible for the victim's death. Tense legal thrillers are one of my favorite things
to watch and I know this one is going to deliver, the 94% Rotten Tomatoes rating is promising too! Keep an eye out for its addition to our best Max movies list, then.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking (Prime Video)

If you're anything like me, then you probably have the obligatory go-to
movies that end up on the screen every Christmas and for me, that list includes the best Harry Potter movies . Well this year, you can mix it up
with this Prime Video gameshow that can only be best described as Harry
Potter meets The Great British Bake-off in Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking.

The six-episode series caused such a stir when it premiered on the Food Network in the US in November that Amazon acquired the streaming rights to show it in the UK and Ireland. Hosted by James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley), alongside culinary judges, Carla Hall and Jozef Youssef,
make sure to savor this magical treat while we wait for HBO's Harry Potter reboot .

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Fast Friends (Max)

How well do you know the 90s sitcom Friends ? Do you know the season were
Ross and Rachel were "on a break"? What was the name of Joey's soap opera character? Or how about Phoebe's most famous song? If you can answer all
those questions, then you're going to love Max's new original game show Fast Friends.

Hosted by comedian Whitney Cummings, it invites contestants to relive the
best Friends episodes by challenging teams with trivia, puzzles, and games to determine who will win the title of 'The Ultimate Fast Friends Champion' by how fast they are at completing each task. Once you've finished it, why not see how you can stream every episode of Friends next?

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Aaron Rodgers: Enigma (Netflix)

This three-part docuseries follows NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers as he undergoes an intense rehabilitation program after a terrible Achilles injury. You can expect to see plenty of the defining moments from his life and
career, with episode one exploring how his injury derailed his 2023 debut
with the New York Jets. Elsewhere, we'll see how he experimented with with alternative medicine and religion, sparking some controversies and drew further criticisms with his stance on vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Netflix documentary will give Rodgers the chance to show his side of the story, including his reaction to winning Super Bowl XLV. There's a lot to unpack with this series and it certainly sounds like it could make for a
great addition to our best Netflix documentaries guide.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (January 3)

Date:
Fri, 03 Jan 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Description:
The world's biggest streamers have hit the ground running with some big releases right after New Year's Day.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful and relaxing festive season, even if you weren't celebrating and/or observing a religious holiday, such as Christmas.

The holidays are in the rear view mirror now but, thankfully, you can deal with the fact that you're back in work by watching one of the following new movies and TV shows on the world's best streaming services . There's plenty
to enjoy, including the long-awaited return of British animated icons in Wallace and Gromit, as well as the first awards ceremony of 2025. So, read on to learn more! Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (Netflix)

20 years on from their last big adventure (yes, Curse of the Were-Rabbi t
came out in 2005!), Wallace and Gromit are back on our screens in their
latest claymation caper Vengeance Most Fowl . This time, the mild-mannered inventor and his favorite pooch are forced to contend with the return of iconic villain Feathers McGraw, who uses Wallace's latest creation a robotic garden gnome called Norbot to try and steal the infamous Blue Diamond once more.

Vengeance Most Fowl makes its international debut on Netflix today (January 3), but it aired on BBC One in the UK on Christmas Day, so I've already seen it and can vouch for how utterly brilliant it is. It's laugh out loud funny, wonderfully animated as usual, and doesn't outstay its welcome with its perfectly paced 80-minute runtime. One best enjoyed with a side of
Wensleydale and some crackers, and one to add to our best Netflix movies list in due course. TP The Rig season 2 (Prime Video)

Supernatural thriller The Rig became a global hit after its January 2023 debut. Now, the Prime Video drama is back for a second season as it continues the story of the Kinloch Bravo crew, who were due to return to the mainland when a mysterious fog descends and supernatural forces take hold.

In The Rig season 2, the survivors (now on a new high-tech rig deep in the Arctic Circle) take on a dangerous mission that sends them across the
perilous frozen sea and towards dark threats hidden below it. While The Rig may not be one of the best Prime Video shows , it tackles important themes about the future of the planet and has lots of gripping action. Also, it
stars Martin Compston, who is brilliant in Line of Duty, so that's one reason why I'll be tuning into this Amazon TV Original. Grace Morris, entertainment writer The Front Room (Max)

With Robert Egger's highly-anticipated Nosferatu remake in theaters, you may be itching for more horrors to sink your teeth into. If that's the case, there's a new A24 movie streaming on Max in The Front Room this weekend that just so happens to be a directorial debut from Robert's twin brothers Max and Sam.

Unlike this month's other Max horror releases, it takes a more psychological thriller tone with its plot centered around a pregnant woman (Brandy Norwood) dealing with an in-law from hell (Kathryn Hunter). Reviews were decidedly mixed upon its theatrical release, so I don't expect it to join our best Max movies list, but many agree that Hunter is a standout and considering the trailer terrified TechRadar's macabre expert Lucy Buglass with its creepy mom-in-law vibes , I'd say you've been warned. Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Missing You (Netflix)

Having binged Netflix's other Harlan Coben TV adaptations, I was excited to learn that the streaming titan would be turning two more Coben novels into series and now his next mystery hit has finally arrived in the form of
Missing You . It follows detective Kat Donovan (Rosalind Eleazar), whose life is turned upside down when she finds her estranged fianc Josh (Ashley
Walters) on a dating app after he vanished 11 years ago. This unexpected reappearance leads Kat to reopen the unsolved mystery surrounding her
father's murder, and see if there's a connection between her fianc's disappearance and her fathers death.

During my interview with Missing You's creator Victoria Asare-Archer , she told me it's the most emotional Harlan Coben adaptation yet, but we can also expect the signature twists and turns of a Coben series that we all love the most. Cobens mystery-thriller novels have been the keystone for a number of the best Netflix shows, so we'll have to wait and see if Missing You also makes it onto the list. GW Lockerbie (Peacock/Sky)

A new limited five-episode series based on the real-life bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988 over the Scottish town of Lockerbie is now available on Peacock in the US, and Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK.

Lockerbie: A Search for Truth tells the story of one of the world's worst terrorist attacks through the perspective of a grieving father Dr Jim Swire (Colin Firth) and mother Jane (Catherine McCormack) as they and their family mount a three-decade long campaign for truth and justice. Part political thriller, part grieving drama, this is a heart-breaking story filled with tragedy and tension. AS The Fall Guy (Prime Video)

Having missed it in theaters last May, The Fall Guy is one of three new Prime Video movies I'm excited to watch in January 2025 . Inspired by the 1980s TV series of the same name, it tells the story of stuntman Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling), who accidentally becomes embroiled in a dangerous criminal conspiracy after the actor he performs stunts for is kidnapped.

While I unfortunately didn't get to experience this crazy popcorn action
movie on the big screen, I'm sure The Fall Guy is still going to be a fun watch and perfect for some at-home weekend entertainment. It's already one of the best Prime Video movies based on its Rotten Tomatoes score, so I can't wait to tuck in to some silly comedy capers. GW The Golden Globes 2025 (Paramount Plus)

We're less than a week into 2025, but the first glitzy awards ceremony of the year is already here. That's right, the 2025 Golden Globes are upon us and you can catch all of the action as it happens live on CBS (US) and Paramount Plus (internationally).

If you missed them before the festive season got underway, you can read up on all of the nominees in our 2025 Golden Globe nominations guide (or relive the announcements via the near-30-minute video above). I'm already doing my best to watch as many of the nominated films and TV shows before the event takes place on January 5, so join me in frantically streaming as many as possible before the big day arrives!

The first full working week of the year has ended, so it's time to sit back and enjoy a whole host of new movies and TV shows on the world's best streaming services .

Admittedly, there aren't many new films for cinephiles to check out, but
there are plenty of new series for you to watch instead. From new Netflix and Max-based dramas, to the return of a popular reality TV show, I'm sure you'll find something worth streaming this weekend from this week's list of suggestions. Have fun! Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter American Primeval (Netflix)

Neo-Western dramas have taken over the streaming world, such as Yellowstone and its subsequent spin-offs 1883 and 1923. Now, Netflix has caught on to the genre hype with its new show American Primeval.

Unlike Yellowstone, American Primeval doesnt have a contemporary twist and is instead a harrowing dramatization of the birth of the American West. Set in 1857 amid the Utah War, it follows the violent clash between culture, community, and politics as men and women battle for control of the land in a cruel new world. Going off the trailer, American Primeval is set to be a brutal and bloody watch so, if youre looking for a darker alternative to Yellowstone, you may have found your match. Well have to wait and see if it becomes one of the best Netflix shows , though. Grace Morris, entertainment writer The Traitors season 3 (Peacock)

The UK edition of this absorbing reality TV show's third season started
airing on BBC One right after New Year's. Now, US audiences can get their
fill of game-based backstabbing and treachery with the American version of
The Traitors , whose third season has finally arrived on Peacock .

Hosted once more by award-winning actor Alan Cummings, The Traitors season 3 will see a new gang of contestants vie for the series' cash prize by attempting to deceive their fellow players. After being split into two groups
the Traitors and the Faithful contestants will need to work together to eliminate the other team in order to win their share of the monetary fund. I've enjoyed what the UK version has had to offer so far this season, so I'm hopeful its US counterpart will deliver similarly shocking moments. TP The Pitt (Max)

Max s new medical drama caught my eye when I wrote about The Pitt's gripping new trailer in late 2024. In it, ER star Noah Wyle is back on hospital-based duties again as he leads the cast of this 15-episode series. It sounds like promising stuff, too, as it's been produced by The West Wing s John Wells,
and promises to show a realistic examination of what healthcare workers experience in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh.

With numerous medical dramas on offer my favorite still being House this
one has an interesting twist. The Pitt takes place across a single emergency room shift, with each episode reflecting one hour within the hospitals walls. It's structurally identical to the Keifer Sutherland-led series 24, and I'm very excited about that. With such an intriguing premise, I do hope we can
add this to our best Max shows round-up. Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Bank of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger (Netflix)

As I mentioned in my Bank of Dave: The Loan Ranger trailer reaction .piece, I loved the original Netflix movie. After putting it on for an easy afternoon watch, I was soon sucked into Dave Fishwick's story, perfectly soundtracked
by Def Leppard (who make a cameo, too!). The first movie followed businessman Dave as he set up a community bank, which he created to offer as an alternative to the big high street banks to help the town's local businesses.

This time, he's got a brand new enemy in the form of payday lenders. As you can see from the trailer, Dave highlights the devastating effect they've had on his local community and beyond, and sets out to challenge them. He teams
up with some unlikely allies, and I can't wait to see even more of Dave's story, played by the always brilliant Rory Kinnear, who we last saw in The Rings of Power season 2 . I don't expect Bank of Dave 2 to join our best Netflix movies guide, but it's sure to leave a lasting impression on me. LB Goosebumps: The Vanishing (Disney Plus/Hulu)

If you loved the most recent Goosebumps adaptation on Disney Plus and Hulu , you wont want to miss this follow-up. I loved what Disney did with its first TV adaptation of R.L. Stine's beloved tween horror novels, which delivered something fresh while still featuring existing monsters and items that make
it so uniquely Goosebumps . Theres a huge new name attached to The Vanishing
, too with Friends star David Schwimmer joining the Goosebumps cast as Anthony, a recently divorced dad whose kids dont want to spend much time for him.

But there's a good reason for that. Anthonys son Devin, along with his sister Cece and their group of friends, begins to investigate a string of disappearances that took place in the 90s, which ends up taking a very dark turn. Considering how impressed I was with the first season, Im so excited
for this one. Hopefully, itll be another worthy entry to our best Disney Plus shows and best Hulu shows round ups. LB On Call (Prime Video)

Prime Video s latest TV Original On Call is an adrenaline junkies dream and puts an exciting spin on the cop drama genre. Indeed, On Call isnt all about sleuthing detectives and murder mysteries you see in a typical police procedural instead, its a visceral take on the patrol side of policing through the use of hand-held cameras, body cam, and dash-cam footage to
create a cinema verit effect.

On Call follows veteran cop Traci Harmon (Troian Bellisario) and her partner-in-training Alex Diaz (Brandon Larracuente) as they respond to emergencies in Long Beach, California. With an interesting twist on the action-packed side of law enforcement, On Call certainly sounds like an intriguing watch on Amazon's streaming platform and has the potential to be one of the best Prime Video shows of the year so far. GM Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action (Netflix)

Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action is a two-part documentary that goes behind-the-scenes of Americas most controversial chat show to expose its huge scandals on and off camera. The documentary also explores the shows origins and meteoric rise with exclusive testimony from show insiders, producers and ex-guests who reveal its dark and destructive secrets.

With an 86% critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action seems set to be included in our best Netflix documentaries guide. Im a fan of trash TV and, with this remarkable look into probably the trashiest one of all, itll be interesting to see the murky backstory behind the entertainment factor. GM

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (January 17)

Date:
Fri, 17 Jan 2025 15:00:30 +0000

Description:
From the return of a highly-rated Apple TV Original to great-looking new movies, here's what's worth watching this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Congratulations, you made it through another week of non-stop work. Your
prize for doing so is putting your feet up and enjoying one or more of these new movies and TV shows on the world's best streaming services .

There's plenty to choose from, too. From the long overdue return of Apple's best TV Original to the debuts of some fun and highly emotional new films, this week's streaming suggestions cater for every type of movie and TV show fan. So, grab some snacks and join us in spending the next few days in front of your television. Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Severance
season 2 (Apple TV Plus)

It's time, Severance fans! After a three-year absence, the highly-rated Apple TV Plus series is finally back on our screens and, as I allude to in my Severance season 2 review , it was absolutely worth the wait.

Picking up immediately after the events of its forebear's cliff hanger
ending, Severance season 2 reunites us with Mark Scout (Adam Scott), who returns to Lumon Industries to find that things aren't the same as he left them. That's all I'll say on the sci-fi mystery thriller's latest season,
too, because I don't want to spoil anything significant about one of the best Apple TV Plus shows ' sophomore outings. Just stick it on ASAP so your
'innie' and 'outie' can immerse themselves in the first unmissable show of
the year. TP Watch Severance season 2 on Apple TV Plus Alien: Romulus
(Disney Plus)

In the so-called golden age of streaming, I'm always baffled when new films don't simultaneously drop on platforms owned by the same entertainment giant. That's exactly what happened with Alien: Romulus , which originally arrived
on Hulu (US only) in November 2024 but didn't make its Disney Plus debut internationally until this Wednesday (January 15).

Nevertheless, I can still vouch for how good this Alien film is. Set between the events of 1979's Alien and 1986's Aliens , it follows a group of *ahem* alienated youths who, after traveling to an abandoned space station, get more than they bargained for when they run into the sci-fi horror franchise's iconic xenomorphs and face huggers. Before you stream one of the best Disney Plus movies and best Hulu movies , check out my exclusive chat with director Fede Alvarez about the film series' frighteningly bold evolution . TP Watch Alien: Romulus on Disney Plus (internationally) and Hulu (US) Back in Action (Netflix)

Cameron Diaz is finally, well, back in action after more than a decade of so-called retirement. The 90s rom-com star is back on our screens in a new action-packed Netflix movie that sees her play a character in a very similar sounding situation... In Back In Action, Diaz is Emily, a former CIA spy that's dragged back into work after both her and her husband's (Jamie Foxx) identity is exposed Diaz must have definitely related to Seth Gordon's and Brendan O'Brien's script when she read it.

The premise for Back In Action reads as if it could be the sequel to Mr & Mrs Smith , with Foxx playing Emily's fellow CIA retiree. Diaz's big comeback
film is one of 27 new movies streaming in 2025 that I'm excited to watch
after it was pushed back from a 2024 release, making this a great Friday
night action movie. Although, based on its abject Rotten Tomatoes score, one of January's new Netflix movies won't take a spot on our best Netflix films list. Amelia Schwanke, entertainment editor Watch Back in Action on Netflix Unstoppable (Prime Video)

Sticking with the theme of streaming big stars in new movies, we'd recommend heading over to Prime Video next to watch Unstoppable , a new docudrama about the inspirational life of NCAA wrestling champion Anthony Robles, who was
born without a right leg. Robles, who plays a stunt double of himself in the movie, is portrayed by Jharrel Jerome ( Moonlight) with Jennifer Lopez ( Out of Sight) taking on the role of his mother.

That's not all, either: MCU actor Don Cheade has been cast as Roble's wrestling coach Shawn Charles, alongside Michael Pea ( American Hustle) who stars as Roble's high-school coach Bobby Williams and Bobby Cannavale ( The Station Agent) who plays Roble's step dad, making this one star-studded
sports biopic that could be in the running to earn a spot among our ranking
of the best Prime Video movies . AS Watch Unstoppable on Prime Video Harley Quinn season 5 (Max)

Harley Quinn has seen many forms over the years. Whether it's Margot Robbie's version in The Suicide Squad or Lady Gaga's recent take in the not so successful Joker: Folie a Deux , she's a character that continues to dominate our screens. Her adult animated (and really well done) outing continues on
Max with Harley Quinn season 5, which sees Kaley Cuoco reprises her role as the titular villain. This season, the iconic Batman antagonist has a new city to explore Metropolis, aka the city that Superman protects.

Joined by Poison Ivy and their group of misfits and villains including Clayface, who's getting a standalone live-action movie in the DC Universe ( DCU ), Harley has decided they should pack their bags and get out of Gotham.
I can't really blame them for leaving, considering the state it's in (note
the giant rats in the trailer). But, knowing Harley wherever she goes, chaos will follow. I hope Metropolis is ready for giant rats or whatever else they unleash... Anyway, check out one of the best Max shows ' latest chapter ASAP!
LB Watch Harley Quinn season 5 on Max XO, Kitty season 2 (Netflix)

As the first Netflix series to be spun off from a Netflix movie, XO, Kitty could be starting a new trend especially since it's performed well enough to be given a second season. If you haven't heard of it, you may have done so with To All the Boys I've Loved Before , the Netflix rom-com movie that inspired this whole thing. If you're new here, you've got two whole seasons
to enjoy this weekend and if you've been excitedly waiting for the next part, it's here!

Season 1 ended on a cliff hanger with truths revealed and feelings confessed so, if you're looking for your romance fix you're definitely going to get it here. I'm sure season 2 will tie up some loose ends from the first
instalment, and perhaps pave the way for a third one too? Only time will tell if that's the case and if XO, Kitty will be added to our best Netflix shows guide. LB Watch XO, Kitty season 2 on Netflix A Different Man (Max)

Max is the place to be when it comes to A24 movies (in the US, anyway). Some of my favorites are already available on the plaftorm, such as I Saw The TV Glow , i.e. my favorite movie of 2024. Another one is joining its library
this weekend and, with a glowing Rotten Tomatoes critics score of 92%, you won't want to miss it.

In A Different Man , Adam Pearson plays an aspiring actor who undergoes a medical procedure to drastically transform his appearance, which sees Pearson replaced in the lead role by Marvel star Sebastian Stan post-operation. However, he soon regrets his decision after it turns into a nightmare and he becomes obsessed with reclaiming what he's lost.

In classic A24 style, this flick hits hard, especially with its exploration
of neurofibromatosis type I, the condition that Pearson has. A24 seems to be going from strength to strength and there's more from them coming up this year. For now, I can't wait to see this one get added to our best Max movies list. LB Watch A Different Man on Max

movies .

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (January 24)

Date:
Fri, 24 Jan 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Description:
All but two of the world's biggest streamers have something new for you to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Another week has ended and, two of the world's best streaming services aside (step up your game, Hulu and Disney Plus ), there's something new to watch on their rival platforms this weekend.

Indeed, from a couple of new movies that originally released in theaters in late 2024, to a bunch of new shows (and the return of a smash-hit Netflix series), there's plenty for you to wrap your eyeballs around over the next
few days. Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter The Night Agent season 2 (Netflix)

From The Recruit to Black Doves , Netflix has slowly been building out its back catalog of fun, dramatic, and thrilling spy genre shows. Few are more popular on the service, though, than The Night Agent , whose first season was a surprise overnight hit for the streaming titan and earned it a spot on our best Netflix shows list.

Two years on from that unprecedented success, the spy thriller is back for
its second season. This time around, trust is in short supply for
newly-minted Night Agent Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso), who becomes embroiled in another wild conspiracy that'll force him to question who he can really rely on. I'll be tuning in to see if Netflix's seventh most-watched English TV Original of all-time can build on its debut season's almighty performance. Before you do likewise, get the lowdown on the show's return
with our The Night Agent season 2 hub. TP Watch The Night Agent season 2 on Netflix Prime Target (Apple TV Plus)

Apple TV Plus keeps its busy start to 2025 going with new espionage thriller Prime Target , which stars One Day actor Leo Woodall alongside Quintessa Swindell from Euphoria . In the Apple TV Original, Woodall plays a math genius, who's working on a secret research project to discover patterns in prime numbers that eventually catches the attention of Swindell's NSA surveillance operative.

The idea that the story is built around is the fact that prime numbers form the basis of the world's most common types of encryption that are still
widely used today, which is why a Cambridge graduate cracking the code is of seismic global proportions in this new series. The best way I can think to describe it is the Da Vinci Code meets Good Will Hunting and, while it might not rank among the best Apple TV Plus shows , it's an absorbing watch no
less. Amelia Schwanke, entertainment editor Watch Prime Target on Apple TV Plus The Wild Robot (Peacock)

One of the best 52 movies of 2024 has finally made its streaming debut well, in the US (sorry, UK and Australian readers). The Wild Robot is an absolute joy of a film, with its gorgeous, painterly art style and wonderfully
realized animation, emotionally resonant story, and top-tier voice acting making for a perfect, easy-to-watch flick on Peacock this weekend.

Marvel star Lupita Nyong'o voices Roz, a service robot who becomes
shipwrecked on a remote island that's inhabited by talking animals. Unsurprisingly, she's viewed as an outsider by the creatures that live on it. But, armed with a steely determination to adapt to her environment, plus the fact that she becomes the adoptive mother of an orphaned goose called Brightbill ( Heartstopper 's Kit Connor), Roz resolves to not only ingratiate herself with the locals, but also become their protector-in-chief. A
beautiful movie in more ways than one that deserves to be seen. TP Watch
The Wild Robot on Peacock (available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and more services in the UK and Australia) Gladiator II (Paramount Plus)

Ridley Scotts highly anticipated follow-up to iconic 2000 movie Gladiator is now available on Paramount Plus (again, only in the US, though). If you
werent among those who took part in last years unexpected double bill Glicked (thats Gladiator II and Wicked ), you can bring the thrill of the Colossuem
to your home. It hasnt performed as well as Wicked , which was recently nominated for Best Picture , but its 71% Rotten Tomatoes rating means it
could be worthy of a spot on our best Paramount Plus movies round-up.

With a brilliant ensemble cast like Pedro Pascal, Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington and Derek Jacobi, the movie is set 15 years after the first and is definitely worth your time if you are a fan of the original. Its perfect if youre looking for an action packed movie this weekend. Altogether now: are
you not entertained!? Lucy Buglass, entertainment writer Watch Gladiator II on Paramount Plus C.B. Strike: The Ink Black Heart (Max)

Max is now home to the TV adaptation of controversial author J. K. Rowlings novel series of the same name, which were published under her pseudonym
Robert Galbraith. The series follows private detective Cormoran Strike who teams up with his assistant Robin Ellacott to take on cases that have baffled the police, hoping they can finally get to the bottom of what happened. Its
no easy task and they work out of a cramped office, but they get the job
done.

Therell be weekly episodic releases for this one, and the series has already premiered in the UK where its been met with some seriously mixed reviews. Its Rotten Tomatoes score is too low to guarantee a spot to our best Max shows , but you might have a good time with it regardless. LB Watch C.B. Strike: The Ink Black Heart on Max Star Trek: Section 31 (Paramount Plus)

Paramount Plus has released its first-ever made Star Trek TV movie; a 100-minute spin-off of galactic proportions that focuses on the secret Star Fleet agency called Section 31. Star Trek: Section 31 sees Michelle Yeoh reprise her role as emperor Philippa Georgiou who we met in the first episode of Star Trek: Discovery before she eventually becomes a member of the special ops division.

It's a little different to your usual Star Trek movies, with Yeoh previously describing it as a mix of Mission : Impossible and Guardians of the Galaxy , which makes sense with the plot's merry band of mercenaries that get caught
up in a heist to defend the United Federation of Planets against multi-universal threats. It's been through a lot of iterations to get here
(it was originally going to be a series), which means that "there was so much more" that was left out , Yeoh's fellow star Sven Ruygrok told us. That might be why long-time Trekkies and newcomers alike have absolutely slammed it,
with many labeling it one of the franchise's worst-ever projects. Ouch! AS Watch Star Trek: Section 31 on Paramount Plus Harlem season 3 (Prime Video)

The third and final season of Harlem is out now. Prime Video s beloved comedy series is coming to an end, but Im sure the Amazon TV Original will go out on a high. Youll get two episodes each week until the finale on February 6, and Im sure this will beat the January Blues some of us might be feeling.

The iconic cast made up of Meagan Good, Grace Byers, Shoniqua Shandaie,
Jerrie Johnson, Tyler Lepley and Whoopi Goldberg are all back, with a few surprises and new faces teased for the final instalment. Weve got plenty of great comedy recommendations on our best Prime Video shows round-up if you need to fill the Harlem shaped hole in your heart, though nothing can quite compare to how great this is. LB Watch Harlem season 3 on Prime Video

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (January 31)

Date:

Description:
From Marvel's new animated Spider-Man show to The Recruit's return, here's what's worth watching this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

January has finally run its course. But, before it makes way for the shortest month of the year, the world's best streaming services want you to check out the final new movies and TV shows they've released this month.

There's an eclectic mix of films and TV series to check out, too. From Marvel's first project of 2025 and the return of The Recruit , to the first Amazon Original movie of the year and much more besides, there's something
for everyone to enjoy this weekend. Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (Disney Plus)

I'm a huge Spider-Man fan so, when this Disney Plus series originally titled Spider-Man: Freshman Year was initially announced in mid-2021, you can bet I was excited. Over three years later, and Your Friendly Neighborhood
Spider-Man is finally with us, albeit as a show that exists adjacent to the Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ), rather than the canonical series that it was originally intended to be.

So, is it any good? You'll need to read my spoiler-light review of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man 's first season to find out. For now, all I'll say is that, its incredibly divisive and oft-times clunky animation
style aside, this Marvel Phase 5 production might have enough to swing its
way onto our best Disney Plus shows list. TP Watch Your Friendly
Neighborhood Spider-Man on Disney Plus The Recruit season 2 (Netflix)

While The Night Agent season 2 continues to dominate the Netflix charts , The Recruit is another spy thriller thats set to deliver more heart-pounding action and unpredictable twists in its second installment. Noah Centineo returns as CIA lawyer-turned-spy Owen Hendricks who is dragged into a life-threatening espionage incident in South Korea, but he soon realizes that the bigger threat might be coming from inside the Agency.

With its 68% Rotten Tomatoes score, The Recruit doesnt make it onto our best Netflix shows list, but I know it'll satiate my thriller appetite once I finish watching The Night Agent season 2. Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch The Recruit season 2 on Netflix You're Cordially Invited (Prime Video)

It looks like there could be a new comedy duo in the making as Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon team up for Prime Video s new movie You're Cordially Invited. In one of January's final new Prime Video movies , chaos ensues when the father of a bride-to-be (Ferrell) and the sister of another bride (Witherspoon) discover their destination weddings are booked on the same weekend.

Youre Cordially Invited takes me right back to the classic slapstick 2000s comedy, which is why its one of the three new Prime Video movies I'm excited to watch this January . So, you best believe Im bringing my popcorn and watching this potential best Prime Video movie I mean, who doesnt want to
see Ferrell wrestling an alligator on a hotel bed?! GM Watch You're
Cordially Invited on Prime Video Mythic Quest season 4 (Apple TV Plus)

It's been two years since workplace comedy series Mythic Quest 's last season debuted on Apple TV Plus , but the wait for a new installment is finally over as season 4's first two episodes dropped on Wednesday (January 29).

As one of my 26 most highly-anticipated TV shows of 2025 , I'm excited to stream the acclaimed show's next chapter, which is expected to bring fresh challenges to the fictional gaming studio as it navigates new trends in the industry. Apple isn't saying anything else about what could be in store, so you'll just have to stream it to find out.

Of course, seeing as it's the final season of one of the best Apple TV Plus shows , fans might be disappointed that the series is drawing to a close, but the good news is that there's already a spin-off show on the way called Side Quest, the first four episodes of which will premiere on March 26. Amelia Schwanke, entertainment editor Watch Mythic Quest season 4 on Apple TV Plus Paradise (Hulu/Disney Plus)

Hulu subscribers received a treat earlier this week when the first episode
of Paradise dropped early . Now, there are two more episodes to sink your teeth into, with episodes 2 and 3 launching on, well, its official release
day of January 28.

If youre looking for a gripping new political thriller, the series already
has an impressive 86% score on Rotten Tomatoes which means its worthy of a spot on our best Hulu shows list. The series has a great cast, too, including Sterling K. Brown who stars a security service team tasked with safeguarding
a former president (James Marsden), but things take a turn for the worse when
spoiler! the latter is murdered by an unknown assailant. New episodes
arrive every Tuesday (in the US, anyway international audiences can stream them on Wednesdays via Disney Plus) until the finale on March 4. Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Paradise on Hulu (US) and Disney Plus (internationally) American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson (Netflix)

This four-episode docuseries explores one of the most notorious trials in history: The People of the State of California versus Orenthal James Simpson, aka one of the world's biggest basketball stars of his generation. Director Floyd Russ has already made a similar documentary about The Boston Marathon Bombing and, in American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson , he aims to shed new light on what has been described as the trial of the century.

Speaking to Tudum , Russ stressed: The key was to make sure that both sides were balanced. To make clear that this isnt just a true crime cop
documentary. Its much deeper. So, you need people to contextualize the history, the trial. With plenty of hit true crime shows on Netflix theres a lot to dive into so, of you are keen to learn more about the trial and have
an interest in legal cases, thats your weekend viewing sorted. LB Watch American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson on Netflix Goodrich (Max)

Michael Keaton goes back to his comedy roots in Goodrich, one of January's
new Max movies that originally debuted in theaters last year . Written and directed by Hallie Meyers-Shyer, who's behind 90s feel-good comedies like The Parent Trap and Father of the Bride, this new Max comedy film also sounds
like it's going to pull on your heart strings.

Keaton plays a father called Andy Goodrich who suddenly has to become the primary caretaker of his two nine-year-old twins when his wife enters a
90-day rehab program. Unfamiliar with modern parenthood, Andy looks to his daughter from his first marriage Grace (played by Mila Kunis) to learn the ropes.

As you can probably expect, this brings Andy and Grace closer together as
they repair their father and daughter bond, which has likely suffered since his new marriage. One that has the potential to be one of the best Max movies . AS Watch Goodrich on Max

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (February 7)

Date:
Fri, 07 Feb 2025 15:00:10 +0000

Description:
From the return of the best superhero show to top-tier movies, here's what's worth watching this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

We're one week away from the most romantic time of the year but, the home release of A24's latest romantic drama and a new Apple TV Original aside, there aren't many Valentine's Day-themed films and TV series to check out
this weekend.

Nevertheless, there are a plethora of new movies and shows that you'll *ahem* fall in love with before Monday arrives. From the return of Invincible to Kaitlyn Dever's new Netflix drama, I'm confident that, with our help, you'll find something worth watching on the world's best streaming services over the next few days. Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Invincible season 3 (Prime Video)

The world's best superhero series is already back on our screens. We had a near-three year wait on our hands between Invincible seasons 1 and 2, but the popular Prime Video show's latest chapter was co-developed alongside its forebear. Long story short: Invincible season 3 is here less than 12 months after the R-rated animated show's last entry.

Its first three episodes are out now and new installments will release weekly until the season 3 finale on March 6. Before you tune into one of the best Prime Video shows ' third outing, read my Invincible season 3 review to see what I thought of its first six episodes. I can't contain my excitement to
see Mark Grayson and company again here's hoping the wait for the Amazon show's already confirmed fourth season isn't an extensive one! TP Watch Invincible season 3 on Prime Video Apple Cider Vinegar (Netflix)

I've just binge-watched Apple Cider Vinegar and it's one of the best Netflix limited series I've seen in a while. In fact, it's so good I might even add
it to our best Netflix shows round-up.

Alright, so what's it about? Kaitlyn Dever plays Belle Gibson, an Australian wellness influencer who claimed she cured her terminal brain cancer with diet and wellness products. You might think it's a bold claim and you'd be right, because Belle did not have cancer and actually tricked a community into believing her story and profited off the back of it. The series dramatizes Belle's rise and fall, and continually reminds us that it's "true-ish", with some names and scenarios changed.

Throughout, you'll learn more about Belle, her victims, and the investigative journalists who worked tirelessly to bring her down, exposing her lies and
the fact she managed to scam people out of money, encouraging them to buy her app, her cookbook, and worst of all donate to charities that she
financially benefited from instead. Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment
writer Watch Apple Cider Vinegar on Netflix We Live in Time (Max)

Following its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival last September and a successful theatrical run in the US and UK, We Live In Time has racked up glowing reviews at the time of writing, it has a 79% Rotten Tomatoes from
the critics and an 83% rating from audiences. Now, it's available to stream
on Max (in the US, anyway).

Many have praised the phenomenal performances from Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield, who play singletons who fall in love after a surprise encounter.
The movie spans multiple decades, which means we'll follow the pair through different stages of their lives as they build a home and start a family.

Given that the movie's director John Crowley is behind several highly-rated romance films, including the period drama Brooklyn starring Saoirse Ronan, I have high hopes that this will carve out a new space in our best Max movies guide. Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch We Live in Time on Max Clean Slate (Prime Video)

Next up on Prime Videos stellar catalog of original content is Clean Slate. The comedy series follows Harry (George Wallace), an old-school Alabama car wash owner who's surprised when his estranged child returns home as a proud trans woman called Desiree (Laverne Cox). As their reunion brings together a cast of amusing friends and neighbors, Desiree and Harry must process their new relationship as father and daughter.

This sweet and cozy sitcom sounds right up my street and its powerful premise has the ability to be one of Amazon's best TV Originals. Despite there being 90 movies added to the platform in everything new on Prime Video in February 2025 , I certainly wont be missing this release. Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Clean Slate on Prime Video Kinda Pregnant (Netflix)

Weve all told a little white lie in our lives, but I think the majority of us can agree that weve never gone to the extreme lengths of pretending to be pregnant unless youre Amy Schumers character in this bizarre new Netflix movie Kinda Pregnant. The rather absurd plot tells the story of Lainy (Schumer), who decides to fake a pregnancy when she becomes jealous of the attention that her pregnant best friend is receiving. If that wasnt bad enough, she also falls in love while knee-deep in the lie.

Critics and viewers aren't fans of the rom-coms outrageous twist (its horrendous 18% Rotten Tomatoes score speaks to that). But, while it clearly misses out on being one of the best Netflix movies , Im intrigued to see
Kinda Pregnants portrayal of the highs and lows of motherhood, and the power of female friendship. GM Watch Kinda Pregnant on Netflix Love You to Death (Apple TV Plus)

This new Apple TV Plus comedy drama series follows follows Ral, a man who was recently diagnosed with cancer and Marta, who just discovered she is
pregnant. The two reconnect after attending the funeral of a high school classmate where they end up embarking on a whirlwind romance. Together, they try to navigate this often strange world together and this rom-com is set apart from others considering they're at two very different stages of their lives; with Ral dealing with a challenging diagnosis and Marta preparing to bring a new life into this world. It's hardly a fairytale, and that's exactly what makes it so great.

The humor here is necessary to balance out the darker subjects and it seems
to tackle both very well indeed. With Valentine's Day next week, it's a good pick if you want something a bit different that still has that classic
rom-com feel to it. With only 7 episodes it's pretty bingeable, but we'll
have to see if it makes it onto our best Apple TV Plus shows list. LB Watch Love You to Death on Apple TV Plus The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl
(Disney Plus)

Who else thinks 1994's The Lion King movie is the best animated Disney film
of all-time? I know I'm not alone on this one and, while everyone will have different reasons for why they love it, one highlight that we can all surely agree on is that it has a phenomenal original soundtrack.

I've been lucky enough to hear these songs live as part of its stage play adaptation, which was a special experience, but to be able to listen to the soundtrack by a live orchestra is something else entirely.

That's why I'll absolutely be streaming The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl concert special tonight on Disney Plus to celebrate the animation's 30th anniversary. The concert, which will see a 70-person orchestra perform alongside dancers and puppets, even features a reunion of the original voice cast, making it a must-see for fans.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (February 28)

Date:
Fri, 28 Feb 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Description:
From exciting new TV shows to this year's Oscars ceremony, here's what's
worth streaming this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Happy Oscars weekend, everyone! The world's glitziest event of the year is upon us and, no matter where you live, you'll be able to watch it on one of the world's best streaming services or one of your nation's local networks.

If you've had your fill of the 2025 awards season and want to watch something else, we've also got you covered on that front. Indeed, there are a number of exciting new movies and shows to stream over the next few days, so read on to see what you can enjoy ahead of the first week of March. Enjoy! Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Running Point (Netflix)

It looks like Netflix is hoping to follow the success of the hit Apple TV+ sports comedy Ted Lasso with its new series Running Point. Swapping soccer
for basketball, Kate Hudson takes on the role of a female Ted Lasso-style sports leader in Isla Gordon, who's unexpectedly put in charge of the Los Angeles Waves, one of the most famous professional basketball franchises in the US. In short: she must prove that shes the right person for the job.

Going off the trailer alone, the Mindy Kaling-created series shares a similar humor and cheerfulness to Ted Lasso. We'll see if it's an ideal watch while
we wait for a Ted Lasso 's rumored fourth season but, based on its 69% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes, it doesn't live up its rival' critical acclaim . Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Running Point on Netflix The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim (Max)

An exciting and late addition to our everything new on Max in February 2025 article is The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim . Set nearly 200 years before The Lord of the Rings , one of February's final new Max movies tells the story of Helm Hammerhand (voiced by Brian Cox), the legendary King of Rohan. The War of the Rohirrim focuses on the Rohan's last stand against the Dunlendings after he unintentionally kills their leader and unleashes a full-blown war.

With its 49% Rotten Tomatoes score from the critics, The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim won't make it onto our best Max movies list. However, I think its still a unique and enjoyable way to bring to life the fantastical world of Middle-earth, especially in its anime format. GM Watch The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim on Max House of David (Prime Video)

House of David is a new Prime Video show that chronicles the rise of
biblical figure David (Michael Iskander), aka the renowned king of Israel.
The historical drama follows the once-powerful King Saul (Ali Suliman) as he falls victim to his own pride and, with Gods direction, the prophet Samuel (Stephen Lang) anoints a teenage outcast as the new king. Cue a battle for
the throne.

Show creator Jon Erwin told ABC Entertainment News that House of David is similar to Game of Thrones as it explores the struggle for power , so this biblical epic certainly has the potential to be one of the best Prime Video shows . Whether Amazon's newest TV Original will, though, is up for debate. GM Watch House of David on Prime Video Berlin ER (Apple TV Plus)

Itll take a lot to knock Severance season 2 off top spot, both in terms of Apple TV+ rankings and my own personal one, but Im ready to give Berlin ER a go. Theres tough competition when it comes to our best Apple TV+ shows , and only time will tell if this new series will make it onto that list. Fans of popular medical dramas like Greys Anatomy , House, and new Max series The
Pitt will likely enjoy this, but I hope its got enough for newcomers to the genre, too.

The eight-episode program follows a young doctor seeking a fresh start after her personal life falls apart. The treatment? Throwing herself into the emergency room in Berlins busiest hospital. Its no easy task, of course, and she soon finds herself battling staff resistance and a run-down system, which is plenty to distract yourself with, in all fairness. You cant think about your personal problems when youre out there saving lives, right? LB Watch Berlin ER on Apple TV+ Toxic Town (Netflix)

The Corby toxic waste case wasn't something I'd heard of until this Netflix show was announced, but, after reading about it, I know this dramatic retelling will make me cry. The four-part series follows three mothers who fought for justice after a growing number of babies were born with birth defects. The reported number was three times higher than those observed in children born in the surrounding regions, so it was up to ordinary citizens
to get to the bottom of it. This case bears an upsetting resemblance to the Teflon scandal, as dramatized in the brilliant movie Dark Waters, which I
also recommend you check out.

If Toxic Town 's plot wasn't enough to hook me, the cast certainly is, with huge names including Doctor Who alumnus Jodie Whittaker, Bank of Dave star Rory Kinnear, and Sex Education ' s Aimee Lou Wood all involved. Will we be adding this to our best Netflix shows list? You'll have to wait and see.
Based on its early glowing reviews, it seems a no-brainer though. Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Toxic Town on Netflix Doubters to Believers Liverpool: Klopp's Era (Prime Video)

As a huge Everton fan, I feel particularly dirty writing about our biggest (not the mention local!) soccer rivals in Liverpool FC. But, considering nobody else on the entertainment team is interested in the so-called
beautiful game, I've got to suck it up. I want the record to show that I'm really not happy about this, though!

Anyway, Doubters to Believers Liverpool FC: Klopp's Era is a must-see Prime Video docuseries for anyone who religiously follows the current English Premier League leaders. The four-part show will deliver unprecedented, fly-on-the-wall access to Jurgen Klopp's final six months in charge of the Anfield-based soccer outfit, and will look back at his trophy-laden spell in charge of one of the world's most-supported sides.

Amazon has become the go-to place for the best sports docuseries around, but this is one I definitely won't be tuning in to watch. Yes, I'm just that bitter! TP Doubters to Believers Liverpool: Klopp's Era on Prime Video The 2025 Oscars (Hulu)

Its that time of year again! Well be celebrating the biggest and best in the movie world this weekend, and weve all got strong thoughts about who should and shouldnt win. Unsurprisingly, I'm rooting for The Substance to do well after hailing it as the best body horror of 2024 . Meanwhile, my colleague Rowan Davies said he couldnt believe that Netflix's Emilia Perez is this year's most-nominated movie or TV show at the time of the Golden Globes nominees, so the controversial movie is still frustrating cinema lovers as we go into Oscar season.

There are plenty of big releases worthy of praise, though, and Im expecting big things from Conclave , The Brutalist, and Anora. Sometimes, these ceremonies are full of surprises, so well have to wait patiently for the results. Dont miss the entertainment industrys biggest award ceremony when
its streaming on Hulu (US), ITV1 (UK), and Channel 7 (Australia). LB Watch the 2025 Oscars on Hulu (US), ITV1 (UK), and Channel 7 (Australia)

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (March 7)

Date:
Fri, 07 Mar 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Description:
From Daredevil: Born Again to Meghan Markle's new Netflix series, here's what's worth watching at home this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

March has arrived (does anyone else feel like they blinked and February was over?), and the third month of 2025 has already given us lots of exciting new movies and TV shows to watch at home. Admittedly, most of them have debuted
on four of the world's best streaming services , but I'm trying not to judge their rivals, such as Apple TV+ , especially when the latter has served up
one of 2025's best shows so far in Severance season 2 .

Anyway, aside from a new episode of Severance , there's plenty more to stream this weekend, including the revival of Netflix's Daredevil TV show. So,
scroll on to see our seven top picks for the week. Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Daredevil: Born Again season 1 (Disney+)

The devil's work is never done and that's certainly the case for Matt
Murdock and his crimefighting alter-ego. Almost six years after Netflix canceled its beloved TV adaptation starring The Man Without Fear, Marvel has revived it with Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+ .

Essentially, it's Daredevil season 4 is all but name, but that's a very good thing. The New York-based lawyer/vigilante's live-action series is not only
as epic as it is brutal, but also one of my all-time favorite shows, so I'm delighted that it's had new life breathed into it as a Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ) project. The first two episodes are out now but, before you stream them, read my Daredevil: Born Again review to see whether I think this Marvel Phase 5 program deserves to be added to our best Disney+ shows guide. TP Watch Daredevil: Born Again season 1 on Disney+ With Love, Meghan
(Netflix)

Looking for something a bit more wholesome? Why not cosy up on the couch with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, for eight episodes of cooking, gardening, and hosting advice on Netflix .

Originally due to air in January, Netflix delayed this series' release due to the wildfires that ravaged LA. Now, this show is out in full, but early reviews aren't overly favorable, which means it won't make the cut for our best Netflix shows guide. Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch With Love, Meghan on Netflix Heretic (Max)

Im so excited that more people can experience this horror gem on Max .
Heretic 's major selling point is that Hugh Grant swapped his typical
charming bachelor character for a creepy loner, but it's so much more than that.

Stylish, tense, and full of theological questions, Heretic is a great
addition to A24's catalog. There's plenty to enjoy here, and it does enough for it to stand out among the endless sea of new horror movies in March . I'm also keen to re-watch this and spot things I might've missed the first time around as it feels like the kind of movie which benefits from a second viewing. Even though it wasnt my favorite horror movie of 2024 , I still enjoyed it and feel like it deserves a spot on our best Max movies round-up.
Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Heretic on Max The Leopard (Netflix)

Netflix is somewhat of an expert when it comes to period dramas. That much is clear with Bridgerton , aka o ne of Netflix's most popular shows of all-time.

Now, the streamer has lined up a royal rival with Italian period drama The Leopard. Based on the classic novel of the same name by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, the eponymous Leopard is Don Fabrizio Corbera, the Prince of
Salina (Kim Rossi Stuart) who grapples with the impact of his familys ancient privilege and revolutionary change in 1860s Sicily. I cant wait to be transported back in time with this sumptuous historical spectacle and, with 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, The Leopard has a chance of gracing our best Netflix shows guide. Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch The Leopard on Netflix Fear (Prime Video)

Fear is Prime Video 's latest thriller series and it's got a truly
terrifying premise. Line of Duty star Martin Compston leads the cast as a father who has relocated his family from London to an idyllic location in Glasgow, hoping for a fresh start. It's the kind of scenario that provides
the backdrop for plenty of thrillers where, unfortunately, someone's dream home becomes a living nightmare.

Things go terribly wrong when the family begins to be stalked by their neighbor, who begins to accuse them of horrible things and becomes a terrifying presence in their lives. Throughout three episodes, you'll unravel what's going on, making it the perfect weekend binge-watch. It hasn't got a Rotten Tomatoes score yet so we'll have to see if it's good enough for inclusion in our best Prime Video shows article. LB Watch Fear on Prime
Video The Righteous Gemstones season 4 (Max)

The Righteous Gemstones return as the televangelist family go on their final religious outing in the hit Max comedy. For the uninformed: one of the best Max shows follows the Gemstones, who commit sinful acts and hide shocking secrets while trying to build their religious empire.

With its witty parody on spiritual grandiosity and Succession - like family dynamics , its no surprise that its one of the six Max movies and shows were most excited to watch in March. After watching Walton Goggins in The White Lotus season 3 , I'm excited to see him at his comedic best in The Righteous Gemstones season 4 along with the rest of the misfit family. GM Watch The Righteous Gemstones season 4 on Max Chaos: The Manson Murders (Netflix)

Looking for a new documentary this weekend? As part of Netflix's March 2025 line-up , the streaming giant has released a chilling docufilm that
completely upends what we thought we knew about the infamous Manson murders.

Adapted from a book by Tom O'Neill with Dan Piepenbring, Chaos: The Manson Murders brings new evidence from years of research, interviews and never-before-seen documents. Acclaimed documentary maker Errol Morris ( The Thin Blue Line; The Fog War: Eleven Lessons from the life of Robert S
McNamara ) revisits these interviews, including with Vincent Bugliosi, the prosecutor-turned-author that chronicled the trial, to unravel a potential conspiracy involving the CIA and others that surrounds the killings. AS

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (March 14)

Date:
Fri, 14 Mar 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Description:
From Moana 2 to The Wheel of Time season 3, here's what we recommend watching this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The best streaming services have such a packed roster of new releases this weekend that I suspect some, if not all, of them will make the cut for your growing watchlists. Indeed, there's plenty to enjoy on Apple TV+, Disney+ , Max, Netflix, and Prime Video over the coming days.

From an ambitious sci-fi flick starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt,
to the highly-anticipated streaming debut of a Disney blockbuster and the return of an adored fantasy series, I'm not even sure where I'll start with
so many unmissable new movies and shows. Happy St Patricks Day weekend all! Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Moana 2 (Disney+)

Not to be outdone by its predecessor Moana , which is the most streamed movie of the past five years , Moana 2 was a box-office success in its own right. Even though it didn't score high enough to land a spot on our best Disney+ movies (its current critical Rotten Tomatoes rating sits at 61%), it was a
hit among audiences, so it's the perfect escape this weekend whether you're a Disney fan or you want something to entertain the kids.

As I explored in my Moana 2 review , I had a fun time with it. However, I was saddened we didn't see enough of my favorite character, but considering there's even more Moana coming our way soon, hopefully that will change.
Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Moana 2 on Disney+ The Wheel of Time season 3 (Prime Video)

I've had a somewhat complex relationship with The Wheel of Time . Its first season was great but, in my view, the Prime Video fantasy series suffered
from the so-called 'sophomore slump' with its second outing.

Thankfully, The Wheel of Time season 3 gets the live-action adaptation of Robert Jordan's beloved novel series back on track. You can read more about why I think it's a magical return to form for the Amazon TV Original in my review of The Wheel of Time 's third season . Suffice it to say, it'll keep its place on our best Prime Video shows list.

Want to read more about it? Check out my interviews with The Wheel of Time 3 's cast or get the lowdown on its latest chapter by reading my dedicated
guide to The Wheel of Time season 3 . You'll be left spellbound, I promise! Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Watch The Wheel of Time season 3 on Prime Video The Electric State (Netflix)

Arguably the pick of the bunch when it comes to March's new Netflix movies line-up, The Electric State could've been a shoo-in for our best Netflix movies guide.

Unfortunately, the Mille Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt-starring sci-fi flick is a shockingly bad movie. Indeed, I didn't hold back in my review of The Electric State , which just goes to show that you can't just throw money at something (it cost a reported $320 million, for goodness sake!) and hope to make a good film. My advice? Go and read Simon Stlenhag's graphic novel namesake, or stream another of his book adaptations Prime Video's Tales from the Loop TV show instead. TP Watch The Electric State on Netflix
Adolescence (Netflix)

Adolescence is a new Netflix murder thriller with an interesting twist: each episode is filmed as if it's one continuous shot. Adolescence 's official trailer doesnt fully embrace its 'oner' style, I was immediately gripped by its timely premise about a 13-year-old boy who is arrested for murdering a girl at his school.

The four-part crime drama follows the boys family, therapist, and the police detective in charge of the case as they question what really happened. Adolescence features a star-studded British cast, with Stephen Graham and
Erin Doherty joining forces once again after appearing together in A Thousand Blows earlier this year.

With 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, Adolescence goes down as one of the best
Netflix shows as it touches upon timely issues of youth violence and society pressures of what it means to be masculine. Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Adolescence on Netflix Dope Thief (Apple TV+)

When Apple TV+ released the trailer for Dope Thief, many couldn't help but compare the gritty new crime drama to The Wire , and I completely understand why. Not only are both series based on books, but they also focus on showcasing the blurred line between cops and criminals.

In Dope Thief, Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura play two Philadelphia-based friends who pretend to be DEA agents to rob a house in the countryside that ends up being the base of the biggest hidden narcotics operation in the East Coast.

Created by Peter Craig, who's written the scripts for some of the best crime movies like The Town and The Batman, this series has the potential to be one of the best Apple TV+ shows . AS Watch Dope Thief on Apple TV+ The Parenting (Max)

Max is killing it (no pun intended) with the horror releases lately. But, if it's some horror comedy you're after, The Parenting is sure to scratch that itch as it's far less intense than some of the best horror movies on Max, providing some light relief while giving genre fans something to dive into.

Having said that, it debuted to very mixed reactions as, at the time of writing, it holds a 50% critical Rotten Tomatoes score. That does mean it won't be on our best Max movies round-up but, if you want to make your own mind up about the divisive new movie about a 400-year-old poltergeist, it's probably worth checking out. LB Watch The Parenting on Max Everybody's Live with John Mulaney (Netflix)

Emmy Award-winning comedian John Mulaney hosts this Netflix celebrity
sit-down talk show with special guests and musical performances. Everybodys Live with John Mulaney is scheduled for a 12-week run and airs live on the streaming service on Wednesdays at 7PM PT / 10PM EST in the US, 2AM GMT in
the UK, and 1PM AEDT in Australia.

The programme serves as a follow-up to John Mulaney Presents: Everybody's in LA and the first episode, which aired on March 12, featured an all-star cast, including Michael Keaton, Joan Baez, Fred Armisen, Jessica Roy, and music
from Cypress Hill. Although Everybodys Live with John Mulaney has only just begun, its 100% on Rotten Tomatoes critical rating means it could give the likes of Jimmy Fallon a run for his money. GM Watch Everybody's Live with John Mulaney on Netflix

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (March 21)

Date:
Fri, 21 Mar 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Description:
From Oscar winners to exciting new shows, here's what's worth watching at
home this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Welcome to the end of another working week. It's time to put your feet up and load up one of the many new movies and/or TV shows that have debuted on the world's best streaming services this weekend.

Personally, I'll be tuning in to watch the Severance season 2 finale again (read my Severance season 2 ending explained piece if you need more information on what just happened). But, from Oscar winners like Anora and Wicked , to intriguing new series, such as The Residence , there's plenty
more to check out before Monday arrives. Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Anora (Hulu)

Who else cried watching Anora ? This year's huge Oscar-winning smash hit completely bowled over critics and audiences alike with the way it challenges the well-trodden rags-to-riches storyline. If you missed the chance to catch it in the cinema, now's the time to watch it as it's finally available on
Hulu .

For anyone unfamiliar with the plot of Sean Baker's romantic drama, which
will soon secure a spot as one of the best Hulu movies , it follows sex
worker Ani (Mickey Madison), who meets and falls in love with Ivan (Mark Eydelshteyn), the son of a Russian oligarch, that she ends up having a whirlwind marriage with. However, not everything's peachy when Ivan's parents find out...

If your Disney+ or Hulu subscriptions are about to expire, make sure to take advantage of this great deal that brings the bundle back down to its lowest ever price to watch this blockbuster hit and more for less. Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch Anora on Hulu (US only) The Residence (Netflix)

Move over Benoit Blanc, theres another eccentric detective on the case in the new Netflix show The Residence . Inspired by The Residence: Inside the
Private World of the White House by Kate Andersen Brower, the mystery series follows Cordelia Cupp (Uzo Aduba), who arrives at the White House to solve a murder where all the staff and guests at a state dinner are suspects.

Produced by Shondaland, The Residence has promise to become one of the best Netflix shows given the production companys history of creating acclaimed series like Bridgerton and Greys Anatomy. And, Im certainly excited to see
all the secrets and scandals unfold in this whodunnit. Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch The Residence on Netflix O'Dessa (Disney
Plus/Hulu)

Sadie Sink may have joined the cast of Spider-Man 4 in a big supporting
role, but the Stranger Things star proves she has the acting credentials to lead films in her own right in this straight-to-streaming dystopian cyberpunk musical.

In the Disney+ /Hulu flick, Sink plays the titular farm girl, who embarks on
a cross-country trip to retrieve a family heirloom a guitar that might hold special power and rescue the love of her life from the tyrannical
Plutonovich (Murray Bartlett).

O'Dessa's early reviews have been mixed, so it's unlikely to find a spot on our best Disney+ movies and best Hulu movies lists. Nevertheless, critics say Sink delivers a great performance, which is to be expected from this rising star ahead of her final outing as Max in Stranger Things season 5 . TP Watch O'Dessa on Disney+ (internationally) and Hulu (US) Wicked Part One (Peacock)

There's no place like home for one of 2024's biggest blockbuster hits.
Indeed, Peacock is the service to sign up to this weekend if you want to
catch Wicked in the US. The first part of the broadway musical's film adaptation is available alongside a singalong version, too, if you fancy belting out its classic numbers.

Ozians will also be treated to extra behind-the-scenes content from Universal's musical hit, which will include deleted and extended scenes, a making-of documentary, in-depth interviews with director Jon M Chu, and more besides!

There's a lot of excitement around this Wizard of Oz prequel, which tells the origins of the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good. Once you've watched it, stream these six other movie musicals on Netflix, Max and more . AS Watch Wicked Part One on Peacock Sing Sing (Max)

This overlooked gem flew under the radar after its limited theatrical run. Luckily, it's out now on Max .

Sing Sing is one of six Max movies and shows we're most excited to watch in March , not least because of the ever-incredible Coleman Domingo ( Selma; Lincoln ), whose performance earned him multiple Best Actor awards from various ceremonies. Clarence Maclin is similarly brilliant; the former inmate playing a fictional version of himself in the film.

In Sing Sing, which is based on a true story, Domingo plays an inmate called Divine G, who's been imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit but finds solace by acting in a theatrical comedy with fellow prisoners. It's one of the best Max movies you'll watch this year. AS Watch Sing Sing on Max Happy Face (Paramount Plus)

After his creepy performance as the powerful Harvey in The Substance , Dennis Quaid is about to get creepier as he steps into the role of serial killer Keith Hunter Jesperson, aka the Happy Face Killer. However, Happy Face isnt just about the notorious murderer it also focuses on his daughter Melissa Jesperson-Moore.

Adapted from Melissas podcast Happy Face and her 2009 autobiography Shattered Silence, this new Paramount+ true crime drama series follows Melissa (Annaleigh Ashford), who discovered that her father was the Happy Face Killer when she was 15 years old. In Happy Face , an incarcerated Keith finds a way to force himself back into Melissas life after decades of no contact.

With an 83% critical Rotten Tomatoes score, it's got a good chance of going down as one of the best Paramount+ shows and I cant wait to see Quaid embody evil as this TV adaptation's antagonist. GM Watch Happy Face on Paramount Plus Last One Laughing UK (Prime Video)

Want to see a battle royale between comedians trying to make each other
laugh? Prime Video has you covered with the UK edition of Last One Laughing , which is creatively titled Last One Standing UK.

Hosted by Jimmy Car, its 10 comedians will attempt to make each other smile (without getting the giggles themselves). Considering the reality comedy gameshow format is based on a successful series from Japan called Documental that's been adapted in various countries, it has a high chance of carving out a spot as one of the best Prime Video shows . AS Watch Last One Laughing UK on Prime Video

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (April 4)

Date:
Fri, 04 Apr 2025 14:00:30 +0000

Description:
It's time to get your weekend fill of the best streaming fare that have
landed on Netflix, Disney+, and more.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

It's rare that an animated project leads our weekly round-up of the best new movies and TV shows on the world's leading streaming services .

There's a first time for everything, though and, luckily for Netflix's anime adaptation of the popular Devil May Cry videogame series, that time is now.

Not interested in that particular project? Fret not, because there are six other terrific and/or much-anticipated films and TV series to wrap your eyeballs around this weekend (April 4 to 6). Without further ado, then,
here's what we recommend you stream over the next couple of days. Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Devil May Cry (Netflix)

I'll readily admit to not seeing many of Netflix 's animated TV adaptation of beloved video game franchises (don't worry, Arcane , you'll always be in my heart).

As a huge fan of Capcom's and, more recently, Ninja Theory's Devil May Cry (DMC) games, though, you can bet I was seated day one to see demon hunter Dante slice and shoot his way through the worst that the underworld could throw his way.

Helmed by Adil Shankar, i.e. the brains behind other critically-acclaimed but under-appreciated anime-inspired Netflix adaptations including Castlevania , the streamer's DMC TV reimagining has all the tools necessary to enter our best Netflix shows hall of fame. Make sure you've got Ebony, Ivory, and The Rebellion to hand while you watch it, everyone. TP Watch Devil May Cry on Netflix A Real Pain (Disney+)

I still haven't seen Jesse Eisenberg's directorial debut, When You Finish Saving the World, but that doesn't mean I'm not excited to watch this, especially with Kieran Culkin wining this year's Best Supporting Actor Oscar.

A Real Pain also has two BAFTAs under its belt and TechRadar's very own
stamp of approval as one of the best movies of 2024 . So, if you're still unsure about streaming it on Disney+ this weekend the film made its
streaming debut stateside on Hulu in January then let those doubts fade
away.

This heartwarming buddy comedy-drama follows Eisenberg and Culkin, who play two cousins on a trip to Poland to honor their grandmother that ends up
taking them on a whole other journey. It's undoubtedly one of the best
Disney+ movies you'll watch. Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch A Real Pain on Disney+ (internationally) The Bondsman (Prime Video)

Kevin Bacon as a demon bounty hunter in a new gothic series with an original blues music soundtrack? You read that right.

The Bondsman may not have been on your Prime Video radar but, with an 85% RT critical score (at the time of writing), it should be. Based on that alone, this Amazon TV Original will make the cut to be one of the best Prime Video shows and it's easy to see why when you hear that it's being compared to similar R-rated projects like Constantine and Ash vs. the Evil Dead.

Speaking to TechRadar, series producer Erik Oleson revealed that the goal
was to "create a scream out loud, laugh out loud mashup of family dramedy
with Appalachian lore with demon hunting and music". Bacon poking chainsaws through demons foreheads is just for good measure! AS Watch The Bondsman on Prime Video Y2K (Max)

Y2K is the latest A24 film to debut on Max but, unfortunately, it bombed critically and is among the studio's worst-rated movies.

With 42% on Rotten Tomatoes, Y2K won't be appearing on our best Max movies list. But, if you're keen to make up your own mind about it, here's what it's about: a group high school juniors crash a New Year's Eve party, but typical young adult dramas are the least of their worries when machines rise up against humanity.

Inspired by the real-life-but-thankfully-not-actually-happening Y2K problem (millennials, you'll know what I'm talking about!), this movie turns a technology glitch into something darker, with some humor scattered throughout It might not be the best A24 movie out there, but it's definitely unique! Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Y2K on Max Pulse (Netflix)

With medical drama The Pitt earning rave reviews from critics and general audiences alike following its season 1 release on Max in January, it's Netflix's turn to *ahem* surgically enhance its own back catalog of hospital-based projects.

Pulse , which was renewed for a second season well before its debut outing landed on the streaming titan this Thursday (April 3), looks like a modern take on classic medical drama ER . Indeed, with its romance-laced storylines, melodrama aplenty, and dramatization of how medical facilities function, it's easy to see why such comparisons have been made.

Will it set our hearts aflutter and land a spot on our best Netflix series list? Time will tell. TP Watch Pulse on Netflix Dying for Sex (Disney+/Hulu)

I love a good podcast, and theis new Hulu and Disney+ series is based on a very heartfelt one. Dying for Sex is based on Nikki Boyer, who sits down with her best friend Molly Kochan to get candid about her experiences after she
was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer.

The show dramatizes Kochan's life, with Michelle Williams in the leading role as a woman who ends her 15-year marriage to explore herself and her sexuality before her death. The real-life Kochan passed away in 2019, and her legacy lives on through this series, with Boyer serving as executive producer.

Across eight episodes, we follow Kochan's life and experiences, with plenty
of humor balanced with the drama. It's quite the rollercoaster and very binge-worthy, too. One to keep an eye out for on our best Hulu shows and best Disney+ shows lists. LB Watch Dying for Sex on Hulu (US) and Disney+ (internationally) Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer (Netflix)

Not at all affiliated with the David Fincher movie, this new true-crime documentary series explores the hunt for Rex Heuermann, aka 'The Long Island Serial Killer'.

Told from the perspective of his victims, their loved ones, and the police, Gone Girls reveals how the local New York architect managed to hide in plain sight and exposes a web of corruption, but it's not the end of the story.
Gone Girls focuses on a live case, meaning there's a very real chance more information could come out about Heuermann and his crimes.

Speaking to Tudum , director Liz Garbus said: "After we completed and turned in our cuts to Netflix, there was another victim added to [Heuermanns]
docket. Will there be more between now and the time that we air? Its
possible. Will there be more between now and the time that we go to trial, if they go to trial? Its probable." LB Watch Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer on Netflix

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (April 18)

Date:
Fri, 18 Apr 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Description:
From horror-themed new films to comedy and drama shows, here's what you'll want to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Happy Easter weekend, everyone! If, like me, you're enjoying more than usual two days off work, I'm sure you'll be finding some time to stream a bunch of new movies and TV shows on some of the world's best streaming services .

Well, allow me to crack open an Easter egg filled with such goodies for you. Below, you'll find seven of the most exciting new films and series to check out before you head back to work. And, with even more downtime than normal (for those of us in the UK, anyway), you'll be able to watch more than one of these terrific offerings. Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Companion (Max)

Max subscribers continue to get new movies thanks to A24. Now, one of the best Max movies. of 2025 has landed on the service in Companion .

In it, Sophie Thatcher stars as a subservient android who was built for human companionship, but has started to go haywire. Honestly, people in these
movies just never learn, do they? The Boys ' Jack Quaid co-stars as the robot's human love interest/manipulator.

While I criticized the Companion trailer for giving too much away , the movie is another win for A24; its glowing 94% Rotten Tomatoes approval rating serving as proof of that. If you want a chaotic blend of romance, sci-fi, and horror, you won't find a better film to stream this weekend. Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Companion on Max Ransom Canyon (Netflix)

Dust off you cowboy boots and hats because Netflix is bringing some Texas charm to the small screen this weekend.

Ransom Canyon is a new western saga that delves into the lives of three ranching families across 10 episodes, and it looks like an exciting mix of Yellowstone and Virgin River . L ike the latter it's based on a romance novel series, so we can expect plenty of will-they-won't-they tension. That also means there's plenty "more story to tell" for a second season, which the show's stars are hoping for .

Considering the Taylor Sheridan-led revival of the western genre has been a hit elsewhere, I don't doubt this will become one of the best Netflix shows soon enough. For more Lone Star action, check out these three highly-rated western shows . Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch Ransom Canyon on Netflix Government Cheese (Apple TV+)

With Severance season 2 a fading image in the rear-view mirror, the search
for the next big Apple TV Original is on. Prime Target , The Studio , Dope Thief , and Your Friends & Neighbors have all thrown their hat into the ring recently, but now it's Government Cheese 's turn to convince you to stay signed up to Apple TV+ .

The late 1960s-set surrealist comedy-drama stars David Oyelowo as Hampton Chambers, a recently-freed convict who returns home to his family and tries
to turn over a new leaf. Perhaps unsurprisingly, complications arise that
lead to all sorts of trouble for Hampton to deal with.

Will Government Cheese earn a seat at the best Apple TV+ shows table? That remains to be seen but, based on its official trailer (see above), it looks like a pretty unique offering from the tech giant's entertainment division. TP Watch Government Cheese on Apple TV+ The Stolen Girl (Hulu/Disney+)

The Stolen Girl dramatizes every mother's worst nightmare. After a woman realises her daughter has been kidnapped from a play date, a European-wide hunt occurs to uncover the truth about what happened.

Thankfully, unlike another recent Hulu and Disney+ show Good American Family
, this series is fictional but it's definitely a scary watch. If you're in
the mood for a heart-pounding crime thriller, I highly recommend this one as it's got plenty of twists and turns and shocking moments.

With a great cast including Ambika Mod who you may know from Netflix's One
Day , alongside Holliday Granger as a terrified mom, it's done enough to win the approval of critics as it currently has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 83%, making it worthy of a spot on our best Hulu shows and best Disney+ shows lists. LB Watch The Stolen Girl on Hulu (US) and Disney+ (internationally) Wolf Man (Peacock)

Leigh Whannell's latest horror movie Wolf Man is now available to watch on Peacock and it might reassure you to know that there won't be a full moon over the weekend. So while you watch Julia Garner's character being
terrorized by her rapidly transforming husband, played by Christopher Abbott, you're safe and sound.

Critics were on the fence about this one, but I was more favorable in my Wolf Man review. Check out my interview with Christopher Abbott , too, if you want to know more about how he created his character.

Wolf Man might not reach the highs of The Invisible Man, but it's still an interesting take on one of the classic Universal Studios monster movies. If Whannell chooses to adapt another one, I'll be first in line. LB Watch Wolf Man on Peacock #1 Happy Family USA (Prime Video)

Ready to step into the childhood nightmares of actor-comedian Ramy Youssef? Known for the critically-acclaimed Hulu sitcom Ramy and equally great spinoff show Mo on Netflix, he's now teamed up with Pam Brady to co-create the adult animated series #1 Happy Family USA for Prime Video .

Made by Amazon MGM Studios, A24 and, Cairo Cowboy, this provocative satire follows a Muslim family as they navigate one of the most terrible events in America's history. Expect lots of South Park- esque humor about post-9/11 paranoia and plenty of 2000s nostalgia.

Season 1 is available to stream in full and, while it only has five reviews from critics at the time of writing, its flawless 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating makes it worthy of a spot on our best Prime Video shows guide. AS Watch #1 Happy Family USA on Prime Video The Rehearsal season 2 (Max)

If you weren't sure of what to watch this Easter weekend, Nathan Fielder is here to help. The multitalented artist is known for helping people prepare
for life's biggest moments in the docu-comedy series The Rehearsal, so you
can trust that you're in good hands.

The first season followed Fielder's project to create simulations that allow people to rehearse their own lives, but the next installment is set to see Fielder face "an issue that affects us all".

The first episode of The Rehearsal season 2 will air on HBO before being
made available on Max at 10.30pm ET in the US / 12.30pm AEST in Australia. Those in the UK will be able to find it on Sky and Now TV. AS Watch The Rehearsal season 2 on Max (US and Australia) and Sky/Now TV (UK)

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (April 25)

Date:
Fri, 25 Apr 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Description:
It's time to wave goodbye to two great shows this weekend and say hello to other fantastic looking new movies and TV series.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

April 2025 is slowly starting to wind down. But, before it makes way for May, there are a number of great looking new movies and shows you'll want to watch over this month's final weekend.

Disney+ and Netflix lead the pack with two new offerings apiece, but there are other options to choose from on some of the world's other leading streaming services . So, from the final seasons of two unmissable TV series
to the debut of some engrossing film genre fare, here's what you'll want to stream before Monday arrives. Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Andor season 2 (Disney+)

The best Star Wars show, not to mention the highest-rated Lucasfilm project
in many a year, is back for its final season. Andor season 2 is finally out
on Disney+ and, if you haven't watched its three-episode premiere yet,
you'll want to read my spoiler-free Andor season 2 review to find out why
it's must-see television.

Picking up a year after Andor 's first season ended, the series' final installment is split into four, trilogy-style events that cover the four
years leading up to Rogue One . I've seen all 12 episodes and, a couple of minor niggles aside, I can vouch for how devastatingly epic it is.

So, transport yourself back to that famous galaxy far, far away to not only watch one of the best Disney+ shows ' final chapter, but one of 2025's best
TV series so far. Honestly, it's that good. TP Watch Andor season 2 on Disney+ You season 5 (Netflix)

You has returned for its fifth and final season. It's been quite a wild ride for viewers who've followed Penn Badgley's Joe while he fixates on various women, leading him down a very dangerous path of murder and obsession. It's taken him to various cities, and now he's found himself back in New York City alongside new wife Kate.

He's hoping for a peaceful life with her, but this is Joe Goldberg we're talking about. You're not here to one of the best Netflix shows for a serene tale of domestic bliss, are you? No doubt it's going to go out with a bang as we say farewell to one of the creepiest characters out there.

I'm going to miss this far-fetched thriller and I mean that in the best possible way. It's been so ridiculous and over the top at times, but it's nonetheless been a fantastic bit of escapism. Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch You season 5 on Netflix Havoc (Netflix)

Ready for this week's Friday night action flick? Havoc is one of the most high-octane films Tom Hardy has ever been in , so you've got the star's assurance that you can expect a lot of fisticuffs, shootouts, and explosive action stunts in this new Netflix movie .

Written and directed by The Raid 's Gareth Evans, one of April's new Netflix movies follows bruised detective Walker (Hardy) as he tries to protect a corrupt politician's (Forest Whitaker) son Charlie (Justin Cornwell), as well as his son's girlfriend Mia (Quelin Sepulveda), after a drug deal goes wrong.

While it might not be one of the best Netflix movies , Evans' signature
brutal action style is on full display here with the help of Hardy and it might not be the duo's last team up . Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch Havoc on Netflix Babygirl (Max)

Babygirl is the latest A24 movie to hit Max It's another divisive one, too, because, despite its 76% Rotten Tomatoes score, general audiences have only given it an average of 48%.

Nicole Kidman has definitely had a series of flops lately, with The Perfect Couple disappointing me and her Prime Video movie Holland bombing critically. I suppose you can't win them all, eh?

If Babygirl disappoints you, don't worry, as there are plenty of other great new Max movies to stream instead. Alternatively, our best Max movies guide is home to a bunch of other options. LB Watch Babygirl on Max WondLa season 2 (Apple TV+)

You might know Apple TV+ for hit sci-fi series like Severance if you haven't already, make sure to read our Severance season 2 review but did you know that it also has a growing animation offering in the genre?

Like one of the best Apple TV+ shows , Silo, the animated sci-fi series
WondLa follows a young woman as she ventures out of a state-of-the-art bunker to discover a world unlike anything she ever expected.

Adapted from Tony DiTerlizzis 'The Search for WondLa' novels, the second season of this animated adventure show will pick up directly after season 1's cliffhanger ending. Will Eva find her home or will more discoveries set her
on a new journey? AS Watch WondLa season 2 on Apple TV+ Den of Thieves 2: Pantera (Prime Video)

Gerard Butler and O'Shea Jackson Jr return in Den of Thieves 2: Pantera so,
if you're in need of a good Amazon Original Movie, you need look no further.

Curiously, it's inspired by the 2003 Antwerp diamond heist and follows a sheriff who tails a suspected thief in an attempt to team-up with him for a robbery. It's performed decently on Rotten Tomatoes with a score of 62% so, while it won't go on our best Prime Video movies list, you can expect an entertaining ride at least.

A third one might be on the way, too, with the movie's director telling the Hollywood Reporter it had "already been pitched." LB Watch Den of Thieves 2: Pantera on Prime Video Flintoff (Disney+)

Disney+ is on a roll with its hit documentary films, many of which make up some of the best Disney+ movies you can stream on the platform.

Its latest tells the life story of former England cricketer and TV presenter Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff, who won two Ashes series with England before turning his hand to television, which led to the life-changing and near-fatal car crash on the UK edition of Top Gear in 2022.

Alongside Flintoff and his wife Rachael, you can expect to also hear from
some of the sporting icon's closest friends, including Michael Vaughan, James Corden, and Jack Whitehall in this 90-minute tell all. AS Watch Flintoff on Disney+

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (May 2)

Date:
Fri, 02 May 2025 14:00:10 +0000

Description:
From Blake Lively's new movie to a couple of intriguing Netflix shows, here's what you'll want to stream this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

It's time to settle down after a long week of work (or school/college/university studies) and enjoy one of the many new movies and
TV shows that have been released recently.

I'm going to be heading to my local IMAX cinema to watch Marvel's Thunderbolts* movie again (read my Thunderbolts* review if you want to know what I thought of Marvel's latest big-screen offering). But, if you fancy a quiet night in, there's plenty more to watch at home on the world's best streaming services .

So, without further ado, here's what you'll want to sit down to stream over the next few days. Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter The Four Seasons (Netflix)

If you're like me and love a TV show that makes you feel like you're on holiday, then this new Netflix comedy-romance series sounds like it'll be
just the ticket .

Like HBO's The White Lotus, the eight-episode series, which is a remake of
its movie namesake, centers around a group of friends going on vacation,
which is why many have made the comparison between the two series.

Created, written, and produced by Tina Fey, the show sees the actor team up with Date Night co-star Steve Carell again for a romantic holiday. However, not everything is as rosy as it seems when one of the three couples on vacation split up. This has the making to be one of the best Netflix shows but, as always, the proof will be in the pudding. Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch The Four Seasons on Netflix Another Simple Favor (Prime Video)

I'm a huge fan of the A Simple Favor , so I'm intrigued to see where its
Prime Video sequel goes. Judging by the trailer, it's going to be just as stylish and mysterious as the first, and it's bringing all the sunshine and glamor of an Italian wedding too.

Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick are back, of course, and I'm so excited to see what happens in the Amazon Movie Original, especially since Kendrick's character agrees to be maid of honor for Lively's character. It's a scenario that reminds me a lot of one of my favorite Black Mirror episodes, aka 'Nosedive', and I have a feeling this wedding will be just as chaotic.

It's also got Severance season 2 composer Theodore Shapiro's music, so you know it's going to sound great, but will it popular enough to earn a spot on our best Prime Video movies guide? Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Another Simple Favor on Prime Video Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld (Disney+)

It's almost time to celebrate the existence of Lucasfilm's iconic galaxy far, far away. Indeed, this Sunday (May 4) marks the annually observed tradition
of Star Wars Day, which takes place every year on the same date (you know,
May the Fourth Be With You and all that!).

What better way to honor the legendary sci-fi universe, then, than with the release of a new Disney+ show? Tales of the Underworld is the third animated miniseries to shine a light on two franchise characters who deserve a bit
more screentime. So, who'll star in this four-part installment? Cad Bane and Asajj Ventress, the former being a bounty hunter and the latter a Nightsister-turned-assassin.

Will one of 2025's new Star Wars TV shows be received as well as 2022's Tales of the Jedi and deserve a spot on our best Disney+ shows ? Or will it fall victim to the Dark Side are earn less stellar reviews like Tales of the
Empire ? Time will tell! TP Watch Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld on Disney+ Careme (Apple TV+)

Cuisine is at the heart of any good streaming platform. Now, Apple TV+ is shining a spotlight on the world's first celebrity chef, Antonin Carme.

We're no stranger to celebrity chefs in the modern era I'm someone who
spends half my life watching Kitchen Nightmares but this is a very different story.

Set in Napoleon's Europe, Carme's talent attracts the attention of
politicians who use him as a spy for France, so you can expect intrigue as a side order to your usual culinary delights. I'm already hooked by this Apple TV Original's premise and I suspect it'll soon find its way onto our best Apple TV+ shows list. LB Watch Careme on Apple TV+ A Complete Unknown (Disney+)

Those streaming services they are a-changing, so make sure to check in on one of May's new Disney+ movies because it's finally adding the Bob Dylan biographical drama, aka A Complete Unknown, just over a month after it made its Hulu debut stateside.

In this fictionalized take on the protest singer-songwriters life, director James Mangold ( Ford vs Ferrari; Walk The Line ) takes us back to a fresh-faced Dylan arriving at Greenwich Village in the early 60s, guiding us through a new reimagining of his rise to fame.

Don't let its Oscar snub dissuade you from streaming this one and getting to hear the original soundtrack from Timothe Chalamet. Indeed, it's one of the best Disney+ movies you'll watch this month. AS Watch A Complete Unknown on Disney+ The Eternaut (Netflix)

Sci-fi is one of my favorite genres, so I'm very excited that the genre is growing over on Netflix with the addition of The Eternaut .

In this intriguing series, which is based on an Argentinian graphic novel, we follow a group of survivors following a deadly snowfall. If that wasn't stressful enough, the incident was powered by an alien invasion.

With six hour-long episodes to dive into, it sounds like it'll a great
weekend binge watch. Based on its largely positive Rotten Tomatoes critical and audiences scores, this is one series you'll want to get snowed in for so you can stream it ASAP. LB Watch The Eternaut on Netflix 100 Foot Wave
season 3 (Max)

Garrett McNamara returns to Max in a brand new season of the two time Emmy-winning 100 Foot Wave docuseries.

The first season chronicled McNamara's journey to becoming the world record holder for the largest wave ever surfed in Nazar, Portugal, and has since expanded to follow the highs and lows of other renowned big wave surfers. Season 3 will see the athlete travel to stunning new locations, including Oahu, Hawaii for the rarely held Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational.

The five-part third season is set to be another heart-pounding, awe-inspiring watch filled with even more stunning big wave footage of these deaths-dying surfers. One to add to our best Max shows ? Maybe! AS Watch 100 Foot Wave season 3 on Max

From Captain America 4's official streaming debut to Netflix Tudum 2025, here's what you'll want to watch this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Who's ready to spend another weekend in front of the TV? If you answered
"me!" to that question, you'll want to know what's worth watching on the world's best streaming services .

There's a lot to look forward to as well. From the official streaming debut
of 2025's first Marvel movie to the 2025 edition of Netflix 's Tudum fan celebration, we've rounded up the best films and TV series to check out
before Monday rolls around. Enjoy! Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Captain America: Brave New World (Disney+)

Over three months after it initially flew into theaters, the penultimate Marvel Phase 5 movie Captain America: Brave New World has landed on Disney+ .

Sam Wilson's first big-screen outing as Cap 2.0 sees the titular hero contend with plenty in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ), too. Indeed, not only
is he asked to reform the Avengers by army general-turned-US president Thaddeus Ross, but he also becomes embroiled in a diplomatic storm when a mysterious figure almost instigates World War III among the biggest nations
on Earth.

So, is Captain America 4 worth seeing and/or deserving of a place on our best Disney+ movies list? My Captain America: Brave New World review reveals all. If you end up streaming it, be sure to read my Captain America: Brave New World ending explained piece once you're done to see how it sets up future events in the MCU, too. TP Watch Captain America: Brave New World on Disney+ Netflix Tudum 2025 (Netflix)

Now a yearly tradition, this year's edition of Netflix Tudum, an event that celebrates the best Netflix shows and reveals more details about a whole host of new Netflix movies , takes place this weekend. And, without spoiling much, it sounds like it'll be an absolute doozy.

We'll be covering the event live, so check back in with us tomorrow (May 31) and follow along with our live blog to get the lowdown on the biggest announcements.

You can stream the event in real time, too, via Netflix itself, or on the streaming titan's various social media platforms, to learn the latest about Stranger Things season 5 , Wednesday season 2 , Knives Out 3 , and so many other exciting new films and shows that are coming in 2025. I, for one,
cannot wait, so much so I've rounded up my biggest predictions for what'll be unveiled at Tudum 2025 . TP Watch Netflix Tudum 2025 on Netflix Mountainhead (Max)

Jesse Armstrong, the creator of huge HBO hit Succession , is back with his latest project. This time, he's satirizing big tech companies, the
egotistical individuals who run them, and the influence they hold in today's climate, via a comedy-drama flick called Mountainhead .

Starring the likes of Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, and Ramy Youssef, this Max Original Movie sees four 'tech bros' (read: billionaire playboys) reunite at a remote location amid a fictional international crisis.

Little else has been revealed about the film's plot. But, if Succession
taught us anything, Armstrong has a strong handle on showing wealthy people
in all their messy glory. Here's hoping, then, that this is one we'll be adding to our best Max movies guide shortly. TP Watch Mountainhead on Max
The Better Sister (Prime Video)

Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks lead the cast of this gripping new Prime Video series that follows two sisters as they reunite to try to untangle a complicated family history.

As the Amazon TV Original's title suggests, these women have very different lives. Chloe has a picturesque life, while Nicky struggles to make ends meet. However, things take a dark turn when Chloe's husband is murdered and the two try to discover the truth about what happened.

At the time of publication, it's got a healthy 82% Rotten Tomatoes critical score , so I'll definitely be catching this over the weekend. Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch The Better Sister on Prime Video And Just Like That... season 3 (Max)

This Sex and the City sequel has critics split down the middle with it 55% Rotten Tomatoes critical rating and its audience score is even worse. A real shame then, that it's got no chance of being on our best Max shows round up.

Having said that, it's certainly got a dedicated fanbase, which is why it's back for a third season. The producers have made some controversial
decisions, especially when it came to killing off Mr. Big, but you have to admit And Just Like That... isn't short on drama.

If you're among those dying to see Sarah Jessica Parker and the squad
stepping into their stilettos once again, you're in luck. Season 3 has just made its debut on HBO and Max, and new episodes are due out every week for
the foreseeable future. LB Watch And Just Like That... season 3 on Max Bono: Stories of Surrender (Apple TV+)

If you still haven't found what you're looking for (I'll see myself out...) when it comes to a good U2 documentary, Bono: Stories of Surrender , which is out now on Apple's streaming platform, might change that.

This Apple TV+ documentary focuses on the U2 frontman as he pulls back the curtain on his life, thereby allowing you to follow his very personal journey which features his family, friends, and faith.

There might not be much here for non-U2 fans, but it's an essential watch for those wanting a bit more Bono. The jury is out, though, on whether it'll make it onto our best Apple TV+ movies list. LB Watch Bono: Stories of Surrender on Apple TV+ Dept. Q (Netflix)

This Netflix thriller series is a must-watch for those who need a
delightfully dark detective drama in their life. It's also got a stellar
cast, too, with Mark Bonnar and Kelly MacDonald among its ranks.

Dept. Q has also got something of a bleak-sounding plot. Indeed, we follow a former top-rated detective who's wracked with guilt following an attack that left his partner paralysed and another policeman dead. As he returns to work, he takes on a cold case which starts to consume his life.

Netflix has enjoyed some great success with similarly gripping espionage fare in recent years, such as Black Doves and The Night Agent. And, with The Queen's Gambit 's creator behind the wheel of this genre vehicle, it could be a thrilling ride to immerse yourself in this weekend. LB Watch Dept. Q on Netflix

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (June 6)

Date:
Fri, 06 Jun 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Description:
Ginny & Georgia season 3, The Accountant 2, and more are ready to be watched at home this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

We're not one for overexaggerating here at TechRadar. But, if you'll humor
me, this week's streaming list is packed full of top-tier releases that you won't want to miss.

Indeed, there are plenty of exciting new movies and returning TV favorites to enjoy on the world's best streaming services this weekend (June 4 to 6). So, whether you're ready for the next season of Ginny & Georgia , or can't wait
to watch Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal team up in The Accountant 2 , you won't want to miss one or more of the following seven projects before you head back to work. Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Ginny & Georgia season 3 (Netflix)

Brianne Howey and Antonia Gentry are back as the titular Ginny and Georgia. Season 3 of the Netflix comedy-drama show is out now and while its 64%
Rotten Tomatoes score means Ginny & Georgia has fallen short of a spot on our best Netflix shows list, it has quite the dedicated fanbase who are eager to see more trials and tribulations this season.

In this series' latest entry, the mother and daughter duo are split up after Georgia was arrested for murder during her wedding. With her mother in
prison, Ginny needs to see where she stands when push comes to shove. It certainly sounds like a rollercoaster. Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Ginny & Georgia season 3 on Netflix The Accountant 2 (Prime Video)

The Accountant wasn't exactly received with open arms upon its October 2016 release, but I remember enjoying what it offered when I streamed it at home years later. The arrival of its sequel on Prime Video yesterday (June 5), then, means my weekend movie viewing is covered.

In this action-thriller from Amazon and Warner Bros, Ben Affleck returns as Christian Wolff, an autistic number cruncher who also masquerades as a
skilled marksman. This time around, Wolff enlists the aid of his estranged brother Braxton (Jon Bernthal) to investigate the death of former FinCEN director Raymond King (J.K. Simmons) at the request of the company's deputy director (Cynthia Addai-Robinson).

The Accountant 2 has faired far better than its forebear with fans and critics alike, so you can expect to see it calculate a way onto our best
Prime Video movies article in the near future. TP Watch The Accountant 2 on Prime Video Stick (Apple TV+)

While I've never been interested in golf, I'm very excited to watch Stick
this weekend. The new Apple TV+ series has debuted with a healthy 77% Rotten Tomatoes score, too, so it sounds like I'm in for a treat and it's up for a spot on our best Apple TV+ shows list.

Here, Owen Wilson plays Pryce Cahill, a professional golfer-turned salesman whose career ended after an on-course meltdown derailed his once successful career. We follow him as he sets his sights on a rising star named Santi (Peter Dager) and aims to repair his reputation by coaching the talented up-and-comer.

With Happy Gilmore 2 set to arrive on Netflix in July, golf-themed comedies are back on the menu. Let's hope either or both won't be a swing and a miss. LB Watch Stick on Apple TV+ Predator: Killer of Killers (Hulu/Disney+)

I was a huge fan of 2022 Predator prequel film Prey (you can read more about why in my Prey review ). So, you can bet I was stoked to learn that Dan Trachtenburg, who directed that sci-fi horror flick, was making an animated anthology movie that would delve deeper into the Yautja mythos

Predator: Killer of Killers , which is out now on Hulu and Disney+ , follows three human characters as they encounter various iterations of the titular alien warriors at different points in history. Spoilers notwithstanding,
these individual tales are more connected than many people realize, too.

I mostly enjoyed my time with Predator: Killer of Killers . Its painterly visuals lend themselves well to the franchise's violent sensibilities, while its anthology format is an intriguing albeit uneven narrative approach to take. Despite that niggle, I'm of the view that it deserves a spot on our
best Hulu movies and best Disney+ movies lists. TP Watch Predator: Killer of Killers on Hulu (US) and Disney+ (internationally) The Alto Knights (Max)

What comes to mind when I say Robert de Niro? To some millennials, it'll be his star turn in the Meet the Parents franchise. To many others, though,
it'll be his back catalog of crime genre films.

Well, here's another to add to that collection. Now available on Max , The Alto Knights sees de Niro star in dual roles as Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, two legendary real-life Italian mob bosses whose friendship soured when petty jealousies and numerous betrayals turned them into warring crime lords.

This Barry Levinson-directed period crime drama won't be joining our best Max movies guide due to its incredibly disappointing 39% Rotten Tomatoes critical score . Nonetheless, I'm sure de Niro devotees will get a kick out of it. TP Watch The Alto Knights on Max Tyler Perry's Straw (Netflix)

Tyler Perry has been busy lately. His previous movie Duplicity released on Prime Video earlier this year, and now he's got Straw on Netflix.

In it, we follow a single mother (played by Taraji P. Henson) whose world unravels in chaos as she struggles to care for her ill daughter. When she accidentally holds her local bank hostage as she struggles to cash a check, this thriller explores the lengths you'd go to in order to protect someone
you love.

With a lead you'll feel sympathy for, Straw looks like it'll be posing a lot of questions about what can happen when someone's at breaking point. It remains to be seen if it'll earn a spot on our best Netflix movies guide, though. LB Watch Tyler Perry's Straw on Netflix Phineas & Ferb season 5 (Disney+)

Today is gonna be a great day, as the beloved theme song goes, because
Phineas and Ferb are finally back for their long-awaited fifth season.

It's hard to believe the first aired in 2007, isn't it? Those of us who used to tune in to follow the silly adventures of Perry the Platypus and rock out to some great Bowling for Soup music get to do it all over again in 2025,
with the series being revived after a 10-year break.

With 10 episodes to enjoy, I'm looking forward to reliving my childhood all over again. It's great to be back. LB Watch Phineas and Ferb season 5 on Disney+

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (June 20)

Date:
Fri, 20 Jun 2025 14:00:00 +0000

Description:
The most surprising movie hit of 2025, A Minecraft Movie, is among the new films and series worth streaming this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

It's the end of another working week and you definitely deserve a well-earned rest in front of the TV.

Thankfully, there are plenty of exciting new movies and shows to watch at home, too. From the return of fan-favorite series to the official streaming debut of one of the most memorable films of 2025, there's lots to check out
on the world's best streaming services before Monday rolls around. So, read
on to learn more about the seven biggest new things you should stream this weekend. Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter A Minecraft Movie (Max)

I don't think anyone expected A Minecraft Movie to be one of the biggest
movie hits of the year. As evidenced by my two-star review of A Minecraft Movie , I certainly didn't and I even took Mojang's best-selling video game namesake's worldwide fanbase into account, too.

And yet, whether it was down to the game series' enduring popularity, its starry cast, or those viral TikTok videos of chaotic screenings you must
have seen those 'Chicken Jockey!' memes by now A Minecraft Movie has become one of the highest-grossing films of 2025. Not only does that mean it
deserves a spot on our best Max movies list, but also that it's worth
checking out on Max this weekend. You'll be pleasantly surprised by what's on offer or, like me, wonder what all of the fuss is about, and I say that as someone who's enjoyed the odd Minecraft gaming marathon! TP Watch A
Minecraft Movie on Max The Waterfront (Netflix)

If you're in the mood for a twisty drama, Netflix 's latest TV Originals
might hit the spot.

Inspired by true events and set in coastal North Carolina, The Waterfront explores family dynamics and the lengths people will go to when their legacy is on the line. The series follows the Buckley family, who has ruled Havenport, dominating everything from the local fishing industry to the towns restaurant scene. But, all that has started to crumble as patriarch Harlan recovers from two heart attacks.

It's giving similar vibes to Succession in a way, but will this be as popular as that hit series and carve out a space as one of the best Netflix shows ? Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch The Waterfront on Netflix The Buccaneers season 2 (Apple TV+)

Dust off your bustles and bowler hats, because it's finally time to step back into the Gilded Age for season 2 of one of the best Apple TV+ shows : The Buccaneers.

The last time we saw sisters Nan and Jinny St George alongside sisters Lizzy and Mabel Elmsworth in this Apple TV Original, the group were only just starting to settle into London high society after traveling to England for
the wedding of Conchita Closson. Now, the American heiresses are practically running the place, which is precisely where the first episode of this Apple TV+ show's sophomore season starts off.

Expect the remaining eight episodes of this Bridgerton and My Lady Jane rival to be released weekly until the finale premieres on August 6. Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch The Buccaneers season 2 on Apple TV+ We Were Liars (Prime Video)

We Are Liars is an interesting one. It's got a positive 75% Rotten Tomatoes critics score (at the time of publication), but it remains to be seen if the Prime Video young adult drama will similarly appeal to general viewers.

If you love a psychological thriller, you may be keen to see which side of
the debate you fall on this weekend. This eight-part Amazon TV series follows a 17 year old girl from a wealthy family, who spends summers on a private island.

However, when she suffers a terrible accident, she struggles to remember events that happened in her past, and it goes from there. Expect lies, deception and shocking truths with this one, which could yet join our best Prime Video shows list. LB Watch We Were Liars on Prime Video The Gilded Age season 3 (Max)

It's a big weekend for period drama fans, because there's also the return of HBO's hit historical drama The Gilded Age gracing our screens.

Following the end of the Opera War at the end of season 2, New York high society has never been more in flux. Will the Russells be the new top dog in town? Can Agnes come to terms with Ada's new position as the lady of the house? There's a lot at stake.

This season's first episode debuts this Sunday (June 22), with new episodes
of one of the best Max shows scheduled to be released weekly through August 10. AS Watch The Gilded Age season 3 on Max Kpop Demon Hunters (Netflix)

I love movie soundtracks. They're among my most listened to albums, purely because they always have a way of transporting me back to the film. So, it's exciting to see Netflix put this front and centre in KPop Demon Hunters.

One of June's new Netflix movies features music from K-pop icons, including Danny Chung, IDO, Vince, KUSH, EJAE, Jenna Andrews, Stephen Kirk, Lindgren, Mark Sonnenblick and Daniel Rojas, as well as original songs from Jeongyeon, Jihyo and Chaeyoung of TWICE, giving it all the star power to make it one of the best Netflix movies.

K-pop superstars by day, demon hunters by night, the film follows a famous ensemble that fights off supernatural forces, including a new rival boy band of demons that's out to steal the limelight. AS Watch Kpop Demon Hunters on Netflix Underdogs (Hulu/Disney+)

I love a good nature documentary. I enjoyed Secrets of the Penguins narrated by Blake Lively, and now her husband Ryan Reynolds is following in her footsteps with Underdogs .

In this five-part Hulu and Disney+ docuseries, we examine the weird and
unsung heroes of the animal kingdom. You can expect to see questionable parenting strategies, nature's con artists, and how these animals use various tactics to get by.

Each episode is around 40 minutes and is packed with witty commentary and up close footage that's perfect for any nature lover this weekend One for our best Hulu shows and best Disney+ shows guides, perhaps?. LB Watch Underdogs on Hulu (US) and Disney+ (internationally)
