New Shows And Movies To Stream On Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Apple TV And More
What to watch this weekend.
Terrifying serial killers, hilarious travel videos and an incidental investigator who can always tell when someone all make up this weekend’s viewing slate. Alongside new TV shows and movies, a number of ongoing shows are coming out weekly on Apple TV, AMC+, Hulu and various other streaming services. We sure have a lot of them to keep track of these days!
That’s where this handy guide comes in. Every week, I scour the internet for all the best new content and compile it here in your friendly neighborhood streaming guide. A lot of these are shows I’m watching, but that’s not always the case. Nobody has time to keep up with all of this.
On top of the new shows I’ve been watching lately, I just finished the entire run of The Wire on HBO. It was genuinely one of the best series I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. Afterward, I dove right into another David Simon production: We Own This City, which also takes place in Baltimore but is based on true events.
I’m also on the second season of Unforgotten on Prime Video. This British mystery series follows a team of investigators solving “historical crimes” — murders that took place decades ago that were never solved, or even recorded as murders. When the bodies turn up, the team has to not only find out who they belong to, but how they died and who killed them. Plenty more skeletons are uncovered when DCI Cassie Stuart (Nicola Walker) and her team start digging, most of them in various closets belonging to those close to the victim. It’s fantastic.

What’s New & Notable This Weekend
Poker Face — Season 2 (Peacock)
Rian Johnson’s “mystery of the week” series Poker Face made a big splash when it first landed on Peacock, and now Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie Cale has returned. Charlie is something of a burnout and a drifter, but she has a special skill: She can always tell when someone is lying. This makes her especially good at solving crimes, which she stumbles across with uncanny frequency. The series is known for its guest stars, and this time around we have Cynthia Erivo, Giancarlo Esposito and many more. The first three episodes are out now with new episodes streaming every Thursday.
Heart Eyes (Netflix)
From the producers of Scream, Heart Eyes is a brand new Valentine’s Day-themed horror Netflix Original movie that’s out just in time for Valentine’s D—er, well, I guess they timed this one poorly. What ought to have been the perfect release for February 14th is three months late, but at least it’s getting good reviews, with 81% critics and 77% of audiences giving this a “Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes. The titular killer targets couples and wears glowing red heart eyes. That’s a little on the nose, but it looks fun.
Nonnas (Netflix Movie)
Vince Vaughn plays a man named Joe who decides to open up an Italian restaurant in honor of his late mother and grandmother. He enlists the help of his mom’s group of friends (including Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire and Brenda Vaccaro). The sentimental dramedy is also reviewing quite well, with an 88% Rotten Tomatoes score from critics.
Blood Of Zeus — Season 3 (Netflix)
This mythological adult animated series has done something quite remarkable: Each of its three seasons, including the newly released third season, boasts 100% Rotten Tomatoes scores. Not a lot of shows can say that. The story follows the bastard son of Zeus on his heroic quest to save the heaven and earth, all while navigating the ire of a vengeful goddess. I’ve seen critics calling this the best season yet, which is certainly exciting news for fans.
Conan O’Brien Must Go — Season 2 (Max)
If you like Conan O’Brien’s brand of humor (I think he’s genuinely funny) and you want to see him spread said humor all over the globe, Conan O’Brien Must Go is a must-watch. The first two episodes of this zany travel series is out now on Max (New Zealand and Spain) with more each week. He visits Austria next weekend.
Warfare (VOD)
A realistic portrayal of events in Iraq in 2006, Alex Garland’s Warfare takes place in real time as American troops navigate a deadly encounter during the Battle of Ramadi. The movie is co-written and directed by Iraq War veteran, Ray Mendoza, and is based entirely on testimony of those who were there. I didn’t catch this in theaters, but I’m tempted to purchase it now that it’s out on digital. It looks excellent, though quite harrowing. I liked Garland’s previous film, Civil War, though it was not a pleasant watch.
What I’m Watching Weekly
While many shows have ended in recent weeks, there’s still no shortage of great stuff to watch. From the best Star Wars show ever made, to some genuinely wonderful offerings on Apple TV+, to at least two zombie apocalypses, here’s everything I’m tracking each week. Obviously there are too many shows to list in one guide, but these are the ones on my list.
Andor (Disney+)
We’re already three-quarters of the way through Andor at this point, and it just keeps getting better. Last week’s trio of episodes was genuinely some of the best Star Wars ever made, with an explosive showdown on the planet Ghorman and some crazy twists and turns, character deaths and major implications for the rebellion’s struggle against the Empire. Don’t believe anyone who says this show is too slow or boring. All the fans in the “never Disney” camp are missing out on the best Star Wars since the original trilogy.
You can read my spoiler-free Season 2 review here. I also made a video arguing that Star Wars is not just for kids, and that serious, mature shows like Andor are absolutely what this franchise needs.
The Last Of Us (HBO / Max)
This season of The Last Of Us has been a bit of a mixed bag, but this is hardly surprising given the divisive choices made in the video game it’s based on. Still, I thought last Sunday’s episode was quite good, and things are certainly heating up in Seattle as Ellie and Dina hunt down Abby and her friends. Revenge is in the air. Read my review of Episode 4 right here.
The Studio (Apple TV)
Matt Remick just can’t catch a break in Apple TV’s hilarious parody of the movie business. Seth Rogen plays Remick, the chief of fictional Continental Studios, a man who can’t do anything without making matters worse. It’s incredibly clever, and makes great use of “oners” to create long, chaotic shots. Each episode gets Remick and his colleagues into some hot water, whether they’re figuring out how to tell Ron Howard he needs to cut the final act of his new movie, or debating whether casting Ice Cube as the Kool-Aid Man is racist. It’s consistently funny and a lot smarter than it has any right to be.
The Walking Dead: Dead City (AMC+)
I was . . . less than pleased with the first episode of The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2. I ended up liking Season 1 more than most TWD spinoffs, but the return of Maggie and Negan last week really irked me to no end. The writers and producers of these shows just can’t seem to write a compelling script or come up with unique and interesting stories anymore, so we just get recycled plots and rehashed conflicts, riddled with plot holes and ridiculous decisions. Still, I’ve come this far and will continue to watch and critique this series. You can read my review of the Season 2 premiere right here.
Black Snow (AMC+)
AMC isn’t just putting out bad zombie shows, thankfully. Black Snow is an excellent cold cases mystery starring Travis Fimmel. Fimmel plays detective James Cormack in this Australian series. Season 2 follows the case of Zoe (Jana McKinnon) who disappeared in 2003. I’ve only watched the first two episodes so far, but it’s every bit as good as Season 1 and I like that we’re getting a whole new region of Australia to explore.
Your Friends & Neighbors (Apple TV)
Things are going from bad to worse for poor Coop (Jon Hamm) in this excellent dark comedy series on Apple TV+. In the latest episode, Coop ends up having a really nice time with his family (and especially with his ex-wife, natch) when they roadtrip to Princeton so his daughter Ali can take the college tour. Of course, this takes place in the shadow of two pretty awful events from last week’s episode, and Coop learns quickly that simply ignoring what happened doesn’t make it go away. New episodes come out every Friday and I absolutely recommend this show, though I do also wonder if I’m just the perfect demographic for it (middle-aged divorced dads with teenage children).
MobLand (Paramount+)
Fixer Harry (Tom Hardy) works for mob boss, Conrad Harrigan (Pierce Brosnan) in this Paramount+ British crime drama. I’m actually still behind on this one, but I’ve enjoyed it so far. The cast also includes Paddy Considine and Helen Mirren, among others, and the twisty-turny plot is about what you’d expect from a project produced by Guy Ritchie.
Other shows that I’m not following or caught up on but keep meaning to watch:
- The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu
- Law & Order Organized Crime on Peacock
- Godfather Of Harlem on MGM+
- Doctor Who on Disney+
