The content pile is vast, and you've got the whole weekend to decide how you want to slice it. We're in the midst of ever-intensifying streaming wars, and there are too many shows and movies to choose from, spread across too many video-streaming services. So we're making it easier for you. Each week, we highlight the streaming content we're excited to watch or think you should binge. Fire up your media-streaming device of choice, and start watching.
One of the most delicious shows on TV is back for a second season, as chef Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) and his crew at the Original Beef of Chicagoland start the process of turning the restaurant into a high-end eatery.
The MCU returns, this time starring one of its longest-running stars, Samuel L. Jackson, as Nick Fury, agent (sometimes director) of S.H.I.E.L.D. This time around, he has to protect the world from an invasion of shapeshifters who he once thought were his friends.
Time again to visit the city that once was sexy but now seems a little annoying—or maybe that's just Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez). But if you can't live without a healthy helping of Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda (with just the tiniest sprinkle of Samantha), this is the second-season show you want. (Or you could watch Sex and the City reruns.)
If you had a 13-foot-tall kid, would you hide him away? That's what happened to Cootie, but now he's an adult and free, taking in a world he knows only from TV and comics—which, of course, puts him on the path to becoming a hero. If that plot description didn't give away this series' weirdness, the fact that it's created by Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You) might.
Twelve-year-old Prem finds out his late dad was a major rap star. So he sets out to see if rapping is also as much in his DNA as it is in his fantasies.
Megachurches and the rich, powerful, ridiculous religious figures running them are excellent targets for comedy. The family Gemstone, with John Goodman is the patriarch, offers plenty. But he has retired and left things under the kids' control, which, as we all know from Succession, is never going to work.
Hapless humans are shipwrecked on King Kong's island home, which is full of terrifyingly large fauna. This animated series is for adults only and is part of the MonsterVerse franchise that also gave us the movie Kong: Skull Island.
Jenna is trying to come back from a spectacular failure in her fashion career: She's swallowing her pride and taking a job from an old nemesis. Things are tense enough in the office, but then she realizes that the new man in her life happens to be the nemesis-boss' son. The cast is fantastic, with Gabrielle Union as Jenna and the amazing Gina Torres as her boss, as well as Niecy Nash,, Janet Hubert, and LaLa Anthony.
The horrors of medical care for children in the US hit the nadir in the case of 10-year-old Maya, who was taken in 2016 to a hospital with a rare illness. The family almost didn't get her back when she was misdiagnosed as a victim of child abuse.
