With summer at a full boil, TV is cooking up a fresh batch of new movies and shows to watch this weekend on Netflix, Hulu and more of the best streaming services. I, for one, am fully in favor of surrendering to the AC and letting other people do the emotional heavy lifting this time around.

That includes saying goodbye to “The Bear” as it serves its final season and returning to the elemental world of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” in season 2. With their finales airing this week, this weekend is an ideal time to binge all of the Jane Austen romance “The Other Bennet Sister" and the supernatural thriller "From."

Plus, you can get two very different U.S. history lessons in the docuseries “The American Experiment” and Larry David's sketch comedy “Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness.” Here's our guide on what to watch this weekend.

‘The Bear’ season 5 (Hulu)

The vibes: Carmy, pack up your knives and go — for real, this time.

The plot: The final season opens the morning after Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) bails on the restaurant, leaving Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and Natalie (Abby Elliott) to keep the place from imploding. There’s a potential buyer circling, a bank account running on fumes, and the usual kitchen chaos unfolding. With one last dinner service on the line, the crew has to decide if they can pull off perfect or just try to survive.

All 8 episodes streaming now on Hulu

‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ season 2 (Netflix)

The vibes: Destiny + adolescence = you in danger, boy.

The plot: After a hard-fought victory in the North, Aang (Gordon Cormier), Katara (Kiawentiio), and Sokka (Ian Ousley) set their sights on Ba Sing Se, hoping to convince the Earth King to join the war against Fire Lord Ozai (Daniel Dae Kim). But the journey gets off-kilter in the stew of political unease, growing distrust and Aang’s rocky earthbending lessons with Toph (Miyako). The “destiny of the world” starts to feel a lot more complicated than a straight path to heroism.

All 7 episodes streaming now on Netflix

‘Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness’ (HBO)

The vibes: U.S. history, with Larry David's signature kvetching.

The plot: To mark the nation’s semiquincentennial, this HBO sketch series from producers Barack and Michelle Obama reimagines key moments in U.S. history as a loosely structured, improv-like half-hour. Larry David drifts through foundational American milestones in a constant state of irritation. Across roughly four sketches per episode, a rotating lineup of comedian pals joins as history gets rewritten in real time with maximum discomfort.

Episode 1 premieres Friday, June 26 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max

‘The Other Bennet Sister’ (BritBox)

The vibes: Jane Austen gets a remix where the ignored middle sister is the star.

The plot: With the finale airing this week, and all episodes available, now is the perfect time to settle into this "Pride and Prejudice" fanfic adaptation that hands the spotlight to Mary Bennet (Ella Bruccoleri), the chronically overlooked sister whose chief crime is not being dazzling. After revisiting familiar events from Mary's sidelined perspective, the series sends her beyond Meryton and into a life of her own, where self-discovery, independence, and, naturally, romance await.

All 10 episodes streaming now on BritBox

'From' (MGM+)

The vibes: The puzzle box has grown terrifyingly tight.

The plot: With the season 4 finale airing June 28, now's the perfect time to catch up on TV's most maddening mystery box. The Man in Yellow has escalated his game, while Boyd Stevens (Harold Perrineau) continues to struggle to keep Fromville from unraveling. Meanwhile, Julie's time-jumping has caused complications, and a newcomer has brought fresh trouble to town.

Episodes 1-9 streaming now on MGM+
Finale drops Sunday, June 28

‘A Woman of Substance’ (BritBox)

The vibes: A rags-to-riches melodrama with grit and tears.

The plot: Jessica Reynolds stars as Emma Harte, a Yorkshire maid who refuses to accept the limits of her place in the world. After betrayal and heartbreak force her out on her own, she spends decades clawing her way to power, building a business empire that stretches from the moors to Manhattan. By the time Brenda Blethyn takes over as the older Emma, she’s conquered boardrooms, but the real battleground turns out to be her own family, where the knives are just as sharp..

Episodes 1-2 streaming now on BritBox

‘The American Experiment’ (Netflix)

The vibes: Your high school civics class but with way more drama.

The plot: Arriving just in time for the United States’ 250th birthday, this five-part series takes a closer look at the nation’s origin story. Historians, politicians and assorted Very Serious People dissect the Revolution, the writing of the Constitution and all the contradictions baked in from the beginning. Beneath the debate and archival footage, one question keeps resurfacing: Was this grand experiment really built to last?

All 5 episodes streaming now on Netflix

'Wild Cherry' (Paramount+)

The vibes: "Big Little Lies" with British accents.

The plot: In a picture-perfect pocket of privilege, two longtime friends find themselves on opposite sides of a scandal involving their teenage daughters. It starts as neighborhood gossip, but curdles into something darker as old resentments surface. Their community soon discovers just how much mess is hiding behind the immaculately manicured hedges.

USA vs Turkey is a chance for the USMNT to really flex their muscles, seeing as they're through to the Round of 32 regardless of the result. However, even if you've got a solid broadband connection at home, there's no guarantee of a smooth stream. ISPs routinely throttle bandwidth when they detect heavy streaming activity, and with millions of fans tuning in simultaneously, the risk of a buffering-plagued match is very real.

The best VPNs tackle this by making your traffic unreadable to your ISP. Without knowing what you're doing, it can't make the decision to slow you down – so instead of throttling your stream mid-match, it simply lets your connection run at full tilt.

Right now, Norton VPN sits at the top of our best streaming VPN rankings, and a compelling World Cup deal makes it particularly well-timed for anyone wanting a buffer-free tournament.

How does Norton VPN compare to other top VPNs?

When it comes to sheer breadth, NordVPN is hard to beat. Its network spans more than 9,000 servers across 149 countries, and in our speed tests it hit over 1,249 Mbps locally – figures that put it ahead of most of the competition. That firepower does come at a cost, though. NordVPN starts at $3.49 per month, and that requires you to commit for two years. What's more, it comes with only a 30-day money-back guarantee, compared to Norton's 60-day window.

Surfshark undercuts both on price, with two-year plans coming in at just $1.99 per month – and unlike Norton, it places no cap on device connections, making it an appealing option for households with a lot of hardware. Speed-wise it's no slouch either, ranking among the fastest VPNs we've tested. Where it falls short is consistency: in our streaming tests, it has occasionally failed to unblock certain Netflix regions that Norton handles without issue.

For throttling specifically, what matters most is that your VPN can reliably access streaming sites and mask your traffic from your ISP – and that's precisely where Norton's streaming credentials count most. Add in the 60-day money-back guarantee, which is double the industry standard and comfortably covers the entire tournament, and the choice is easy.

NordVPN and Surfshark are both worth considering once the final whistle blows on the group stage, but if a buffer-free World Cup is the goal, Norton is the one to back.

"Strung" is the latest movie offering from the prolific Tyler Perry, with the producer joining forces with BlumHouse chief Jason Blum and director Malcom D. Lee for a thriller starring Chloe Bailey.

Here's how to watch "Strung" from anywhere with a VPN - and potentially for a dollar with a neat streaming hack.

Ordinarily, Tyler Perry is known for his work in the comedy field, but the filmmaker does have a penchant for crafting riveting thriller movies from time to time. Meanwhile, BlumHouse are one of the biggest names in horror, with films like "M3GAN" and "The Purge" falling under their banner.

The combination of these two titans is an exciting one, and "Strung" promises plenty of twists and turns, a final girl we can root for in Chloe Bailey, and a story of survival that will shock you to the core. If you're into films like "Suspiria" and "The Perfection", where music and thrills intersect, this will be right up your street.

If you're ready to be on the edge of your seat, here's how to watch "Strung" online, with the chance to watch for just $1, too.

How to watch 'Strung' for $1 in the U.S.

Watch 'Strung' from anywhere

Traveling and blocked from your usual apps? A VPN, or virtual private network, lets your device appear to be back in your home country, so you can securely use your existing subscriptions while you’re abroad.

We’ve tested many services, and the best VPN currently available is NordVPN. It offers fast, reliable connections, works on most devices, and you can try it risk-free for 30 days thanks to its money-back guarantee.

Using a VPN is simple:

1. Install the VPN of your choice (NordVPN is our favourite).

2. Choose the location you want in the VPN app. For example, pick a U.S. server to use Peacock as normal while overseas.

3. Open your streaming service and start watching.

Watch 'Strung' in the U.S.

"Strung" will be a Peacock exclusive in the U.S. so you'll need an active subscription to the streaming service if you want to watch the movie from June 26 onwards.

Hulu is a great streaming service for building your next weekend movie marathon. It regularly adds originals and classics to its library. Plus, because it's owned by Disney, it's the streaming home for new releases from several Disney-owned studios. It even has deals with some other studios to get in new releases before any other service, whether they're produced by Disney or not.

This weekend, I have three movies recently added to Hulu that are a must-watch. First up is the all-time classic, "Gladiator," which I could re-watch any given weekend. Then, this Saturday, Hulu is adding "The Creator," which is a visually stunning film, even if the story doesn't always work. Finally, you'll want to check out "Between the Temples," a highly-rated comedy-drama that's arriving on Hulu this Sunday.

Here are the three new to Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend. For more recommendations, check out the full list of everything new to Hulu in June 2026.

'Americana' (2025)

Genre: Crime thriller

What's it about? "Americana" stars Sydney Sweeney and Paul Walter Hauser as Penny and Lefty. These two attempt to snag a rare Native American ghost shirt, worth a lot on the black market. But they're not the only ones; Ghost Eye (Zahn McClarnon), the leader of a Native American group, wants the shirt as well.

Why you need to watch it: This movie isn't flawless, but if you like a gritty crime thriller, it's worth a watch for the performances. Halsey and McClarnon are particularly good, and "Americana" manages to nail its neo-Western vibes, even if the end result is slightly uneven.

Watch "Americana" on Hulu starting June 26

'Queens of the Dead' (2025)

Genre: Zombie comedy

What's it about? What happens when a zombie apocalypse breaks out in New York and invades a warehouse party filled with drag queens, clubgoers and more in Brooklyn? "Queens of the Dead" happens.

Why you need to watch it: Billed as a comedy, you might be able to handle "Queens of the Dead" even if you don't typically dabble in horror movies. Just know that it's still a zombie movie, and that means guns, guts and gore are still to be expected.

Watch "Queens of the Dead" on Hulu starting June 26

'The Creator' (2023)

Genre: Sci-fi action

What's it about? "The Creator" is set in a world where A.I. detonated a nuclear warhead in Los Angeles, causing devastation and sparking a war. 15 years later, the U.S. is still at war with New Asia over the fate of machines. But they're hoping for a breakthrough when they send special forces Sgt. Joshua Taylor (John David Washington) to take down "Nirmata," an A.I. expert who is key to the New Asian resistance.

Why you should watch it: This movie looks stunning. The story takes some twists and turns, and is frankly a bit dense when it could stand to be superficial, but it's worth checking out for the visuals alone. Thankfully, it has some must-watch action sequences as well.

The Fubo Pro plan (200+ channels) also comes with $25 off for the World Cup. After the trial you'll pay $63.99 per month.

Traveling outside the USA? You can watch Fubo from outside the U.S. with a VPN. Not all VPNs work with Fubo and we had trouble getting Nord to work, but Norton VPN works just fine.

How to watch Fubo from anywhere

Do you need a VPN to watch Fubo from abroad?

Yes – it's confirmed that a good VPN that connects you to a U.S. server is required to bypass the geo-restriction so Fubo thinks you’re back at home in the U.S.

"The Bear" has been one of the most consistent small screen offerings throughout the 2020s, with a new season dropping every summer and delivering high quality drama time and time again.

Here's how to watch "The Bear" season 5 from anywhere with a VPN and how to stream it from anywhere in the world, and potentially for FREE.

Season 5 of "The Bear" is set to pick up right where the last episode of season 4 left off, with Carmy waking up after selling his stake in the restaurant and deciding he's had enough of the food industry altogether. Can Sydney, Richie, Natalie and the rest of the crew regroup and achieve that elusive Michelin star they've been seeking?

There's more money troubles on the horizon, of course, and it's not inconceivable that the restaurant could be sold before the end of the show. That's not even to mention the crazy storm that's flooded the place. Given how much we love the team in "The Bear", hopefully they can work something out and get Carmy back on board quick.

"The Bear" is one of the biggest and best new shows to watch in June, and there are loads of options to catch the latest episodes.

So, pull up a chair and tuck in, this is how you can stream "The Bear" season 5 from anywhere in the world, including details of a couple of free routes to view.

Can you watch 'The Bear' season 5 for free?

There are a couple of options to watch "The Bear" season 5 for free.

All eight episodes of the new season will be added to Hulu on Friday, June 26. You could sign up for a free trial to Hulu and binge all the episodes before it expires.

Alternatively, you could sign up to a YouTube TV free trial and catch episodes weekly on FX. Once your trial expires, though, you'll have to pay to keep viewing.

Paramount+ is a great streaming service for building your next movie marathon. It adds dozens of movies to the platform each month; it added 93 new movies and shows in June alone. Many of these are beloved classics or more modern hits, but a few times a month, you even get brand-new movies from Paramount Skydance studios.

This week, I'm sticking with some more modern masterpieces. At the top of my list is "The Big Short," which is a movie I rewatch more than most others. Then, there's "The Manchurian Candidate," a 2004 remake of the 1962 political thriller classic, starring Denzel Washington. Finally, I'm keeping things in the thriller genre with "Witness," an incredible crime thriller starring Harrison Ford.

Here are the three new to Paramount+ movies that you need to be streaming this weekend. If you need more recommendations, check out our full guide to everything new on Paramount+ in June 2026.

'The Big Short' (2015)

Genre: Biographical comedy-drama

What's it about? Set around unpacking the causes of the 2008 financial crisis, "The Big Short" centers on three main groups, starting with Dr. Michael Burry (Christian Bale), who is first among the trio to short the housing market. Through Jared Vennett (Ryan Gosling), this news makes it to Mark Baum (Steve Carell) and his team, who then also start to short the mortgage sector. Finally, there's a duo of young investment bankers mentored by Ben Rickert (Brad Pitt), who also learn of the shorts and decide to join the fray. They all walk away rich while the U.S. economy collapses.

Why you should watch it: "The Big Short" is basically three incredible ensemble performances rolled into a single movie, and I love rewatching it, especially when I'm having writer's block. You probably won't watch it for that reason, but you definitely should still watch it.

'The Manchurian Candidate' (2004)

Genre: Neo-noir political thriller

What's it about? "The Manchurian Candidate" stars Denzel Washington as Maj. Bennett Marco. He commanded a unit in the Persian Gulf War that included Sgt. First Class Raymond Shaw (Liev Schreiber) and both of them were captured during a mission, but later escaped. Since the war, Shaw has gone on to become a member of Congress and is now on track to be the next Vice President of the U.S., but Marco starts to uncover a conspiracy regarding their time in Kuwait that could put Shaw's candidacy in jeopardy.

Why you should watch it: While the 1962 original is probably the better movie, this 2004 remake is still worth checking out. Besides Denzel and Schreiber, the cast list also includes Meryl Streep, Jon Voight, Jeffrey Wright and a few other familiar faces. It's worth watching for some of their performances alone.

'Witness' (1985)

Genre: Neo-noir crime thriller

What's it about? "Witness" stars Harrison Ford as Det. Cpt. John Book, a member of the Philadelphia Police Department. He's been tasked with protecting Samuel, a young Amish boy who witnessed the murder of an undercover cop, and it turns out the perpetrator is another officer. To keep him safe, Harrison returns with Samuel to Amish country, and the members of the community are less than thrilled to have an outsider among them.

Why you should watch it: This crime thriller was a hit with critics and at the box office. It scored eight Oscar nominations, including one for Ford's performance. It's a must-watch now that you can stream it on Paramount+.

Scottie Scheffler and Matt Fitzpatrick are off to a blazing start at the Travelers Championship, but they're still looking up at Eric Cole. He's yet to win on the PGA Tour, but at 6-under he holds the outright lead heading into Round 2. The 38-year-old lost a playoff to Russell Henley at the Charles Schwab Challenge before making the top 10 of the Memorial Tournament.

You can watch Travelers Championship 2026 live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

Eight of the world's top 10 golfers, including Cameron Young and newly-crowned two-time U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark, have made the short trip to TPC River Highlands for the Travelers Championship, the eighth and final Signature Event of the season.

It isn't just the proximity between Long Island and Cromwell that's tempted them in. The 2026 Travelers Championship is worth $20 million — $3.6 million of which is earmarked for the winner. And numerous players will fancy their chances of landing that top prize.

Take Scheffler, who won the 2024 edition of the tournament in a playoff as part of a run of three straight top-six finishes at TPC River Highlands. Other past winners in contention this weekend include Xander Schauffele (2022), Jordan Spieth (2017) and reigning champion Keegan Bradley, who's topped the charts at two of the past three editions of the event.

Tommy Fleetwood could and really should have triumphed here 12 months ago, having led by three strokes at the start of play on Sunday. However, he made three bogeys in the first four holes of his final round, and lost a further two strokes over his final three holes.

Below is a complete guide on where to watch 2026 Travelers Championship live streams, together with Round 2 tee times, U.S. broadcast schedules and international TV channels.

Happy Global Beatles Day! The legacy of Liverpool's iconic fab four continues to thrive, influencing pop culture more than 60 years since Beatlemania first swept the globe.

I can vividly recall my first encounter with The Beatles. In a friend's bedroom, she put the needle to the record, "She Loves Me" sang out, and we both bopped along happily to the tune. When I worked near Abbey Road studios in London, I watched many a tourist holding up traffic to imitate that famous album cover on the zebra crossing. I couldn't possibly comment on whether I may have recreated the pose too! Have you done it?

Whatever your favorite song by John, Paul, George and Ringo, I hope you find joy in this multiple choice Beatles music quiz and that you can take some time to celebrate today.

How did you do this time? Too hard? Too easy? Not enough Beatles song lyrics? Let us know in the comments below.

Netflix clearly knows that many of its subscribers love a good thriller movie. The genre often dominates Netflix’s top 10 most-watched list, and the big red streaming service regularly adds additional thriller movies to its library to keep subscribers on the edge of their seats.

This week is no exception, with the first wave of July content landing, there are thrillers aplenty to add to your watchlist. From an ambitious drama set across two periods, to an acclaimed flick from director David Fincher, which I’d label a real modern masterpiece. There’s also an overlooked crime thriller that explores the opioid crisis from multiple perspectives.

If you’re craving some new to Netflix thrillers this week, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve combed through the latest arrivals and picked out a handful that you won’t want to miss.

3 new to Netflix thrillers to watch this week

‘In the Hand of Dante’ (2026)

“In the Hand of Dante” is an ambitious dramatic thriller that tells an epic story, set across two time periods over a chunky 153-minute runtime. At its center is Oscar Isaac, who plays two roles: a New York author in the modern day and the famed Italian poet Dante Alighieri in the 14th century. Adding yet another wrinkle to the tapestry, the NYC scenes are presented in stark black-and-white, while the historical sequences are in full color.

Based on the novel by Nick Tosches, Isaac plays a fictional version of Tosches himself, who is recruited by the New York City mob to verify that a copy of Dante’s “The Divine Comedy” was written in the poet’s own hand, making it priceless. Interspersed with this crime odyssey are 14th-century sequences focused on Dante’s life. The movie also stars Gal Gadot, Gerard Butler, John Malkovich, Martin Scorsese, Al Pacino and Jason Momoa.

'Gone Girl' (2014)

“Gone Girl” isn’t just one of the best mystery thrillers of the 2010s but one of the genre’s very best, period. Based on Gillian Flynn’s best-selling novel and directed by David Fincher, who is something of a thriller mastermind, having also helmed ‘90s classics “Seven” and “Fight Club,” it’s gripping from the start with a real sense of momentum and a mid-movie twist that will leave your jaw on the floor. “Gone Girl” is the modern thriller others must measure up to, and one of my favorite movies of the 21st century.

On the day of their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) returns home to find that his wife, Amy (Rosamund Pike), is missing. What follows is a police investigation to find Amy, which quickly becomes national news. But while the media is initially sympathetic to Nick’s plight, as Amy’s absence continues without a culprit identified, the lens shifts to Nick, and he becomes the prime suspect. Did Nick kill "Amazing" Amy?

Watch "Gone Girl" on Netflix starting July 1

‘Crisis’ (2021)

“Crisis” was a movie that came and went upon release, making little impression on critics or audiences. That’s a tad surprising when you consider its stacked cast list with Gary Oldman, Evangeline Lilly, Greg Kinnear, Michelle Rodriguez, Luke Evans and Lily-Rose Depp. It also features Armie Hammer, though the inclusion of the controversial actor may not have helped its marketability. Anyway, with this crime thriller flick hitting Netflix at the start of July, perhaps it’ll find the wider viewership that it didn’t manage to score in theaters half a decade ago.

Based around the Fentanyl crisis, it explores multiple perspectives, including the leader of a criminal operation, a mother battling addiction while also hunting for answers about her missing son, a researcher working for a pharmaceutical company launching a new drug, and more POVs. “Crisis” uses the opioid epidemic as the backdrop to explore several complex characters. Their stories eventually collide in unexpected ways.

I'm the type of person who takes advantage of free trials and then forgets to cancel them. Then, with every new charge, I try to figure out how to cancel them and then wonder if I should keep them. It's a vicious cycle that I'm not proud of — most of all, it's a waste of money.

If you're like me, you know that between streaming services, cloud storage plans, AI subscriptions, fitness apps and a slew of digital memberships, it's surprisingly easy to lose track of what you're paying for each month.

I recently decided to audit my own subscriptions and instead of manually sorting through everything, I used ChatGPT as a personal financial assistant. It was much faster than I anticipated and I finally got a better picture of every subscription. When I added everything together, I discovered I was spending nearly $166 per month on subscriptions, or almost $2,000 per year.

Here's exactly how I used ChatGPT to do it.

Step 1: Gather all of your subscriptions

If you're like me, you have subscriptions connected to Amazon such as Amazon Music and Audible, as well as Amazon subscriptions like automatic reorder. At the same time, I also have subscriptions tied to Apple such as LinkedIn, Apple+, other streaming services and app subscriptions. Plus, we can't forget about other memberships and subscriptions through Google or that are completely seperate.

Pulling together all your subscriptions from multiple places is a challenge in itself. I have an iPhone so I started by going to: iPhone: Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. From there I checked Google Play subscriptions, Amazon memberships and digital services, credit card statements, PayPal recurring payments and even bank statements.

I had almost no extra time to gather all these screenshots — which may explain why I'd let these subscriptions continue for so long. By collecting the screenshots over several days and saving them in ChatGPT Projects until I was ready to act, the process felt much more manageable.

For every subscription, take screenshots. Mine included: Apple One, Amazon Prime, Audible, Kindle Unlimited, Peacock (just upgraded for the World Cup), Google One, ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro and Meta.

Step 2: Paste everything into ChatGPT

Once you have a complete list, use a prompt like this: "I want to reduce my monthly subscription spending. Here is a list of all my subscriptions and their monthly costs: [paste list here]. Calculate my monthly and annual spending by identifying any overlapping services, flag subscriptions I may not be fully using, categorize each as Keep, Investigate or Cancel, estimate how much I could save annually and explain your reasoning for each recommendation"

ChatGPT will quickly organize everything into a readable audit. And, if you have Memory enabled, Dreaming will actually help put the pieces together to determine if those are subscriptions you truly need.

Step 3: Look for overlaps

This is where the biggest savings often hide. For example, paying for both Apple One and Google One storage or subscribing to Audible plus Kindle Unlimited. Multiple streaming services that aren't being fully utilized or having several AI subscriptions serving similar purposes will all be flagged.

In my case, ChatGPT immediately flagged a few subscriptions worth investigating because they provided similar benefits.

That doesn't automatically mean cancel them, but it does reveal where you're possibly paying twice for convenience.

Step 4: Ask ChatGPT tough questions

The real value comes from follow-up questions. Try prompts like:

"Which of these subscriptions would I miss the least?"

"If I canceled three subscriptions today, which would save the most money while creating the smallest impact?"

"Which subscriptions provide the lowest value per dollar?"

"Help me build a plan to reduce my spending by $25 per month."

I also took advantage of ChatGPT Tasks and set a reminder for ChatGPT to cancel trial subscriptions that had already started.

Step 5: Check your free trials

Speaking of free trials, one surprise from my audit was finding services that had started as trials and quietly became recurring expenses.

Try this prompt: "Based on my subscription list, which services are most commonly forgotten or underused?"

"What questions should I ask myself before renewing each one?"

ChatGPT can help you evaluate whether you're paying out of habit or because you genuinely use the service.

What surprised me most

Honestly, the total. Individually, most subscriptions felt small. Ten dollars here. Fifteen dollars there. Twenty dollars for an AI service I use every day. But when everything was combined, the total approached $2,000 per year.

That's enough to fund a vacation, boost retirement contributions or build an emergency fund. Taking the time to have ChatGPT solve my subscription crisis was a game changer. A simple ChatGPT conversation turned into a financial audit for my family by helping me identify recurring charges, spot overlaps and decide what stays and what goes. I should have done it sooner and plan on doing it every few months or so.

Listen, things are tough enough out there, and sometimes we don't want to watch TV that feels like hard work. We want to watch a show that feels like a good hug or a fun hangout with friends, low in stakes and stress but high in comfort and, ideally, comedy.

While HBO and its streaming platform HBO Max are home to some of television's most intense prestige dramas, from "The Sopranos" to "Game of Thrones" to "Succession," the network also has given us softer, sweeter titles that are pure feel-good TV. And we've made things super easy for you by choosing three of the Home Box Office's best feel-good shows, from a recently departed awards juggernaut to a small-town charmer starring Bridget Everett.

Consider this your guide to HBO when you want comfort over carnage.

'Somebody Somewhere'

If you want a feel-good show that will help you fight off any Sunday Scaries, this is the one: In "Somebody Somewhere," comedienne-slash-cabaret star Bridget Everett is equal parts hilarious and heartwarming as Sam Miller, a fortysomething loner who returned to her hometown of Manhattan, Kansas to care for her dying sister and now is trying to rebuild her life after that profound loss. (It's way funnier than it all sounds, we promise!)

It's through Sam's dormant love of full-throated karaoke that she finds connection and community with the local townsfolk, including her coworker Joel (Jeff Hiller, in an Emmy-winning supporting performance), a soil scientist named Fred Rococo (the always-welcome Murray Hill) and her own sister, boutique owner Tricia (Mary Catherine Garrison). Across three tender, slice-of-life seasons, Sam gets the uplifting boost she's been needing, and we get a new dream friend group to hang out with over French toast for the table.

'Starstruck'

Is there a more inherently feel-good genre than the rom-com? And there's romance and comedy in spades in "Starstruck," a screwball British comedy that originally aired for three seasons on BBC Three from April 2021 to August 2023. The first season has a perfect 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Series creator Rose Matafeo stars as Jessie, a twentysomething New Zealander living and working as a nanny in East London. Her average existence, however, takes a turn when she has a New Year's Eve one-night stand with Tom Kapoor (Nikesh Patel), who just happens to be a very famous movie star. That unexpected encounter evolves into a "will-they-won't-they" relationship over the course of several years, with both characters trying to move on with other people, only to continuously find their way back to each other.

'Hacks'

Now, we're not happy that "Hacks" ended after five delightful seasons this spring, but we are glad that Deborah (Jean Smart), Ava (Hannah Einbinder), Jimmy (Paul W. Downs), Kayla (Meg Statler) and the rest of our beloved Vegas crew all got their respective versions of happily ever after. (Though no spoilers here!)

For half a decade, the Emmy-winning HBO Max comedy followed the hilarious hijinks and professional ambitions of Joan Rivers-esque stand-up legend Deborah Vance and her Gen Z comedy writer Ava Daniels, from Las Vegas casinos to late-night TV. But somewhere along the way, "Hacks" transitioned from a funny workplace comedy and sharp entertainment-industry satire into a nuanced, moving celebration of female friendship in all of its messiness and loveliness.

Summer is hitting full stride, but Apple TV is making a strong case for spending time on the couch. The streamer’s July 2026 lineup mixes prestige sci-fi, returning favorites and feel-good movies that could easily fill a weekend watchlist.

Leading the charge is season 3 of "Silo," which continues peeling back the mysteries of its underground world while diving deeper into the story's distant past. Also returning is "Trying" for season 5, which once again proves that few shows do warmth and charm quite like this one. The crime thriller "Lucky" debuts with Anya Taylor-Joy as a con artist on the run. Plus, there's a pickleball comedy "The Dink" and the animated special "Snoopy Presents: There's No Place Like Home, Snoopy."

Here's everything coming to Apple TV in July 2026.

'Silo' season 3

After two seasons of rationing answers like they're contraband, "Silo" is finally ready to crack open some of its biggest mysteries. Season 3 picks up with Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson) alive but suffering from amnesia, which is about as inconvenient as it sounds when you're trying to save a society built on secrets. The new season also travels back to the Before Times, chronicling the events that sent humanity underground in the first place. At long last, the bunker origin story is coming into focus.

Watch "Silo" season 3 on Apple TV starting July 3

'Trying' season 5

One of TV’s most reliable comfort watches returns, but don’t expect Nikki( Esther Smith) and Jason's (Rafe Spall) hard-won domestic bliss to stay blissful for long. Season 5 picks up after Kat, the biological mother of Princess and Tyler, lands on their doorstep, bringing a fresh wave of complications to the family they’ve worked so hard to build. Equal parts funny, messy and genuinely moving, "Trying" is proof that feel-good doesn’t have to mean conflict-free.

Watch "Trying" season 5 on Apple TV starting July 8

'Lucky'

Anya Taylor-Joy trades dunes and mushroom kingdoms for cons and family trauma in this sleek crime thriller miniseries based on Marissa Stapley’s bestselling novel. She plays a reformed grifter forced back into the criminal life when a multimillion-dollar heist goes wrong. Timothy Olyphant is her outlaw father, Annette Bening wields danger as a mob leader, and there are enough double-crosses to fill a getaway car.

Watch "Lucky" on Apple TV starting July 15

'The Dink'

For most people, pickleball is a fun, not-too-strenuous activity. For washed-up tennis prodigy Dusty Boyd (Jake Johnson), it's a humiliating detour. In this sports comedy movie, he’s stuck coaching unruly kids at his father Chuck’s (Ed Harris) country club, where approval is harder to earn than a trophy. An injury sidelines him, forcing him into pickleball rehab against his will ... until he starts to enjoy it alongside doubles partner Candace (Mary Steenburgen). With Andy Roddick, Dusty’s identity crisis gets competitive.

Watch "The Dink" on Apple TV starting July 24

'Snoopy Presents: There’s No Place Like Home, Snoopy'

In the 53rd Peanuts special, Snoopy’s iconic doghouse gets accidentally sold at a yard sale, and the world’s most imaginative beagle is understandably devastated. After all, it’s his creative HQ, his memory palace, his everything. Snoopy (voiced by Terry McGurrin) sets out to cope with the loss, with help from a new slate of kids.

Summer movies aren’t defined by when they’re released, but by how they feel. Over the past decade, filmmakers have delivered plenty of films that capture the energy of summer. From coming-of-age stories and road trips to holidays, these films capture the many sides of summer on screen.

Now that we have just entered the very hot season, it’s the perfect time to lean into films that match this time of year. Not everyone will be staying in to watch movies in the heat, but for those who enjoy a warm evening watch, these summer-set stories really hit differently in the middle of the season.

Here, we’re ranking the 10 best summer movies of the decade that capture the feeling of summer in different ways.

10. ‘In the Heights’ (2021)

While it sits at the bottom of this incredibly competitive list, Jon M. Chu’s adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical is a massive feat of joy. “In the Heights” is an explosion of color, community, and seriously impressive choreography. The technical ambition of the musical numbers (especially the dancing on the side of an apartment building and the public pool sequence) makes it a blast to watch.

Usnavi (Anthony Ramos) is a bodega owner who dreams of returning to the Dominican Republic while navigating life in his close-knit neighbourhood. Over the course of a few summer days, the story follows him and those around him as they balance work and relationships. These include Nina (Leslie Grace) returning home from college with uncertain plans for the future, Vanessa (Melissa Barrera) pursuing a career in fashion, and Benny working at a local taxi dispatch company.

9. ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ (2017)

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” is arguably the best of the live-action MCU “Spider-Man” films (so far) precisely because it refuses to be an apocalyptic superhero epic. Instead, it is a John Hughes-style high school movie that just happens to have web-swinging. Tom Holland essentially plays the frantic energy of a kid just waiting for summer break. Plus, as a fun fact, the film’s working title during production was reportedly “The Summer of George.”

After helping the Avengers in Germany, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) returns to Queens and tries to manage high school life and duties as Spider-Man. Eager to prove himself worthy of becoming a full-fledged Avenger, he spends his time stopping small-time crimes while keeping his superhero identity a secret from most of his classmates. When he discovers a group of criminals selling advanced weapons created from alien technology, Peter begins investigating despite warnings from his mentor, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.).

Watch on Disney+

8. ‘Booksmart’ (2019)

Olivia Wilde’s directorial debut is one of the funniest high school comedies ever made. At the absolute core of the movie is a refreshing plot centered around female best friendship. Instead of the typical teen-movie drama involving jealousy or competing over love interests, the two leads share a fiercely supportive bond. Their platonic chemistry and hilarious banter give the entire movie its warmth and emotional heartbeat.

On the eve of their high school graduation, best friends Molly (Beanie Feldstein) and Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) realize that many of their classmates managed to get into top colleges while still enjoying a social life. Determined not to leave high school with regrets, the pair set out to attend a huge graduation party and fit four years of missed experiences into one unforgettable night. Their plans quickly turn into chaos as they attend multiple parties and have some awkward run-ins with classmates.

7. ‘Challengers’ (2024)

“Challengers” was a huge hit when it first came out, and it only felt like yesterday when this sports drama blew up. I think we can all agree this intense film operates on pure cinematic adrenaline, thanks to its framing of the tennis court as a psychological battleground where ambition and manipulation completely collide. It channels the heavy July humidity and turns it into a sweaty, high-energy experience driven by loud club music and constant friction between the characters.

Tashi Duncan (Zendaya) is a former tennis prodigy whose playing career is cut short by an injury. Years later, she is coaching her husband, Art Donaldson (Mike Faist), a successful professional player who has fallen into a losing streak. Hoping to rebuild his confidence, Tashi enters him into a lower-level Challenger tournament, where he unexpectedly comes face-to-face with Patrick Zweig (Josh O'Connor), his former best friend and Tashi’s ex-boyfriend.

Watch on Tubi

6. ‘Midsommar’ (2019)

Being a huge horror fan, I had to include “Midsommar.” It’s not your typical summer movie, given that it’s not a mood-booster and doesn’t make you feel good, but it’s an impressive film, because most of the horror takes place in broad daylight. Directed by Ari Aster, this film pulled off a revolutionary feat in modern horror by actively weaponizing the aesthetic of a beautiful paradise. The ending is a massive emotional purge that will probably leave you on edge, but it’s a truly gripping watch.

After a devastating family tragedy, Dani (Florence Pugh) joins her boyfriend Christian (Jack Reynor) and his friends on a trip to a remote village in Sweden for a once-in-a-lifetime midsummer festival. Invited by their friend Pelle (Vilhelm Blomgren), the group arrives expecting a relaxing cultural retreat filled with traditional celebrations and local customs. However, as the festival unfolds over several days, they begin witnessing increasingly unusual rituals and unsettling practices carried out by the isolated community.

Watch on HBO Max

5. ‘Luca’ (2021)

It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t include a charming animated flick, and “Luca” is the perfect little summer movie. This is the cinematic equivalent of a refreshing scoop of gelato on a scorching afternoon. While the core narrative tracks a simple summer friendship, the film has earned enduring praise for its deeper meaning about acceptance. It’s a soft and heartwarming escape that focuses on simple, nostalgic childhood moments instead of any big drama.

Set on the Italian Riviera, “Luca” follows a young sea monster named Luca Paguro (Jacob Tremblay) who becomes fascinated by the world above the ocean's surface. After befriending another sea monster, Alberto (Jack Dylan Grazer), he discovers they can take human form when they are dry and begins exploring the nearby seaside town of Portorosso. There, they meet a girl named Giulia (Emma Berman) and set their sights on winning the town's annual triathlon to earn enough money to buy a Vespa scooter.

Watch on Disney+

4. ‘Palm Springs’ (2020)

Something a little different is the romantic sci-fi comedy “Palm Springs,” which premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, where it broke the historical record for the highest sale in the festival’s history after selling to Neon and Hulu. It also went on to win Best Comedy at the Critics’ Choice Awards and earned multiple Golden Globe nominations. It effectively takes a time-travel formula that audiences thought had been played out and turns it into an endlessly rewatchable classic about the courage it takes to break out of daily loops.

Nyles (Andy Samberg) is a laid-back wedding guest attending a celebration in the California desert. During the festivities, he forms a connection with Sarah (Cristin Milioti), the bride’s older sister and maid of honor. After a strange incident in the desert, Sarah discovers she is trapped in a time loop, reliving the same wedding day over and over again alongside Nyles. As they repeatedly experience the events of the day, they spend their time exploring different possibilities and trying to understand the unusual situation they find themselves in.

Watch on Hulu

3. ‘Barbie’ (2023)

There’s always room on these best summer movie lists for the absolute global cultural phenomenon, “Barbie.” It was the highest-grossing film of 2023 at $1.44 billion worldwide and secured eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. I don’t really need to explain why this is a great summer flick, given how vibrant and fun the movie is. It’s a rare studio blockbuster that manages to be incredibly funny, beautifully nostalgic, and deeply philosophical all at once.

“Barbie” follows Stereotypical Barbie (Margot Robbie), who lives a seemingly perfect life in Barbieland alongside countless other Barbies and Kens. When she begins experiencing unusual changes in herself, she sets off on a journey to the real world in search of answers. Ken (Ryan Gosling) joins her, and together they arrive in Los Angeles, where they attract the attention of executives from Mattel. With help from Gloria and her daughter, Barbie must decide what comes next.

Watch on HBO Max

2. ‘Call Me by Your Name’ (2017)

Timothée Chalamet initially laid the groundwork for his career with a memorable stint on the television drama “Homeland.” However, his true breakthrough came when he channeled a deeply vulnerable energy into the role of Elio Perlman in Luca Guadagnino’s 2017 romantic drama “Call Me by Your Name.” The Best Picture-nominated film functions as a beautifully lush, sun-drenched summer escape, with Chalamet giving one of his best-ever performances.

Set in northern Italy in 1983, “Call Me by Your Name” follows 17-year-old Elio Perlman (Timothée Chalamet), who spends the summer at his family’s villa with his parents. His father, a professor, invites a graduate student, Oliver (Armie Hammer), to stay and assist with research. As Oliver settles into the household, Elio and Oliver spend their days exploring nearby towns, reading, swimming, and accompanying Elio’s friends on outings. Over time, the two grow increasingly close during their daily routines together.

Watch on Peacock

1. ‘Aftersun’ (2022)

Topping this list is the emotional drama “Aftersun,” one of the most overlooked films of the past five years, despite earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. It’s a deeply moving independent drama written and directed by Scottish filmmaker Charlotte Wells, which almost functions as a poetic psychological puzzle. The story switches between a blissful summer vacation at a faded Turkish resort in the late 1990s and the present day, but it’s the relationship between father and daughter that makes it so memorable.

Sophie (Celia Rowlson Hall) looks back on a holiday she took as a child (Frankie Corio) with her father, Calum (Paul Mescal), at a resort in Turkey. As an adult, she reviews old camcorder recordings and photographs from the trip. The story alternates between Sophie’s memories of the holiday, where she spends time swimming, exploring the resort, attending activities, and observing her father as he tries to make the trip enjoyable. She also pieces together fragments of that period while reflecting on her last days with him and what followed.

Netflix viewers clearly can’t get enough of “Voicemails for Isabelle.” The romantic comedy has shot straight to the streamer's No. 1 movie spot since its release, and that’s most likely down to its comforting premise that feels refreshingly modern.

"Voicemails for Isabelle" follows a young woman who leaves deeply personal voicemails for her late sister, unaware that the phone number has been reassigned to a stranger, who becomes captivated by the voice behind the messages.

If that setup sounds a little like “You’ve Got Mail,” you're not imagining it. “Voicemails for Isabelle” puts its own spin on the classic mistaken-connection rom-com formula while including plenty of emotional twists along the way. So, if you've already finished Netflix's latest chart-topper and are looking for something with a similar mix of romance and longing, these five movies should be at the top of your watchlist.

‘Love Again’ (2023)

To say “Love Again” and “Voicemails for Isabelle” have the exact same premise would be an understatement. When you read the synopsis, you’ll be surprised at how similar they actually are. “Love Again” is actually an English-language remake of the highly successful 2016 German box office hit, which was itself based on a popular romance novel by Sofie Cramer. It feels like an unabashed, highly earnest love letter to the whimsical, “destiny” romances of the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Mira Ray (Priyanka Chopra) is a children’s book author struggling after the death of her fiancé, John (Arinze Kene). To cope, she continues sending heartfelt text messages to his old phone number, unaware it has been reassigned to journalist Rob Burns (Sam Heughan). Intrigued by the messages, Rob becomes determined to find the woman behind them while working on a profile of singer Celine Dion. When Mira and Rob eventually meet, they form a close connection, but Rob keeps the truth about the texts secret.

Stream on Hulu/Disney+

‘You’ve Got Mail’ (1998)

Of course, I had to include “You’ve Got Mail” considering “Voicemails for Isabelle” was clearly inspired by this classic. It holds a treasured spot in pop culture history, standing as the third and final legendary screen pairing of Hollywood’s ultimate romantic duo, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. While separated by nearly three decades of technology, both films are built entirely around the exact same core narrative engine and romantic tropes. Most notably, being unaware of the other person’s identity.

Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) is the owner of a beloved independent children’s bookstore in New York City, and Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) is an executive whose family-owned bookstore chain opens a massive new location that threatens her business. Unaware of each other’s real identities, the two strike up a connection through anonymous email exchanges after meeting online. While they become increasingly close as digital pen pals, they clash repeatedly in person as professional rivals. Soon, Joe begins to see her differently as Kathleen struggles to keep her bookstore afloat.

‘Set It Up’ (2018)

If you enjoyed Zoey Deutch’s performance in “Voicemails for Isabelle,” you’ll likely enjoy her strong performance in “Set It Up,” another Netflix romance movie. The film’s sweeping success is anchored by the undeniable screen chemistry of its two leads, Deutch and Glen Powell. “Set It Up” is the ultimate, modern feel-good comfort movie that successfully proves that when a romantic comedy is backed by a brilliant screenplay and unmatched lead chemistry, it can be just as satisfying, clever, and endlessly rewatchable as the classics.

Harper Moore (Zoey Deutch) and Charlie Young (Glen Powell) are two overworked assistants in New York City who are exhausted by the endless demands of their powerful bosses. After bonding over their shared frustrations, they come up with a plan: trick their bosses, Kirsten Stevens (Lucy Liu) and Rick Otis (Taye Diggs), into dating each other so they’ll have more free time. As they orchestrate a series of chance encounters and romantic situations, the scheme appears to work. However, keeping their bosses together proves more complicated than expected.

Stream on Netflix

‘Upgraded’ (2024)

Those wanting a brighter contemporary romantic comedy should stream “Upgraded” next. While the movie satisfies every core requirement of a traditional romance, I like that it prioritizes the protagonist’s career aspirations, since the story treats her passion for the business of fine art with absolute seriousness, making her professional self-discovery just as rewarding as her pursuit of love. It’s an immensely fun comfort watch that acts as a throwback to the glossy studio rom-coms of the 2000s.

Ana Santos (Camila Mendes) is an ambitious but overlooked intern working at a prestigious New York art auction house. When she is unexpectedly upgraded to first class on a business trip to London, she meets the charming and wealthy William (Archie Renaux). After a misunderstanding leads William to believe Ana is a high-ranking executive rather than an intern, she goes along with the mistake. The more Ana becomes immersed in London’s elite art world, the closer she grows to William and his family. Now, she must juggle professional opportunities and the consequences of maintaining a lie.

Stream on Prime Video

‘The Other Zoey’ (2023)

Last on this list is “The Other Zoey,” a charming, self-aware romantic comedy that centers its narrative engine on a sudden medical mishap that leads a prominent family to mistake a college student for someone else entirely. It ends up being a genuinely clever, breezy, and thoroughly entertaining watch, despite it following every single trope in the romance playbook. But despite how familiar it looks and feels, it clearly resonated with audiences, earning a solid score of 87% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Zoey Miller (Josephine Langford) is a brilliant college student who prefers logic over romance. Her life takes an unexpected turn when Zach (Drew Starkey), the university’s popular soccer star, suffers a concussion and develops temporary amnesia. Mistaking Zoey for his girlfriend, who also happens to be named Zoey, Zach draws her into his family’s world. Unsure how to correct the misunderstanding, she goes along with it and soon meets Zach’s cousin, Miles (Archie Renaux), with whom she shares an instant connection. The confusion grows and Zoey becomes caught between two very different relationships.

‘Every Year After’

Since it’s now officially summer, there’s no better time to stream a sun-soaked series. “Every Year After” might not have reached the same level of success as “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” but it still delivers plenty of yearning and drama to keep fans of the genre satisfied. The series is a direct adaptation of Carley Fortune’s bestselling 2022 debut romance novel, “Every Summer After.” Like the book, the show uses a dual-timeline narrative to tell a story of first love, devastating heartbreak, and second chances.

Percy Fraser (Sadie Soverall) returns to the lakeside town of Barry’s Bay after spending a decade away, forcing her to confront a chapter of her life she thought was long behind her. The series follows Percy and Sam Florek (Matt Cornett) across two timelines, beginning with their childhood friendship and tracing how their relationship evolves over six unforgettable summers. With each episode shifting between then and now, the story reveals the events that changed the course of their lives forever.

‘Spider-Noir’

“Spider-Noir” is a live-action superhero crime series that adapts the gritty, Great Depression-era Marvel Noir comic line into a stylized piece of TV. The monumental draw of the show is Nicolas Cage, who steps in to play the titular character. While Cage famously voiced a version of Spider-Man Noir in the animated “Into the Spider-Verse” movie, the creative team has explicitly stated that this show is not a continuation of that film. Instead, it is a completely self-contained, standalone universe.

Ben Reilly (Nicolas Cage) is a down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York. Once known as the city’s only masked hero, Ben has long left that life behind and now spends his days taking routine cases while trying to stay out of trouble. But when a high-profile investigation pulls him into a dangerous network of criminals and corruption, he finds himself drawn back into the world he thought he had escaped. Now, Ben must rely on both his detective instincts and the abilities that once made him a legend.

‘Clarkson’s Farm’

While “Clarkson’s Farm” is a deeply British series rooted in the countryside of Oxfordshire, it has built a significant audience in the U.S., as shown by its regular presence in Prime Video’s top 10. That success is likely driven by the decades-long popularity of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, who built a large American fanbase through “Top Gear” and “The Grand Tour.” The arrival of the new season also adds to the show’s buzz, which stands as an incredibly honest, beautifully shot, and deeply moving tribute to farming life.

In this new season, Jeremy Clarkson and the Diddly Squat team go through another unpredictable year on the farm. After a major health scare leaves Jeremy under strict instructions to take things easier, he looks for new ways to keep the farm running, including investing in high-tech equipment and expanding operations. Meanwhile, Kaleb Cooper, Lisa Hogan, Charlie Ireland, and the rest of the team face everything from troublesome livestock and difficult harvests to challenges at Jeremy’s pub, The Farmer’s Dog.

If you love a good crime story but want your case-of-the-week serials punched up with more psychological danger and emotional depth, then you've gotta go for a crime thriller show. And BritBox — the streaming service created by the BBC and ITV, designed specifically for fans of British television — is packed with them, from harrowing serial killer stories to tense cat-and-mouse mysteries.

But the sheer size of that streaming library makes it hard to track down a high-quality show, even when sorting by a single genre like crime thriller. So Tom's Guide is here to help. We've done the dirty work for you and narrowed your choices down to three of the best crime thriller shows streaming now on BritBox. Consider your next weekend binge sorted!

'Happy Valley'

He'll next be seen in the new season of "House of the Dragon" as Lord Ormund Hightower, but a decade ago, James Norton was better known for playing bleach-blonde criminal Tommy Lee Royce in "Happy Valley," a hard-hitting thriller that originally aired for three seasons on BBC One from April 2014 to January 2023.

With serial rapist, drug offender and eventual murderer Royce as the main antagonist, the Sally Wainwright-created drama follows the police career of no-nonsense police sergeant Catherine Cawood (Sarah Lancashire), whose life and work are upended when Royce — whom she blames for her own daughter's death years earlier — is released from prison.

'Irvine Welsh's Crime'

In this intense adaptation of Irvine Welsh's 2008 novel of the same name, Dougray Scott stars in an Emmy- and BAFTA-winning role as Ray Lennox, a detective in the Edinburgh police force who is forced to balance battling his own personal demons (including drug addiction and childhood trauma) with hunting a serial killer in gritty, urban Scotland.

Anita Singh in The Daily Telegraph praised Scott's "incendiary" lead performance ("Scott delivers every line with a burning intensity yet manages at the same time to convey the character’s emotional fragility, and the toll that his job is taking," she wrote), as well as the "great" supporting cast, which includes Joanna Vanderham, Jamie Sives, Michael Abubakar, Gordon Kennedy, Angela Griffin and Ken Stott, among others.

'River'

In this 2015 British procedural, two-time Golden Globe winner Stellan Skarsgård stars as Detective Inspector John River, a brilliant but brooding Swedish-born police officer who is traumatized by visions of his recently murdered work partner, Detective Sergeant Jackie "Stevie" Stevenson (Nicola Walker). The titular investigator is stuck psychologically between the living and the dead, interacting with Stevie's "ghost" as he works to solve her case.

Across six hourlong episodes, the gripping thriller becomes "more than just crime drama," wrote Sam Wollaston in The Guardian: "It's about personal tragedy, demons; it's a study of loss and grief (which it shares with the greatest Nordic noir of them all: the first series of 'The Killing'). It's also a study of that — killing — and why people do it."

• Netflix's new crime thriller show is the streaming service's answer to 'Slow Horses' — and I literally couldn't stop watching
• 3 new to Prime Video thriller movies to stream this week — one of them is a classic masterpiece ranked among the best films ever made

In the wake of critical and commercial hits like “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Hit Man,” "Anybody but You," and “Twisters,” Glen Powell appeared on a one-stop route to superstardom. But in recent months, his coronation as a certified A-lister has hit something of a snag following the largely lukewarm response to Edgar Wright’s “The Running Man” and the very tepid box office returns of his new thriller movie, “How to Make Killing.”

This movie, inspired by a 1949 British film, "Kind Hearts and Coronets,” hit the big screen back in March, where it met with a shrug of the shoulders (It grossed a weak $21 million against a $15 million budget). But in today’s movie landscape, a film’s streaming debut represents a second chance to make an impression, and with “How to Make a Killing” having just been added to HBO Max, Powell’s latest movie could earn its own redemption.

As somebody who did catch this one when it was in theaters, I’m here to give you the lowdown on this new thriller that’s infused with plenty of dark humor. Just be warned, while Powell's presence is as magnetic as ever, the movie that houses his performance is more of a mixed bag.

What is ‘How to Make a Killing’ about?

Opening with Becket Redfellow (Glen Powell) on death row, “How to Make a Killing” flashes back to explain how this former suit shop worker ended up in prison for murder.

Raised by a single mother, Becket is actually the illegitimate grandson of a wealthy tycoon (Ed Harris). His mom was disowned by her family after becoming pregnant in her teenage years, and on her deathbed, she told Becket that he should fight for the inheritance he “deserves.”

Due to a legal loophole, Becket stands to inherit his grandfather’s huge estate, but only if he’s the last remaining heir to the Redfellow fortune. To ensure the money comes his way, Becket sets about murdering his estranged relative and staging each death as an unfortunate accident.

Glen Powell is the reason to watch ‘How to Make a Killing’ on HBO Max

The reason to watch this thriller is in big letters on the poster: Glen Powell. The actor is the livewire that keeps this thriller engaging, and his performance is similar to the fantastic effort he delivered in 2023’s “Hit Man.” Becket is all charm and wide smiles, while he meticulously schemes to murder his arrogant and largely unlikeable relatives. His methods are obviously immoral, but you can’t help but root for Becket’s success.

Powell is clearly aware of what kind of movies he’s starring in and manages to bridge the movie’s mixed bag of tones, which leaps between satirical swipes at society’s elite and almost a screwball comedy, as Becket, for all his best efforts, is by no means a seasoned professional killer. I have a lot of problems with this movie, but at least Glen Powell is not one of them.

It’s when you look beyond Powell’s charismatic performance that “How to Make a Killing” starts to stumble. Margaret Qualley appears in a supporting role as Becket’s childhood friend, who gets entangled in the scheme and is more cunning than she first appears. This character, named Julia, is poorly written and sketched out, and is central to many of the narrative issues.

Maybe “How to Make a Killing” was the victim of poor release timing, hitting cinemas in the wake of last year’s “No Other Choice,” which sees a desperate man resort to murdering his competition for a prestigious job. Park Chan-wook’s comedy-thriller handles similar material with infinitely more skill and weaves its social commentary within its compelling plot.

When “How to Make a Killing” was in theaters, it wasn’t a movie I recommended anybody rush out to see (nor fork over movie theater ticket prices), but now that it’s on streaming, the barrier to entry has dropped considerably. Powell's performance just about makes a viewing worthwhile, even if his efforts can only go so far in exonerating the thriller’s other issues.

For more fresh additions to HBO Max this month, here’s a full guide to everything new added to the streaming service in June 2026.

• New on HBO Max in June 2026
• HBO Max is 40% off ahead of Prime Day
• HBO Max just added one of the best movies of 2026

We're nearing the end of another month, which means it's almost time to say goodbye to a batch of movies. But it's also an exciting time for summer lovers because the season is now officially underway. Sure, 2026 seems to be flying by, but at least the longer days and sunshine bring some good vibes. Before you head outside to enjoy the warmer weather, though, Prime Video is about to lose a handful of great movies, so it's worth adding them to your watchlist now.

With June coming to a close next week, Prime Video is preparing to remove several movies from its library, including a tense thriller and an Oscar-winning masterpiece. To help you make the most of your subscription, we've picked out the best films worth streaming before they're gone.

‘Last Breath’ (2025)

If you’re in the mood for a seriously intense thriller, “Last Breath” should be at the top of your watchlist. It’s actually based on an incredible true story and functions as a claustrophobic chamber piece, tracking a desperate, real-time rescue mission unfolding hundreds of feet below the ocean’s surface. The film is inspired by seemingly impossible events that took place in the freezing darkness of the North Sea in September 2012.

“Last Breath” follows a team of saturation divers working on pipelines deep beneath the North Sea. During a routine repair mission, a technical failure causes their support vessel to drift off course, leaving diver Chris Lemons (Finn Cole) stranded on the seabed hundreds of feet below the surface. Cut off from his oxygen supply and communication systems, Chris faces impossible odds as his crewmates and the ship's crew race against time to bring him home.

Watch "Last Breath" on Prime Video until June 25

‘Sinners’ (2025)

My favorite movie of 2025 was undoubtedly “Sinners,” the masterful vampire horror film from Ryan Coogler, which won four Academy Awards out of a historic 16 nominations. So I was surprised to see it leaving Prime Video this month. “Sinners” represents Coogler's first entirely original, non-franchise studio blockbuster. The film was a massive critical and commercial powerhouse, grossing over $370 million worldwide, and remains a pulse-pounding masterpiece that stands tall as one of the definitive cinematic achievements of the decade.

Set in 1932 Mississippi, twin brothers Smoke and Stack Moore (Michael B. Jordan) return to their hometown after years working for Chicago gangsters. Hoping to start fresh, they use stolen money to open a juke joint for the local community. As friends, family members and musicians gather for the club's opening night, a mysterious outsider named Remmick (Jack O'Connell) brings a deadly supernatural threat with him. Trapped inside as the danger grows, the brothers and their allies must fight to survive.

Watch "Sinners" on Prime Video until June 26

‘Hot Fuzz’ (2007)

Comedy fans who somehow haven’t experienced “Hot Fuzz,” add it to your watchlist now. This action-packed comedy from Edgar Wright serves as the second and most commercially successful installment in the legendary Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy (nestled between “Shaun of the Dead” and “The World’s End”). I do think “Hot Fuzz” is the best out of the bunch, as it’s a beautifully structured cinematic puzzle box packed with explosive set pieces and great banter between Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is London's most accomplished police officer, who is unexpectedly reassigned to the seemingly peaceful village of Sandford. Struggling to adapt to small-town policing, Angel is partnered with the enthusiastic but inexperienced Danny Butterman (Nick Frost). What appears to be a quiet community soon takes a darker turn when a series of deadly accidents occur. Convinced that the incidents are connected, Angel launches an investigation, determined to uncover secrets hidden beneath Sandford's picture-perfect surface.

Watch "Hot Fuzz" on Prime Video until June 30

‘10 Cloverfield Lane’ (2016)

Anyone in a sci-fi mood after watching “Disclosure Day” on the big screen should stream “10 Cloverfield Lane,” a psychological sci-fi thriller directed by Dan Trachtenberg and produced by J.J. Abrams. There’s so much dread in this film that you’ll probably need something lighter afterwards, but it proves you don’t need giant budgets or citywide destruction to make the “Cloverfield” franchise a success. In fact, “10 Cloverfield Lane” is arguably the strongest entry, largely thanks to its deeply compelling performances.

After a car accident on a remote Louisiana road, Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) wakes up injured in an underground bunker owned by a man named Howard (John Goodman). He claims he rescued her from a catastrophic event that has made the outside world uninhabitable. Alongside another resident, Emmett (John Gallagher Jr.), Michelle tries to adjust to life in the shelter, but Howard's erratic behavior and controlling nature leave her questioning whether she can trust him.

Watch "10 Cloverfield Lane" on Prime Video until June 30

‘The Menu’ (2022)

Last on this list is another deeply unnerving thriller that serves as a full-course psychological feast. “The Menu” is best enjoyed with as little knowledge as possible, so I don’t want to give away any potential spoilers. Instead, I’ll say it’s an incredibly fun, mean-spirited, and darkly hilarious cinematic experience that feels like a cross between a luxury food documentary and Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None.” It definitely leaves a deliciously bitter aftertaste, perfect for anyone who enjoys their social satire served with a heavy dose of dark suspense.

Margot (Anya Taylor-Joy) and her date Tyler (Nicholas Hoult) travel to Hawthorn, an ultra-exclusive restaurant located on a remote private island. The evening is hosted by celebrated chef Julian Slowik (Ralph Fiennes), who has prepared a lavish multi-course dining experience for a select group of wealthy guests, critics and business figures. As each course is served, the diners realize they are part of something far more elaborate than a luxury dinner.

YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream subscribers may be eligible for payment from an antitrust class action lawsuit brought against the Walt Disney Company. The lawsuit claimed that the mega corporation forced YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream to raise subscription prices.

The lawsuit alleged that the claims violated state and federal antitrust and consumer protection laws. Disney settled the case, agreeing to $50 million, though the company denies any wrongdoing, per a report from AL.com.

From court documents I could discover, this lawsuit has been making its way through the court system since at least 2022. And despite the name, the settlement website does appear legitimate.

It comes at an interesting time, as YouTube TV and Disney had a seemingly bitter contract negotiation in late 2025 that briefly saw multiple Disney-owned channels, including ABC and ESPN, disappear from the service. The network carriage bundle ultimately led Google to introduce genre-based subscription bundles, which are cheaper than the current $82 all-in subscription.

Who is eligible?

Per the Online TV settlement website, anyone who had a YouTube TV or DirecTV Stream subscription between April 1, 2019 and March 31, 2026 are eligible for the settlement.

There are two groups who are eligible, "Repealer Jurisdictions" and "Non-repealer Jurisdictions." Repealers include anyone located in Alabama, California, New York, Florida and 36 other states. The full list can be found in this document on page 3. Non-Repealers include anyone living in any other U.S. state or territory.

To claim a portion of the settlement, you must submit a valid claim form by September 8, 2026. Exact details on payout amounts do not appear to be finalized.

If you want to exclude yourself, you must do so by that same date. That request must be mailed to the settlement administrator at Biddle v. Disney, Settlement Administrator, P.O. Box 4720, Portland, OR 97208-4720.

A final hearing is scheduled for January 14, 2027, when a judge will approve or not the settlement. If approved, payments would be distributed after that hearing. Typically, these kinds of settlements must be paid in a specific window, usually 90 days.

It should be noted that Fubo TV is part of the lawsuit and apparently has not settled with Disney. That portion of the lawsuit is ongoing.

If you enjoy dating shows like "Love Island U.K." but want to see more diverse and refreshing relationships develop on-screen, then "I Kissed A Girl" – and its sibling show, "I Kissed A Boy" – are for you.

With Dannii Minogue playing host, this show leans into the LGBTQ+ dating scene by bringing together ten singles of the same gender. Minogue houses them all in a stunning villa in Italy and lets love find a way.

This season, Minogue has a few tricks up her sleeve to really put the girls' chemistry to the test, while even by episode two, three new girls are shipped into the masseria to mix things up. There'll be love, tears, drama, and lots of kissing, so buckle up for cupid to cause some chaos.

Ready for more Kiss-Offs? If so, here's how to watch "I Kissed A Girl" season 2 online and from anywhere including the U.S. and Australia.

How to watch 'I Kissed A Girl' season 2 from anywhere

Thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network), "I Kissed A Girl" should be available to Brits no matter where they are. The software allows your devices to appear to be back in the U.K. and watch iPlayer for free, as if you were back home.

Not all VPNs works for this – but NordVPN (try risk-free) does (we use it daily).

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. Try NordVPN.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're away from the U.K. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the show. Head to BBC iPlayer to watch "I Kissed A Girl" online and on-demand.

Watch 'I Kissed A Girl' season 2 in the U.K.

"I Kissed A Girl" season 2 will premiere on BBC Three with a double episode drop on Tuesday, June 23 at 9 p.m. BST. Two more episodes will air each Wednesday at the same time thereafter.

The first four episodes of the dating show dropped on BBC iPlayer at 6 a.m. BST on Tuesday, June 23. Episodes 5 and 6 will land on June 30, with another four to follow after that... capped off by the all-important "IKAG" 2026 reunion.

Outside the U.K.? You don't have to miss this show if you are a Brit living abroad because you can watch your usual streams from anywhere with a VPN. We'll explain how to do that below...

Can you watch 'I Kissed A Girl' season 2 in the U.S. and Canada?

"I Kissed A Girl" season 2 is is not scheduled to air in the U.S. or Canada just yet. But, given Hulu has the rights to the first season, so we would expect the new episodes to arrive there... eventually.

Visiting the U.S. from the U.K.? NordVPN can unlock your Brit streams so you can watch shows like "I Kissed a Girl" season 2 in the USA, provided terms allow.

Can you watch 'I Kissed A Girl' season 2 in Australia?

You'll face a similar dilemma in Australia, with no linear TV release or streaming service drop for "I Kissed A Girl" season 2 at the moment.

However, Network 10 was the free-to-air home of the first season, so we anticipate the second season will wind up there soon.

Don't forget, we use NordVPN to watch our usual streaming services from anywhere. Not all VPNs work for this but Nord is excellent for streaming while on the go.

Scotland vs Brazil is one of the most anticipated matches of the FIFA World Cup 2026's group stage – and whether you're watching from a bar, a hotel, or any other network that isn't your own, your connection may be more exposed than you think. Plus, if you accidentally end up on websites that aren't trustworthy, exposing your IP address to them can spell danger.

Using one of the best VPNs closes that window by encrypting your traffic and masking your IP address, so nobody on the same network can see what you're doing. It also means your ISP can't monitor your streaming habits, and websites can't see your real IP – useful if you'd rather keep your viewing activity to yourself.

We currently rate Norton VPN as the best VPN for streaming, and there's a sensational deal running right now that makes it an easy choice for World Cup coverage.

How does Norton VPN compare to other top VPNs?

NordVPN continues to outperform Norton VPN in our overall VPN rankings, and its testing record backs that up: speeds of over 1,249 Mbps locally, a server network spanning more than 8,000 servers across 135 countries, and a near-flawless streaming unblocking record. In comparison, Norton VPN only offers servers in 65+ countries – meaning potentially less choice when it comes to streaming services.

The catch is price – even on the discounted two-year plan, NordVPN works out at around $3.49 per month, which is a little more than Norton. What's more, it only comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Norton also has the edge when it comes to raw streaming performance, unblocking every major streaming platform in our latest round of testing, despite its smaller network.

Surfshark is a budget alternative, with plans starting at a very reasonable $1.99 per month and the bonus of unlimited device connections. This is a contrast to Norton VPN, which has strict limits on how many devices you can install the VPN on. Surfshark's a capable all-rounder, too, and one of the fastest VPNs we've tested. However, its streaming unblocking has been less consistent than Norton's in our reviews, occasionally struggling with certain Netflix regions.

If your main priority is keeping your streaming activity private without interruption, Norton VPN is the clear choice. What's more, that performance currently comes with competitive pricing against NordVPN and a 60-day guarantee which is double what most competitors offer, giving you the entire tournament to decide if it's right for you.

NordVPN and Surfshark remain solid options for general use once the World Cup wraps up, but for streaming this tournament privately and securely, Norton's combination of unblocking power and excellent pricing is hard to beat.

I’m always on the hunt for thriller movies across the best streaming services, including Prime Video. I consider the genre a personal favorite, and it’s clear I’m not alone in my love of any movie packed with action, suspense, excitement, tension, and maybe a good twist or two.

Prime Video clearly understands that many of its subscribers demand good thriller movies, so it regularly adds new options to its content library. Case in point, the Prime Video June 2026 slate is packed with thrillers. To save you the hassle of browsing the dozens of recent arrivals yourself, I’ve combed through the slate and found three thrillers to watch this week.

My latest picks include movies fronted by two of the genre’s most popular stars, Liam Neeson and Gerard Butler, as well as a certified Hollywood classic. The latter may be more of a legal drama, but I guarantee you’ll find it engrossing and deeply compelling. These are the three new to Prime Video thriller movies to add to your streaming watchlist this week.

‘12 Angry Men’ (1957)

I’m slightly stretching the definition of a thriller to include this one, but then again, “12 Angry Men” is just as electrifying and compelling as anything else I’ve watched in the thriller genre. It’s a masterclass in screenwriting, with one of cinema’s greatest-ever scripts. It’s no slouch in other crucial departments either. Sidney Lumet’s legal drama is regularly cited as one of the best and most influential movies ever made, and it deserves every ounce of adulation it's received over the decades.

Set in the sweltering heat of a New York City courthouse during the sticky summer season, 12 jurors convene to determine the guilt of a young boy accused of murdering his father. The men might not be the ones on trial, but as their discussion unfolds, each one’s character is thoroughly examined. Initially, 11 of the jurors believe the boy is guilty without question, and it’s up to Henry Fonda’s Juror No. 8 to present the alternative case.

'A Walk Among the Tombstones' (2014)

Liam Neeson-fronted action-thrillers are a comfort watch to me. Yes, it’s a little odd to consider movies filled with violence, criminals, and usually a gruff protagonist comforting, but Neeson had made a name for himself in the genre by bringing predictable (but usually enjoyable) thrills to the table. In fact, “A Walk Among the Tombstones” is one of Neeson’s better action-thrillers, giving Neeson a role with a little more meat on the bone.

Matt Scudder (Neeson) is a retired NYPD detective, now working as a private investigator. When he’s approached by a wealthy drug dealer (Dan Stevens), he’s hired for a complex case. The dealer’s wife was kidnapped, and despite the requested ransom being paid, she was still brutally murdered. He wants her killers found and brought to justice. As Scudder investigates the grisly killing, he sinks into New York’s criminal underworld, soon encountering Ray (David Harbour), a sadistic criminal.

‘Plane’ (2023)

“Plane” is a no-nonsense thriller that leans into its own predictability. Even the movie’s title is extremely matter-of-fact, and I appreciate it when a film has a self-aware streak. This 2023 action-thriller doesn’t have genre reinvention on its agenda and instead aims to please with Gerard Butler playing a suitably kick-butt action hero and Mike Colter offering strong support. I’m just disappointed the sequel, tentatively titled “Boat,” got canned just a couple of weeks before production was due to begin.

In “Plane,” Butler plays Brodie Torrance, a pilot forced into an emergency landing when lightning threatens the safety of his plane and passengers. The snag is that the aircraft has touched down in a war-torn region, and the survivors are immediately taken hostage. Torrance has no choice but to team up with an accused murderer, Louis Gaspare (Colter), who was on the airplane in FBI custody. They’re an unlikely team, ready to save the day.

• Prime Video top 10 movies — here’s the 3 worth watching

Netflix’s top 10 is a quick way to figure out what’s popular when you’re stuck for something to watch, but being high on the list doesn’t automatically mean a show is actually good. Every week, I go through the most-watched titles on the platform and highlight the series that are genuinely worth your time, cutting through the noise to separate the standouts from the ones lacking quality.

The trending list this week is packed with intense thrills and plenty of juicy drama. At No. 1 right now is Harlan Coben’s latest series, “I Will Find You,” an easy binge for anyone after a gripping watch. If you’re not sure what to watch next, I’ve selected three standout titles from Netflix’s top 10 that are worth adding to your watchlist, plus the full ranking (at the time of writing).

Note: This list is based on the Netflix U.S. top 10 shows as of Tuesday, June 23, 2026.

Best shows in the Netflix top 10

‘I Will Find You’

Harlan Coben is one of Netflix’s most reliably popular creators. Since his deal with Netflix started in 2018, the platform has adapted multiple novels into limited series, and several of them have become global hits in the streamer’s top 10 lists. The latest adaptation to reach the No. 1 spot is “I Will Find You,” structured as a fast-paced, ticking-clock conspiracy thriller. While it leans on familiar thriller tropes and relies on a series of convenient escapes, this series is clearly an engaging streaming hit packed with twists to keep you invested.

“I Will Find You” follows David Burroughs (Sam Worthington), a man serving a life sentence for the murder of his young son. His life suddenly changes when he receives evidence suggesting his son may still be alive. Determined to uncover the truth, David escapes from prison and begins a relentless search. The closer he gets to answers, the more he uncovers shocking revelations that challenge everything he believed about his past, the original investigation, and those closest to him, while racing to reunite with his child before it’s too late.

Stream "I Will Find You" on Netflix

‘Oasis’

“Oasis” is a Spanish mystery thriller series set in an ultra-luxurious, exclusive resort where wealthy families spend their summer holidays in apparent paradise. Styled as a highly addictive, sun-drenched “nightmare vacation” drama, the series has immediately drawn heavy comparisons to a YA-focused iteration of HBO’s hit “The White Lotus.” This already seems like a highly bingeable piece of summer escapism perfect for viewers who love their teenage high-society drama.

Dani (Tomy Aguilera) is a newcomer thrust into a world of hyper-privileged teenagers, including his scheming step-sister Sofía (Ada Molina) and the wealthy Maca (Berta Castañé). When a local worker named Celia (Victoria Kantch) mysteriously vanishes, the resort is plunged into a police lockdown. To uncover the truth, Dani teams up with Celia's fierce best friend, Helena (Ana Garcés), and they begin uncovering secrets hidden beneath the resort’s perfect surface.

Stream "Oasis" on Netflix

‘The Four Seasons’

Lastly we have the second season of a popular comedy-drama. “The Four Seasons” adapts the structural conceit of Alan Alda’s classic 1981 film, which revolves around a simple hook: it follows a tightly knit circle of well-off, middle-aged friends exclusively during their four seasonal vacation getaways over the course of a year. It’s perfect for those wanting adult-centered TV that is equal parts heartbreaking and hysterically funny, and it also feels fitting now that we’re in summer.

Season 2 of “The Four Seasons” picks up after Nick’s (Steve Carell) death, with the group continuing their tradition of seasonal trips while adjusting to major changes in their lives. Jack (Will Forte) struggles to maintain normal routines without Nick, while Kate (Tina Fey) tries to keep the friendships from drifting apart. Danny (Colman Domingo) and Claude (Marco Calvani) begin building a life together in Claude’s hometown in Italy. Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver) and Ginny (Erika Henningsen) are forced to share responsibility for Nick’s baby, Gino, during a series of trips.

In case you haven't heard, it's a Spike Lee summer. Ever since his beloved New York Knicks broke a 53-year drought to win this year's NBA Championships, the legendary filmmaker has been joyfully hitting the streets of New York in celebration with, well, everybody. The whole spectacle has looked like a scene straight out of one of Lee's NYC-set flicks, none more iconic or summery than "Do the Right Thing."

Taking place over the course of a single day in Brooklyn — the most sweltering day of the year, to be exact — the 1989 indie comedy encompasses summer, all relentless heat, rising tensions and residential liveliness.

And if all of that post-win, Spike-approved good energy isn't enough of an impetus to rewatch the cinematic classic, then the fact that "Do the Right Thing" is set to leave Prime Video at the end of the month should be reason enough. Here's why you should hang out with Mookie, Da Mayor, Mother Sister, Radio Raheem and the rest of the Stuyvesant Avenue crew before they depart the streaming service on June 30.

What is 'Do the Right Thing' about?

Written, directed and produced by Spike Lee, the events of "Do the Right Thing" play out across a single summer day in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant area, following Lee's character Mookie as he navigates his relationships with his Black-American neighbors (played by Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Bill Nunn and Roger Guenveur Smith, among others) and the Italian-American owners of the local pizzeria at which he works. (Danny Aiello, John Turturro and Richard Edson make up the latter dough-punching contingent.)

As the temperatures continue to ratchet up, the simmering racial tensions between those two groups boil over after Mookie's buddy Buggin' Out (Giancarlo Esposito) demands that the pizzeria display prominent Black public figures on its "Wall of Fame," a denied request that leads to a neighborhood boycott.

Why I recommend you stream 'Do the Right Thing' on Prime Video

Spike Lee had made ambitious and energetic films prior to "Do the Right Thing" — including "She's Gotta Have It" and "School Daze" — but his 1989 ode to New York summer remains arguably his most seminal work all these decades later, one pulsing with infectious vibrancy, social conflict, biting humor, raw emotion and unshakeable heat.

The film earned two Academy Award nominations, one for Lee's screenplay as well as for actor Danny Aiello's supporting performance) and has since been ranked one of the greatest films of all time by Sight and Sound's 2022 survey of film critics, curators, archivists and more.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 92%, with its critics' consensus praising: "Smart, vibrant and urgent without being didactic, 'Do the Right Thing' is one of Spike Lee's most fully realized efforts – and one of the most important films of the 1980s." So do the right thing and give this Spike Lee masterpiece a rewatch before it's gone.

It’s set to be a busy week for new movies across the most popular streaming services. Several platforms, including Netflix, HBO Max, and Disney+, will have new films for subscribers to watch.

Netflix has a new comedy movie that pairs John Cena and Eric André as siblings; HBO Max has a horror described as “the scariest movie you’ll ever hear,” and the latest installment in the blockbuster “Avatar” franchise heads to Disney+. If all that wasn’t enough, there’s also a trio of worthwhile options on premium streaming, including a fantastic thriller movie that ranks in my top 10 movies of 2026 (and I’ve seen 50+ new films this year).

To save you the time of scrolling through streaming libraries to find out what’s new and worthwhile, I’ve done the hard work for you and collected together the most noteworthy new movies down below. Plus, check out our guide to all the top new TV shows streaming this week.

‘Tuner’ (PVOD)

"Tuner" is one of my favorite thriller movies of 2026 so far, and nowhere near enough people caught it in theaters. Even with its strong 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes, viewers did not turn out for this tense watch starring Leo Woodall and Dustin Hoffman. That’s why I’m hoping its arrival on premium streaming will signal a fresh wave of attention, because it richly deserves a wider viewership. It’s gripping and builds to an excellent finale.

Woodall plays Niki White, an apprentice to renowned New York City piano tuner Harry Horowitz (Hoffman). Suffering from a sensitivity to sound that he describes as an “allergy to loud noises,” he was once a virtuoso but no longer plays. In need of money, he discovers an aptitude for cracking safes and falls in with a criminal gang. At the same time, he meets and starts dating a music student, Ruthie (Havana Rose Liu). But as the stakes get higher, Niki’s two lives are thrown together, and he is forced to face the music.

‘Power Ballad’ (PVOD)

Director John Carney is known for his musical comedies like “Once,” “Sing Street,” and “Begin Again,” and his latest project, “Power Ballad,” falls within the same genre. After all, if you’re good at something, why do anything else? Starring Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas, “Power Ballad” is a generally charming watch, even if it’s not up to the quality of Carney’s best work. Plus, it centers on a stolen song, but the tune in question is pretty terrible.

Rick (Rudd) is the lead singer of a wedding band in Ireland. Once hoping to make it as a serious musician, he gave up his dreams to raise his daughter. When he meets former boy band member Danny (Jonas) at a wedding, the two spend the evening jamming. Weeks later, Rick is stunned when Danny records and takes credit for one of Rick’s original songs, and the track becomes a global hit. Determined to be recognised for his work, Rick sets off to confront Danny, but by doing so risks everything he cares about.

‘Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour’ (PVOD)

Billie Eilish’s biggest concert movie to date was filmed during her globe-spanning Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour, in support of the album of the same name. Shot during Eilish’s sold-out run at Manchester’s Co-op Live arena, this movie gives you the best seat in the house as the American singer rattles through her earworm hits, including “Happier Than Ever, “Birds of a Feather” and “Bad Guy.” It’s a must-watch for dedicated Billie Eilish fans.

Most interesting about this concert film is that Eilish co-directs alongside James Cameron, yes, that James Cameron. On the big screen, it was a 3D event, and while the home streaming release can’t replicate the use of the technology (remember when 3D TVs were a thing?), It’s a very slick production overall. It’s not often you get to enjoy a concert movie starring one of music’s biggest names and directed by a Hollywood legend.

Watch on Prime Video (buy/rent) starting June 23

‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ (Disney+)

Speaking of James Cameron, the latest installment in his box office-conquering “Avatar” franchise heads to Disney+. While this third entry in the sci-fi series did still gross an eye-watering sum, its total was significantly down on its predecessor, so I’m assuming a lot of viewers were waiting to catch “Fire and Ash” on streaming. If you enjoyed the previous two “Avatar” movies, it’s hard to see this one as disappointing, as it offers all the same jaw-dropping visuals and incredible world-building, even if its narrative chops are thin.

In “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” former human turned Na’vi, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), must lead his family into uncharted territory after being targeted by a new fire-obsessed clan, alongside contending with an old enemy, Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang). The plot is serviceable, though it recycles many beats from “The Way of Water.” But really, who is watching “Avatar” for the plot? This franchise has always been about the visuals, and they’re on point. Still, by the end of its chunky 200-minute runtime, the series does feel like it's starting to run out of gas.

Watch on Disney+ starting June 24

‘In the Hand of Dante’ (Netflix)

“In the Hand of Dante” is one of the week’s more interesting offerings. It’s a drama that packs both flashbacks to a period setting and a modern-day thriller-style storyline that is quite violent. Plus, it offers not one, but two, roles for the typically excellent Oscar Isaac. It’s based on Nick Tosches novel of the same name and also stars Gal Gadot, Gerard Butler, John Malkovich, Martin Scorsese, Al Pacino and Jason Momoa. That’s quite the cast list.

In a meta twist, Tosches is a character in the movie, played by Isaac. He’s an author living in New York, recruited by the mafia to confirm the authenticity and steal the Italian poet Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy, written in the poet's own hand. This violent modern-day story is intertwined with scenes set in the 14th century. In these, Isaac plays the poet Dante. The NYC portion is presented in black and white, with the historical sequences filmed in full color.

Watch on Netflix starting June 24

‘Little Brother’ (Netflix)

“Little Brother” is certainly not the first comedy flick to mine humor from the idea of two mismatched siblings. Heck, Hollywood has been recycling this trope for decades. So, I’m confident in saying this new Netflix comedy isn’t going to win many points for originality, but if it can make subscribers laugh, then it’ll have served its primary purpose. With John Cena and Eric André in the lead roles, it may well achieve that important goal.

Cena plays a successful real estate agent who lives an orderly life. This well-maintained lifestyle is thrown into chaos when his eccentric “little brother” (André) appears on the scene and proves to be a walking disaster magnet. The trailer suggests this movie will be heavy on slapstick comedy with Cena playing the straight man and André the unpredictable wild card.

Watch on Netflix starting June 26

‘Undertone’ (HBO Max)

“Undertone” is a fairly pedestrian horror. Don’t go in expecting a memorable experience akin to current genre favorites “Obsession” and “Backrooms.” However, if you set your expectations accordingly, you might find this supernatural horror decently chilling. Its hook is that it’s built around sound, invoking fear in its viewers with spooky noises. In fact, only two members of the cast appear on screen, with the rest only in voice.

Evy (Nina Kiri) is the host of a popular horror podcast, recording the latest episode from her home, where she also cares for her ailing mother (Michèle Duquet). When Evy and her co-host (Adam DiMarco) are sent a series of audio recordings that chronicle a couple’s paranormal experience, the skeptical Evy is drawn into a terrifying evening of sinister specters. As the night progresses, she’s forced to consider that some ghosts might be real.

• Netflix top 10 movies — here’s the 3 worth watching right now
• The best streaming services to subscribe to right now

As you attempt to watch the World Cup this summer, you may have noticed that YouTube TV isn't performing as usual on your Roku streaming device. It's possible this could be due to a recent May update from Google. It's affecting many of the best Roku devices.

The degraded performance appears to affect Live Guide in YouTube TV, with both a restriction on your Live Guide list and pausing background play when you search in Live Guide.

I dug through the YouTube TV community support forums and complaints started appearing in late May when the last YouTube TV update went live. The complaints concern a shortened Live Guide list going from multiple days out to only a few hours at the worst.

What we found

According to one of the product experts in the forum, YouTube TV intentionally degraded performance and background playback to "prevent crashing and create a more seamless experience for those devices."

"A change was made recently for older and less powerful devices and smart TVs. For these TVs and devices, background play is no longer supported. The amount you can scroll into the future is also impacted," 'Diamond Product Expert' BryanGR86 has posted under multiple threads.

They claimed that it should only affect older, lower-end devices. However, I have seen reports from owners of newer Roku Ultra devices that are having the same problem.

Additionally, BryanGR86 mentions multiple devices including Apple TV 4K, Amazon's Fire Sticks, the Google Chromecast and more, but on the whole it appears this issue is mainly affecting Roku owners.

Recommendations: Consider upgrading

The advice is to upgrade your streaming device to the newest hardware to get the full YouTube TV experience. If you go that route we have picked the best streaming devices that will give you access to a wide range of services beyond YouTube TV.

It's unclear how many streaming devices this degradation actually affects. Google's compatibility page does note that "select devices with 512mb or less of memory may have a slightly different experience and some features may not be available."

Tom's Guide has reached out directly to Google and Roku about the degraded performance. We will update this article if either company responds.

If you're not sure what to stream on Prime Video, its top 10 movies list is a useful place to begin. The ranking showcases the films currently drawing the most viewers on the service. To help you avoid wasting an evening on a disappointing pick, I've highlighted the movies I'd recommend streaming first.

That includes a popular DCU movie that is perfect to watch before “Supergirl,” a new romantic drama sequel packed with yearning and tension, and an action-thriller starring Jason Statham. The recommendations below are pulled from Prime Video’s top 10 movies as of Monday, June 22, 2026. The chart isn't particularly strong this week, but these are the three titles I think are most worth your time.

Best Prime Video top 10 movies to stream right now

‘Superman’ (2025)

As the first movie in James Gunn’s new DC Universe, “Superman” lays the foundation for an entirely new interconnected franchise. With David Corenswet taking on the iconic role, the film introduced a fresh take on Clark Kent while setting up the next chapter of the DCU. That makes now the perfect time to catch up, especially with “Supergirl” arriving this week as the franchise's second movie.

In James Gunn’s reboot of “Superman,” Clark Kent is already an established hero working as a reporter at the Daily Planet while protecting Metropolis as Superman. When he intervenes in an international conflict, billionaire tech mogul Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) seizes the opportunity to turn public opinion against him, portraying Superman as a dangerous threat. As Luthor’s schemes grow more elaborate, Superman finds himself facing a crisis that puts the entire world at risk.

‘Your Fault: London’ (2026)

I do love a guilty pleasure movie, and Prime Video has a knack for delivering exactly what fans of the genre enjoy. The latest addition comes in the form of “Your Fault: London,” following on from 2025’s “My Fault: London.” Together, both films continue Prime Video’s English-language adaptation of Mercedes Ron’s bestselling Culpables trilogy. This sequel leans further into drama in its second instalment, moving away from the first film’s heavier focus on past trauma and its brief shift into action-thriller territory.

“Your Fault: London” follows Noah (Asha Banks) and Nick (Matthew Broome) as they try to keep their relationship alive while living increasingly separate lives in London and Oxford. Noah begins university life at Oxford, where she meets her roommate Briar (Scarlett Rayner) and Michael (Joel Nankervis), a charming student. Meanwhile, Nick works within his father’s business empire and meets his new colleague Sophia (Louisa Binder). Soon, the couple’s bond is tested more than ever.

‘A Working Man’ (2025)

If you’re in the mood for an action-packed thriller this week, “A Working Man” should be on your watchlist. It’s a real treat for action purists who miss the R-rated vengeance fantasies of the late ’80s and ’90s. While the film is weighed down by a predictable plot and some overly dramatic villain tropes, it still delivers a slick, satisfying popcorn actioner that reminds you why Jason Statham remains an untouchable force in modern action cinema.

Levon Cade (Jason Statham) is a former Royal Marine Commando who has left his covert military past behind to work construction in Chicago. When the teenage daughter of his boss, Jenny Garcia (Arianna Rivas), is kidnapped during a violent human trafficking operation, Levon is pulled back into his old skill set. He begins tracking the kidnappers across the city, uncovering a wider criminal network tied to organized crime and corrupt officials, determined to bring the girl back home safely.

• 5 must-watch classic movies were just added to Prime Video

BritBox may not be as widely known as global streaming juggernauts like Netflix and Disney+, but if you're a diehard fan of British shows and movies, there's arguably no better streaming service out there. Founded by BBC Studios and ITV, the platform features current and classic programs across all genres, whether you're into quaint country mysteries, quirky detective dramas or cackle-inducing TV comedies.

And of the latter, BritBox is home to one of this writer's favorite British sitcoms: "Chewing Gum," the 2015 E4 sitcom by the multitalented Michaela Coel, who would go on to create the acclaimed HBO dramedy "I May Destroy You," earning the Best Actress BAFTA and a Primetime Emmy (becoming the first Black woman to win for Outstanding Writing for a Limited Series) in the process.

Based on Coel's 2012 one-woman play "Chewing Gum Dreams," "Chewing Gum" may not be as well-known as Coel's latter, darker work, but it's no less worthy of a watch, a riotously funny series featuring some of Britain's finest, with the likes of Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Bailey joining Coel onscreen. Need more convincing? Here's why you should tune into "Chewing Gum" on BritBox now.

What is 'Chewing Gum' about?

Writer-creator Michaela Coel stars as Tracey Gordon, a 24-year-old deeply religious but sexually curious woman who dumps her ultra-pious boyfriend of six years, Ronald (John MacMillan), to embark on a chaotic and hysterical mission to break free from her repressed Pentecostal upbringing, lose her virginity and explore the wider world.

As the sitcom follows along with Tracey's amorous hijinks and attempts at seduction across two seasons and a dozen episodes, "Chewing Gum" gives hilarious insights into the protagonist's colorful world, from bad dates to Beyoncé-inspired makeovers to the London council estate in which she lives. (Along with Coel and MacMillan, the cast includes Danielle Walters as Candice, Tracey's best friend; Susan Wokoma as Tracey's sister Cynthia; and Shola Adewusi as their strict, devout mother Joy.)

Why I recommend you stream 'Chewing Gum' on BritBox

If you enjoy smart cringe comedy like "Fleabag," "Derry Girls," "This Way Up" and, yes, "I May Destroy You," you'll no doubt find plenty to like about "Chewing Gum." Coel — who took home a BAFTA for performing in the unapologetically raunchy sitcom — wrings countless laughs out of Tracey's awkward attempts at romance and coming-of-age foibles, especially as the character frequently breaks the fourth wall to share her innermost secrets and wildest anxieties.

"Chewing Gum" is the rare comedy series that maintained a perfect 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes across its entire run, with critics praising Coel's "brazen" lead performance, the scripts' deft juggling of "Christian convictions and crude intentions" and the show's overall "surreal charm and button-pushing comedy."

If you're looking to find what new movies and shows Netflix is adding this week, I've got you covered. The streaming service is adding a mere 11 new movies and shows this week, but there are a few titles worth adding to your watchlist.

Top of the list is clearly "Little Brother," a Netflix original comedy movie starring John Cena and Eric André. For fantasy fans, "Avatar: The Last Airbender" season 2 is back for another round of adapting the beloved Nickelodeon cartoon.

That's probably the end of the top tier, but "In the Hand of Dante" is a flawed movie with an impressive cast. It stars Oscar Isaac, Gal Gadot, Gerard Butler, John Malkovich, Marin Scorsese, Al Pacino and Jason Momoa. But if you enjoy a good documentary, you might prefer watching "The American Experiment," a five-part docuseries about the 250-year history of the U.S. For those who just need a laugh, make sure to watch "Ryan Hamilton: This Just Hit Me."

Those aren't the only movies, shows and live events to add to your watchlist this week, though. Here's the full schedule of everything new on Netflix over the next seven days, along with my top picks for what you need to stream. Don't forget to check out everything new on Netflix in June 2026 for even more movies and shows to check out.

New on Netflix this week: Top picks

'Little Brother'

Genre: Comedy movie

What it's about: In "Little Brother," John Cena is Rudd, a famous real estate agent. His perfect life is turned upside-down, though, when a man claiming to be his brother calls him from the hospital. This man, Marcus (Eric André), was Rudd's little brother in a school "Big brother-little brother" program, and is not related to Rudd in any way. But that doesn't stop Rudd from still taking Marcus in, and chaos ensues.

Why you should watch it: This movie definitely seems to lean into André's absurd brand of comedy, at least, based on the trailer. If you like a wacky comedy with two hilarious leads, this movie should have no problem making you laugh.

Watch "Little Brother" on Netflix starting June 26

'Avatar: The Last Airbender' season 2

Genre: Fantasy action-adventure series

What it's about: Avatar Aang (Gordon Cormier) is the last member of the Air Nomads. Alongside his companions, Katara (Kiawentiio), and Sokka (Ian Ousley), he's on a crash course with the villainous Fire Lord Ozai (Daniel Dae Kim). This season, the trio is headed to the Earth Kingdom to convince its King to aid in their battle against Ozai's ferocious fire benders.

Why you should watch it: Fans of the original Nickelodeon series, be warned: I can't promise that Netflix's live-action version of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is better than the animated series. But that doesn't mean you won't still like it. The show makes some interesting changes due to the restrictions of being live-action instead of animated.

Watch "Avatar: The Last Airbender" season 2 on Netflix starting June 25

'In the Hand of Dante'

Genre: Drama movie

What it's about: Nick Tosches (Oscar Isaac) is an author recruited by a mafia boss to steal Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy." The original one. From the 14th century. Needless to say, things do not go smoothly.

Why you should watch it: This movie doesn't take place solely in the 21st century; "In the Hand of Dante" also goes back to Dante's Italy, with many actors portraying people in both periods. Critics didn't love this movie when it debuted at the Venice International Film Festival last year, but with a cast that includes Isaac, John Malkovich and Al Pacino, it's worth giving a shot if you have time.

'The American Experiment'

Genre: Docuseries

What it's about: "The American Experiment" is a five-part docuseries about the 250-year history of the U.S. It's centered around a fundamental question: "Can a people govern themselves?" To answer the question, director Brian Knappenberger brings together a roster of politicians and academics, including a pair of U.S. Vice Presidents.

Why you should watch it: I'm not convinced that this docuseries won't devolve into ideological debate, but I'm certainly intrigued about a documentary that got both Mike Pence and Kamala Harris on board. Plus, Tom Hanks is one of the executive producers, so I have some faith it will be worth a watch.

Genre: Stand-up comedy special

In "This Just Hit Me," the folksy comedian delivers a new hour-long special for Netflix that dives into big-city living, going in a hot-air balloon and what it's like to go to Disney World by yourself.

Why you should watch it: This is Hamilton's second stand-up special, but it's been nearly a decade since "Happy Face" arrived on Netflix. He's had plenty of time to hone his craft, and you won't want to miss it.

Yes, chef! This week's TV lineup is serving up a veritable buffet of new shows premiering on Netflix, HBO Max and more of the best streaming services.

At the center of the week’s lineup is the final season of "The Bear," still all hot stoves and frayed nerves as the restaurant becomes a pressure cooker in the wake of Carmy's departure. "Avatar: The Last Airbender" season 2 returns with bigger stakes and more elemental chaos.

Plus, two very different takes on U.S. history debut in time for the country's 250th anniversary. The Obamas and Tom Hanks team up with the docuseries "The American Experiment," while Larry David's sketch series "Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness" comes with a heavy dose of sarcasm. Here's our guide to what's new on TV this week.

The real question hanging over it all: Is the experiment still working?

‘A Woman of Substance’ (BritBox)

‘Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness’ (HBO)

Premiere date: Episode 1 on Friday, June 26 at 9 p.m. ET
Where to watch: HBO and HBO Max

Tonight's "House of the Dragon" season 3 premiere had one job: wash away the stench of season 2. The season 2 finale (all the way back in August 2024!) felt like it was building towards a major showdown... only to pull the rug out from under us with a cliffhanger ending. People felt cheated, and suddenly, there was concern that the show and franchise as a whole had lost their way.

Having nearly two years to sit in those bad vibes didn't help. And when "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" arrived this year to critical acclaim, it felt like "House of the Dragon" had been eclipsed.

After tonight, though, I think we can put our concerns to rest. Or, at least, lock them in a room in Dragonstone for the time being. Tonight's season 3 premiere wasn't perfect, and frankly, it would have worked so much better as the finale of season 2. But it delivered epic battles on dragonback and brought back the expectation that anyone and everyone can die in Westeros.

Spoilers ahead for "House of the Dragon" season 3 premiere

'House of the Dragon' season 2 should have ended with this battle

At the end of season 2, everyone seems set to converge for a major battle.

That's where the season 3 premiere picks up. Daemon (Matt Smith) is fighting the Lannisters with the Rivermen. Ormund Hightower (James Norton) is on his way to King's Landing to aid Aemond (Ewan Mitchell), who has deposed his brother Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney). And a Triarchy fleet led by Lohar is on a collision course with Corlys Velaryon's (Steve Toussaint) fleet in the Gullet, not far from Dragonstone, where Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) is planning to take King's Landing with the help of the former queen consort Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke).

Unfortunately, we spend a good chunk of the episode going over this, and that's because the show thinks we need to. It's been nearly two years since the end of season 2, and there's only so much you can fit into a "Previously on ..."

Maybe there were budgetary concerns as well (60 minutes of fighting is more expensive than 30, after all) but it didn't feel like Ryan Condol and company cheaped out on this episode. We got the appearance of numerous dragons outside of the Gullet, and those cost just as much as any battle.

Had this been the season 2 finale, I think that the show could have devoted the entire episode to the epic battle in the Gullet, similar to what "Game of Thrones" did in "Blackwater." If it had done that, I'd have been hard-pressed not to declare the episode a five out of five. The fighting is well choreographed, there are some epic one-on-one battles, and we see some major character deaths. Plus, there are three dragons fighting in the Gullet, one of which goes down into the depths, never to return, and another that is out of control, burning friend and foe alike.

In short, it's exactly the choreographed chaos we love in a Westerosi battle. While the climactic death of Jacaerys "Jace" Velaryon (Harry Collett) doesn't hit as hard as the showrunners would probably have liked, Lohar's demise is satisfying to watch. Now the question remains: Can this show deliver more of the same as season 3 goes on?

Verdict: Anyone can die in 'House of the Dragon,' and this season seems set on proving that

My favorite aspect of this episode was that, while watching it, I felt that basically anyone and everyone could die. Those in King's Landing, as well as Ormund's army, felt safe (for now), but just about everyone else felt in peril, even those fighting far from the Battle of the Gullet.

That's one of the things we came to love from "Game of Thrones," and part of why the final seasons of that show were a bit underwhelming. George R.R. Martin sets the expectations that he will kill his darlings on a whim, and your fan-favorite characters will never be safe. I'm just hoping that by the end of season 3, we have quite a few more dramatic deaths to add to the list.

‘House of the Dragon’ is back! For fans of political chicanery, dragon-based warfare and lots (and lots) of bloodshed, "House of the Dragon" season 3 will no doubt be jam-packed with all three. Below is all the information you need to watch “House of the Dragon" season 3 online from anywhere with a VPN.

After a season 2 finale that some viewers (including those of this parish) thought of as a bit of a bait and switch, the latest run of the "Game of Thrones" prequel is bringing total war as the Greens and Blacks try to reinforce their dominance of the Valyrian Freehold and Rhaenyra Targaryen attempts to clinch power in the face of ever spiralling odds.

HBO played its cards close to its chest in terms of plotlines in the lead-up, but some cast members have given a flavor of what to expect. Matt Smith (Daemon Targaryen) described season 3 as "a big bloodbath", while Emma D’Arcy (Rhaenyra) told fans to expect "an increased ambition to the set pieces, but also to the narrative drama". Indeed, showrunner Ryan Condal has already teased a 'conceptual episode' at some point during the eight-episode run.

And episode 1 was no disappointment — as you can discover in our spoiler-filled review that declared: "it delivered epic battles on dragonback and brought back the expectation that anyone and everyone can die in Westeros". It beautifully set up the remainder of the season, as the fallout plays out in full.

Between the Winter Olympics, the NBA Finals (go Knicks!) and the FIFA World Cup, 2026 has been an especially sporty year so far, so it feels fitting that this year marks the big 50th anniversary of one of the greatest sports movies of all time — we're talking, of course, about that legendary boxing flick, "Rocky."

Written by and starring Sylvester Stallone, the 1976 classic is a rousing, rags-to-riches underdog story that not only redefined cinema but also, through those energetic training montages, that instantly iconic score and Stallone's own dogged determination to get the movie made, is one of the most inspiring watches we've seen on any screen.

In the five decades since the Best Picture-winning ring drama first premiered in theaters, "Rocky" was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" and spawned eight sequels, including the critically acclaimed "Creed" trilogy. But this year's big anniversary is an opportune time to go back to the Balboa beginnings with a "Rocky" rewatch. Helpfully, the sports drama is available to stream on Netflix right now.

What is 'Rocky' about?

Directed by John G. Avildsen (who won the Oscar for his scrappy, naturalistic filmmaking here), "Rocky" stars actor-writer Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa, a small-time club fighter from working-class Philadelphia fighter plucked out of obscurity by the reigning world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). With Creed's scheduled opponent unable to compete due to an injured hand, Balboa only has five weeks to prep for the fight of his life.

Along with chronicling Rocky's tenacious training for 15 rounds against the greatest boxer in the world — most famously depicted in that "Gonna Fly Now"-soundtracked, stair-climbing Philadelphia Museum of Art sequence — the drama also shows off Rocky's soft side, following his tender courtship of Adrianna "Adrian" Pennino (Talia Shire), a shy woman working at the local pet store.

Why 'Rocky' is worth a rewatch on Netflix

Along with Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver," Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar Baby" and its own spinoff "Creed," "Rocky" is one of the rare boxing movies that transcends its sports-movie genre by focusing on the individual beyond the fighter.

We don't just root for Rocky in the ring as he goes from everyman to champion; we cheer on his personal growth, his romantic relationship and his resilient, empathetic nature. It's that grounded, character-driven quality that has allowed the athletic drama to endure as a deeply human story of passion, pathos and perseverance.

Though its franchise successors have varied in quality from top-notch (2015's "Creed") to TKO (1990's "Rocky V"), the 1976 original is an undisputed film classic that will be just as uplifting and gripping 50 years from now. So go in for one more round!

"The Agency" basically shows us what a world with Michael Fassbender as James Bond would be like, but it's even better because we get to watch him over 10 episodes of TV rather than waiting around for a movie.

If you're ready to jump in for more covert CIA missions, here's how to watch "The Agency" season 2 online from anywhere in the world using a VPN.

For years, fans of spy movies were crying out for Fassbender to take on the role of 007, but thanks to "The Agency" we don't need to worry about that anymore. This gritty, explosive series has all the action you'd expect from Bond, while also having more time and space to flesh out the fascinating character Fassbender takes on.

Season 2 of the hit show will see Bosko (Richard Gere) worrying about leaks within the agency, making ruthless decisions, and dealing with some intense, quickfire tactical changes as operations get messy. Meanwhile, Martian (Fassbender) is the one who has to hold everything together as the top agent in the field, but does he have what it takes to get the job done?

"The Agency" season 2 will deliver ten brand new episodes in one fell swoop for you to binge to your heart's content. So, here’s our guide on how to watch "The Agency" season 2 online from anywhere in the world.

How to watch 'The Agency' season 2 from anywhere

“Dad movies” have become a genuine craze in the movie world. While the subgenre doesn’t have a universally agreed-upon definition, I often find myself watching a movie and concluding “that is a total dad movie.” So what better way to celebrate Father’s Day than to put together a dad movie marathon for the dad in your life?

I might not be a dad myself, but I do have one, and I think I’m pretty good at spotting films that fit within the category. So I’ve put together a collection of films that you can stream this weekend, perfect for the annual day dedicated to celebrating fatherhood in all its forms. There’s a bit of everything down below, from sports dramas and action-thrillers to even a sci-fi option.

These are my top picks for the best dad movies you need to watch this Father’s Day.

‘Ford v Ferrari’ (2019)

Heralded as perhaps the 21st century’s most quintessential dad movie, it’s got everything you could want in the subgenre: a '60s setting, a focus on racing cars, an underdog story, and two popular actors in the lead roles, Matt Damon and Christian Bale. It comes from “Logan” director James Mangold and really is the perfect watch on a Sunday afternoon.

Based on the true story of the Le Mans ‘66 race (fun fact: the movie was released under that title in Europe), “Ford v Ferrari” sees Carroll Shelby (Damon) tasked by Ford Motor Company with building a race car that can compete with the track-conquering Ferrari fleet. To achieve this ambitious goal, he teams up with driver Ken Miles (Bale) to build a vehicle that can propel Ford to pole position in the grueling Le Mans endurance race.

‘The Fugitive’ (1993)

Based on the 1960s TV series of the same name, this 1993 action-thriller is a favorite of dads everywhere. It’s a Harrison Ford vehicle that pulled in strong box office figures in theaters and went on to be nominated for seven Oscars (including Best Picture), with Tommy Lee Jones taking home the Best Supporting Actor award. If you want some excitement this Father’s Day, “The Fugitive” delivers timeless thrills and tension.

Richard Kimble (Ford) is a surgeon in Chicago, stunned when he’s arrested and accused of murdering his beloved wife, Helen (Sela Ward). Sentenced to death, he manages to escape custody while being transferred to prison. Rather than disappear, he’s determined to find the true killer and clear his name. In response, U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard (Lee Jones) leads a manhunt to locate Kimble. It’s a cat-vs-mouse game with high stakes.

‘Bull Durham’ (1988)

You can’t talk about dad movies without Kevin Costner being in the conversation. Heck, for many fathers, this entire list could be a roundup of the best Costner movies, and I reckon they’d be more than happy to watch them all. The competition here was fierce, but I’ve gone with 1988’s “Bull Durham” because of its setting in the world of baseball and because it offers a genuinely sweet romance between Costner and Susan Sarandon.

Costner plays Lawrence “Crash” Davis, a veteran catcher, hired by the Durham Bulls, a struggling minor league team, to mentor their hotshot rookie pitcher (Tim Robbins), said to have a “million dollar arm, and a five cent head.” Their coach-player relationship starts rocky and becomes even more complicated when they both get involved with the same woman, Annie (Sarandon), a “baseball groupie” who picks one player each season to be her lover.

‘Rocky’ (1976)

“Rocky” is a movie that needs no introduction; it’s one of the finest sports films ever made. It turned Sylvester Stallone into a bankable movie star (well deserved after he struggled to get the film made), and the franchise is still going strong with the recent “Creed” trilogy starring Michael B. Jordan. It’s a movie that will have you fist-pumping in satisfaction and is perhaps the ultimate underdog story. Plus, you just cannot beat that iconic theme tune!

The titular Rocky Balboa (Stallone) is a no-name boxer working as a collector for a loan shark, but he's got big dreams. When the reigning world heavyweight champion, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), offers the chance for a local contender to face him, Rocky gets his big shot. Rocky’s training for the fight of his life comes at the same time he begins a relationship and starts to fall for Adrian (Taila Shire).

Watch "Rocky" on Netflix now

‘The Martian’ (2015)

“The Martin” is a more unconventional pick, perhaps, but in my mind it’s got big dad movie energy. It’s based on the popular Andy Weir novel (the same author behind “Project Hail Mary”), and sees Matt Damon — clearly, he loves starring in dad movies — and is all about a battle for survival on the Red Planet. With a strong cast, great direction from Ridley Scott and an engrossing narrative, it’s a two-and-a-half-hour movie that flies by.

During a botched attempt to abort a mission on Mars, astronaut Mark Watney (Damon) is presumed dead and left behind on the planet’s red surface. Now stranded in a hostile environment, Watney must find a way to contact NASA so they can begin the daunting task of bringing him home, but first, he has to figure out how to survive on the hostile Mars.

Amaze! Amaze! Amaze! The sci-fi blockbuster "Project Hail Mary" is finally on streaming, bringing Ryan Gosling and Rocky's bromance to an entirely new audience that didn't catch one of this year's biggest movies in theaters.

If you've already finished watching "Project Hail Mary" and are looking for more sci-fi movies that aren't total downers or nightmare fuel, you're in luck. While MGM+ doesn't have a ton of genre entries, I've scrounged up a few that make for a perfect weekend feature without spoiling the good vibes.

If you're looking to keep that same thrilling, "science-your-way-out-of-this" energy alive, these are the movies to check out next. So establish first contact from the comfort of your couch and dive into our top MGM+ picks to watch after "Project Hail Mary."

'Landscape With Invisible Hand' (2023)

For another sci-fi movie with plenty of quirky charm, look no further than "Landscape With Invisible Hand," one of the most slept-on movies of 2023. Years after a benevolent alien species known as the Vuvv takes control of Earth, humanity is still struggling to adjust. While their advanced technology promised a brighter future initially, in practice, it's left most people unemployed and dependent on their new overlords.

Looking for a way to make ends meet, teenage artist Adam Campbell (Asante Blackk) and his girlfriend Chloe Marsh (Kylie Rogers) discover that the Vuvv are fascinated by human courtship. The pair capitalize on this by livestreaming their relationship and charging the aliens to watch. The money pours in, but when their real-life romance starts to fall apart, Adam and Chloe make some absurd sacrifices to keep their families afloat.

'Arrival’ (2016)

When 12 mysterious alien spacecraft suddenly surround Earth, the U.S. government taps expert linguist Louise Banks (Amy Adams) to help establish communication — and you know Duolingo ain't gonna cut it. As she works to decipher the aliens' language, world powers scramble to understand whether they're dealing with friends or foes, and that paranoia threatens to spark an international crisis.

From there, "Arrival's" conventional first-contact set-up soon morphs into something far more profound. As Louise works to decode the aliens' intricate language, her perception of reality shifts, revealing shocking truths about time, memory, and destiny. Its nonlinear narrative rewards repeat viewings, while Adams' melancholic and quietly powerful performance punches you right in the gut.

Watch "Arrival" on MGM+ now

'The Martian' (2015)

A bit of an obvious pick, but I had to include Andy Weir's other sci-fi hit story, "The Martian," on this list. Similar to "Project Hail Mary," it largely revolves around a single determined scientist, this time with Matt Damon in the lead as botanist Mark Watney, who defies the odds to survive. When a dust storm strikes during a mission on Mars, he's struck by debris and separated from his crew.

Believing he didn't survive, the team evacuates the planet and leaves him behind, stranded on a hostile world with limited supplies and no clear way home. Back on Earth, NASA discovers that Mark is still alive, sparking a race against time to bring him back. As scientists and engineers work tirelessly to devise a rescue plan, Mark's forced to rely on his wit, ingenuity, and a lot of potatoes to stay alive long enough for help to arrive.

It's a sunny summer Saturday, but if you're trying to beat the heat indoors, the best streaming services are serving up plenty of new options to fill your watchlist. Granted, when you're spoiled for choice, narrowing down what to watch next can become yet another chore plaguing your weekend.

That's why I'm here once again to help you skip the scrolling and get to streaming with a round-up of buzz-worthy movies that are actually worth the hype. Taking a look at the Netflix top 10 this week, and it looks like people are escaping the depressing news cycle with some nostalgia picks, namely the "Percy Jackson" movies from the early 2010s. Hey, whatever gets you through these unprecedented times, my dudes.

I wanted to shine a light on more recent releases for anyone looking for something new to watch. The movies that made the cut this weekend include a shocking true crime documentary, a heart-warming musical biopic, and a stunning animated adventure from the studio that made "K-Pop Demon Hunters."

This article is based on Netflix's top 10 movies list in the U.S. as of 11:00 a.m. ET on Saturday, June 20, 2026.

Best movies in the Netflix top 10

'Maternal Instinct' (2026)

Netflix subscribers and true crime go together like peanut butter and jelly, so I'm not surprised to see the shocking story of Reagan Simmons-Hancock's murder still holding strong in the #1 spot. It's one of the wildest cases I've ever heard, and I watch a lot of true crime documentaries. "Maternal Instinct" tells the tragic tale of her murder at the hands of Taylor Parker, a young woman who will stop at nothing to build a family with her boyfriend Wade Griffin, a hog trapper from a small Texas town.

When a state trooper pulls Taylor over in 2020, she claims that she'd just given birth to her newborn baby in her car — and there's not a speck of blood in sight. Her story quickly falls apart, and an investigation brings to light the horrifying lengths she would go to in her desperation to become a mother. The case is as tragic as it is shocking, unfolding in horrifying detail through interviews with authorities and family members and friends of both women.

'Song Sung Blue' (2025)

Inspired by a heartfelt true story, "Song Sung Blue" is a must-watch biopic whether you're a fan of Neil Diamond or not. Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson deliver some of the best performances of their career as Mike and Claire, a pair of aspiring performers who find love and purpose through their Neil Diamond tribute act. Equal parts crowd-pleasing musical and underdog drama, it's got plenty of heart and ear worms to keep your attention.

The pair first cross paths at a Wisconsin State Fair impersonator showcase and quickly strike up a partnership. As their act gets popular and their family grows, life throws plenty of challenges their way, including a devastating accident and struggles with alcoholism. While the story follows a recognizable rise-and-fall framework, the warmth and chemistry between Jackman and Hudson give "Song Sung Blue" a healthy helping of charm, making it an uplifting watch from start to finish.

'Goat' (2026)

Even if you're not a huge animation nerdlike me, odds are you're familiar with Sony Pictures Animation, the studio behind behind last year's global sensation "K-Pop Demon Hunters" and the "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" movies. The Oscar-winning studio is back with "Goat," another visually stunning adventure with an equally impressive voice cast, including "Stranger Things" stars Caleb McLaughlin and David Harbour, Aaron Pierre, Nicola Coughlan, Patton Oswalt, Jelly Roll, and Stephen Curry.

In a sports-focused twist on "Zootopia," "Goat" follows a small goat with big dreams (McLaughlin) of going pro in Roarball, a high-intensity cross between basketball and rugby where only the animal kingdom's fiercest predators make it out on top. When he finally earns a shot at the big leagues, his underdog journey topples the sport’s long-standing belief that smalls don’t belong on the court.

“Beavis and Butt-Head” is the product of such a specific cultural moment that it may seem difficult to imagine the animated title characters continuing to exist in the 2020s. I had that same skepticism when the feature film “Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe” was announced in 2021, and even more so when it was announced that a new “Beavis and Butt-Head” series would follow the movie. While “Do the Universe” got a decent amount of attention when it was released on Paramount+, the series that launched a couple of months later hasn’t made nearly the same impact.

That’s disappointing because the return of “Beavis and Butt-Head” has delivered on the promise of “Do the Universe,” mixing the duo’s classic idiocy with updated buffoonery for the modern age. Maybe the show hasn’t quite found its audience on Paramount+ or linear cable channel Comedy Central, where the most recent third season initially premiered.

But the first two reboot seasons are now available on Netflix, and anyone who didn’t know that Beavis and Butt-Head are back can finally check out the hilariously moronic adventures they’ve been missing.

The appeal of ‘Beavis and Butt-Head’ is timeless

Creator Mike Judge launched “Beavis and Butt-Head” with a short segment on MTV’s animated anthology series “Liquid Television” in 1992, and the show remains an indelible part of ’90s pop culture, especially via the music videos that the duo of dim-witted teenagers would mock during interstitial segments. While the original show ended in 1997, Judge already produced a one-season return in 2011, proving that he could keep the characters fresh for any era.

Of course, “fresh” is a relative term for the limited worldview of the crass best friends (both voiced by Judge) living in the suburban wasteland of Highland, Texas. The new episodes don’t deviate from Beavis and Butt-Head’s familiar fixations on setting things on fire, ineptly attempting to “score” with “chicks,” and eating nachos.

Those crude desires are just as applicable now as they were 30 years ago, but Judge still shakes things up by also featuring middle-aged versions of Beavis and Butt-Head in some adventures, along with the alternate-dimension “smart” versions that debuted in “Do the Universe.”

Although “Do the Universe” explicitly placed the teenage characters in the ’90s before transporting them to the 2020s, the reboot exists in an eternal present, no matter the age or dimensional status of the characters. Adult Beavis and Butt-Head have not matured, and their lives are even more hilariously pathetic — and sadly indicative of the state of American society.

Judge has always been able to blend social commentary with consistent smart-stupid humor, and the new “Beavis and Butt-Head” is still laugh-out-loud funny, whether it’s sending up Christian missionaries or just finding new ways to give the title characters horrific physical injuries.

‘Beavis and Butt-Head’ is as clever and funny as it’s always been

My favorite recent “Beavis and Butt-Head” episodes are the ones that take the characters in weirdly philosophical directions, as when Beavis encounters the living embodiment of his beloved fire, or has an identity crisis when a new student also named Beavis joins their school. Judge and his collaborators find ways to explore larger issues in the context of the stupidest people alive doing the stupidest things imaginable, and that makes them even more profound.

For anyone who grew up on Beavis and Butt-Head’s mockery of music videos, the new series also cleverly updates those segments, mixing current music video clips with snippets of videos from YouTube and social media. Beavis and Butt-Head are just as savage about modern pop stars as they were about the chart-toppers of the ’90s, but now they also have the opportunity to take down self-promoting influencers and inane YouTube stunts. It’s the perfect evolution of a key element of the show, balancing the classic approach with something that makes sense for the present moment.

That kind of balance is what makes the new “Beavis and Butt-Head” so successful. As he’s done with his equally strong revival of “King of the Hill” on Hulu, Judge preserves everything that worked about the original show and moves it carefully into a new era. I admit that I get a hit of nostalgia while watching Beavis and Butt-Head, still clad in their Metallica and AC/DC T-shirts, terrorize their military-veteran neighbor Tom Anderson or antagonize their hippie teacher Mr. Van Driessen.

But if nostalgia was the only thing that “Beavis and Butt-Head” had to offer, it would wear out its welcome quickly. After three seasons of the reboot, I’m still eager to see what these dumbasses do next.

Netflix adds new movies to its already sizeable library every single month, but at the same time, it also removes some old favorites to make room. It's called "content churn," and it's an unavoidable trend across all the best streaming services.

While the new additions tend to get the spotlight, it's worth taking some time to look over the movies set to leave Netflix as well. After all, in just a few days, these movies will wave goodbye and won't be available to stream anymore (well, not available on stream on Netflix, at least).

I've combed through Netflix's confirmed slate of movies leaving the platform at the end of June 2026 and picked out a trio you should place at the top of your watchlist. Watch these great movies while you still can.

'Deepwater Horizon' (2016)

Mark Wahlberg headlines this disaster thriller based on the true story of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion. The movie’s real-life inspiration grounds the on-screen events, helping the emotional beats really hit home. The impressive effects are a highlight, and even if the character work is fairly pedestrian, “Deepwater Horizon” will have you invested quickly.

On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling rig exploded, instantly killing multiple crew members and leaving the survivors in a dangerous situation as flames engulfed the installation. The movie version of events follows technician Mike Williams (Wahlberg) as he attempts to lead his colleagues to safety while battling against the chaos. Also starring Kurt Russell, John Malkovich, Dylan O'Brien and Kate Hudson, “Deepwater Horizon” may have struggled at the box office, but it’s worth watching before it waves goodbye to Netflix.

Watch "Deepwater Horizon" on Netflix until July 1

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)

When a reboot/sequel to 1995’s “Jumanji” was announced, I can’t exactly say I had high hopes. So color me (pleasantly) shocked when the end result, “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,” proved to be an entertaining popcorn blockbuster. This big-budget follow-up is heaps of fun and does a great job of paying respect to its predecessor, while taking the franchise in a slightly new direction. Plus, it stars The Rock at the peak of his powers.

Set a couple of decades after the first “Jumnaji,” four high schoolers are given detention, where they discover an old video game system and a cartridge bearing the Jumnaji name. Booting up the game, they are sucked into a virtual jungle, becoming their chosen in-game avatars (played by Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan and Jack Black). To escape the jungle and return to the real world, they’ll need to complete the game before they run out of lives.

Watch "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" on Netflix until July 1

My Girl (1991)

Anybody who has seen “My Girl” can attest that this coming-of-age comedy is both deeply heartwarming and emotionally devastating. I won’t reveal any spoilers here, but let’s just say it’s one of only a handful of movies that have produced a genuine tear from me. Starring a host of ‘90s favourites including Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis and Macaulay Culkin, it’s a family movie at its heart, but with a sobering edge that makes it an even richer watch.

11-year-old Vada Sultenfuss (Anna Chlumsky) is raised by her widowed father (Aykroyd) after her mother died in childbirth. This tragedy and her father’s work in a funeral parlor have led to Vada becoming something of a hypochondriac. Her world is turned upside down when her father begins dating a new woman, Shelly (Lee Curtis), and along with some help from her best friend, Tommy J. (Culkin), she attempts to break them up.

• 5 new Netflix movies and shows you need to stream this week

Father’s Day weekend means one thing: getting my dad to choose a movie. It’s become something of a tradition for us, even alongside our regular trips to the theater each week. Still, there’s something a bit more wholesome about staying in and watching a proper “dad movie” at home. When put on the spot this year, he picked “Land of Bad,” an action-thriller currently streaming on Netflix. Clearly, he went straight for something intense and action-heavy, as expected.

“Land of Bad” is essentially the perfect dad movie. Not only does it star Russell Crowe, but it has enough action to keep your adrenaline spiked, and it very much leans into a tactile feel heavily influenced by classic survival films like “Predator.” While its theatrical run was relatively quiet (grossing around $7 million), the movie found a massive second life on streaming, particularly after landing on Netflix in 2024. So even though I’m not the biggest action fan, I was still very curious about watching this film.

If you’re stuck on what to watch for Father’s Day weekend, or simply need a tense film to add to your watchlist, here’s everything to know about the action-thriller “Land of Bad.”

What is ‘Land of Bad’ about?

“Land of Bad” follows Sergeant JJ Kinney (Liam Hemsworth), a newly assigned Joint Terminal Attack Controller, during a high-stakes extraction mission in the southern Philippines.

When his Delta Force team is brutally ambushed by militants, Kinney becomes the sole survivor on the ground, trapped deep within enemy territory. His only lifeline is Reaper (Russell Crowe), a tech-weary drone pilot operating from an Air Force base in Las Vegas.

As Kinney works his way through the treacherous jungle, hunted by a ruthless extremist group, Reaper serves as his eyes in the sky. Over a tense forty-eight-hour window, Reaper has to orchestrate precision air strikes and guide Kinney toward a distant extraction point before it’s too late.

‘Land of Bad’ a tense military thriller made for dad viewing

A dad movie is often defined as an easy-to-watch, reliably satisfying film that aims to provide popcorn-style entertainment over anything experimental. For that very reason, action movies tend to be the most popular pick, so I thought I already knew what kind of movie “Land of Bad” would be when we first discovered it on Netflix. However, William Eubank’s film turned out to be a truly gripping ride.

That all comes down to how it tells its story, splitting between Hemsworth’s character’s life-or-death survival in the wilderness and the everyday civilian atmosphere of an Air Force command centre thousands of miles away. It’s certainly a unique contrast for a war film considering many focus on the camaraderie between men in such a dangerous situation, but “Land of Bad” makes this scenario feel a little more isolating. Even more so when Sergeant Kinney is left alone in the rugged jungles of the Gold Coast for much of the film.

“Land of Bad” doesn’t bring much new to the war-action genre, and its twists are fairly predictable, so the story itself doesn’t always do much to keep you invested. Instead, the film holds your attention through its performances, leaning on the long-distance dynamic between Hemsworth and Crowe’s characters, which at times feels more like a character drama played out over comms. Crowe is largely confined to a chair, watching events unfold on a monitor, yet still delivers what ends up being the film’s strongest performance.

For dads though, “Land of Bad” succeeds as an entertaining thriller thanks to its brutal action sequences and hand-to-hand combat (since my dad adores “John Wick,” he’s always been a fan of that fighting style). There’s a strong sense of urgency running through the action, which keeps the stakes feeling consistently high. Overall, “Land of Bad” is not particularly memorable, but it still packs in plenty of tension, practical set-pieces, and explosions to remain consistently compelling. Fans of action-thrillers, including dads, should enjoy it.

• 3 best new to Netflix movies to stream this weekend
• Everything new on Netflix in June 2026
• When is 'Disclosure Day' streaming? Our best guess

We're in the full swing of summer now, and some of the biggest streaming services are serving up new movies to watch, including Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video and more. Leading the pack this week is "Project Hail Mary" on MGM+, Ryan Gosling's sci-fi blockbuster that's charming as all get out. Seriously, it lives up to the hype, though I'm not sure if its dazzling space sequences will make the same impression on the small screen.

For some lighter fare, Netflix just got a breezy new rom-com, "Voicemails for Isabelle," starring Zoey Deutch and Nick Robinson, while families looking for a weekend movie night pick can find the latest Spongebob Squarepants movie new on Prime Video. Over on Hulu, you can check out "Never Change!," an unconventional high school comedy with a premise that'll make anyone over 30 break out in a cold sweat. Lastly, Netflix also got a more dramatic comedy romance movie, "Drinking Buddies," that's stuck with me for over a decade. Plus, it has "New Girl's" Jake Johnson, who's just as swoon-worthy as Ryan Gosling to a small sub-sect of weirdos (namely, me).

So without further ado, let's dive into the best new movies on streaming to watch this weekend.

‘Project Hail Mary’ (MGM+)

Amaze! Amaze! Amaze! This year's biggest sci-fi sensation, "Project Hail Mary," is now streaming. Ryan Gosling proves he can charm the socks off of audiences even in space as the woefully out of his league Ryland Grace, a disgraced scientist turned middle school teacher turned humanity's reluctant savior.

Upstaging him is Rocky, an endearing alien brought to life through James Ortiz's voice work and puppetry. Rocky's a chattering little ball of chaos that tests Grace's last nerve, and their friendship forms the heart of the film as these two dorks rush to save their respective planets from sun-eating bacteria. That levity helps to balance out the nail-bitingly tense space walks that had me watching through my fingers in theaters.

‘Voicemails for Isabelle’ (Netflix)

It's hardly summer without a splashy new rom-com from Netflix, and "Voicemails for Isabelle" has all the makings of a breezy weekend watch, if not the next Netflix No. 1 hit. Zoey Deutch stars as a grieving woman struggling with the loss of her sister, who keeps leaving voicemails on her late sibling's phone. (Listen, grief is weird like that, ok?)

When those messages unexpectedly reach a stranger (Nick Robinson), it kickstarts a cross-country meet-cute that could blossom into just the kind of relationship that they both need to heal. While the premise has all the makings of a rom-com, its exploration of grief and sisterhood gives the story a warmer emotional center than your standard fare.

Watch ‘Voicemails for Isabelle’ on Netflix

'Never Change!' (Hulu)

Hulu's new original comedy "Never Change!" realizes every adult's worst nightmare: being forced to go back to high school years after the fact. Written by and starring John Reynolds, it follows a group of former classmates who must return home and finally complete their senior year after a tornado abruptly ended it the first time around.

Though they may be grown up now, returning to the halls of their old high school quickly brings old rivalries, old crushes, and plenty of teenage drama rushing back to the surface. With a cast that includes Sofia Black-D’Elia, Carmen Christopher, Jo Firestone, Topher Grace, and Ana Gasteyer, it looks like the kind of delightfully chaotic reunion that I'd never want to attend but am delighted to watch from the safety of my couch.

'The Spongebob Movie: Search for Squarepants' (Prime Video)

Are ya ready, kids? This week, "The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants" made the jump to Prime Video from one of the smaller platforms, MGM+ (though it could see an influx of subscribers with the arrival of "Project Hail Mary"), and it should make for a crowd-pleasing family favorite this weekend.

In SpongeBob's fourth big-screen adventure, the beloved fry cook (voiced by Tom Kenny) is determined to shake off his reputation as a scaredy-cat. To prove his mettle, he sets out on a swashbuckling journey with the Flying Dutchman (Mark Hamill), a ghostly pirate whose promises are about as trustworthy as you'd expect. It's a goofy, action-packed underwater adventure packed with the franchise's signature humor.

'Drinking Buddies' (Netflix)

"Drinking Buddies" is a comedy-drama that's stuck with me over the years because it feels like people watching: the movie. It captures the beauty of a mundane life, not in the usual polished Hollywood sense, but in a way that feels lived-in and authentic. There are no sweeping romantic resolutions or dramatic confrontations that magically tie everything up in a neat little bow. The characters work through their problems the best they know how, messiness and all, and simply keep on keeping on.

At the center are Kate (Olivia Wilde) and Luke (Jake Johnson), two slackers who share an easy chemistry built on long workdays and a concerning amount of day drinking. Both already have partners (Ron Livingston and Anna Kendrick, respectively) and dutifully ignore their mutual attraction. That is, until one fateful weekend, when a getaway drags up everything they've left unsaid.
