Top shows and movies to stream tonight
'Leanne' season 2 (Netflix)
Genre: Situational comedy series
What's it about? Leanne Morgan stars in this Netflix sitcom as Leanne. Now, she's not playing herself. Instead, she's a newly single woman, and her sister, Carol (Kristen Johnston), is determined to get her back in the dating game. In this season, Leanne's dating life isn't her only problem. She's also dealing with her parents moving in with her and the renewed presence of her (now ex) husband (Ryan Stiles).
Why you need to watch it: If you like network sitcoms like "Two and a Half Men" and "The Big Bang Theory," then "Leanne" is for you. Especially because it comes from the mind of Chuck Lorre, who created all three shows mentioned in the previous sentence.

'Adults' season 2 premiere (Hulu)
Genre: Situational comedy series
What it's about: "Adults" centers on a group of young friends: Samir (Malik Elassal), Billie (Lucy Freyer), Paul Baker (Jack Innanen), Issa (Amita Rao), and Anton (Owen Thiele). They're young and struggling to navigate the challenges of being an adult. They're also all living together in Samir's childhood home, and that sometimes proves tricky.
Why you should watch it: This show definitely has "Girls" vibes, and it knows it. In the trailer, Zosia Mamet, who starred in the now-iconic HBO comedy-drama series, even references this close resemblance, saying, "You think you're the first ones to be young and adorable in New York?" So, if shows like "Girls" speak to you, "Adults" needs to be on your watchlist tonight.

'The Undeclared War' season 2 (Peacock)
Genre: Thriller series
What's it about? In season 1 of "The Undeclared War," a Russian cyberattack took down part of the U.K. internet. That crisis was ultimately diffused, but just as Danny Patrick's (Simon Pegg) team at the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) are recovering, they're seemingly hit with betrayal and treason from one of their own.
Why you need to watch it: In season 1, the focus was more on Hannah Khalique-Brown as student intern Saara Parvin, and her Russian counterpart, but this season the show seems to be all in on Simon Pegg's Patrick. It gives off vibes of "The Agency," but if it were a network TV show rather than a prestige TV show. Still, it looks like fun, and it's a brief six-episode binge-watch.
