When it comes to deciding what to watch, it can get overwhelming. Fast. There are so many options out there. Even if you keep it to just the best streaming services, there are dozens of new shows and movies added every day. Lucky for you, it's my job to know exactly what's out there. So I've compiled a TV guide on what to watch tonight.
I've gone through everything from Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, etc. I've scoured the best free streaming services like Tubi. I've even added some movies you might have missed in theaters that are finally available to buy or rent to stream at home.
So let's dive into it. Here are all the new movies and shows (and live events) you can stream tonight (September 16), and where to watch them. For more picks, check out these three thriller movies streaming right now on Paramount+.

Top shows and movies to stream tonight
'Reacher' season 4 finale (Prime Video)
Genre: Crime thriller series
What's it about? Alan Ritchson is back as the titular Jack Reacher. In season 4, he's investigating the death of a woman (Karen Kwong-Chip) that he witnessed in a Philadelphia subway car. That investigation has taken Reacher, a Philadelphia cop (Sydelle Noel) and the woman's brother (Christopher Rodriguez Marquette) into a conspiracy that has them dodging mercenaries, international assassins and the CIA.
Why you need to watch it: I reviewed the "Reacher" season 4 premiere for Tom's Guide, and I also reviewed the "Reacher" season 4 finale that just dropped today. Over eight episodes, this show has stuck to what it does best: letting Alan Ritchson beat people up first and ask questions later.

'Neagley' season 1 (Prime Video)
Genre: Crime thriller series
What's it about? A spin-off of "Reacher," this new crime thriller features Maria Sten reprising in the titular role. As a private investigator in Chicago, Frances Neagley is used to dealing with the worst of the worst. But the sudden death of a friend has her dealing with a pair of villains committing acts worse than one could even imagine.
Why you need to watch it: In my review of "Neagley" season 1, which just dropped all eight of its episodes today, I praised the new series for keeping Jack Reacher (mostly) out of it. But even with him not around, this show feels a lot like just another chapter of "Reacher," for better and worse.

'Slow Horses' season 6 premiere (Apple TV)
Genre: Spy thriller series
What's it about? In this season of "Slow Horses," the members of Slough House (past and present) find themselves hunted down by an unknown force. After a few unexpected deaths, spymaster Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) and his band of rejects try to uncover who is behind the attacks. Complicating things is the return of River's (Jack Lowden) father, Frank Harkness (Hugo Weaving), a CIA asset turned contract killer who could definitely be behind the deaths.
Why you need to watch it: I've already seen "Slow Horses" season 6 in full, including today's season 6 premiere, and I promise you, this show is worth a watch. It's not afraid to kill its darlings, and it's easily one of the 10 best shows I've seen all year.
