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.

So let's dive into it. Here are all the new shows and movies (and live events) you can stream tonight (September 8), and where to watch them. For more picks, check out our review of "Slow Horses" season 6.

Top shows and movies to stream tonight
'Mutiny' (2026) (PVOD)
Genre: Action thriller movie
What's it about? "Mutiny" stars Jason Statham as Cole Reed. He's a former London police officer and the head of security for KMG CEO Tibu Campallo (Ramon Tikaram) until he's framed for the shipping magnate's murder. Now, he's on a quest for vengeance against his boss's killers, but first he has to put an end to a human trafficking ring he stumbles across.
Why you should watch it: Do you like watching Jason Statham kill bad guys? Do you like watching Jason Statham kill bad guys on a ship? If you answered yes, then you need to watch "Mutiny."

'The Varnell Hill Show' season 1 (Paramount+)
Genre: Workplace comedy series
What it's about: Tommy Davidson charmed audiences as the larger-than-life talk show host Varnell Hill in the iconic sitcom "Martin." Now, decades after that beloved show, Davidson is back as Hill, and he's fighting to stay relevant in the ever-changing landscape of late-night television.
Why you should watch it: If you liked "Martin," you will certainly want to check out "The Varnell Hill Show." But even if you never saw the 90s sitcom, come for Davidson, who is hilarious with or without Martin Lawrence.

'Stavros Halkias: Uncle Stav' (Netflix)
Genre: Stand-up comedy special
What it's about: Stavros Halkias is one of Baltimore's favorite sons. Tonight, he's bringing his hometown to Netflix. In "Uncle Stav," he and director Matt Johnson, who directed Halkias in "Tony," are bringing a brand-new hour-long special, filmed at The Lyric theater in Baltimore. Expect topics like a family member coming out to a grandmother with memory issues, why we need more riots and more.
Why you should watch it: As a Maryland native myself, I'm proud to promote Halkias's work. I'd do it for free, and I'd do it even if it weren't always excellent. Luckily for me, Halkias is always excellent, so I can easily recommend this hour-long special as time well spent.
