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, Peacock, 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 9), and where to watch them. For more picks, check out these Prime Video thriller movies you can stream right now.

Top shows and movies to stream tonight
'The Paper' season 2 (Peacock)
Genre: Mockumentary sitcom series
What's it about? "The Paper" centers around the Toledo Truth Teller, a small newspaper based in Toledo, Ohio. Normally, this small media outlet wouldn't garner much attention, but the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin in "The Office" has made it — and the paper's new editor-in-chief (Domhnall Gleeson) — their next subject.
Why you need to watch it: If you liked "The Office," this mockumentary is the same premise, just a different setting. People seem to like it too. Season 2 currently has an 85% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 76 on Metacritic, the latter of which is an improvement over season 1.

'Last Seen' premiere (Apple TV)
Genre: Australian thriller miniseries
What's it about? Ian (Patrick Brammall) is an emergency dispatcher whose daughter went missing 11 years ago. But one night, he gets a call from a woman named Sarah (Chloe Jean Lourdes). Things take a shocking turn during their interaction when Sarah reveals her name might actually be Mags — Ian's daughter's name.
Why you need to watch it: This looks like a gripping thriller with a simple yet compelling premise. Apple has successfully produced similar thriller miniseries in the past, so I'm hopeful this one knocks it out of the park as well. So far, things seem promising; "Last Seen" is currently 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

'Reacher' season 4 (Prime Video)
Genre: Crime thriller series
What's it about? Alan Ritchson is back for another round 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. Now, Reacher, a Philadelphia cop (Tamara Green) and the woman's brother (Christopher Rodriguez Marquette) are trying to learn why she took her own life. They just have to steer clear of the CIA and other deadly operators.
Why you need to watch it: I reviewed the "Reacher" season 4 premiere for Tom's Guide, and I've enjoyed the episodes that have come since. The show sticks to what made the past three seasons a success, and Ritchson has never been more perfectly cast as the hulking yet witty Jack Reacher.
