When you've got a case of the Sunday scaries, sometimes the best cure is a cozy movie and a few hours of pretending Monday doesn't exist. Luckily, Paramount+ has plenty of feel-good options to help you squeeze a little more joy out of the weekend before it's over.

Paramount+ added over 120 new movies in September — and, of course, the highly anticipated second season of "MobLand" — but you don't need to go searching to figure out what to watch. Let me do the hard work for you.

I’ve rounded up three movies that make particularly good Sunday-night viewing: "Blue Eyed Girl" for a bittersweet dose of midlife introspection, "Clue" for a wildly funny murder mystery drenched in nostalgia, and "You’ve Got Mail" for the ultimate warm-and-fuzzy rom-com comfort watch. These movies are perfect for keeping those Monday blues at bay, so let's dive into the best feel-good movies on Paramount+ to watch right now.

'Blue Eyed Girl' (2025)

I'm adamant that a "feel good" movie doesn't have to mean shallow; so long as you walk away feeling lighter than you started, I argue there's plenty of room to explore the messier side of being human in 90 minutes while still ending things on a positive note. "Blue Eyed Girl" gets that, balancing love, loss, and laughter in a tender homecoming story grounded in the recognizable charm of Minneapolis streets.

This midlife coming-of-age dramedy stars Marisa Coughlan as Jane, a Minneapolis native who puts her successful Hollywood career on hold to head home and take care of her father (Beau Bridges) after his latest suicide attempt. She bickers with her sisters (Elia Coupe, Bridey Elliott), bumps into an old high school fame (Sam Trammell), and navigates the liminal space between youth and middle age, where “what could have been” meets “what is," learning to love herself through it all.

'Clue' (1985)

Ok, so it's not a feel-good movie in the traditional sense, but this movie never fails to put a big ol' smile on my face, so I think that counts! Plus, I'm sure I'm not alone in still grieving Tim Curry, and he's iconic as "Clue's" kooky but lovable butler Wadsworth. Based on the board game of the same name, "Clue" brings six strangers together for a dinner party at a secluded New England mansion hosted by Wadsworth and the soon-to-be-deceased Mr. A. Boddy (get it?).

The guests — Colonel Mustard (Martin Mull), Mrs. Peacock (Eileen Brennan), Professor Plum (Christopher Lloyd) and Mrs. White (Madeline Kahn) — soon find themselves the prime suspects, especially after more bodies start turning up. Cracking the case won't be easy. A fun fact about this movie: There are multiple endings for how its core mystery wraps up, which were initially screened at different cinema locations, but are now all included on the movie’s digital/streaming release.

'You've Got Mail' (1998)

Rom-coms are the Ford truck of feel-good movies: reliable, comforting, and somehow always able to haul your emotions out of whatever funk you're stuck in. One of the best rom-com pairings of all time, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, dominated the genre in the early 90s, following up "Sleepless in Seattle" with "You've Got Mail," a comforting hug in movie form that still feels surprisingly relevant, more than 20 years later.

The two play rival bookstore owners — she's the owner of a cozy, family-run shop while's he's a business executive of a major bookstore chain that just opened a new branch in her neighborhood. Unbeknownst to them, they have been anonymously exchanging emails under screen names, and begin falling for each other as they grow closer. Neither realizes the other’s true identity, but when the truth comes out, it threatens everything between them.

“Reacher” is not the best show ever made. It’s not even the best show on the air currently. I sometimes cringe when Reacher drops a cheesy, sarcastic line like “They didn’t say the magic word” or “They broke my toothbrush.”

What I can proclaim is that “Reacher” might be one of the few shows that understands the assignment. Through four seasons, it has mastered the action formula so well that it's one of the most enjoyable shows on television.

Fans just got more of the Reacherverse in “Neagley,” the spinoff series centered around Maria Sten’s Francis Neagley. And so far through the first half of the season, “Neagley” also understands the assignment.

'Reacher' believes in KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid

In the Reacherverse, simplicity is perfection. Jack Reacher, played by Alan Ritchson, is a drifter who fights for those who can’t defend themselves and delivers justice when he deems it necessary. His form of justice usually involves his fists, so the authorities typically have to look away since it’s not always legal.

Like P.A.C.E. in the excellent “Rebel Ridge,” “Reacher” is a show that believes in acronyms. The acronym you need to worry about right now is KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid. So many shows abandon what works and try to reinvent the wheel, leading to poorly received seasons later in a series’ run. “The Walking Dead,” “Arrested Development,” and “Killing Eve” delivered excellent initial seasons before driving full speed off a cliff during later seasons.

It’s certainly an oversimplification of the plot and the show’s core mystery at the center of every season. However, I don’t think my synopsis is too far off from what happened to Reacher in Georgia, New York/New Jersey, Maine, and Philadelphia.

“Reacher” reminds me of a cop or medical show that runs in prime time on broadcast television. There might be a few surprises along the way, but for the most part, it’s a similar plot every season, featuring the same protagonists battling new antagonists.

And you know what? That is a tried-and-true method that has worked for 50 years, and it will likely work for 50 more as long as AI hasn’t replaced us yet.

Escapism at its finest

I don’t watch “Reacher” to be lectured about the world. I can turn on the news or listen to a podcast if I want to check in on current events. That’s not to say “Reacher” is apolitical. It may not deliberately pick a side, but the show revolves around an old-school lawman who distrusts politicians and the government. When the system fails, Reacher takes matters into his own hands. That’s not how our world works, but there’s satisfaction in watching a TV show about a guy who walks around with his toothbrush, solving problems with his fists.

“Reacher” is my perfect form of escapism. All you have to think about is the mystery. Who is responsible for this wrongdoing, and who will Reacher have to kill to get answers? Simple enough. I don’t need to spend hours on Reddit learning about the Targaryen family lineage in “House of the Dragon” or reading about the physics of parallel universes in “Dark Matter.”

That is unnecessary in “Reacher.” In season 1, Jack Reacher is arrested for murder upon arrival in Margrave, Georgia. Reacher must find out who framed him for murder and get to the bottom of this conspiracy. It's short, sweet, and to the point.

You know what else is good about escapism? You can suspend disbelief during the action sequences. Reacher is a more athletic version of Paul Bunyan who happens to be awesome at hand-to-hand combat. Reacher never loses a fight, but unlike Vin Diesel in the "Fast & Furious" saga, Ritchson is willing to take some damage to give off the illusion that he might be defeated.

Reacher will pull rabbits out of a hat every episode. You just have to accept it. In Season 3, Reacher somehow became an Olympic swimmer and pulled off an ocean swim despite heavy currents. Hang off a helicopter? Reacher does it with ease. Kicking a car to set off an airbag? No problem. Yet I find myself the most offended by Reacher’s innate ability to sprint in boots. He’d beat Usain Bolt in a race if both had to wear Timberland boots.

'Neagley' looks to carry the torch

If you ever wanted to see a female version of “Reacher,” you'll get that with “Neagley.” The series revolves around Francis Neagley, a security professional who served with Reacher in the Army. She’s likely Reacher’s only friend, too.

While working as a private investigator in Chicago, Neagley gets pulled into a mysterious case that ends with the death of her childhood friend. Neagley teams up with a local detective (Greyston Holt) to investigate an enigmatic cult that likely played a hand in the death of her friend.

I’ve seen half the episodes, and if you feared that “Neagley” wouldn’t deliver, think again. It still hits the same beats of a “Reacher” episode: Neagley fights the bad guys, though she prefers to shoot a gun over hand-to-hand combat. She pulls rabbits out of her hat and constantly gets out of impossible situations. However, the show explores more of Neagley’s backstory, including her haphephobia.

“Reacher” and “Neagley” are television done right. Sign me up for double-digit seasons.

Watch "Reacher" and "Neagley" on Prime Video.

The rom-com genre is an enduring crowd favorite, and it keeps getting new entries every year. This past year has seen big-name titles like the Jennifer Lopez-led "Office Romance," Netflix's "People We Meet on Vacation" adaptation, the sci-fi romance "One Night Only," and more.

But that ever-expanding world of rom-coms can mean that you might have missed out on some fun and frisky flicks over the years. That's where Tom's Guide has come in. We've delved into Hulu's extensive streaming platform and pulled out three under-the-radar romantic comedies that are well worth a watch.

If you're looking for something lighthearted, swoon-worthy and with a feel-good ending, here are three rom-com movies on Hulu that you probably haven't seen but should add to your watch list.

'The Ultimate Playlist of Noise'

This 2021 Hulu original is of the musical rom-com tradition (think "Music & Lyrics," "Begin Again" and what have you)—Marcus Lund (Keean Johnson) is a high school senior who is obsessed with all things music and sound, and harbors a crush on a fellow singer, Wendy (Madeline Brewer).

After learning he must undergo brain surgery that will render him deaf, however, Marcus decides to embark on a cross-country road trip to record the Ultimate Playlist of Noise, an audio bucket list of all his favorite sounds before silence takes over, with Wendy joining in for the ride to New York City.

'Palm Springs'

The millennial answer to "Groundhog Day," this 2020 favorite stars Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti as two wedding guests—he, the carefree Nyles, and she, the depressed Sarah—who have a chance encounter at the Palm Springs-set nuptials of Sarah's half-sister.

They share a mutual attraction, but one that gets significantly more complicated when the duo discovers the next morning that they have been inadvertently sucked into a mysterious time loop, meaning they cannot escape the wedding nor each other.

"Strong performances, assured direction, and a refreshingly original concept make Palm Springs a romcom that's easy to fall in love with," praises the critical consensus over on Rotten Tomatoes, where the sci-fi-tinged romance has a stellar 94% approval rating. (J.K. Simmons, Meredith Hagner, Camila Mendes, Tyler Hoechlin, and Peter Gallagher also star.)

'Maybe I Do'

Now, we won't lie to you; this one wasn't loved by critics. (It earned a pretty abysmal 31% Rotten Tomatoes rating.) But just look at that splashy cast: Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Emma Roberts, Luke Bracey, William H. Macy, and the late, great Diane Keaton. We've undoubtedly gone soft in the wake of Keaton's passing, but we're never going to say no to watching the beloved actress delight in a genre she so excelled in.

The gist is this: With marriage on the brain, blossoming couple Michelle (Roberts) and Allen (Bracey) invite their parents to finally meet—only to make the horrifying discovery that their respective parents not only already know one another but also are secretly having affairs with each other.

Returning to Canada for the first time since 2003 this year’s road Worlds are based in and around the city of Montreal. There are 13 gold medals to be won over the week starting with the TT events on Sunday the 20th and ending with the Men’s road race a week later.

The TT courses are different though, based on the roads around the old town and the port.

All the World's best riders will be present from Demi Vollering and Lotte Kopecky to Remco Evenepoel and Tom Pidcock apart of course for one very big name, Tadej Pogačar after he crashed out of the Vuelta and was forced to end his season.

2026 UCI Road World Championships Preview

Kicking off the championships will be the Women’s Elite TT and starting as favourite on the predominantly flat course will be the 2025 World Champion Marlon Reusser. She will however have to hold off the challenge of Britain's rising star Zoe Bäckstedt, who at just 21 is 14 years younger than Reusser and riding the elite champs for the first time.

In the Men’s event later the same day you’d have to be crazy to bet against Remco Evenepoel, who is currently in a class of his own when it comes to the TT. Going for his 4th title in a row the only rider with a realistic chance of beating him is the Italian great Filippo Ganna, however the climb to the finish may just be too steep for him.

After the Elite TT’s on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday are for the U23, Junior and the mixed relay events run over various permutations of the roads used for the elite races.

With the TT medals awarded it’s time to begin the road races and these kick off with the Women’s Under 23 and Men’s Junior race on the Thursday followed by the Men’s U23 and Women’s Junior on the Friday. All covering different distances the one thing they have in common is the inclusion of the event's signature climb, the infamous Mount Royal.

After the warm up acts have finished it’s time for the show-piece events, the Elite Road Races. First up are the women on Saturday as they face 180 kilometres including 8 laps of the city centre circuit which means eight ascents of Mount Royal. Favourite to take the win, and her first rainbow bands is the Dutch rider Demi Vollering as she aims to cap a sensational season. The only riders in with a sniff of beating her are likely to be Paula Blasi, Elisa Longo Borghini and the 2025 Tour de France winner Kasia Niewiadoma.

If there is a hot favourite for the women’s race the men’s is the total opposite. In the absence of Tadej Pogačar who is sidelined with injury there are now a whole host of riders who will be dreaming of claiming the rainbow bands. Covering 274 kilometres and climbing 3,800 meters the course is hilly but nothing these riders won't be used to and keeps the door open for all sorts of styles to triumph. Heading the list must be Evenepoel though who will be aiming to double up by winning the TT and the RR but behind him you could take your pick from Tom Pidcock, Wout van Aert, Paul Seixas, Isaac del Toro and of course 2023 champion Mathieu van den Poel.

"The Split Up" is a fresh spin-off from "The Split" and takes us into the heart of Manchester with the Kishan family delivering legal drama.

Here's how to watch "The Split Up" online from anywhere with this VPN — and potentially for free.

If you enjoyed "The Split" you're obviously going to be invested in "The Split Up" right from the get-go. This show brings the same legal tension and family drama that creator Abi Morgan is famous for, but funnels all of that into the setting of Manchester as rising star Aria Kishan looks to inherit the family firm.

Across six episodes the family deal with elite clients seeking divorce, while Aria has to handle her own relationship issues and the grief of losing her mother, too. If that wasn't enticing enough, Sanjeev Bhaskar is a cast regular and there are also guest stars popping up including Jameela Jamil, Lenny Henry, and Jane Horrocks to add a level of star quality to proceedings.

Ready to watch the band's epic tour? Here's how to watch "The Split Up" online and from anywhere, with a free option on offer, too.

How to watch 'The Split Up' from anywhere

Thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network), "The Split Up" 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 "The Split Up" online and on-demand.

Watch 'The Split Up' in the U.K.

"The Split Up" will be broadcast on BBC One, with the fist episode airing on Sunday, September 20 at 9 p.m. BST. Episode two will air on Monday, September 21, with new episodes following for the next two Sundays and Mondays.

If you miss the broadcast, you can replay it on BBC iPlayer. The full boxset will be available on there from September 20.

Outside the U.K.? You don't have to miss the show if you are a Brit living abroad because you can watch your usual streams from anywhere with a VPN.

Can you watch 'The Split Up' in the U.S., Canada or Australia?

Unfortunately, as the show is tied to the BBC, there is no way to watch "The Split Up" on any linear TV channels in the U.S., Canada, or Australia (or anywhere outside of the U.K.). The series will not be playing on any streaming services, either.

It's possible it may be released at a later date on British services such as BritBox, but there is currently no plan for that, either.

The solution? NordVPN can unlock your stream if you're a British resident so you can watch "The Split Up" from anywhere.

I can think of precious few movies from the last 10 years that I get excited about watching again for work. "Anatomy of a Fall" is one of them. Every time I re-watch it, I notice something new, both delightful and heartbreaking in equal measure. It's an intelligent thriller where a suspicious death puts a marriage under a microscope, hushed arguments of fights past hashed out in court while their young son watches on.

"Anatomy of a Fall" is about to leave Netflix this week on Sept. 23, so I have an excuse to yap about this Oscar winning that starts as a psychological thriller and ends with a courtroom drama for the history books. If you haven't seen it yet, it's definitely worth a watch before it leaves one of the best streaming services. Netflix got hundreds of new movies in September, but as always, it means we're saying goodbye to other great ones on our watchlist. So while it's still on Netflix, don't miss "Anatomy of a Fall."

Still not convinced? I hear ya. Who wants to waste their precious streaming time with a dud? Here's everything you need to know about why "Anatomy of a Fall" deserves a spot on your watchlist.

What is 'Anatomy of a Fall' about?

The title breaks things down splendidly. If a husband falls to his death after a fight with his wife, who's to say it wasn't murder? That's the premise of Justine Triet's Palme d'Or- and Oscar-winning movie, "Anatomy of a Fall."

It's the kind of film where you quickly realize you must choose whose word to trust. But really, who is telling the truth doesn’t matter as much as how their stories make you feel. A cast impeccably led by Sandra Hüller in the performance of a lifetime, that you inevitably grow to root for.

"You must never lie to yourself," a mother tells her son, played by Milo Machado-Graner, a genuine talent beyond his years. His father, the equal parts conniving and charming Swann Arlaud, winds up dead. Suicide? Or defenestration? (Please indulge me, I rarely get the chance to use the word.)

Let me set the scene with the movie's iconic opening sequence. A younger woman (a student?) records an interview with an older woman while an objectively sick saxophone instrumental spoils the gay panic clear on display. It's hilarious both with and without context, and sets the tone exquisitely.

Stream 'Anatomy of a Fall' on Netflix now

Sometimes a movie doesn’t have to do anything more than execute a simple premise well. I said the same thing of “Obsession." The setting is scrumptious — the a-frame attic of my dreams on a snowy mountain cabin. In a weird way, it makes "Anatomy of a Fall" a perfect summer send-off in these Unprecedented Times. It's hard to explain exactly without spoiling the steady drip of discovery at the heart of this film, so if I'm being annoyingly vague, I apologize. I will continue to be.

"Anatomy of a Fall" is spectacle in a glorious sense. It'll hypnotize you in the way films were once known for; the kind where you'd look up at the clock and realize an afternoon's disappeared. The meatier themes give eagle-eyed viewers plenty to gnaw on as you get lost in Triet, Hüller, and the rest of these movie magic scientists breaking down the anatomy of a fall again, and again, and again.

Also, this is purely self-indulgent, but shout-out to Antoine Reinartz for the French Phoenix Wright impression I didn't know I needed. I love it when a side character completely kills a role, and this man had me obsessed.

So check out "Anatomy of a Fall" on Netflix before it's gone. Pro tip: If you miss that Sept. 23 deadline, there's another place you can stream it. All you'll need to do is sign up for a Kanopy account for free with a public library card or university login. Kanopy's library is stacked with over 30,000 movies, TV shows, and educational videos, and like the rest of the best streaming platforms, it's constantly rotating its stock. That includes some newer releases on Kanopy too, like 2022's "Marcel the Shell With Shoes On" and "Everything Everywhere All at Once."

Fall is my favorite time of year. I love that September marks the start of the build-up to spooky season, with colder evenings, darker nights and Halloween slowly creeping closer. It also gives me another excuse to stay indoors with a blanket and watch a new movie or settle in for a full-on binge of a new show. Luckily, Prime Video has quite a few releases to look forward to over the next few weeks, making the start of fall even more exciting.

There’s a little bit of everything coming to the streaming service, from a highly anticipated romantic comedy based on a bestselling novel to Mike Flanagan’s new eight-episode take on one of Stephen King’s most famous stories. There’s also a long-awaited sci-fi series set in the world of a beloved futuristic franchise, which arrives later in the season. With all three offering something very different, these are the three Prime Video releases I’m most excited to add to my fall watchlist.

‘The Love Hypothesis’

A movie we’re actually getting very soon is “The Love Hypothesis,” a romantic comedy adapted from Ali Hazelwood’s 2021 New York Times bestselling novel. I’m a huge sucker for romance films just as much as I am for horror, and this one looks like it’s going to deliver plenty of yearning. I also have high hopes considering it’s directed by Claire Scanlon, known for her work on “Set It Up,” which is one of the best modern rom-coms of all time. There’s no better time than fall to cozy up with a charming flick, and I’m confident this could be Prime Video’s next No. 1.

Olive Smith (Lili Reinhart) is a Ph.D. candidate whose life takes an unexpected turn when her best friend starts dating Olive’s former crush. To convince her best friend that she has moved on, Olive impulsively kisses Adam Carlsen (Tom Bateman), an intimidating professor at her university. Rather than causing the awkward encounter she expects, the moment leads to an unusual arrangement. Adam agrees to pretend to be Olive’s boyfriend, giving both of them something they need. However, their established rules become increasingly difficult to follow.

Stream on Prime Video starting September 23

‘Carrie’

Stephen King is my favorite horror author, which feels pretty natural given how much I love the genre, so I’ve seen several film adaptations of his most popular books. When Prime Video announced a TV adaptation of “Carrie,” it quickly became one of my most anticipated releases of the year. The project also marks Mike Flanagan’s fourth major Stephen King adaptation, following “Gerald’s Game,” “Doctor Sleep” and “The Life of Chuck.” Judging by the trailer, “Carrie” brings telekinesis into the modern world, with cyberbullying, social media and viral videos all playing a part in the story.

Carrie White (Summer H. Howell) has spent most of her life sheltered at home by her fiercely protective mother, Margaret (Samantha Sloyan). Following the sudden death of her father, Carrie is sent into public high school for the first time, where she struggles to adjust to her unfamiliar surroundings and classmates. After a humiliating incident is filmed and shared online, Carrie finds herself at the center of a viral scandal. Meanwhile, strange abilities begin to emerge as she adjusts to her new life.

‘Blade Runner 2099’

“Blade Runner 2099” functions as a direct TV continuation of Ridley Scott’s original 1982 masterpiece and Denis Villeneuve’s “Blade Runner 2049,” shifting the neo-noir franchise 50 years forward in the canon timeline. Even though we only have a teaser trailer right now, it already looks very promising from a visual standpoint, and I have no doubt it will retain the cyberpunk feel of the previous films. The pairing of Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer is also particularly compelling, and I’m excited to see what these two bring to the franchise.

Set 50 years after the events of “Blade Runner 2049,” the series follows Cora (Hunter Schafer), a fugitive who has spent years moving between identities while trying to protect her brother. When she takes on one final identity as a Blade Runner, she is partnered with Olwen (Michelle Yeoh), a Replicant who is nearing the end of her life. Together, they set out to track down a runaway whose hidden secret could threaten the future of Los Angeles. Soon, Cora and Olwen find themselves drawn into a dangerous conspiracy involving the city’s rogue Replicants.

Lane Kiffin's antics have made LSU vs Ole Miss one of the most hotly-anticipated NCAA college football grudge matches in some time. It was bad enough that Kiffin left the Rebels on the eve of their first CFP campaign in program history — to leave for their hated SEC rivals was unforgivable. And then came everything else...

Here's how you can watch LSU vs Ole Miss live streams from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for FREE.

Kiffins has since embarked on what can only be described as a one-man provocation tour. He's poached Ole Miss players and coaches, and attempted to inflict irreparable damage on college football by signing NFL players — a stunt that LSU only abandoned at the risk of expulsion from the conference.

It's unfortunate, but ultimately not surprising, therefore, that extra security is being deployed at Vaught–Hemingway Stadium.

One of the Ole Miss players Kiffin attempted to coax to the Tigers is Heisman Trophy contender Trinidad Chambliss, and Sam Leavitt's shoddy performance last weekend showed why. Leavitt threw three interceptions and was sacked five times, but LSU eventually found their groove to run out 45-14 winners over Louisiana Tech.

The Rebels didn't waver in their 41-9 victory over Charlotte, with Chambliss, Kewan Lacy and Deuce Alexander all starring in the blowout. However, there remain question marks around the Ole Miss defense, while running back Lacy's showdown with LSU linebacker TJ Dottery — a former Rebel — will be fascinating.

Check out all of the TV and streaming details below to find out how to watch LSU vs Ole Miss from anywhere, including free options.

Watch UFC 331 live streams as Joshua Van vs Alexandre Pantoja 2 headlines a huge MMA night from the Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles. Pantoja returns to the Octagon for this rematch of current and former UFC flyweight champions with a chip on his shoulder after the Brazilian dislocated his elbow 26 seconds into their first fight. The Brazilian feels as if Dana White subsequently dropped him like a stone.

Here's how you can watch UFC 331 live streams from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for just $1.

For a fighter with four straight successful UFC title defenses to his name, who was once at No.4 in the pound-for-pound rankings, and who became the first men's flyweight in the history of the promotion to win a title bout over the age of 35, Pantoja gets surprisingly little fanfare — something that hasn't gone unnoticed.

Van, on the other hand, became an overnight star when he took the belt last December. The 24-year-old has since embellished his reputation with a gripping title defense against Tatsuro Taira, which went the distance. However, as Pantoja has been keen to remind prospective viewers all week, Van didn't actually beat him in the first place.

It has all the ingredients for a band-tempered grudge match, and Arman Tsarukyan's lightweight clash with Mauricio Ruffy for a potential title shot stands to be a stupendous warmup act.

Directors Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan have a chokehold on Netflix subscribers with their "Monster" series, a true-crime anthology show that dives into some of the most disturbing murders in U.S. history. The latest, "The Lizzie Borden Story," hit Netflix this week, and it wasted no time shooting to the #1 spot on the Netflix top 10.

If you've already binged Borden's tragic tale and you're looking to watch more Netflix shows with high-stakes courtroom drama, bloodshed, and scandal, I've got you covered. Netflix's library is stuffed with great shows, but you don't have to dig through it all to figure out what to watch next. I've already done the hard work for you.

Whether you’re drawn to the quiet paranoia of 19th-century murder, the cold analytical minds tracing serial killer instincts, or the jaw-dropping secrets behind a modern family dynasty, Netflix is packed with series that capture that exact same tension. If you're ready to dive into another obsession where no one tells the whole truth, here are three chilling, true-crime-inspired dramas to stream next.

'Alias Grace'

The vibe: 19th-century murder, unreliable narrators, and women slaying (literally)

What it's about: Based on Margaret Atwood’s novel, this miniseries dramatizes the real-life 1843 case of Grace Marks, a poor Irish immigrant and domestic servant in Canada who is convicted of murdering her employer and his housekeeper. A stable hand (Kerr Logan) who works for the same household is also convicted and hanged for the crimes, while Grace receives a life sentence in prison.

Years later, a psychiatrist is brought in to assess Grace’s mental state, giving her a chance to tell her story. Like "Lizzie Borden," "Alias Grace" explores whether a woman trapped by Victorian social constraints was an innocent victim or a calculating mastermind — but either way, she knows she'll be remembered as one of the most notorious women of the 19th century.

Watch the entire "Alias Grace" miniseries on Netflix now

'Mindhunter'

The vibe: A slow-burning psychological crime thriller with more tension than bloodshed

What it's about: Set in the 1970s, "Mindhunter" follows two FBI agents as they pioneer criminal profiling techniques would transform the way investigators understand and catch serial killers for decades. Despite its grim subject matter, the show is especially violent, focusing instead on the psychological tension of the agents’ interviews with convicted killers.

The performances and cinematography are excellent, while the deliberate pacing will have you hooked. This is a series best savored rather than binged, so resist the urge to race through episode after episode. If you loved the deep dive into the psychology of violent crimes in Murphy and Brennan's "Monster" franchise, this is gold-standard viewing.

Watch both seasons of "Mindcrawler" on Netflix now

'The Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal'

The vibe: A jaw-dropping Southern true-crime saga fueled by a string of increasingly disturbing revelations

What it's about: For a less salacious and more documentary-style true crime tale, look no further than "The Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal." This docuseries unpacks the web of secrets behind the Murdaugh family, a prominent South Carolina family with some serious skeletons in their closet.

The series centers on the 2019 death of 19-year-old Mallory Beach, the 2021 murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh, and the subsequent investigation into family patriarch Alex Murdaugh. Through interviews with people connected to the family and the cases, it unravels the Murdaugh family's ties to these bloody affairs and more scandals that rocked the community over the years. Like in "Lizzie Borden," there's plenty of family dysfunction and sensational court drama to keep your interest.

• Everything new on Netflix in September 2026

September is flying by, and if it could please stop, that'd be great. We're on weekend number three, and the question of what to watch is rearing it's ugly head again.

The Netflix top 10 is a great tool for cutting through the noise, but not everything that makes the cut is worth your time. That's why I'm here every weekend to highlight which movies in the Netflix top 10 actually live up to the hype. It's been a pretty lackluster summer for Netflix so far, and already I'm seeing some of its biggest new releases like "The Whisper Man" fall down the ranking, if they're not already gone entirely.

Meanwhile, other movies from a few years back are topping the charts, like Guy Ritchie's much-beloved "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" is at #2, followed close behind by "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish," an animated adventure I promise you'll love. And it's a must-watch with the studio's latest venture, the Filipino folklore inspired "Forgotten Island," hitting theaters on September 25. Tyler Perry's latest dramedy reboot, "Why Did I Get Married Again?" is also a solid option for a breezy weekend watch.

None of these picks fit the vibe? No worries: Our guide to everything new on Netflix this month has plenty more recommendations on what to watch. So without further ado, here are the three must-watch movies in Netflix’s top 10 this weekend. Enjoy!

This article is based on Netflix's top 10 movies list in the U.S. as of 11:00 a.m. ET on Saturday, September 19 2026.

Best movies in the Netflix top 10

'The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare' (2023)

Guy Ritchie's "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" landed on Netflix this week, and wasted no time crashing into the top 10. If you're in the mood for some more gritty action after "The Gentleman" season 2, this has all of Ritchie's signature hallmarks, with over-the-top characters, slickly produced action and bombastic set pieces aplenty. Viewers love it too, judging by its 91% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Inspired by the true story of a secret group of British soldiers during World War II, this heavily fictionalized take on the Special Operations Executive follows Winston Churchill (Rory Kinnear) as he puts together a ragtag team of operatives to help turn the tide of the war using less conventional means. Led by Henry Cavill, Eiza González, Alan Ritchson, Henry Golding and Alex Pettyfer, “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” is a pulpy, action-packed war movie that's light on story but an easy and entertaining watch nonetheless.

'Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Again?' (2026)

Netflix subscribers and Tyler Perry go together like peanut butter and jelly, so it's hardly surprising to see his latest "Why Did I Get Married Again?" still kicking around near the top of Netflix's ranking. This reboot brings back most of the original cast of "Why Did I Get Married?" and "Why Did I Get Married Too?" for an Italian wedding — including Diane (Sharon Leal), Sheila (Jill Scott), Troy (Lamman Rucker), and Mike (Richard T. Jones). The only one missing is Janet Jackson's Patricia, replaced by a new character named Roselyn (Taraji P. Henson).

Jasmine (Armani Greer) and Wesley (Everett Osbourne) are a young couple just days away from saying "I do" at a grand destination wedding in Italy. Their nuptials has older wedding guests reflecting on the highs and lows of their own marriages, but as the less-than-happy couple wrestles with going through with the ceremony, everyone starts to take a good, hard look at their own happily-ever-afters.

'Puss in Boots: The Last Wish' (2022)

"Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" climbed to the 4th spot from #8 last week, and I'm pleased as a possum eating peach seeds to see it. I've been singing this movies praises since it came out. To this day, I've still never seen the original 2011 "Puss in Boots," but this is more of a reboot than a sequel that adopts a new style, combining the vibrant animation of the "Spider-Verse" movies with the sweeping pastels of an illustrated storybook.

And the cast is hilarious to boot, especially John Mulaney as the delightfully evil Jack Horner and Florence Pugh's Goldilocks, the head hauncho of a three bears crime family (Olivia Colman, Ray Winstone, and Samson Kayo). "Narcos" star Wagner Moura does a phenomenal job in his first-ever voice acting role as the grim reaper come to collect his due. Antonio Banderas returns as the beloved Puss, now on his last life after cheating death one too many times. He sets out with his old flame Kitty (Salma Hayek) and new sidekick Perrito (Harvey Guillen) to find a shooting star and wish for more lives before his time is up.

Paramount+ is regularly adding new shows to binge-watch. This weekend is no exception. The streaming service releases new episodes of hit shows every week. Sometimes, even entire seasons at once. It added over 120 new movies and shows on September 1 alone. It even has some live sporting events, including all major events from the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

This weekend, let's start with a show that's just getting started: "MobLand" season 2. Once you're done watching that premiere (and catching up on season 1), be sure to watch the "Lioness" season 3 finale, arriving on Paramount+ this Sunday (September 20). Finally, check out the "South Park" season 29 premiere, which arrives each week on the day after it debuts on Comedy Central.

Here are the three new to Paramount+ shows you need to binge-watch this weekend. If you need more recommendations, check out everything new on Paramount+ in September 2026 for more options.

'MobLand' season 2

Genre: Crime drama series

What's it about? "MobLand" centers around the Harrigan crime family. This gang of drug lords is led by patriarch Conrad (Pierce Brosnan), matriarch Maeve (Helen Mirren) and Conrad's second son Kevin (Paddy Considine). But the show largely focuses on the family's fixer, Harry (Tom Hardy). He cleans up all their messes, including a gang war in season 1. In season 2, he'll be trying to fend off the cold, calculating Kat McAllister (Janet McTeer) while struggling to keep his own marriage intact.

Why you should watch it: This show didn't start without some bumps, but "MobLand" season 1 ended with a stunning finale. This next batch of episodes looks to be starting on a high note too, with a bloody season 2 premiere. So make sure to check it out this weekend and to catch up on season 1 if you haven't already.

Watch the premiere of "MobLand" season 2 on Paramount+ now

'Lioness' season 3

Genre: Spy thriller series

What's it about? Zoe Saldaña stars in this spy thriller as CIA operative Joe McNamara. She is in charge of Lioness, a program that inserts women operatives undercover and then takes down enemy targets in the war on terror. Once embedded, these women typically bring down their marks by getting close to the women around the dangerous characters and then finding an exploit from there.

Why you should watch it: "Lioness" season 3 has Joe dealing with a sticky situation, to say the least. But she's not the only one in trouble. Audiences initially loved this season, but it's now 78% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. That's a notable drop from the 91% it had been rated by fans at the start of the season. Hopefully it can stick the landing with an epic season 3 finale.

Watch the first seven episodes of "Lioness" season 3 on Paramount+ now. Episode 8 (season finale) premieres on September 6

'South Park' season 29

Genre: Animated adult comedy series

What's it about? "South Park" features the voices of Trey Parker and Matt Stone as Stan, Eric, Kyle and Kenny. These four, their friends and their families are used by the creative duo to pillory ... well, just about everyone and everything. Last year, it was mostly U.S. President Donald Trump who took the brunt of Parker and Stone's wit. Given that the show is now technically "South America," a nod to Trump's penchant for naming things after the U.S., I would expect President 45/47 to bear the brunt of their comedic slings and arrows once again.

Why you should watch it: Last year, "South Park" season 27 was one of my top 10 shows of 2025. I can't wait to see if season 29 can be a contender in 2026.

Watch Newcastle vs Hull City sees the surprise package of the new Premier League season looking to extend their unbeaten start and add another crucial three points to their tally. Hull City have started strong with wins over Man Utd and Coventry, before securing an impressive point against Chelsea last time out.

The Tigers will have survival on their mind, first and foremost, and another win this weekend would go a long way to giving them the foundation to establish themselves as a top flight team. For Newcastle, survival may also be a key objective, considering the exodus of top players leaving the North East this summer.

After losing manager Eddie Howe, and star men like Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, and Anthony Gordon, Matthias Jaissle has his work cut out. He's not made a bad start, but will be desperate to record a home win here and climb the table as quickly as possible.

Even though we’re already in the middle of September, I technically count this month as part of the spooky season build-up.

So, there’s no better time to start getting excited for October by delving into some of the most iconic horror movies ever made.

As a huge horror fan, I’ve watched more than my fair share of slashers, supernatural nightmares and creature features over the years, but the classics are classics for a reason. From “Psycho” and “The Exorcist” to “Alien,” “Halloween” and “Scream,” these are the movies that helped shape the genre we know and love today. But how well do you actually remember them? I’ve put together 12 tricky questions to test your knowledge.

Netflix has a new No. 1 movie, but that doesn’t mean we have to be happy about it. The new chart-topper is “The Seemingly Perfect Family,” a based-on-a-true-story Lifetime thriller about an 18-year-old former foster kid (Rylee Reagan) who lies to get an au pair job, only to discover that the affluent “dream” family she’s working for is harboring deep, dark secrets.

But despite rocketing to the top of Netflix’s weekly rankings in only a matter of days (it premiered on the streamer on September 15), viewers have been equally quick to pan the new title. Over on Rotten Tomatoes, some are calling it “probably the worst movie I have ever seen,” with “predictable, awful writing and acting.”

Rather than waste your time with that kind of streaming schlock, here are a trio of Netflix thriller movies that are actually worth a watch.

'Leave the World Behind'

Written and directed by Sam Esmail, this 2023 apocalyptic thriller has a truly star-studded cast — Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, Mahershala Ali, Kevin Bacon and Myha'la among them — and equally high-profile backing. (Barack and Michelle Obama are producers via their Higher Ground Productions.)

The story centers on Amanda Sandford (Roberts) and her husband, Clay (Hawke), who have planned a luxurious weekend away from the city to a Long Island rental with their kids. However, their coastal respite gets a bit less relaxing when the homeowner (Ali) and his daughter arrive in the middle of the night with news of citywide blackouts, cyberattacks and suspicions of a much larger conspiracy.

Based on the 2020 novel of the same name by Rumaan Alam, the Netflix adaptation was called “an exceptionally well-acted apocalyptic thriller” that “steadily draws the viewer in despite its leisurely pace and somewhat simplistic messaging,” by critics, per Rotten Tomatoes.

'The Occupant'

Hailing from Spain, this 2020 thriller from David Pastor and Àlex Pastor is all about the relatable pain of losing a really great apartment. Javier Muñoz (Javier Gutiérrez) was once a big-shot advertising executive with the cushy Barcelona apartment to boot. However, when he loses his job and can’t even score an unpaid internship, he and his wife Marga (Ruth Díaz) and son Dani (Cristian Muñoz) are forced to leave their palatial pad and downsize to a much smaller rental.

Javier, though, still has keys to his old place and secretly begins entering the property and growing ever more obsessed with its new occupants: businessman Tomás (Mario Casas), his wife, Lara (Bruna Cusí) and daughter Mónica (Iris Vallés).

'Gone Girl'

This David Fincher classic is leaving the Netflix platform on October 1, so you have just a couple of weeks to watch Rosamund Pike's Amy Elliott Dunne exact sweet revenge on her lying, cheating husband, Nick (Ben Affleck). When his bride seemingly goes missing on their fifth wedding anniversary and becomes the focus of an intense media circus, writing professor Nick is considered the prime suspect by law enforcement and the larger public.

With a searing lead performance by Pike, who earned a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her role, “Gone Girl” is one of the most iconic thrillers of the past two decades, with critics praising it as “dark, intelligent, and stylish” and successful in “bringing the best out of stars Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike,” per Rotten Tomatoes.

I've seen five movies this week, but "The History of Concrete" is unlike any movie I think I've ever seen. Over the course of an hour and 41 minutes, comedian and documentarian John Wilson attempts to tell the definitive history of concrete, purportedly using the structure of a Hallmark movie.

Incredibly, I think Wilson fails on both fronts. After watching the movie, it's clear that there's not much in the way of the history of concrete on offer.

Now, that's not the same as saying this movie ignores concrete — it doesn't. In fact, I learned a lot about concrete over the 101 minutes I spent watching Wilson's feature-length documentary debut. But I'd argue that it focuses more on the present and future states of concrete, rather than how it's been used throughout history.

I'd also argue that the Hallmark movie aspect of the film would go over the head of anyone who isn't in the filmmaking industry. The connections to Hallmark are in the film, and Wilson does make an effort to set up this meta aspect of his documentary. But I don't think at the end of watching "The History of Concrete," you'll end up instantly comparing it to "'Twas the Date Before Christmas."

This isn't to say the movie isn't good. It is. John Wilson's ability to find humor in the mundane aspects of life and connect dots that you wouldn't expect is impressive. I just don't know that concrete will be the most memorable aspect of this movie for most people.

Concrete is probably the least interesting part of this documentary

To set the stage, Wilson is pitching this documentary following the end of his successful HBO series, "How To with John Wilson." As he puts it, "The space between projects is hard," at which point he expertly cuts to a sculpture of a wiener sandwiched between a hot dog bun. So the beginning of the documentary is about Wilson's search to find a new project.

Ultimately, after one poor attempt at patching concrete at a building he owns and a Writers Guild of America seminar on how to write a Hallmark movie later, he's landed on a pitch: "The History of Concrete." So he heads to Rome, where ... he proceeds to learn nothing about concrete.

He does, however, find a wax museum with an AI companion app that's equally eerie and hilarious. He then interviews "The Sopranos" star Michael Imperioli about how to make a movie, and then we finally get into some cold, hard concrete.

But even as we start to explore concrete — and we do explore concrete — it becomes clear that it's the people connected to the concrete who are far more interesting subjects. Whether it's the driving school in Ohio that operates on the oldest concrete street in America, the man who blasts gum off of New York City's concrete sidewalks or the chorus of women who serenade runners in a 3,100-mile run on a single square block of Jamaican Queens' concrete, it's their stories that cement themselves into our heads more than the concrete itself.

As the documentary continues, though, concrete itself does become more prominent, and more of a downer. I don't need to go into the full details, since that's what the documentary is for. But suffice it to say, the future of concrete is as bleak as the future of everything else.

But before Wilson's pseudo-Hallmark movie can come to a close, we meet Jack Macco. He instantly steals the movie, for better and worse, and by the end of the film, this documentary is almost as much about Wilson's interactions with Jack as it ever was about an essential building block of society.

Verdict: 'The History of Concerte' is definitely a must-watch, but it might be best as a movie to stream at home

Now, I'm not mad that I didn't actually learn about the history of concrete in this documentary. I'm more than willing to let a documentary entertain me more than it informs (see: "Lorne"). But as the movie went on, Wilson's tangents became less and less rewarding, even if they were often humorous and always connected back to the core of the film without fail.

Despite this complaint, though, I undeniably liked this movie. It's a must-see, and fans of John Wilson will definitely want to see it in theaters. Especially if they want to see more John Wilson projects. As he points out in "The History of Concrete," it's difficult to finance a movie these days.

But if you're not a Wilson fan, or not sure about this documentary, it should eventually come to a streaming service. Specifically, HBO Max, which has a deal with Magnolia Pictures. I'm glad I watched this one from the comfort of my own home, so I won't blame you if you do the same. Just make sure you ultimately watch it.

It's important to note that "The Taking of Pelham 123" is a different movie than "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three." The former is the latest movie I had to watch in my year-long Denzel Watchathon. The latter is a 1974 action thriller that's actually good.

Now, to be fair to this remake, it's not bad. I've seen far worse films. I've seen worse films starring Denzel Washington. But it's also not particularly good; it's just fine. It's inoffensive for the most part, and there's no performance or moment that elevates it or drags it down.

If there's one thing that defines this movie, it's sadly not Denzel Washington. In fact, it's probably the first movie I've seen where you could have replaced him and likely gotten a film that was just as good or close to it. No, aside from the fact that this is visually recognizable as a Tony Scott film for those of us who have seen a lot of Tony Scott films, the standout performance in this movie is Denzel's opposite number: John Travolta.

If you want to watch this movie before you read on, you can stream it on Philo. If you've never signed up for Philo before, new customers get a seven-day free trial, meaning you can stream "The Taking of Pelham 123" for free.

Alternatively, you can see if your cable TV, satellite or live TV streaming service has it and watch it on demand. If you get AMC as a channel, you should have this movie available to watch on demand for free.

This movie wouldn't change with or without Denzel

For those of you who aren't familiar with this 2009 action thriller, or the 1974 original ... or the 1998 television movie, "The Taking of Pelham 123" is adapted from the John Godey novel of the same name. In it, a group of armed men hijacks the Pelham 123 train (a New York City 6 train that originates from Pelham Bay at 1:23 p.m.) and demands a ransom from the city of New York.

In this movie, the men are led by Ryder, played by John Travolta. He wants $10 million from the Mayor of New York (James Gandolfini), delivered within the hour, or he'll start killing a hostage every minute.

The intermediaries between Ryder and the Mayor are Walter Garber (Denzel Washington), the MTA subway dispatcher who receives the call from Ryder demanding the ransom, and Lt. Vincent Camonetti (John Turturro), the NYPD hostage negotiator who briefly takes control of the situation.

This movie is largely about Ryder and Garber, though. Especially once Ryder kills the subway train's motorman in response to Camonetti taking over the phone from Garber. That's probably the high point of the movie, because it's in that moment that you realize there are real stakes to this hostage situation.

The reality is, despite a cast that includes Denzel, Travolta, Turturro and Gandolfini, you probably didn't need any of them. Replace them with replacement-level actors and change nothing else, and you'd probably get just as good a movie.

The lone exception is maybe Travolta, who is cranked up to 11 in this movie. Maybe that was a direction or script choice. The character Ryder isn't historically a stoic. But if it was even partially Travolta making an acting choice, something a bit more subtle might have been an improvement. But, honestly, I'm not even sure that's true.

Verdict: Watch 'The Taking of Pelham One Two Three' instead

Unless you're a Denzel completionist like me, you don't need to watch this movie. That's partially because it's not especially worth your time, but also because you could watch the 1974 original instead, which is currently streaming for free on Tubi and is a better film.

If you're committed to watching this remake, though, now is the time to do it. You can likely watch it for free on Philo with a seven-day free trial or as a video on-demand as part of your cable TV, satellite or live TV service subscription. I watched it for free on YouTube TV, and I'm glad I only had to spend just under two hours of my time, rather than my hard-earned money.

Another weekend is here, which means the question of what to watch is fresh on our mind. I'm not going to lie, not much debuted across the best streaming services this week, as we are hitting that middle of the month slump for new releases.

I've gone through every new movie on streaming this weekend to highlight the ones worth watching. My top picks this week include one of the best dinosaur movies in ages, Netflix's new Bollywood teen comedy that I can't wait to watch with some of my oldest friends, a Ryan Coogler classic on Paramount+, a psychological thriller that launched a horror phenomenon, and one of the "Fast & Furious" movies because why not. It's a slow week.

What to watch

• ‘The End of Oak Street’ (PVOD)
• ‘Best of the Best’ (Netflix)
• 'Creed' (Paramount+)
• ‘The Purge' (Prime Video)
• 'Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw' (Hulu)

Read on to learn more about my top picks for what to watch this weekend among the new movies on streaming. While you're at it, be sure to check out our round-up of the best new TV shows on streaming this weekend too.

‘The End of Oak Street’ (PVOD)

Finding a great dinosaur movie that 1) isn't animated and 2) doesn't have the words "Jurassic Park" in the title is a surprisingly difficult task. That’s what made “The End of Oak Street” such a pleasant surprise, with critics hailing it as the best dinosaur movie since Steven Spielberg’s ‘90s classic. "It's a chaotic adventure that knows exactly how to have fun," as my colleague Alix Blackburn wrote in our 4/5 star review: "an easy summer blockbuster to enjoy."

Set in the 1980s, the movie follows a Michigan suburb that’s suddenly transported millions of years into the past with some good ol' movie magic. With dinosaurs now roaming their streets, the Platt family — including a husband and wife played by Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway who are in the middle of a divorce — must put their differences aside if they want their family to make it out in one piece.

‘Best of the Best’ (Netflix)

Netflix has had a streak of real stinkers lately, but "Best of the Best" looks like just the girl's night staple to fix that. Early reviews for this Bollywood teen comedy are positive, and it has all the ingredients to climb Netflix’s Top 10 chart this weekend.

“Best of the Best” may look like your typical college sports movie at first glance, but its subject matter immediately sets it apart. Instead of football or basketball, the movie dives into the world of competitive Bollywood-fusion dance. “Never Have I Ever” star Maitreyi Ramakrishnan and Priyanka Kedia play two best friends who join UCLA’s dance team with their sights set on winning the U.S. championships — if they can survive this cutthroat sport long enough to take home gold.

'Creed' (Paramount+)

Always happy to rewatch one of my favorite directors, and Ryan Coogler and Michael B Jordan's seminal sports drama "Creed" is on rotation in my household (though probably second after "Sinners"). This spin-off of the "Rocky" series exists within the same canon and sees Sylvester Stallone return in his iconic role as the underdog champ.

Stealing the show is Jordan as our next up-and-coming fighter to root for: Adonis "Donnie" Johnson, the illegitimate son of legendary heavyweight champion Apollo Creed. To prove he's worthy of the Creed name, he turns to former boxing great Rocky Balboa to get him into shape. Rocky and this next generation of Creed learn to rely on each other as Donnie prepares for the biggest opportunity of his career and a chance to forge his own legacy.

Watch "Creed" on Paramount+ now

‘The Purge' (Prime Video)

Of all “The Purge” movies, the only one I genuinely recommend is the original. For all the theatrics that followed, 2013’s “The Purge” is a surprisingly grounded, single-location psychological thriller that keeps the tension high from start to finish. It also introduces a compelling moral dilemma that actually lands, unlike flimsier attempts in later installments.

A decade before Ethan Hawke delivered another terrifying performance in the equally excellent “The Black Phone," he played a terrified patriarch caught in the middle of the Purge, a night of bedlam when all crime — including murder — is legal until sunrise. The government-sanctioned event is supposedly designed as a pressure-release valve to create a more peaceful, orderly society for the rest of the year. But Hawke’s James Sandin makes one fatal mistake: He lets a wounded stranger into his home, drawing the attention of a bloodthirsty group of Purgers who will stop at nothing to get inside.

'Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw' (Hulu)

For years, "Hobbs & Shaw" was the only movie in the "Fast & Furious" franchise I'd seen. I finally watched the first (and best one) in 2022 after saying that previous sentence to my husband, who sat me down to rectify that horrible faux pas for boy movies. To be fair, now I understand what he was getting at: This is NOT your typical "Fast & Furious movie." For one thing, there's a cyborg played by Idris Elba.

Set after "The Fate of the Furious," this spin-off sees Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham as the titular Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw, stoic men with checkered pasts who team up with Deckard's sister Hattie (Vanessa Kirby) to take down terrorist Brixton Lore (Elba). It leans far more toward a traditional action comedy than the mainline "Fast and Furious" movies, and that's likely why it's my second favorite in the franchise.

We're in the middle of the month, which tends to be a quiet time for releases. Prime Video is no different, with just one new movie release this week — but boy howdy, is it a good one.

If you're scratching your head over what to watch on Prime Video this weekend, I've got you covered. Of everything new on Prime Video in September, my top three picks include:

• "Bombshell," a drama that turns one of Fox News' biggest scandals into a star-studded affair led by Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, and Margot Robbie;
• "Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train," a must-watch if you love a great fight scene (or trains I s'pose)
• "The Purge," a genuinely well-crafted thriller set in a single location that ditches the theatrics of the sequels

Need to know before you decide which to start watching? Here's why each one is worth a spot on your watchlist this weekend.

Bombshell (2019)

The vibe: An excuse to watch powerful (and stunning) women for an hour and 49 minutes

Why you should watch it: Inspired by real events and set against the backdrop of the 2016 U.S. presidential election, "Bombshell" follows three women whose allegations against longtime Fox News chairman Roger Ailes ultimately get him the boot. Charlize Theron heads a stacked cast as political commentator Megyn Kelly, alongside Nicole Kidman as acclaimed journalist Gretchen Carlson and Margot Robbie as Kayla Pospisil, the wide-eyed audience surrogate thrown into the cutthroat world of broadcast news.

Kate McKinnon is also a standout as a no-nonsense Fox producer who delivers one of the movie’s best lines: “What would scare my grandmother or piss off my grandfather — that’s a Fox story.” Theron and Robbie both earned Oscar nominations for their performances, though neither took home the trophy.

Watch "Bombshell" on Prime Video now

'Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train' (2021)

The vibe: Sick anime fight scenes on a train 'r us

Why you should watch it: "Demon Slayer" is not usually an anime I point newcomers to the genre toward, but the series' first theatrical feature film, "Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train," is well worth a watch for anyone who loves a good fight scene — animated or otherwise. The characters and their back stories are simple enough that you don't need to watch the show to follow along with the story's main beats, and the English dub is phenomenal!

The series follows 13-year-old Tanjiro Kamado, who finds his family brutally murdered, except his sister Nezuko Kamado, who has turned into a demon. He sets out with her in tow (literally in a basket on his shoulders) to join a secret organization known as the Demon Slayer Corps to avenge his family and cure Nezuko. In the movie, he and his friends board a train along with a high-ranking Demon Slayer to exterminate the demon terrorizing the train’s passengers.

‘The Purge' (2013)

The vibe: A sublime single-setting thriller

Why you should watch it: Of all "The Purge" movies, the only one I genuinely recommend people watch is the original. For all the theatrics that came later, 2013's "The Purge" is a surprisingly grounded, single-setting psychological thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. There's a fun moral dilemma thrown into the mix that I sorely missed in later "Purge" movies.

A decade before we got Ethan Hawke at his most terrifying in the equally superb "The Black Phone" movies, he starred as a terrified patriarch in the purge: a night of bedlam where all crimes (including murder) are legal until the sun comes up. It's a government-sanctioned stress relief exercise, supposedly to ensure a more peaceful and orderly society for the rest of the year. Hawke's character makes the mistake of letting a wounded stranger inside on purge night, drawing the attention of a bloodthirsty group of purgers.

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, Paramount+, 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 18), and where to watch them. For more picks, check out our review of "The Weight," a new heist movie starring Ethan Hawke.

Top shows and movies to stream tonight

'Mobland' season 2 premiere (Paramount+)

Genre: Crime drama series

What's it about? The Harrigan crime family takes center stage in "MobLand." Led by patriarch Conrad (Pierce Brosnan) and matriarch Maeve (Helen Mirren), they want to run the entire heroin trade in London. To do that, they need the family's fixer, Harry (Tom Hardy). He cleans up their messes, and last season that meant stopping a gang war. But he had to make a deal with the devil in season 1, and in season 2, that deal is coming back to bite him as he now needs to fend off the soulless, ultra-wealthy Kat McAllister (Janet McTeer) while everything around him falls apart.

Why you should watch it: The debut season of this show had its ups and downs, but "MobLand" season 1 ended with a stunning finale. A bloody season 2 premiere picks up on that momentum right out of the gate, so make sure to check it out tonight.

'The Traitors: New Blood' series premiere (Peacock)

Genre: Reality competition series

What's it about? In "The Traitors," celebrities team up to eliminate traitors from their ranks and take home hundreds of thousands of dollars. In "The Traitors: New Blood," the premise is the same, but the contestants are all normies, making them even more bloodthirsty for Alan Cumming's gold.

Why you need to watch it: Fans of the U.K. version (by which I mean our Entertainment Editor, Rory) will tell you that "The Traitors" is better when it's civilians instead of celebrities. Now, Peacock is calling his bluff, and you'll want to tune in tonight to see how the Americans handle themselves in this latest spin-off of the award-winning competition show.

'Best of the Best' season 2 (Netflix)

Genre: Dance comedy movie

What it's about: "Best of the Best" focuses on two childhood friends, Maya (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) and Anjali (Priyanka Kedia), as they try to join UCLA's competitive Bollywood-fusion dance team. They make the cut, but they soon discover that this dance squad is no joke, and people will do anything to win the U.S. championship.

Why you should watch it: Since it was filmed in New Jersey (according to two minutes of internet sleuthing), "Best of the Best" can't be called a Bollywood movie (it has to be called a "sparkling Indian dance movie" [that's a joke for our wine-drinking readers]). But with plenty of Bollywood-style dance numbers and notes of movies like "Mean Girls" and "Bring It On," this dance comedy has a chance to be the best thing you can watch tonight.

Hulu is a great streaming service if you're looking for new shows to binge this weekend. It features a deep library of series from a range of Disney-owned networks, including FX, ABC and 20th Television. It also has tons of original hit shows that you don't want to miss. As per usual, this week, I've put together a list of three newly added shows (or shows with new episodes) perfect for adding to your weekend watchlist.

First up is the ABC crime drama "R.J. Decker" season 2, which just debuted on Hulu this week. Once you've watched that, catch up on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" season 18 and "Futurama" season 14, both of which are almost done with their respective 10-episode seasons.

So, without further ado, here are three new to Hulu shows you need to binge-watch this weekend, and why you need to watch them. For more recommendations, check out the full list of everything new to Hulu and Disney+ in September 2026.

'RJ Decker' season 2

Genre: Crime drama series

What's it about? “R.J. Decker" stars Scott Speedman as the titular character. He's a discredited Florida journalist turned private investigator, and he's dived into the weird criminal underworld of South Florida. That's put him in the path of Emi Ochoa (Jaina Lee Ortiz), who sent R.J. to prison on the orders of her father (David Zayas), whose death they're now investigating together.

Why you should watch it: The first season of this show was well-received by critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and audiences weren't too far behind. Just from the trailer for season 2 alone, it seems like it gets the tone of author Carl Hiaasen, whose 1987 novel "Double Whammy" this show is based on, pretty spot on. If you're looking for a new crime drama with a twisted sense of humor, stream "R.J. Decker" season 1 now, then check out the season 2 premiere, which dropped on Hulu earlier this week.

Watch the premiere of "R.J. Decker" season 2 on Hulu now

'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' season 18

Genre: Situational comedy series

What's it about? The gang — Charlie, Mac, Dee and Dennis (Charlie Day, Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson and Glenn Howerton) — is back for another season of hijinks. This season, they've already gone to college and the Renaissance Faire, as well as planned a wedding and a funeral. This past week, they tried to get people back off the wagon and drink at Paddy's Pub, after noticing a rise in non-alcoholic beer consumption.

Why you should watch it: "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is never a bad time, and if you've watched any of the past 17 seasons, you probably already knew that. But if for some reason you've never seen this show or are still on the fence, now's the time to give it a shot. Whether you start with season 18 or season 1, you'll have a good time..

Watch the first six episodes of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" season 18 on Hulu now

'Futurama' season 14

Genre: Animated sci-fi sitcom series

What's it about? Set in the third millennium A.D., "Futurama" centers around a band of misfit humans, aliens, mutants and even a robot, masquerading as a delivery service. Don't expect many packages to make it to their destinations, though. This show is all about the hijinks and some clever zingers.

Why you should watch it: "Futurama" is one of the best animated sitcoms of this millennium, and it's rare that it doesn't score several big laughs in an episode. I won't pretend that recent seasons are as good as the older episodes before the switch to Hulu, but at least you can always go back and stream the old seasons once you've caught up on season 14.

Watch the first eight episodes of "Futurama" season 14 on Hulu now

If you’re looking for your next gripping thriller, MGM+ has a new series arriving this week that puts Emmy winner Jon Hamm at the center of an extraordinary hostage crisis. “American Hostage” is an eight-episode psychological thriller set in the 1970s, starring Hamm as Fred Heckman, a respected Indianapolis radio reporter who becomes caught up in a life-or-death situation when hostage-taker Tony Kiritsis, played by Giovanni Ribisi, demands to speak to him on air.

Based on the acclaimed scripted podcast of the same name, the series explores what happens when a journalist covering a major story suddenly finds himself becoming part of it. Hamm and Ribisi lead a cast that also includes Kristoffer Polaha as hostage Dick Hall, Mireille Enos, William Jackson Harper, Jonathan Tucker and Kat Cunning.

“American Hostage” is inspired by a real 1977 hostage crisis, but the MGM+ series expands the story into a tense character-driven thriller, exploring the complicated relationship between Heckman and Kiritsis as their conversations unfold. The series premieres on MGM+ on September 20, with the first two episodes arriving at launch before new episodes continue weekly.

Ahead of its arrival, we have exclusive images from the series to give you a closer look at Hamm and the rest of the cast in action.

‘American Hostage’ is a ‘fascinating story about real people in a life-or-death struggle’

The real story behind “American Hostage” dates back to February 8, 1977, when Indianapolis man Tony Kiritsis abducted mortgage broker Richard “Dick” Hall after becoming convinced that Hall’s family had wronged him financially. Kiritsis wired a shotgun to Hall’s neck and demanded that local radio news director Fred Heckman allow him to air his grievances live on the radio. The resulting standoff lasted 63 hours, eventually becoming a national media spectacle before Kiritsis surrendered and Hall was released unharmed.

The extraordinary nature of the case is a big part of what attracted MGM+ to the story. In a press release, Michael Wright, global head of MGM+, described it as “a fascinating story about real people engaged in a real-time life-or-death struggle” as they attempted to prevent the hostage situation from spiralling out of control. The series also explores the unusual relationship that developed between Heckman and Kiritsis as their conversations continued throughout the crisis.

With its unusual premise and strong ensemble cast, “American Hostage” looks set to offer more than a straightforward hostage thriller, particularly as it explores the human relationships that formed under extraordinary circumstances. If you’re curious to see how MGM+ has brought this remarkable chapter of history to the screen, the series arrives this weekend.

"American Hostage" premieres with two episodes on Sept. 20 on MGM+

• 5 best new Netflix movies and shows to stream this week

Paramount+ is a great streaming service if you're building a weekend movie marathon. It adds dozens of movies to the platform each month. It added over 120 new movies and shows on September 1 alone. Many of these are beloved classics or more modern hits. A few times a month, you also get brand-new movies from Paramount Skydance Studios.

This week, I'm going with a modern sports drama masterpiece, a dark satirical comedy and wrapping things up with a parody film that's one of the biggest movies of the year.

So let's start with "Creed," which was added on September 1 along with its two sequels and the rest of the "Rocky" franchise. Once you're done with that, check out the hilariously twisted "Death of Stalin," which is about exactly what you think it's about. Finally, "Scary Movie" (2026) arrived on Paramount+ earlier this month, so if you haven't already checked it out, consider this your excuse to do so.

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 September 2026.

'Creed' (2015)

Genre: Sports drama movie

What's it about? Michael B. Jordan stars as Adonis Creed in what is now his second of five collaborations with director Ryan Coogler. In this sequel/spin-off to the "Rocky" franchise, Adonis is the illegitimate son of former heavyweight champion Apollo (Carl Weathers), and is something of a boxer himself. His shot at greatness comes when World Light Heavyweight Champion "Pretty" Ricky Conlan (Tony Bellew) challenges him to a title fight, so he turns to his father's old rival, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), for help.

Why you should watch it: Jordan and Coogler simply don't miss when paired together, and they pair together a lot. The Oscar-winning actor has been in every movie Coogler has ever directed, and some consider this to be their best pairing. Well ... probably second best, behind "Sinners." But don't let that stop you from watching "Creed" and its two sequels.

Watch "Creed" on Paramount+ now

'The Death of Stalin' (2017)

Genre: Political satire black comedy movie

What's it about? "The Death of Stalin" is hilarious. Based on the French graphic novel "La Mort de Staline," it depicts the internal power struggle in the Soviet Politburo following the death of U.S.S.R. leader Joseph Stalin in 1953. But it does so with an incredible cast and a script written by "Veep" creator Armando Iannucci.

Why you need to watch it: If you wanted a comedy about the death of a major historical figure and the ensuing chaos, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better cast. This movie stars Steve Buscemi, Simon Russell Beale, Paddy Considine, Rupert Friend, Jason Isaacs, Michael Palin, Andrea Riseborough and Jeffrey Tambor as various members of the Politburo and the Soviet ruling class. Throw in Iannucci as writer and director, and it's no surprise people loved "The Death of Stalin."

Watch "The Death of Stalin" on Paramount+ now

'Scary Movie' (2026)

Genre: Parody horror comedy movie

What's it about? The "Scary Movie" franchise has been parodying horror flicks since I was in elementary school, and I'm not exactly young anymore. Heck, this isn't even the first movie in the franchise called "Scary Movie." This latest installment is a follow-up to the first two "Scary Movie" films, in particular, and it follows Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris), Ray Wilkins (Shawn Wayans) and the Meeks siblings, Shorty (Marlon Wayans) and Brenda (Regina Hall). They're forced to reunite to stop a masked killer from the original "Scary Movie."

Why you need to watch it: "Scary Movie" (2026) is a bit polarizing, at least according to Rotten Tomatoes. Critics despised it, rating it just 24% fresh. But audiences were far kinder, giving it a 64% rating. My guess? The less seriously you take this horror comedy, the better.

We're in the last weeks of September, which means we've only got a little time before our viewing habits go fully Halloween-themed with the official arrival of spooky season and movie marathons full of ghosts and ghouls. Thankfully, Prime Video, one of the top streaming services, has plenty of non-creepy new movies and TV shows to keep us distracted until October rolls along, which means that you won't have to spend long hunting for something top-notch to watch this weekend.

That includes "A Love Other Than Yours," a new South Korean romantic melodrama centered on what happens when long-term couples encounter new romantic interests while approaching marriage. There's also an action-crime newcomer in the form of "Neagley," a spin-off of the fan-favorite "Reacher" franchise. (Speaking of, the "Reacher" season 4 finale just dropped on the streamer, so you can also add that to your weekend watch!) And for you animated fans, all four seasons of the Japanese anime series "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" have also recently arrived on the Apple platform.

Without further ado, here are the three best new-to-Prime Video shows to binge this weekend.

'A Love Other Than Yours'

What it's about: Most screen romances have a happily-ever-after, but this South Korean series deals with what happens after all that. The 14-episode K-drama, which arrived stateside on Prime Video on September 12, revolves around childhood friends-turned-romantic partners Namgung Ho (Seo Kang-joon) and Lee Mi-do (Ahn Eun-jin), who have been dating for 10 years. As the topic of marriage swirls around them, their strong connection dulls with comfort and monotony, leaving the couple conflicted when new love interests pop up in their respective lives.

Why you should watch it: Written by Yoo Soo-ji and directed by Hwang Seung-gi and Lee Ga-ram, the series takes a realistic and relatable look at navigating long-term relationships, with all of the emotional messiness and angst that can come with spending year after year with a person. The natural chemistry between lead actors Seo Kang-joon and Ahn Eun-jin keep you rooting on for the on-screen pair, even when things

Stream "A Love Other Than Yours" on Prime Video now

'Neagley' season one

What it's about: A spin-off of the "Reacher" franchise, this action-packed crime thriller follows Frances Neagley (Maria Sten), a Chicago-based private investigator and former military protégé of Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) in the Army's 110th Special Investigations Unit. When our titular heroine learns that a beloved friend from her past has been killed in a suspicious accident, she taps into everything she learned from Reacher and sets out for justice.

Why you should watch it: As of press time, the Prime Video newcomer has a strong 91% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes; The Guardian critic Lucy Mangan praised the "violent Reacher spinoff" as "a glorious hour off from normal life," and added: "If you like Reacher, you’ll like Neagley – especially if, like its progenitor did, it gains more confidence and starts to allow a little levity to creep in."

Stream "Neagley" on Prime Video now

'Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba'

What it's about: Based on the Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotouge, this TV adaptation plunges viewers into the realm of humans and demons. We follow a kind-hearted teenage boy named Tanjiro Kamado (voiced by Natsuki Hanae and English-dubbed by Zach Aguilar) who joins a secret society of sword-swinging warriors to avenge his murdered family and find a cure for his sister, Nezuko (Akari Kitō and Abby Trott), who was transformed into a demon.

Why you should watch it: All four seasons of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba"—along with the franchise’s first film, 2021's "Mugen Train"—are available to watch on Prime Video as of September 15. The anime adaptation was widely acclaimed by critics, who praised "the animation quality and flowing battle scenes that integrate digital effects seamlessly" (per Patrick Frye for Monsters and Critics); the first season has a rare perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The weekend offers the ideal opportunity to watch some great movies on Netflix, and if your watchlist wasn’t already big enough, the streaming service is constantly adding new picks.

It’s September 2026 slate is packed with worthwhile new arrivals, but so much new content to consume can lead to decision paralysis as you spend more time debating what to stream than actually watching. That’s why I’m here to roundup a trio of arrivals worth your time.

My selections this week range from a brand new Netflix original comedy, to one of the very best action movies of the 1980s. Here are three new to Netflix movies to watch this weekend.

‘Best of the Best’ (2026)

Netflix has been on a frustratingly poor run of tentpole original movies lately. Earlier this week, I labeled the streamer's new mystery flick, “The Whisper Man,” one of the worst thrillers of the year (and I stand by it). However, the platform’s new teen comedy looks to be bucking the trend. The earlier reviews are positive, and it could be well positioned to surge up the top 10 charts this weekend.

In some ways, “Best of the Best” is your typical college sports movie, but its subject matter helps it stand out. It’s not set in the world of college football or basketball, but rather, competitive Bollywood-fusion dance. Starring “Never Have I Ever’s” Maitreyi Ramakrishnan and Priyanka Kedia, two best friends who join the UCLA team, and as they head for the US championships, they discover the competition is fiercer than expected.

Watch "The Best of the Best" on Netflix now

'Aliens' (1986)

The “Alien” franchise is a personal favorite, so if there’s an opportunity to fawn over the series, I’m going to take it. Netflix added both “Alien” and “Aliens” this month, and while the 1979 original is my top pick, this weekend I’m going with “Aliens,” simply because it’s no less of a masterpiece.

James Cameron's sequel is a near-perfect follow-up, trading the intense horror of its predecessor for '80s macho action. There are iconic scenes, phenomenal characters, and one of cinema’s best-ever movie monsters. Only this time, it’s not the one alien running loose; there are dozens of them!

Set 57 years after Ellen Ripley’s (Sigourney Weaver) first encounter with a terrifying Xenomorph, she’s awoken from stasis only to step into a new nightmare. The Weyland-Yutani Corporation has built a settlement on LV-246, the site where the Nostromo crew first encountered a ship full of Xeno eggs. With a squad of Colonial Marines in tow, Ripley heads back to the cursed planet, hoping to discover what happened to the colonists.

‘Stop! That! Train!’ (2026)

Described as a movie that “blends camp and comedy,” “Stop! That! Train!” is a comedy disaster movie that stars drag performers Ginger Minj, Jujubee, and the iconic RuPaul Charles. It’s a farcical ride packed with big comedy and silly moments. It didn’t find much success in theaters, but its arrival on Netflix could be just the ticket to find its audience. If you’re a dedicated fan of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” add it to your watchlist.

Tess (Minj) and DeeDee (Jujubee) are best friends who work as train stewardesses for the failing Stank Rail. When they sneak onto the swanky and snotty Glamazonian Express, a catastrophic storm threatens to derail the train and see it crash into Los Angeles. Joining forces with the sobby first-class attendants and with the U.S. president aboard (RuPaul), these underdogs must save the day and look good while doing it.

Watch on "Stop! That! Train!" on Netflix starting September 20

There’s nothing better than getting cozy with a new show over the weekend, especially when you’ve got a couple of days to settle in and let the episodes pile up. Netflix releases so much new content every week that there’s always something fresh to watch, but that can also make deciding what to stream next feel seriously overwhelming. With so many new shows landing on the service, it can be difficult to know which ones are actually worth adding to your weekend watchlist.

Thankfully, this week’s new arrivals offer plenty of options. There’s a disturbing story based on one of America’s most infamous murder cases, a new season of the “Stranger Things” animated adventure that takes us back to Hawkins for another supernatural mystery, and a true-crime docuseries that revisits chilling cases through the eyes of people who survived them. If you’re looking for something new to settle down with this weekend, these three Netflix shows are worth checking out.

‘Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story’

There’s no denying that viewers are often drawn to true crime, and the fourth installment of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s true-crime anthology franchise only proves that. “Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story” explores one of late-19th-century America’s most infamous murder cases, centering on Lizzie Borden, the complex and repressed 32-year-old at the center of the media circus. Variety’s Aramide Tinubu said this new chapter “offers something refreshing and wholly unique to the Monster canon.” So, if you’re looking for something dark to sink your teeth into this weekend, this show should scratch that itch.

Set in 1892, “Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story” follows Lizzie Borden (Ella Beatty), a young woman living with her wealthy family in Fall River, Massachusetts. Her life changes when Bridget “Maggie” Sullivan (Vicky Krieps), a new maid, arrives at the Borden household and quickly becomes close to Lizzie. Their relationship grows as tensions inside the family escalate, eventually leading to the brutal murders of Lizzie’s father, Andrew (Charlie Hunnam), and stepmother, Abby (Rebecca Hall). As the shocking crime captures national attention, Lizzie finds herself at the centre of an investigation and trial that will make her one of America’s most infamous murder suspects.

‘Stranger Things: Tales From ‘85’

If you’re missing the world of “Stranger Things,” you won’t want to skip the second season of the animated “in-betweenquel” spin-off. The series bridges narrative gaps within the original live-action timeline while keeping the aesthetic and tone of 1980s Saturday-morning cartoons. “Stranger Things: Tales From ’85” is lighter in tone than its live-action parent series to suit the animated medium, but it retains the atmospheric sci-fi dread and creature-feature elements without disrupting canon events. Plus, the retro visuals are particularly compelling.

Season 2 picks up after the events of the first season, with the Hawkins Investigators Club facing another strange mystery in the winter of 1985. As Valentine’s Day approaches, mysterious ghostly apparitions and strange creatures begin appearing around Hawkins, while a new threat emerges from the town’s abandoned silver mines. Eleven (Brooklyn Davey Norstedt), Mike (Luca Diaz), Will (Benjamin Plessala), Dustin (Braxton Quinney), Lucas (Elisha Williams), Max (Jolie Hoang-Rappaport) and Nikki (Odessa A’zion) set out to uncover what is happening before the supernatural activity causes a new gate to the Upside Down to open.

‘I Survived A Serial Killer’

True crime is clearly a popular and reliable genre on Netflix, and there’s plenty of evidence to back that up, with a new documentary seemingly always finding its way into the top 10. “I Survived a Serial Killer” recently landed on the service, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it climb the charts over the weekend. First released in 2021, this 16-episode doc feels like a spiritual extension of the long-running “I Survived...” franchise. Rather than sensationalizing the perpetrators, it shifts the focus toward the survivors themselves while also highlighting the investigative work behind each case.

“I Survived a Serial Killer” recounts the experiences of people who survived encounters with serial killers across the United States. Each episode focuses on a different case, with survivors describing what happened in their own words alongside interviews with investigators, legal experts and others connected to the cases. The series covers attacks spanning several decades, including cases involving the Railroad Killer, Dating Game Killer, Craigslist Killer, Grim Sleeper and Toybox Killer. Re-creations, archival footage, crime scene photographs and detailed timelines are used to piece together each survivor’s experience.

It feels like an understatement to say I love the Resident Evil games. Not only are they some of the best games out there, but the franchise as a whole has a special place in my heart. I’ve spent many hours playing (and replaying) the incredible remakes Capcom has released over the years, alongside some of the original classics, with "Resident Evil: Requiem" more recently becoming one of my favorite games of 2026. But as much as I’d love to ramble about the video game franchise and how much I adore it, it’s Zach Cregger’s “Resident Evil” movie I’m here to talk about.

“Resident Evil” has been quite a hot topic of conversation lately, with some game fans giving Cregger a hard time over the fact that his movie isn’t a direct adaptation of one of the games. The director, who helmed “Barbarian” and last year’s “Weapons,” chose to tell an original story set in this world, and that decision has sparked plenty of backlash. As a lover of the games and someone who’s now seen the movie, this kind of attitude towards the film and its talented team has frustrated me, not just because it’s actually a great film, but because I think people need to start giving original ideas a chance.

But there’s one thing that “Resident Evil” does that makes me appreciate it even more, while also making me view the games differently. Even though some game fans might be disappointed that we haven’t got a plot-for-plot movie about an established game, I think Cregger has stumbled onto something that was hiding in the games all along.

‘Resident Evil’ proves an original idea can work in a beloved franchise

“Resident Evil” is the best video game movie ever made. It’s not exactly a high bar to clear considering movie adaptations have typically been poor, but I still think it’s a great achievement. This is mainly down to the film being an original story set within the “Resident Evil” universe, taking place in the modern day during a heavy snowstorm. Austin Abrams plays medical courier Bryan, who has one job: urgently transport an important medical package to Raccoon City for twice his usual pay. He reluctantly agrees, but of course, his journey there quickly becomes a chaotic one.

A lot of the movie’s controversy centers around the fact that it has an original protagonist in an original story that doesn’t feature any of the games’ iconic characters, paired with the fact that it isn’t set in a rainy 1998. While I understand fans are eager to see a super faithful adaptation, I truly believe that might be almost impossible to pull off. Instead, we have a 90-minute experience that feels like Bryan is the player, thrown into a dire situation where he has to upgrade his weapons, find ammo and move from one location to the next. It captures the survival horror core of the games and what it actually feels like to play them.

Cregger avoided doing a direct adaptation because, at the end of the day, no matter who gets cast or how he chooses to tell the story on screen, people would find something to complain about. That’s the toxic side of fandoms, for you. “Resident Evil” ended up proving that original ideas in a beloved franchise can work, and I was most surprised by the direction this film went in. Of course, I’m avoiding spoilers to preserve the experience for viewers, but the ending really drives home that this is a brutal franchise with a lot of emotion, despite its sometimes goofy nature. Out of all of its strong elements, though, it’s the purpose of Bryan’s character that really stood out to me.

Bryan is actually the reason I think I’d view the “Resident Evil” games differently if I were to play them again. When you play as Leon, Claire, Jill or Chris, you’re obviously following the main story through the eyes of an established character, but the games have always been really clever about telling smaller stories in the background. You might pick up a random note, listen to a voice recording, stumble across an abandoned room, or discover something another character has left behind, giving you little glimpses into lives that exist beyond the protagonist’s own story. I realized just how much storytelling can be hidden in those smaller details, because Bryan feels like a character you might only ever encounter indirectly.

‘Resident Evil’ is actually a great movie

Cregger didn’t just create something special here with a thrilling story centered around an inexperienced protagonist. He created an intense survival horror experience that shuts down the claims that he apparently “slapped the IP onto this film” just to make some money. That’s very much not the case when you watch this as a true “Resident Evil” fan. During my screening, I was practically bursting with excitement whenever an Easter egg appeared on screen, not to mention the entire journey into the iconic Raccoon City and the first-person and over-the-shoulder perspectives that feel reminiscent of the games.

By no means is this perfect. There was a little too much humor for my liking, with the comedy wearing off and sometimes diminishing the horror. I’m also in the camp that thinks the third act is the weakest part, but it’s still insane regardless, with the very final shot serving as a powerful reminder that this is “Resident Evil,” and it is absolute carnage.

“Welcome to Raccoon City” clearly tried to bring a more faithful adaptation to the table back in 2021, but it was arguably one of the worst adaptations put on screen. Cregger made the right decision for his film by telling an original story centered on a character who essentially represents us, the player, navigating an outbreak while still incorporating several of the game’s important mechanics. I mean, you only have to look at the film’s Rotten Tomatoes score. Best video game movie ever made? Yes, and I’m sure many “Resident Evil” fans will agree.

With crisp air and autumn colors starting to swirl, you may find yourself at loose ends trying to decide what to watch this weekend. If so, fire up any of the new movies and shows on Netflix, Apple TV and other streaming services, as well as broadcast and cable channels.

As Tom’s Guide’s streaming editor, I watch TV and movies for a living, and I’ve rounded up the week’s biggest new arrivals and ranked them so you don’t have to waste your precious couch time endllessly scrolling. This week brings the return of “Slow Horses” for season 6, “MobLand” season 2 and a batch of civilian contestants backstabbing each other in “The Traitors: New Blood.” There’s also “Neagley,” a spinoff of "Reacher," the true crime drama “Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story” and movies getting a digital release, including “The End of Oak Street” and “Tony.”

Whatever your mood, this weekend’s lineup has something for everybody. Here’s my watchlist, ranked from "must see" to "maybe later."

1. ‘Slow Horses’ season 6 (Apple TV)

Genre: Spy thriller
Available now: 1 episode (48m)
What it's about: The Slow Horses have gone from MI5’s least-valued employees to someone’s most-wanted list. When former Slough House agents start turning up dead, Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) and his team are forced into hiding while trying to figure out who wants them gone. And somehow, Diana Taverner (Kristin Scott Thomas) is mixed up in the mess.
Why it's worth your time: Six seasons in, "Slow Horses" is still very good at playing the espionage game. Some familiar faces make a welcome return, including Olivia Cooke as the supposedly dead Sid. Another six episodes with MI5’s most dysfunctional department? Don't threaten me with a good time.
Where to stream: Apple TV

2. ‘MobLand’ season 2 (Paramount+)

Genre: Crime drama
Available now: 1 episode (about 50m)
What it’s about: The Harrigan family is back, and its criminal empire is looking more like a family therapy session with guns. Conrad (Pierce Brosnan) and Maeve (Helen Mirren) are facing threats from within and beyond the clan, while Kevin (Paddy Considine) has his own designs on the throne. Caught between them all is fixer Harry Da Souza (Tom Hardy), who has the deeply unpleasant job of keeping the family from imploding.
Why it’s worth your time: Welcome back to watching extremely glamorous people behave extremely badly. Hardy, Brosnan and Mirren remain the main attraction, while Guy Ritchie’s signature slick, kinetic style gives all that backstabbing some serious swagger.
Where to stream: Paramount+

3. ‘Youth’ (HBO)

Genre: Romantic comedy, dramedy
Premiere date: Episodes 1-2 on Sunday, Sept. 20 at 10 p.m. ET (about 30m each)
What it's about: Alex (Sharon Horgan) is a divorced London literary agent trying to keep her increasingly complicated life on the rails. There’s a troubled teenage son, aging parents, a demanding best friend/boss and Patrick (Rupert Friend), a Scot who's handsome but emotionally unavailable.
Why it's worth your time: Horgan has made a specialty of finding the funny in life’s less glamorous milestones (see: "Catastrophe"), and "Youth" promises another deeply relatable mess. This time, the joke is getting older but not any wiser.
Where to stream: HBO Max

4. ‘Tony’ (digital)

Genre: Biographical comedy-drama
Runtime: 1h 46m
What it's about: Before he was the culinary icon who could make a bowl of noodles sound like a religious experience, Anthony Bourdain was a cocky 19-year-old with a crush, a failed writing fellowship and something to prove. Set in 1975, “Tony” follows Bourdain (Dominic Sessa) as he flees to Provincetown and takes a dishwasher job at a local seafood restaurant, where a Portuguese chef (Antonio Banderas) teaches him a few lessons about kitchens and growing up.
Why it's worth your time: You don't need to be a Bourdain superfan to enjoy this intimate mini-biopic. Think coming-of-age film, but with more seafood and cocaine. Sessa is terrific as a young Bourdain, balancing his swagger with the insecurity underneath, while Banderas brings warmth and wisdom as his mentor.
Where to stream: Prime Video (with purchase)

5. ‘The Traitors: New Blood’ (NBC)

Genre: Reality competition
Available now: 1 episode (45m)
What it's about: Alan Cumming welcomes 22 ordinary Americans to his Scottish castle, where nobody is there to make friends. The Faithful must identify the secret Traitors hiding among them, while the Traitors quietly eliminate their competition and scheme their way toward a $250,000 payday.
Why it's worth your time: "The Traitors" is one of the juiciest reality shows on TV, and stripping away the Bravolebrities and "Survivor" alums should make the social game even messier. These are civilians with no established alliances or reputations to lean on. Basically: fresh faces, same paranoia.
Where to stream: Peacock

6. ‘The End of Oak Street’ (digital)

Genre: Sci-fi survival thriller
Runtime: 1h 39m
What it's about: A Michigan suburb gets yanked out of 1982 and dropped straight into the age of dinosaurs. As Denise (Anne Hathaway) and Greg Platt (Ewan McGregor) head toward divorce, they and their two kids, Audrey (Maisy Stella) and Brian (Christian Convery), must come together to survive a neighborhood suddenly crawling with very large, very hungry reptiles.
Why it's worth your time: If you’ve ever thought “Jurassic Park” could use more marital strife, this is the movie for you. Director David Robert Mitchell gives the dinosaur movie a nasty suburban twist, turning cul-de-sacs and picket fences into death traps. The dinosaurs aren’t majestic movie stars here; they’re predators.
Where to stream: Prime Video (with purchase)

7. ‘Neagley’ (Prime Video)

Genre: Action thriller, crime drama
Available now: All 8 episodes (about 45m each)
What it's about: Frances Neagley (Maria Sten) finally gets her own corner of the Reacher universe. Now a Chicago private investigator, the former Army special investigator starts digging when her childhood friend dies under suspicious circumstances. Her search pulls her into a dangerous conspiracy, forcing Neagley to call on old skills, new allies and the occasional assist from Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson).
Why it's worth your time: If the giant, brooding Jack Reacher has ever felt like a little too much protein, here's the leaner, meaner alternative. Maria Sten has been a standout as Neagley, and this spinoff lets her carry the action while digging into the character's history. Bonus: Alan Ritchson drops by.
Where to stream: Prime Video

8. ‘Best of the Best’ (Netflix)

Genre: Coming-of-age dance comedy
Runtime: 1h 52m
What it’s about: Childhood best friends Maya (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) and Anjali (Priyanka Kedia) join UCLA’s competitive Bollywood-fusion dance team, hoping to take home the U.S. championship. Instead, they find themselves tangled in rivalries, cliques, gossip and dance-team drama.
Why it’s worth your time: If you like your coming-of-age stories with big dance numbers and heart, “Best of the Best” looks ready to deliver. Ramakrishnan brings her “Never Have I Ever” charm to the lead, while Hasan Minhaj co-writes and co-stars as a professor. It’s a celebration of South Asian culture and collegiate dance that aims to be both genuinely heartfelt and gloriously fun.
Where to stream: Netflix

9. ‘Finding Emily’ (digital)

Genre: Romantic comedy
Runtime: 1h 51m
What it's about: When lovesick Manchester musician Owen (Spike Fearn) nabs the phone number of a mysterious student named Emily, he feels like it's fate. One tiny problem: She left a digit off. So he emails every Emily at the university and ends up meeting Emily Raine (Angourie Rice), an American psychology major who thinks romance is basically an evolutionary glitch and sees Owen’s quest as the perfect subject for her dissertation. Soon, they’re searching the city for his dream girl while getting a little too close themselves.
Why it's worth your time: “Finding Emily” doesn’t try to reinvent the rom-com wheel, but sometimes you just want the wheel to take you somewhere cute and cozy. Fearn is utterly charming as Owen, and the movie delivers good-natured laughs, a breezy soundtrack and a delightful ensemble of Emilys.
Where to stream: Prime Video (with purchase)

10. ‘RJ Decker’ season 2 (ABC)

Genre: Crime drama
Available now: 1 episode (45m)
What it's about: R.J. Decker (Scott Speedman) is back on the private-investigator grind, but Victor Ochoa’s murder has made his already messy life considerably messier. As he and Emi (Jaina Lee Ortiz) navigate the fallout, R.J.’s estranged father, Reggie (Beau Bridges), shows up with yet another “big opportunity.”
Why it's worth your time: This is a crime show that understands Florida is basically a genre unto itself. Season 2 keeps the danger and oddball cases coming while adding a particularly fun complication in Bridges as R.J.’s charming, unreliable dad.
Where to watch: Hulu

11. ‘Outlander: Blood of My Blood’ season 2 (Starz)

Genre: Historical romance
Premiere date: Episode 1 on Friday, Sept. 18 at 8 p.m. ET
What it's about: The parents of Jamie and Claire are once again learning that true love is a real pain in the neck. Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) and Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) are pulled apart when the 1715 Jacobite Rising sends Scotland into war, while Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine) and Julia (Hermione Corfield) suffer another separation after their attempt to return to their own time goes wrong.
Why it's worth your time: If you like your romance with a generous helping of swords, family grudges and supernatural time-travel woowoo, this "Outlander" spinoff continues to deliver the goods. Season 2 raises the stakes for both couples while digging deeper into the tangled family histories.
Where to watch: Starz

12. ‘Stranger Things: Tales From ‘85’ season 2 (Netflix)

Genre: Animated supernatural/sci-fi adventure
Available now: All 8 episodes (about 28m each)
What it’s about: The Hawkins Investigators Club members are looking forward to Valentine's Day fun and games — which, of course, get thoroughly derailed. Strange apparitions and creepy creatures are popping up around town, while a mysterious threat emerges from Hawkins’ abandoned silver mines.
Why it’s worth your time: This animated spinoff continues to mine the original series’ ’80s nostalgia while giving its younger heroes another supernatural mess to clean up. Season 2 also ventures into unexplored corners of Hawkins, including some ominous abandoned mines.
Where to watch: Netflix

13. ‘Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story’ (Netflix)

Genre: True crime horror
Available now: All 8 episodes (39–63m each)
What it's about: Ella Beatty stars as Lizzie Borden, the notorious 19th-century heiress accused of killing her father and stepmother with an axe. The series digs into the suffocating family life and forbidden relationship that precede the murders, with Vicky Krieps as Lizzie’s maid and Charlie Hunnam and Rebecca Hall as her parents.
Why it’s worth your time: "Monster" has found its first female subject, and Lizzie Borden is hardly an out-of-left-field choice. This season focuses on one of America’s oldest true-crime obsessions, while Sarah Paulson’s appearance as Aileen Wuornos connects Lizzie’s story to a later generation of notorious women.

"MobLand" season 2's premiere has finally arrived on Paramount+. And if you didn't know about the drama surrounding this show in the lead-up to its release, you'd assume everything was fine behind the scenes. Season 2 picks up right where we left off, as if it was just yesterday that we got the season 1 finale.

That includes Tom Hardy being front and center in this episode, which wasn't always a guarantee. A reported spat between him and showrunner Jez Butterworth led to rumors that Hardy had been fired from the show. Now, that was more likely to affect Hardy's possible appearance in the recently-announced "MobLand" season 3, but it's not impossible that it would have affected his role in season 2.

None of that matters now, though. As I said, you wouldn't even know there was a hint of offscreen drama after watching this episode. Conrad (Pierce Brosnan) and Maeve Harrigan (Helen Mirren) are still crazy, perhaps crazier than ever. And it's still Harry Da Souza (Hardy) who's stuck cleaning up their messes.

If you watched season 1, you already know "MobLand" doesn't shy away from violence. And this season starts off with an ultra-bloody affair.

Conrad and Maeve Harrigan, fresh out of prison, are meeting with Turkish gangster Gakbu Ruzgar at a dog track to discuss business. Only when they get there, Gakbu's not there. Instead, it's the Turkish drug lord's brother, and he's there to inform Conrad that the Turks are doing business with Conrad's son Kevin (Paddy Considine) instead.

Of course, this is taken as an insult, and Conrad shoots them all up in a pretty epic firefight. But while it may have been the cool thing to do, it's now turned up the heat on the Harrigans. Not only are the cops now looking into a fairly massive gangland killing, but Ruzgar's men are going to want vengeance.

But that's not Conrad's problem — it's Harry's. He ties up both loose ends neatly, for now. I think the police investigation will be an ongoing concern as the season progresses. It doesn't matter, though, because the main villain this season is Kat McAllister, who has just been appointed U.S. ambassador to the U.K.

While it's clear Kat is looking to take Conrad off the board this season, I don't think she'll be too directly involved just yet. I think that will be reserved for season 3.

Instead, it looks like Frankie (Johnny Flynn) will be the big bad for season 2. He's introduced to us via the retired DCI Tattersall (Toby Jones), who worked to try and take down the Harrigans in season 1. He's still focused on that task, and he plans to connect Frankie with Kat, so Frankie can do the dirty work of running London and cleaning out the town of all Harrigans.

We don't see much of Frankie, but from the brief glimpse we get, I think this dude is going to be a wacky villain. And I mean that in a good way. He's going to have some quirks, and I think we'll get some outbursts of violence from him that stick in our heads after the credits roll. Maybe it's something about the way he's dressed or his mannerisms, but I think Frankie ends up being a memorable villain for Harry to take down over the next nine episodes.
