What to watch on Netflix, Hulu, Max, Disney+, Apple TV+, Prime Video, Paramount+, Peacock... and the list goes on. Streaming platforms have become a jungle, where you can easily lose an hour (or two) in the flood of movies and series, only to find yourself watching The Office again. But don't worry - we've saved you that painful decision.
What to watch on... Every week, our film sleuths comb through the offerings of all the major platforms and extract the hottest new releases - and rank them from worst to best. So you know what's worth watching and what to avoid like a broken mixer.
So, what's new on streaming this week?
12. The Electric State (Netflix)
“Retro aesthetics + CGI chaos = visual oversaturation.”
Millie Bobby Brown embarks on a journey through an alternate '90s post-apocalyptic America to find her missing brother. Chris Pratt accompanies her as a suspiciously familiar action hero, but the film fails to connect great visuals with a compelling story.
Do we recommend it?
Only if you like movies that look nice but have no soul.
11. The Parenting (Max)
"What's worse than an awkward meeting with your parents? The demon in Airbnb."
In this horror-comedy mix, two boys decide to introduce their parents to each other on a casual weekend getaway. The problem? The house is abandoned and slightly – well, quite – haunted. Brian Cox as the demonic father is the only real reason to watch.
Do we recommend it?
It's possible, but more like a Sunday "oh, let it be" movie.
10. Long Bright River (Peacock)
“A criminal, played by Amanda Seyfried.”
A police officer investigates a series of murders while also searching for her missing sister. The series is tense and emotionally powerful, but there's nothing we haven't seen before. With some Mare of Easttown vibes, but without the same spark, the story unfolds predictably.
Do we recommend it?
If you like detective stories with personal dramas, then yes.
9. Moana 2 (Disney+)
“More ocean, fewer iconic songs.”
Moana returns for a new adventure, where she must unite the ocean nations and overcome a curse. While the film offers spectacular scenes and reunites Moana and Maui, it lacks the musical power of the first film. Without Lin-Manuel Miranda, the songs simply don't stick in your head.
Do we recommend it?
Kids will love it, but adults will probably miss the magic.
8. Yellowstone (Peacock)
“The final chapter of the ranching saga.”
The Dutton family faces off against enemies, politics, and themselves for the final time. While the series remains tense and full of dramatic twists and turns, the final season doesn't deliver anything groundbreaking. It remains a must-watch for longtime fans of the hit series.
Do we recommend it?
Yes, if you've already invested five seasons of your time.
7. Evil Dead & Evil Dead (2013) (Shudder)
“Another proof that you never go to the basement in abandoned cabins.”
If you're a horror fan, this is a package you shouldn't miss - the original Evil Dead from 1981 and its bloody reboot from 2013. Zombie-demon chaos, chainsaws and Bruce Campbell's crazy grimaces - what more could you want?
Do we recommend it?
Only if you don't have trouble sleeping after watching.
6. Am I Being Unreasonable?, Season 2 (Hulu)
“A British comedy drama with a dark secret.”
Daisy May Cooper returns for a second season of this wonderfully quirky series that mixes comedy with horror. The sequel further deepens the psychological aspects of the story while maintaining its humorous yet uncomfortable moments. Are you ready for more twists and surprises?
Do we recommend it?
Absolutely, if you like British black comedy.
5. Everybody's Live with John Mulaney (Netflix)
“Mulaney brings chaos to live TV.”
John Mulaney hosts a new live show on Netflix, where he mixes improvisation, interesting guests and absurd segments. If you're expecting your usual talk show, you're wrong - here you get something a little more unpredictable, but always entertaining. The first guests? Michael Keaton and Cypress Hill.
Do we recommend it?
Yes, if you love Mulaney's dry humor and offbeat ideas.
4. Dope Thief (Apple TV+)
“Criminals playing cops is always fun.”
Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura are a pair of con artists who pose as DEA agents and rob drug dealers. The plan is brilliant - until it goes wrong. The action, suspense and great characters make this a real treat for crime drama fans.
Do we recommend it?
Yes, especially if you like series in the style Breaking Bad.
3. The Wheel of Time Season 3 (Prime Video)
“The fantasy saga finally finds its rhythm.”
After two seasons that divided audiences, the third season Wheel of Time finally hits the mark. More magical battles, more drama, and more epic moments. If you've been waiting for the series to really take off, now's the time to watch.
Do we recommend it?
Definitely, if you like richly constructed fantasy worlds.
2. O'Dessa (Hulu)
“A post-apocalyptic rock opera that will keep you hooked.”
Sadie Sink shines in this visually stunning musical fantasy, where a rebellious girl embarks on a dangerous journey to awaken an oppressed world with her music. Original, bold and full of heartfelt energy - one of those films that sticks in your memory.
Do we recommend it?
Yes, if you're ready for something truly different.
1. Adolescence (Hulu)
“The most emotionally powerful series of the year.”
Four episodes, each shot in one continuous shot, tell the heartbreaking story of a family facing a murder charge against their son. Excellent acting, masterful direction, and raw reality make the series unforgettable.
Do we recommend it?
Absolutely – but prepare yourself for a difficult emotional experience.
What now? What to watch on the platforms! Choose and enjoy!
Whether you're looking for epic fantasy, gritty crime, psychological horror, or lighthearted comedy, there's no shortage of content on streaming this week. If you're into classic horror, **Evil Dead** offers a dose of bloody nostalgia, while **Moana 2** will provide a family adventure (albeit without the songs you'll be whistling for months to come). If you're drawn into a chilling reality, **Adolescence** will leave you speechless, while **Dope Thief** and **Wheel of Time** offer adrenaline and action.
Of course, there's also the ever-present danger of wasting more time searching for the perfect movie than actually watching it. But now that you have a list, there's only one question left: what's your first choice? Get some popcorn, get comfortable, and enjoy your movie or TV show marathon!
