10 Best Things to Watch on Streaming This Week

The streaming calendar doesn’t always cooperate. Most weeks, it’s a few decent options buried under a landfill of algorithmic filler. This week is different. Three major platforms dropped tentpole titles on the same Friday, a long-dormant cult classic returned for its final season, and a Marvel series with genuine momentum premieres Tuesday. The backlog cleared, the heavy hitters showed up, and the couch is suddenly the best seat in any room.

Whether you want Tommy Shelby’s last ride, a prank show that somehow got better in its second season, a suburban murder mystery that’s funnier than it has any right to be, or a documentary about professional bowling that will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about professional bowling, this week has it. Ten picks, zero filler. Here’s what to watch.

Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat

Prime Video | Reality prank comedy

The premise was already absurd once. Somehow, they pulled it off twice. Jury Duty: Company Retreat debuted with a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is the kind of number that sounds made up until you start watching and realize, no, this show really is that good.

The new mark is Anthony Norman, a 25-year-old temp who thinks he’s landed a gig helping a hot sauce company with its annual retreat. He has no idea that every colleague, every crisis, and every disastrous dinner theater night has been scripted around him. Anthony goes out of his way to ensure that each person he encounters feels welcome and seen, and that intelligence, care, and curiosity is something rarely found in unscripted television. New episodes drop Fridays. Don’t miss the first batch.

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Netflix | Crime drama film

Thirteen years. Six seasons. One Oscar in between. Cillian Murphy is back as Tommy Shelby, and the man still wears a newsboy cap like it’s a threat. The film jumps to 1940, with German bombers targeting Birmingham and Tommy now gray-haired and isolated on a crumbling country estate, but Barry Keoghan joins as Tommy’s illegitimate son, Duke, who’s taken over the Peaky Blinders and is running them directly into a Nazi counterfeit currency scheme. The film is uneven in places (the two-hour format can’t breathe the way the show’s seasons did), but it captures the essence of what made the series special while giving Tommy Shelby a final chapter that feels both powerful and personal. For the faithful, it’s a proper farewell. For newcomers, it’s a very stylish entry point into a mythology 13 years deep.

DTF St. Louis

HBO/Max | Dark comedy limited series

The name is exactly what it sounds like, and the show is nothing like what you’d expect. Jason Bateman plays Clark, a St. Louis weatherman; David Harbour plays Floyd, his new best friend, an ASL interpreter who feels like life has passed him over; and Linda Cardellini plays Carol, Floyd’s wife, who enters a covert arrangement with Clark that becomes the center of a murder investigation. The murder is almost beside the point. What makes DTF St. Louis addictive is that viewers are never entirely certain whose perspective to trust or who to root for in this love triangle. It holds an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes and has become HBO’s most-watched show of the month (which, given that The Pitt exists, says something). Catch up before the April finale.

Wicked: For Good

Peacock | Musical film

The one that completed the cultural moment. Wicked: For Good made its streaming debut on March 20, with Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba working in the shadows to expose the Wizard’s plan, while Ariana Grande’s Glinda reigns in Emerald City, haunted by their estrangement. The film brought in two brand-new songs from original composer Stephen Schwartz, and the Peacock debut comes loaded with bonus content for the fan who wants to live inside Oz for a full weekend. The sequel grossed $533.7 million worldwide, meaning a lot of people already have opinions. Now you can form yours from the couch.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2

Disney+ | Superhero drama series

The premiere lands Tuesday, March 24, and Hell’s Kitchen is about to get complicated again. Season 2 follows Matt Murdock’s attempts to oust Wilson Fisk as Mayor of New York City, with eight weekly episodes running through mid-May. The showrunners have promised they’ll lean harder into the show’s street-level brutality (the stuff that made the original Netflix run a genre benchmark) and the season reunites several Defenders alumni, including Jessica Jones. For Marvel fans burned by the franchise’s uneven streaming output over the past few years, this one has the pedigree to be different.

The Comeback Season 3

HBO/Max | Cult comedy series

Lisa Kudrow’s Valerie Cherish has been anticipating this moment for 21 years. Season 1 premiered in 2005, satirizing reality TV two years before the Kardashians made it a way of life. Season 2 arrived in 2014, skewering prestige cable. Season 3, the final one, finds Valerie offered the lead in a new sitcom written by AI, which she’s hesitant to accept. The joke writes itself, but the execution is Kudrow’s alone. If you’ve never seen The Comeback, start at the beginning. If you have, you already know: Valerie Cherish doesn’t just want the room. She needs it.

Deadloch Season 2

Prime Video | Australian crime comedy

The mismatched detectives of Deadloch deserve to be as well known as Sherlock Holmes and Kay Scarpetta, and Season 2 picks up with Dulcie Collins and Eddie Redcliffe investigating the death of Eddie’s former policing partner. The Australian crime-comedy landed quietly during its first run but earned a devoted following for its sharp writing and genuinely funny central dynamic. If you slept on Season 1, this weekend is a good time to catch up.

Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen

Netflix | Horror series

The title is the premise. An atmospheric horror series following a bride (Camila Morrone) and groom (Adam DiMarco) in the week leading up to their ill-fated nuptials, with Jennifer Jason Leigh co-starring. All eight episodes dropped Thursday, making it a full binge-watch weekend if the premise hooks you in the first episode. If you need your horror to feel inevitable from the opening credits, this is for you.

The Count of Monte Cristo

PBS | Period drama series

Sam Claflin plays Edmond Dantès, the young sailor falsely accused of treason and imprisoned without trial on a grim island fortress off Marseille, France, with Jeremy Irons co-starring in this latest adaptation of the Alexandre Dumas classic. Dumas wrote the original as a serialized revenge fantasy, and it still works as one. PBS period dramas are a particular kind of patient, well-dressed pleasure, and this one arrives at exactly the right moment, right when you’re tired of everything moving too fast.

Born to Bowl

HBO/Max | Documentary series

Last but not least, the best documentary on streaming this week and the most unexpected recommendation on this list. Professional bowling is no longer airing weekly on network television or minting champions whose career earnings rival those of the NHL or NBA, but there are still plenty of characters who make the sport intriguing, many of whom are the subjects of this docuseries. Liev Schreiber’s narration belies both a fondness and a level of amusement with the eccentrics at the top of the field. The sport is weirder than you remember. The people are weirder than the sport. Watch it.
