WHAT TO WATCH
Our guide to the best movies and TV shows streaming online, updated daily.
‘SHADOW AND BONE’
Netflix's Shadow and Bone is exactly the kind of epic escape we all need right now. Based on Leigh Bardugo's best-selling Grishaverse books, the series follows the dual plots of Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li) and the irrepressibly charming "Crows." Alina's life is turned upside down when she discovers that she may be the long-awaited Sun...
‘THE ASSISTANT’
Though it was snubbed this awards season, it's hard to think of a more timely movie than The Assistant, which was written, directed, produced, and edited by Australian filmmaker Kitty Green, and is now streaming free on Hulu. The always-excellent Julia Garner delivers a devastating performance as a quiet twenty-something woman named Jane, a junior ...
‘THIS IS 40’
Listen, it's been a tough year. And sometimes you need a laugh. Like, a big, giant, Paul Rudd-inspired belly laugh. Which is why you're going to want to stream this film which focuses, hilariously, on a milestone birthday and the existential predicament which so many times comes with it. The main characters are snatched from Director Judd Apatow's ...
‘GENERATION HUSTLE’
Who doesn't love a good scam? That's the question posed by HBO Max's latest docuseries.

It's...
‘NOBODY’ (2021)
Who could have known Bob Odenkirk is a secret action star? I sure didn't! Directed by Ilya Naishuller, Nobody features Odenkirk as seemingly mild-mannered dad and office drone, Hutch Mansell, whose secret past comes back (in a big fucking way!) after a home invasion threatens his family. The result is a taut 92-minute bone-crunching,...
‘CRUEL SUMMER’
Freeform's Cruel Summer is the latest must-see crime drama. Executive producer Jessica Biel takes all the darkness of The Sinner and repackages it as a twisted teen soap, pitting popular girl Kate (Olivia Holt) and self-professed nerd Jeanette (Chiara Aurelia) against each other in '90s small town Texas. When Kate is kidnapped, Jeanette...
‘ARLO THE ALLIGATOR BOY’
A classic tale of finding one's place, placed squarely in an accepting modern world, Arlo The Alligator Boy is a heartwarming journey filled with distinctive characters and bursting with optimism, not to mention memorable Broadway-style pop tunes.
