Gouts of flame in the skies, swords clashing below as dragons wage war on the high seas. Toys grappling with feelings of obsolescence against an onslaught of rapid technological change (something many of us can relate to). Aging bandits, alien private eyes, international spies . . . all this and more can be found in this week\u2019s edition of your friendly neighborhood weekend streaming guide.<\/p>\n
Widow\u2019s Bay came to a close this past week<\/a>, with a genuinely phenomenal finale that cemented the Apple TV comedy-horror series as my favorite new TV show of 2026 (so far). You can read my review of the finale right here<\/a>. Other shows, like Your Friends And Neighbors and The Terror have also ended recently, but there\u2019s no shortage of new entries to fill the gap.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been watching House of the Dragon Season 3 screeners, so I\u2019ll have a review and a recap of the first episode here on this blog<\/a> over the weekend. Be sure to subscribe! I\u2019m definitely excited to return to Westeros, even if Season 2 left a lot to be desired.<\/p>\n For movie night this week I picked the 1992 Western, Unforgiven, directed by Clint Eastwood. Eastwood stars alongside Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman. I\u2019d seen this one before, but it had been many years. I watched my 4k Blu-ray copy and it looked and sounded fantastic. Such a powerful story about justice, revenge, the nature of violence and power, one\u2019s capacity for these things. It\u2019s not available for free on any streaming services, but you can purchase it on Amazon Prime and other VOD services.<\/p>\n As always, I\u2019ve scoured the internet for the best TV shows and movies streaming on Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, Disney+ for you to watch this weekend. If you have any recommendations, tips or other thoughts feel free to shoot me a note. Let me know what you\u2019re watching these days, or if you\u2019ve enjoyed any of my recommendations, on Twitter<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, or Facebook<\/a>.

The episode is all about the Battle of the Gullet, the largest and most devastating naval battle in the history of Westeros. The prequel series was much-lauded in its first season, but faced quite a lot of pushback in Season 2, including from George R.R. Martin himself<\/a>, over changes to the original story from Fire & Blood<\/a>. In many ways, the second season simply didn\u2019t push the story forward, leaving us at much the same point we were at by the end of Season 1. Season 3 has gotten much better reviews<\/a> so far, with a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score (compared to 90% in Season 1 and 84% in Season 2). That\u2019s good news! As I noted above, my own reviews are forthcoming.<\/p>\n Sugar \u2013 Season 2 (Apple TV)<\/p>\n I can think of very few shows with a more shocking twist than Apple TV\u2019s Sugar. It\u2019s such a shocking twist that I won\u2019t spoil it here. The story follows private detective John Sugar (Colin Farrell) as he investigates the disappearance of the granddaughter of a wealthy movie producer in Hollywood. Things get weird. I\u2019m very excited to start Season 2.<\/p>\n I Will Find You (Netflix)<\/p>\n Netflix\u2019s latest miniseries based on a Harlan Coben novel stars Sam Worthington, Milo Ventimiglia, Erin Richards and Britt Lower of Severance fame. I Will Find You is based on the novel of the same name and tells the story of a man wrongly imprisoned for the murder of his son, who may actually still be alive. I\u2019ve read one Coben novel and I was not a fan, but hopefully this is good \u2013 though a 64% RT score<\/a> is only just barely fresh. I was perusing reviews and this audience review caught my eye: \u201cI really liked it. Yes, it is missing some key elements like character development, believable plot points and the wrap up at the very end was the most unsatisfying lazily written epilogue I could imagine to the story – but I was hooked from the beginning.\u201d Lol.<\/p>\n The Capture \u2013 Season 3 (Peacock)<\/p>\n I\u2019ve had several readers tell me that I need to start watching the British police conspiracy series, The Capture, and it\u2019s on my list! The show stars Holliday Grainger (who is excellent in the detective series, Strike) as Rachel Carey, a Metropolitan Police detective who finds herself in the middle of a vast high-tech conspiracy involving deepfake technology. It looks great!<\/p>\n The Agency \u2013 Season 2 (Paramount+)<\/p>\n Michael Fassbender, Jeffrey Wright, Jodie Turner-Smith and Richard Gere star in this espionage thriller about a spy ordered to abandon his undercover identity and return to real life. While this kind of thing is right up my alley, I didn\u2019t actually watch the first season though, like so many shows and movies, it\u2019s on my list! While there aren\u2019t enough reviews in for a Rotten Tomatoes consensus on the second season, the ones I\u2019ve seen tend to be quite positive. The entire season drops this Sunday on Paramount+.<\/p>\n New Movies To Watch This WeekendI Am Frankelda (Netflix)<\/p>\n I do love stop-motion animated movies and I Am Frankelda (or Soy Frankelda in Spanish) looks delightfully bizarre. The first-ever Mexican-made stop-motion film, the musical follows writer Frankelda as she journeys into her own subconscious where the monsters she created come to life. On her journey she meets a prince trapped inside of a nightmare and the wicked writer, Procustes. It sounds very creative, though the actual musical numbers have gotten mixed feedback. <\/p>\n Voicemails For Isabelle (Netflix)<\/p>\n Netflix\u2019s new rom-com stars Zoey Deutch as Jill, who leaves voicemails for her dead sister, Isabelle, as a way to deal with her grief. The twist? A man named Wes (Nick Robinson) has been given Isabelle\u2019s old number and apparently not set up a new voicemail message or something, because he\u2019s been listening to all her voicemails and slowly falling for Jill in the process. <\/p>\n A couple other older films are landing on streaming services this weekend, with horror hit, Wolf Man, out on Peacock and sci-fi action film, The Creator, landing on Hulu.<\/p>\n New Movies In Theaters This WeekendToy Story 5<\/p>\n The Toys are back in the fifth Toy Story installment, this time tackling the rise of screens and the threat tech devices pose to traditional play. I haven\u2019t seen this one yet, but I\u2019m excited for another adventure with Woody, Buzz and the gang, even if the ending of Toy Story 3 remains the perfect end to a perfect trilogy.<\/p>\n The Death Of Robin Hood<\/p>\n Hugh Jackman, Jodie Comer and Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd star in auteur director, Michael Sarnoski\u2019s latest film. The director of Pig and A Quiet Place: Day One tackles notions of myth and legend in this story of an aging Robin Hood who meets a mysterious woman and a young girl and, perhaps, a shot at redemption. It\u2019s an interesting concept, but the film has had very mixed reviews so far.<\/p>\n TV Shows Currently Streaming WeeklyFrom \u2013 Season 4 (MGM+)<\/p>\n We\u2019re down to just two more episodes of MGM+ horror mystery box series, From. I have mixed feelings about the season as a whole. While it started off strong, some of the most intriguing parts of the story have been all but abandoned. What happened to the Lake of Tears? Or Julie\u2019s story-walking? Why do they spend so much time treading water. Widow\u2019s Bay managed to tell a tighter, more exciting story in ten half-hour episodes, and I suspect that From would be better with shorter episodes and less filler as well. A lot of fans are also mad that we haven\u2019t gotten very many answers, but I\u2019m not really bothered by this so much. I expect we\u2019ll get some big revelations by the end of the season but that most loose threads won\u2019t be tied up until Season 5. Read my review of Episode 8 right here<\/a>. New episodes drop on Sundays, with the finale airing on June 28.<\/p>\n The Legend of Vox Machina \u2013 Season 4 (Prime Video)<\/p>\n The Legend Of Vox Machina<\/p>\n Credit: Prime Video<\/p>\n Since they\u2019re releasing these three episodes at a time, Critical Role\u2019s animated fantasy series, The Legend of Vox Machina, is almost done airing its fourth season. I\u2019m not quite caught up on this, but so far I\u2019m very much enjoying the adventures of Vex and Vax, Grog and Pike, Percy and Keyleth and all the colorful characters and outlandish situations they find themselves in.<\/p>\n The one thing I don\u2019t love? Scanlan isn\u2019t in this season. Following the character\u2019s path from the Critical Role campaign, he\u2019s out of the group for now, replaced by Taryon \u201cTary\u201d Darrington (voiced by Wayne Brady). Darrington is a fun new character, but I miss Scanlan. Three new episodes drop each Thursday on Prime Video for a total of 12, with the final three landing on June 24.<\/p>\n Star City (Apple TV)<\/p>\n Star City<\/p>\n Credit: Apple TV<\/p>\n Apple TV\u2019s hit sci-fi series, For All Mankind, explores a \u201cwhat if\u201d scenario: What if the Soviet Union had landed the first man on the moon, propelling a real space race that hadn\u2019t fizzled out decades ago? Star City takes us to the other side of the Iron Curtain, exploring this hypothetical scenario from the Soviet side. The series currently holds a 97% Rotten Tomatoes score<\/a>. New episodes drop weekly on Thursday evenings for a total of eight episodes, with the finale airing on July 9. <\/p>\n Cape Fear (Apple TV)<\/p>\n Cape Fear<\/p>\n Credit: Apple TV<\/p>\n Javier Bardem and Amy Adams star in this television series based on the novel The Executioners and its two film adaptations (1962 and 1991) both of which were also called Cape Fear. The story follows vicious ex-con, Max Cady (Bardem) and his revenge plot against married couple Tom (Patrick Wilson) and Anna Bowden (Adams). The series holds a 76% on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>. New episodes drop Thursday evenings for a total of 10 episodes, with the finale landing on July 30.<\/p>\n The Vampire Lestat (AMC+)<\/p>\n The Vampire Lestat<\/p>\n Credit: AMC<\/p>\n The Vampire Lestat follows the vampire, Lestat (Sam Reid), as he becomes a rockstar (Anne Rice based his persona on Jim Morrison of The Doors) and tries to set the record straight via his own autobiography rather than leave history to his old friend and rival, Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) and his infamous interview from Interview With A Vampire. New episodes drop on Sundays on AMC+ for a total of seven episodes, with the finale airing on July 19.<\/p>\n Dutton Ranch \u2013 Season 1 (Paramount+)<\/p>\n Dutton Ranch<\/p>\n Credit: Paramount<\/p>\n Yellowstone spinoff, Dutton Ranch, ollows Rip and Beth from Montana to Texas where they try to live a life of peace, somehow not realizing that if you own a ranch in Taylor Sheridan\u2019s universe, someone will try to take it from you and kill you in the process. Critics and fans are all pretty upbeat about Dutton Ranch<\/a>, with an 89% \/ 85% critic-audience split. The new show also stars Annette Benning and and Ed Harris. New episodes drop weekly on Fridays for a total of nine episodes, with the finale airing on July 3.<\/p>\n Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed (Apple TV)<\/p>\n Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed<\/p>\n Credit: Apple TV<\/p>\n Tatiana Maslany stars in Apple TV\u2019s new dark comedy series, Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, as a divorced fact-checker who forms an online relationship with a male sex worker and finds herself the target of a blackmail scheme. Things get darker from there. It has excellent reviews from both fans and critics<\/a>. New episodes drop on Tuesday evenings, with the finale landing on July 14.<\/p>\n Check out the week before last\u2019s streaming guide below<\/a>:<\/p>\n ForbesWhat To Watch This Weekend: New Shows And Movies To Stream On Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Apple TV And MoreBy Erik Kain<\/a><\/p>\n What are you watching these days?
