WTF to watch this weekend: Mashable's top 3 picks
Look, I know you can be underwhelmed and you can be overwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed? Reader, you absolutely can (and not just in Europe) — it's the feeling of not knowing what the hell to watch.
With avalanches of TV shows and movies consistently careening into cinemas and streaming services, and not all of it good, there's a chance you've just about had it with choosing what to spend your hard-earrned money and time on. There's just SO MUCH.
Luckily, Mashable's deeply obsessed, disarmingly tasteful, and superbly dressed entertainment team is constantly reviewing the series and films trying to elbow their way into your eyeballs — we even pick one as our Watch of the Week.
But in case you need slightly more to choose from, here are three (just three!) things are Actually Good to watch right now.
1. Agatha All Along
It's pretty much spooky season and while we can't yet offer up a new season of Wednesday, there's another seasonal delight for you. Agatha All Along, the MCU spinoff from WandaVision, is here with Kathryn Hahn leading a star-studded coven. It's our Watch of the Week this week, so we're not taking any chances of you not watching it.
As Mashable's Belen Edwards wrote in her review, "Agatha All Along feels like a witch's potion brewed specifically to make me giddy with joy. How could it not, when its ingredients include magical trials, rocking songs, and Patti LuPone herself?"
And make sure you watch Agatha All Along star Sasheer Zamata playing "Slash or Pass: Witches Edition" with us.
How to watch: The first two episodes of Agatha All Along are now streaming on Disney+, with new episodes every Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET.
2. The Babadook
10 years ago, Jennifer Kent created both one of the most terrifying horror movies of the 21st century and an LGBTQ+ icon. The Babadook is celebrating a decade of scaring the shit out of us and it's back in theatres. Check out Mashable's Kristy Puchko interviewing Kent in the video below.
How to watch: The Babadook 10th Anniversary re-release is now showing in cinemas nationwide.
3. How to Die Alone
Known for Insecure and The White Lotus, Natasha Rothwell's own show is all about seizing the damn day. Rothwell leads her deadpan-titled comedy How to Die Alone as Mel, a JFK airport employee who feels unfulfilled in life on many levels. When she's faced with a pretty embarrassing near-death experience, Mel gets a dose of perspective that propels her to get stuck into life.
Described by entertainment reporter Belen Edwards in her review as "a sweet, vulnerable ride", this show is one not to miss.
And make sure to check out Mashable's interview with Rothwell herself.
How to watch: How to Die Alone is now streaming on Hulu.
