But if you're seeking something brand new (or just new to streaming), we've got you covered there, too.

18. Christy

Sydney Sweeney swung hard in this Oscar bait biopic of boxer Christy Martin. But it was a big swing and a miss.

While Christy does explore the struggles Martin faced in a male-dominated sport, at home with her abusive husband, and as a closeted gay woman, it does so with all the nuance of a a sledgehammer. As I wrote in my pan out of TIFF, "This movie is a mess, and Sweeney is a contributor to that, not its highlights. For one thing, she uses Martin's West Virginia background as an excuse to slap on a thick Southern accent that comes and goes. For another, while her look is different in Christy, it doesn't read 'athlete,' as she lacks tone and physicality...

"[Director David] Michôd seems most riveted by the criminal violence than any other aspect of Martin's story. So even what this film has to say about being a woman in sports, or a lesbian in America, or a person at all, is perplexing. In the end, Christy doesn't hit hard. It just blows."* — Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor

Starring: Sydney Sweeney, Ben Foster, Merritt Wever, and Katy M. O'Brian

How to watch: Christy is now streaming on HBO Max.

17. The Reunion: Laguna Beach

Reality TV was booming in 2004 when Laguna Beach introduced eight teens from Laguna Beach High to the world, giving us access to their highs and lows.

The Season 1 cast reunites here to look back on Laguna Beach, revealing what was happening behind the scenes and how they feel about it now. However, where a lot of Bravo reunions seem to center on explosive moments, this trailer for The Reunion: Laguna Beach suggests this will be more about healing than hair-pulling. Cheers to host Casey Wilson (Happy Endings), who seems to create a welcoming bonfire environment for the cast. — K.P.

Starring: Kristin Cavallari, Stephen Colletti, Casey Wilson, Lauren Conrad, Jessica Smith, Alex Hooser, Talan Torriero, Dieter Schmitz, and Lo Bosworth

How to watch: The Reunion: Laguna Beach premieres on Roku on April 10.

16. Trust Me: The False Prophet

This true crime mini-series is not for the faint of heart, as it's infuriating on a lot of levels. The story begins with the Mormon community left behind when self-proclaimed prophet Warren Jeffs was convicted of sexually assaulting two children. From there, cult expert Christine Marie and her husband, videographer Tolga Katas, sought to infiltrate the community for a documentary. And that's how they met Sam Bateman, another self-proclaimed prophet who would take Jeffs' place in more ways than one.

The four-part series offers a stomach-churning investigation into Bateman's manipulation, abuse, and rape of his many wives, including child brides. This is unnerving on its own, but Trust Me: False Prophet has an added layer of discomfort because of how Christine Marie aims to insert herself in the center of the narrative as as undercover informant for the FBI, who feels guilt for lying to the girls and women she's aiming to save.

While Marie's end goal is undeniably good, there's a jarring sense that she came here not on a rescue mission but as a means of self-promotion. And while she's not a producer or director on this production, co-helmers Rachel Dretzin and Elise Coker give her a lot of attention that threatens to undermine the bigger story of religious corruption, criminal conspiracy, and sex trafficking. — K.P.

How to watch: Trust Me: The False Prophet is now streaming on Netflix.

15. Untold: Chess Mates

Do you remember when a chess master was accused of cheating by using anal beads to direct his actions? Well, that wild story is at the heart of Untold: Chess Mates.

The documentary sits down with Magnus Carlsen, who many regard as the best chess player of all time, and Hans Niemann, a rising star with an ego as impressive as his prowess at the game. In 2022, at the Sinquefield Cup, the chess world was rocked when Niemann defeated Carlsen. And soon the rumors of cheating began. The anal beads theory gained traction online. So where are they now? Untold has the answer. — K.P.

How to watch: Untold: Chess Mates is now streaming on Netflix.

14. The Addiction of Hope

What if you dedicate your whole life to a dream that doesn't come true? This is the agonizing realization of Jo Stock (Anne-Marie Johnson), an aging actress who's forced to look back on her choices when her sister, Lynnie (Harley Jane Kozak), becomes ill.

With shades of Beaches, The Addiction of Hope explores what we sacrifice for our work when it comes to family. Given a chance to reconnect with her family, will Jo embrace them, or pursue one last shot at fame and fortune? — K.P.

Starring: Anne-Marie Johnson, Erika Alexander, Shari Belafonte, Clancy Brown, Anthony Carvello, and Tom Dugan

How to watch: The Addiction of Hope is now available to rent or purchase on Prime Video.

13. Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord

Get your Star Wars fix this week with Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, a new animated series from Lucasfilm president Dave Filoni. Boasting strong critical buzz, the series begins in the aftermath of the Clone Wars, with former Sith lord Maul (voiced by Sam Witwer) hoping to rebuild his criminal syndicate on the planet Janix. He's also on the hunt for a new apprentice, so expect some intriguing Sith shenanigans. — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

Starring: Sam Witwer, Gideon Adlon, Wagner Moura, and Richard Ayoade

How to watch: Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord's two-episode premiere is now on Disney+.

12.  Sirāt

Ready for a road drama that'll rattle your ear drums? Óliver Laxe directs Sirāt, which won the Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize and scored two Oscar nominations, for Best Sound and Best International Feature.

Sergi López and Bruno Núñez Arjona star as a portly father and his young son who are attending a rave for a surprising reason. They're searching for Mar, their missing daughter and sister, respectively. Deep in the mountains of southern Morocco, they show her photo to revelers and ravers, desperate for a lead to her whereabouts. Determined to find her, they'll follow the progression of this party, deeper and deeper into the wilderness. But how far can they go? — K.P.

Starring: Sergi López, Bruno Núñez Arjona, Richard Bellamy, Stefania Gadda, Joshua Liam Henderson, Tonin Janvier, and Jade Oukid

How to watch: Sirāt is now available on Hulu.

11. The Miniature Wife

Ready for a wacky new comedy series about an unconventional marriage? The Miniature Wife has arrived.

Elizabeth Banks stars as best-selling author Lindy Littlejohn, whose marriage with scientist husband Les (Matthew Macfadyen) hits a rough patch when his latest experiment accidentally shrinks her to six inches tall. Bad news is that he's not yet perfected the enlarging device, and there's a 30-day clock on development before his research goes to a greedy tech billionaire. Slapstick and hijinks will ensue as the ticking clock counts down. — K.P.

Starring: Elizabeth Banks, Matthew Macfadyen, Zoe Lister-Jones, Sofia Rosinsky, O-T Fagbenle, and Sian Clifford

How to watch: The Miniature Wife is now streaming on Peacock.

10. The Boys, Season 5

If you want a thoroughly unpleasant TV viewing experience this week, watch The Boys Season 5. The superhero satire's final season sees Homelander (Antony Starr) fully in control of the United States and on a mission to keep it that way forever. Can the Boys stop him before he gains the immortality he so desperately craves?

The Boys' portrait of authoritarian America skews eerily close to real life this season, yet its satire is missing any bite beyond just listing heinous things Homelander and his crew are carrying out. Because of this, The Boys Season 5 is a numbing, exhausting experience saved only in parts by the Boys' juicy character dynamics. As I wrote in my review, this is "The Boys' darkest, most dour season yet — one that plays at commenting on our fractured America, but only offers shock value as opposed to real substance." — B.E.

Starring: Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Colby Minifie, Cameron Crovetti, Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jensen Ackles, and Daveed Diggs

How to watch: The Boys Season 5 is now on Prime Video.

9. Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat Reunion Special

The truth is out: Anthony Norman knows that Rockin' Grandma's Hot Sauce isn't a real company, and that his experience on Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat was all a part of an elaborate prank show. But what does life look like for Anthony after Jury Duty? These two bonus episodes will let us know. First up is a reunion episode hosted by Season 1's James Marsden. Then, Jury Duty worlds collide as Anthony meets up with Season 1's non-actor Ronald Gladden for a chat about their experiences. — B.E.

Starring: Anthony Norman, Blair Beeken, Alex Bonifer, Warren Burke, LaNisa Renee, Jerry Hauck, Erica Hernandez, Stephanie Hodge, Rachel Kaly, Rob Lathan, Emily Pendergast, Marc-Sully Saint-Fleur, and Jim Woods

How to watch: Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat Reunion Special is now available on Prime Video.

8. Thrash

Norwegian filmmaker Tommy Wirkola has given audiences such outrageously ultra-violent genre-bending delights as the Santa-kicks-ass actioner Violent Night, the gonzo fairytale thriller Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, and the zombie Nazi horror-comedies Dead Snow and Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead. So, that alone should be reason to hit play on his latest, Thrash. But you could have also sold us on its premise: Category 5 hurricane plus hungry sharks.

It's a disaster movie and a creature feature. And yes, the trailer is using a dramatic version of "Baby Shark." What else could you want? — K.P.

Starring: Phoebe Dynevor, Whitney Peak, Alyla Browne, and Djimon Hounsou

How to watch: Thrash is now streaming on Netflix.

7. Dimension 20: City Council of Darkness

Brace yourselves, fellow Dungeons and Dragons nerds, because Dropout is coming for the jugular with the next season of Dimension 20. Coming hot on the heels of Gladlands, the next adventure will reunite Game Master Brennan Lee Mulligan with intrepid heroes Emily Axford, Ally Beardsley, Brian Murphy, Zac Oyama, Siobhan Thompson, and Lou Wilson for some role-playing in the realm of Vampire: The Masquerade.

This 14-episode season will have focus on these bloodsuckers (of various sorts) working together on the city council, to make this small town of Purpee as pleasant as it can be. It's giving What We Do In the Shadows, and we're not mad. — K.P.

Starring: Brennan Lee Mulligan, Emily Axford, Zac Oyama, Siobhan Thompson, Lou Wilson, Ally Beardsley, and Brian Murphy

How to watch: Dimension 20: City Council of Darkness is now streaming on Dropout.

6. Big Mistakes

Schitt's Creek's Dan Levy cooks up another dysfunctional TV family in the new comedy Big Mistakes, co-created with Rachel Sennott. He plays a pastor named Nicky, who, along with his schoolteacher sister Morgan (Taylor Ortega), gets swept up in the world of organized crime. Are either of them prolific criminals? No. Do either of them want to be doing this? Absolutely not. Their reluctance at every turn keeps Big Mistakes' laughs coming, even if the trope of newbies being drawn into criminal activity is familiar. Plus, Levy and Ortega are a hoot together, while Laurie Metcalf brings the house down as the clan matriarch. — B.E.

Starring: Dan Levy, Taylor Ortega, Laurie Metcalf, Jack Innanen, Boran Kuzum, and Abby Quinn

How to watch: Big Mistakes is now streaming on Netflix.

5. Hacks, Season 5

Strap in for one last ride with Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder), because Emmy–winning comedy Hacks comes to an end this year. In Season 5, the pair are working hard to cement Deborah's legacy as a great comedian — especially after she's mistakenly reported dead. Don't worry, she's fine! And her connection with Ava is stronger than ever, setting up a swan song for one of the most compelling friendships on TV right now. — B.E.

Starring: Jean Smart, Hannah Einbinder, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Megan Stalter, Paul W. Downs, Rose Abdoo, and Mark Indelicato

How to watch: Hacks Season 5 is now streaming on HBO Max.

4. The Testaments

Return to the dystopian hellscape of Gilead in The Testaments, a new series set several years after The Handmaid's Tale. Based on Margaret Atwood's 2019 novel of the same name, the show focuses on the daughters of Gilead's Commanders as they attend a prep school for future wives. But even as figures like Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) try to mold them into perfect, subservient wives, these young women start to rebel in small, but increasingly important ways.

The Testaments can get as tough to watch as its predecessor, but it also finds a renewed energy thanks to its different points of view and a talented young cast. As I wrote in my review, "The series finds new power in its young adult perspective, centering on people who have never known anything but authoritarianism, but who are slowly gaining the resolve to do something about it. Perhaps that messaging, combined with some of The Testaments' use of YA tropes, will speak to audiences of [its protagonists'] age in a way that the bleakness of The Handmaid's Tale might not be able to." — B.E.

Starring: Chase Infiniti, Lucy Halliday, Eva Foote, Rowan Blanchard, Kira Guloien, Amy Seimetz, Brad Alexander, Birva Pandya, Zarrin Darnell-Martin, Mattea Conforti, Shechinah Mpumlwana, Mabel Li, Isolde Ardies, and Ann Dowd

How to watch: The Testaments is now streaming on Hulu.

3. Euphoria, Season 3

After four years, Euphoria Sundays are finally back, so if you want to join in on the online conversation about the much-memed show, now's your chance. Season 3 picks up five years after Season 2. In that time, Rue (Zendaya) has become a drug mule for Laurie (Martha Kelly), Jules (Hunter Schafer) has become a sugar baby, Nate (Jacob Elordi) and Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) are engaged, and Maddy (Alexa Demie) and Lexi (Maude Apatow) are working in Hollywood. How is this crew adjusting to the Wild West of their early 20s? (Spoiler alert: not really well.)

Season 3's time jump comes with an intriguing aesthetic reinvention, but there are several core problems Euphoria just can't shake. This season continues to hypersexualize and humiliate its young cast, including several storylines about sex work that are not dealt with with the nuance and care they deserve. It's extra frustrating because, as I wrote in my review, "There's a great show lurking in here somewhere. So much of Rue's journey proves it. Yet Euphoria keeps smothering that greatness with something far grosser, and that's something no amount of reinvention can hide." — B.E.

Starring: Zendaya, Maude Apatow, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney, and Colman Domingo

How to watch: Euphoria Season 3 debuts on HBO Max on April 12.

2. Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair

Malcolm and his whole trouble-making family is back with a four-episode mini-series that will have fans of all ages absolutely cackling.

Set about 20 years after Malcolm in the Middle's series finale, Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair sees its eponymous genius (Frankie Muniz) as a single dad who tries to maintain his mental health by avoiding his biggest source of stress, the rest of his family. But with Lois (Jane Kaczmarek) and Hal (Bryan Cranston) planning a big 40th anniversary party, Malcolm, his teen daughter (Keeley Karsten) and new girlfriend (Kiana Madeira) will have to join in on the chaotic fun, right?

A reboot that is terrifically funny and heartfelt, Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair will hook you from the first ep, and have you binging the whole batch. So, plan your watch accordingly. — K.P.

Starring: Frankie Muniz, Jane Kaczmarek, Bryan Cranston, Christopher Masterson, Justin Berfield, Emy Coligado, Caleb Ellsworth-Clark, Anthony Timpano, Vaughan Murrae, Keeley Karsten, and Kiana Madeira

How to watch: Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair is now streaming on Hulu.

Best of streaming this week: The Audacity

From Succession and Better Call Saul writer Jonathan Glatzer comes The Audacity, a sharp Silicon Valley satire. Billy Magnussen stars as data-mining CEO Duncan Park, whose quest for greatness leads him down some wildly unethical paths. Caught in the crossfires is his therapist, Dr. JoAnne Felder (Sarah Goldberg), who gets more than she bargains for when she tries to exploit her relationships with her "billionaire man children" clients.

What follows is a delicious send-up of the tech world, bursting with questions about how Silicon Valley and its overlords have warped our humanity over time. It's a cutting commentary that manages to feel both heightened and close to home, all anchored by incredible lead performances. As I wrote in my review, "There are few joys in television greater than watching two great actors have it out, and you'll get plenty of that in The Audacity thanks to Magnussen and Goldberg." — B.E.

Starring: Billy Magnussen, Sarah Goldberg, Zach Galifianakis, Rob Corddry, Meaghan Rath, Simon Helberg, Paul Adelstein, Lucy Punch, Everett Blunck, Thailey Roberge, and Ava Marie Telek

How to watch: The Audacity debuts on AMC+ on April 12.
