Each week, our team of film and TV experts scour the entertainment landscape to select the ten best new/latest shows you can stream at home. We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates about what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings can get hurt, but whatever, this is an important service to you, our readers. With that in mind, here are our picks for this week.

15. Evil little letters (Netflix)

A British mystery comedy with Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley? Yes, that’s enough. Evil little letters is about a 1920s English seaside town that is turned upside down by scandalous mail (or whatever they call it there). A brash Irish migrant named Rose (Buckley) is accused of the crime, but when the townspeople, including buttoned-up local Edith (Colman), conduct their own investigation, “they suspect something is wrong and Rose may not be the culprit after all.” The trailer is very charming.

14. The Decameron (Netflix)

Tony Hale has a pretty solid track record when it comes to comedy. Buster in Arrested developmentGary in VeepFORKY in Toy Story 4 (do not hold Alvin and the Chipmunks – Road Chip against him). Next comes The Decameronit is as if The White Lotus took place during the bubonic plague pandemic (or as actress Jessica Plummer described it: “Love Islandbut back then”). The social satire receives enthusiastic reviews as “the best apocalyptic ensemble comedy since Notice.” Grab your juice and start watching.

13. Futurama (Hulu)

Last season on FuturamaFry, Leela, Bender, and co. took over an Amazon-like company their mother founded, caught an anger virus, and were made into toys (that was weird). In Season 12 (which is technically the second half of Season 8 if you go by production order, but for simplicity’s sake we’ll stick with Hulu’s season names), “the gang embarks on mind-boggling adventures that include birthday party games of life and death, the secrets of Bender’s ancestral robot village, AI friends (and enemies), impossibly cute beanbag chairs, and the true 5 million-year-old story behind the mind-altering substance called coffee.” Guest stars include Danny Trejo, Cara Delevingne, and Kyle Maclachlan.

12. Planet of the Apes: Kingdom (Hulu)

Some time ago I saw someone online arguing for Planet of the Apes than the consistently good film series. That’s an exaggeration (how quickly do we forget Ape Lincoln?), but there are more good films in the series than bad ones, especially among the newer films. Surprising box office hit Planet of the Apes: Kingdom had to justify its existence after the strong conclusion of the Caesar trilogy – and it did. The 10th overall. Planet of the Apes features typical CGI work and a stirring story about determination. You won’t hate every ape you see, from Chimp A to Chimp Z.

11. Stories of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Outstanding Plus)

2023 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem made a decent amount of money at the box office and got good reviews – but doesn’t it still feel underrated? It’s a really good film (and should have been nominated for an Oscar) Elementary)! Paramount Plus spin-off series Stories of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles takes place in the same universe as Mutant Chaosand the animation looks just as cool as in the movie. The Turtles’ voice actors (Micah Abbey, Shamon Brown Jr., Nicolas Cantu and Brady Noon) are also back, as is Ayo Edebiri as April O’Neil.

10. Mr Throwback (Peacock)

It is a Happy endings See you again! (Somehow!) Mr Throwback united Happy endings Creator David Caspe and lead actor Adam Pally in a mockumentary series about a souvenir dealer who reunites with a member of his sixth-grade basketball team: a guy named Steph Curry, who was a 10-time NBA All-Star. The cast also includes SNL Favorite Ego Nwodim and The after-party‘s Adyen Mayeri.

9. The instigators (Apple TV Plus)

A Damon/Affleck movie that isn’t about Matt and Ben?!? Now I’ve seen it all. The instigators Matt Damon and Casey Affleck play unlikely partners in a robbery, but when things go awry, “they find themselves caught in a whirlwind of chaos, pursued not only by the police but by backstabbing bureaucrats and vengeful crime bosses.” The rest of the cast is top-notch – including Hong Chau, Michael Stuhlbarg, Paul Walter Hauser, Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina, Toby Jones and Ron Perlman – although the aftermath of the Street House Debacle, it would be nice to see another Doug Liman film in the cinema.

8. The Umbrella Academy (Netflix)

The Umbrella Academy Season 4 bids farewell to the Hargreaves family, including Victor (Elliot Page), Luther (Tom Hopper), Klaus (Robert Sheehan), Number Five (Aidan Gallagher), Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman), Diego (David Castañeda) and Ben (Justin H. Min). Guest stars include David Cross as “a man desperately trying to reconnect with his estranged daughter” and real-life married couple Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally as college professors.

7. They shot the piano player (Netflix)

Did you know that the number one movie on Netflix this cursed week was mostly Emoji – The Movie? Yes, the movie where Patrick Stewart plays a talking pile of shit. That just doesn’t work. Why not watch a high-quality animated film instead, like the living They shot the piano player? The origins of Bossa Nova “capture a fleeting moment of creative freedom at a turning point in Latin American history in the 1960s and 1970s, just before the continent was overtaken by totalitarian regimes.”

6. Emily in Paris (Netflix)

She’s still Emily, she’s still in Paris and she still wears questionable outfits.

5. Immaculate (Hulu)

Still not on the Sydney Sweeney bandwagon? You will if you Immaculate. In the horror film, Tank’s mother plays a devout American nun who travels to a convent in Italy where things aren’t quite as they first appear. I hate it when that happens. The wild ending in particular is pretty great.

Watch it on Hulu

4. Solar opposites (Hulu)

Solar opposites does not get as much love and attention as Rick and Mortyanother sci-fi/comedy animated series, but it should. The show goes to some really unexpected places, including side stories to The Wall and SilverCops, and voice actors Dan Stevens, Thomas Middleditch, Sean Giambrone, and Mary Mack do a fine job as the chaotic former inhabitants of the planet Shlorp. I would die for the doll (assuming it doesn’t kill me first).

3. industry (Max)

This third season of industryconvinces me overall that there will be a future moment when this series will go beyond critical acclaim and maintaining a loyal but relatively modest audience. In a few years, this show could reach a whole new audience and be forgotten in a Suits-like manner. That USA Network show had a loyal audience that lasted for a decade, but years later, the show’s exploding popularity on Netflix led NBC to go back and breathe new life into the franchise. It’s very easy to imagine industry one day it will leverage the broad appeal of streaming in the same way. (You can read our review here.)

2. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (Max)

The world has Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga dirty. Maybe it is not an ice-cold masterpiece like Mad Max: Fury Roadbut only a few films are. The George Miller epic deserves more than making less money at the domestic box office than It ends with us. It has the best action sequence of the year, Anya Taylor-Joy is amazing and Chris Hemsworth delivers a truly Oscar-worthy performance. There’s also a character called Pissboy. Fire at will Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga at Max and make it the hit it should have been when it hit theaters.

1. Evil Monkey (Apple TV Plus)

Scrubs, Ted LassoAnd shrinkage Creator Bill Lawrence’s comedy empire expands with Evil Monkeya good show with a fun premise: Vince Vaughn plays a former cop who is now a health inspector in the Florida Keys. “But after stumbling upon a case that begins with a human arm fished up by tourists, he realizes that if he can prove murder, he can get back in. All he has to do is get past a horde of Floridian oddballs and an evil monkey,” says the plot summary. The show is based on the novel of the same name by author Carl Hiaasen and promises to be an entertaining summer treat.
