Sorry for the delay in this weekend guide. I really lost track of the days this week and my Friday was incredibly packed and, well, you know how it is. Anyway, I’ll forego an introduction. There’s a lot of good stuff to see, so let’s dive right in!

Each week I scour the internet for the best new stuff coming to Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Apple TV, Disney+, and more. I also add new VOD options, theatrical releases, and other bonuses — including 4K Blu-ray releases — because even though this is a streaming guide, we should never limit ourselves. If you see something I missed, let me know on ÞjórsárdalurInstagram or Facebook

We’ll start with everything that’s new this week. Let’s dive right in!

New to Stream

The Secret Life of Orangutans (Netflix)

A new documentary about orangutans? I’m in! I love all primates, but there’s something special about these amazing creatures. Netflix has some really great nature documentaries and I’m looking forward to watching this one.

The Terror (Netflix)

A number of AMC shows have just been added to Netflix, including Interview with a vampire and various Walking dead shows, but I have for you, my dearest readers, one that tops them all.

I recently finished season 1 of The Terror but I enjoyed every minute of it. Based on a true story – with plenty of details filled in – the miniseries tells the story of two British warships – the Terror and the Erasmus – and their voyage to the Northwest Passage. A truly phenomenal cast, brilliant writing and acting, incredible attention to detail that makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the cold of the 19th century, lost in the Arctic. Some creepy supernatural elements. This series is a must-watch for anyone who likes period dramas and survival horror, not to mention a cast that includes Jared Harris, Tobias Menzies, Adam Nagaitis, Ciaran Hinds, and many other masterful actors. This is the exact opposite of the worst AMC series added to Netflix last week.

Dark Winds (Netflix)

An excellent crime series based on some of my favorite crime books by Tony Hillerman, Dark Winds is a Native American drama set on the Navajo reservation near where I live. I really enjoyed season 1, but season 2 wasn’t quite as good. Still, I hope this series gets many more episodes. The excellent Zahn McClarnon leads an all-star cast. This is another of the AMC series that just landed on Netflix.

Incoming (Netflix)

Incoming is Netflix’s take on the classic high school slut comedy. We follow a group of teenagers at a party. “Their first week of high school. The biggest party of the year. Mistakes are made as four teens endure a night of chaos and debauchery,” the synopsis reads. Critics hate this film (14% on Rotten Tomatoes), but audiences – under the new “Popcornmeter” – give it 68% at the time of this writing.

Pachinko Season 2 (Netflix)

Apple TV’s hit series returns for a second season. The series follows two timelines, one set in 1940s Osaka and the other in 1980s Tokyo, and tells the story of four generations of displaced Koreans struggling as immigrants in a hostile Japanese society.

The Murderer (Peacock)

John Woo’s classic 1989 Hong Kong action film is back as a remake by John Woo himself. You don’t see something like this very often! I’m still not sure if it’s a good idea, but the killer thriller stars Nathalie Emmanuel and Omar Sy. Unfortunately, it’s getting pretty poor reviews (56% on Rotten Tomatoes) compared to the original (95%), which doesn’t shock me at all.

Classifieds (Prime Video)

The blurb on Prime Video reads: “After being arrested at a protest, 15-year-old Ella Gardner must leave her home in California and spend the rest of her high school years in Johannesburg, where she experiences a different reality than she knows.” Sounds pretty interesting!

Current series

Bad Monkey (Apple TV)

I have now watched the first three episodes of Evil Monkey and although I have yet to write a review, I absolutely love it so far. I have never enjoyed Vince Vaughn as much as I do in this series. It’s funny, there’s an entertaining mystery, lots of colorful characters, and a great setting in the Florida Keys and the Bahamas. If you’re looking for something light and easygoing, but with just enough intrigue and violence to keep things exciting, this is a must-watch series. Apple TV keeps beating it hands down. Bravo!

Sunny (Apple TV+) starring Rashida Jones is about a woman whose husband and son disappear. She is left with her husband’s robot, Sunny, and tries to solve the mystery of her missing family in Kyoto, Japan. I’ve started watching this and it’s really fascinating so far! Jones is great. The robots are fascinating. Good stuff!

Forbes“Mad Max: Fury Road” has rekindled my love for physical mediaFrom Eric Kain

Industry (HBO / Max) has the free Sunday broadcasting slot of House of the Dragon on Max and HBO. The show is already in its third season and I only found out about it last week, but it sounds like a pretty good drama about ambitious young people in the London financial world.

The Serpent Queen (Starz) with Samantha Morton as Catherine de Medici in this historical drama full of intrigue and politics set in 16th century France. One of the highest rated shows in this guide with a 100% critics’ score and a 92% audience score.

The Lady in the Lake (Apple TV) starring Natalie Portman is a crime thriller about two women and the disappearance of a young girl in Baltimore in the late 1960s. 76% critics’ rating and 75% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
