WHAT 2 WATCH THIS WKND
Gal Gadot, Lucy Hale, Jeremy Renner+
PASSING
We’ll watch Tessa Thompson in anything! She stars with Ruth Negga in this black-and-white period piece. The film explores “white-passing” and how people choose to live their lives. Watch it on Netflix.
RAGDOLL
In this crime series, Lucy Hale plays a detective who is looking for the Ragdoll killer. The serial killer pieces together body parts from different victims. Yeah, it sounds gross, but it’s going to be good. Watch it on AMC+ starting this weekend.
MAYOR PETE
Pete Buttigieg’s long-shot campaign is the focus of the Amazon Prime documentary Mayor Pete. It offers a fly-on-the-wall view of how he managed to make it as far as he did in his historic run for President.
RED NOTICE
If you’re looking for something entertaining, try Netflix’s Red Notice. It is an action romp starring Gal Gadot, Ryan Reynolds, and Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson. We could watch Gadot kick ass all day.
THE SHRINK NEXT DOOR
Paul Rudd — aka People’s Sexiest Man Alive — teams up with Will Ferrell for this AppleTV+ comedy. The series takes place over 30 years and also stars Kathryn Hahn. With these two comedic forces, you’ll binge this in no time.
MAYOR OF KINGSTOWN
Don’t confuse this with Kate Winslet’s Mare of Easttown. This Paramount+ series stars Jeremy Renner as a crooked businessman in Kingstown, Michigan. Incarceration is its booming industry with seven prisons. The show tackles systemic racism, corruption, and other issues.
YELLOWJACKETS
The Showtime series Yellowjackets follows a wildly successful team of teen soccer players who survive a plane crash. Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, and Sammi Hanratty portray four of the girls, with Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Christina Ricci, and Juliette Lewis as their adult counterparts 25 years after the accident.
