8 Shows to Stream Right Now
Fool Me Once
Widowed mum Maya is disturbed by an image of her late husband captured on her toddler's nanny cam. - IMDB
I had mixed feelings about this series. There are some plot twists and turns and a surprise ending but also some bumps that may make you say hmm. If you enjoy suspense, Fool Me Once may be for you. With eight episodes, it’s an easy weekend binge. Available now on Netflix.
The Bear
A young chef from the fine dining world returns to Chicago to run his family's sandwich shop. -IMDB
Filthy language, intense, anxiety-inducing scenes, and just so good. Seasons one and two are now available on Hulu. Watch now and you can thank me later.
May/December
Twenty years after their notorious tabloid romance gripped the nation, a married couple buckles under pressure when an actress arrives to do research for a film about their past. - IMDB
The movie is a little odd and uncomfortable to watch at times. Still, it will seem familiar to you if you remember the news coverage of Mary Kay Letourneau and Vili Fualaau. Although the characters are changed slightly, the similarities are obvious and disturbing. The cast does a great job of showing the viewers what we could all imagine as the behind-the-scenes dynamic of a relationship that started with a crime. Watch on Netflix.
Percy Jackson
Demigod Percy Jackson leads a quest across America to prevent a war among the Olympian gods. - IMDB
Based on the Rick Riordan book, Percy Jackson is a family-friendly adventure that you can watch on either Disney Plus or Hulu.
Criminal Record
Follows two brilliant detectives in a tug of war over a historic murder conviction, dealing with issues of race, institutional failure, and the quest to find common ground in a polarized Britain. - IMDB
I am only two episodes into this show, which drops new episodes every Wednesday on Apple TV, but the premise is promising and the reviews are great. I’m invested in seeing how it ends.
Gran Tourismo
Based on the unbelievable, inspiring true story of a team of underdogs - a struggling, working-class gamer, a failed former race car driver, and an idealistic motorsport exec - who risk it all to take on the most elite sport in the world. - IMDB
The fact that this is a true story is fascinating. The movie is fun, exciting, and family-friendly viewing. You can catch Gran Tourismo now on Netflix.
Saltburn
A student at Oxford University finds himself drawn into the world of a charming and aristocratic classmate, who invites him to his eccentric family's sprawling estate for a summer never to be forgotten. - IMDB
I had to see what all of the buzz was about. I found this movie strange but entertaining. It is most certainly not family friendly but it is worth giving a watch. It is currently available on Amazon Prime and is free for Prime members.
Reacher
Itinerant former military policeman Jack Reacher solves crimes and metes out his own brand of street justice. - IMDB
Reacher is a great show with a lot of action and excitement and is perfect for a binge day since season two recently dropped. Watch it now on Amazon Prime.
I think I have given you some great options. Enjoy!
