With spring now upon us, a fresh array of shows and films are available to enjoy this weekend on Netflix, Prime Video, and other top streaming services.
Leading my weekend viewing lineup is the season 2 finale of “Severance.” Whether you’re catching up or revisiting to uncover any missed details, this episode is a must-watch. There are also two significant TV debuts this weekend: “The Residence,” a detective story set in the White House, and the true crime drama “Good American Family.”
On the movie front, the Oscar-nominated “Wicked” and “Sing Sing” are now available on subscription streaming. Both offer captivating storytelling and are definitely worth your time this weekend.
For those interested in new TV shows, “Severance” season 2 concludes its journey with an episode titled “Cold Harbor,” promising potential revelations about Mark’s (Adam Scott) entanglements, likely involving his presumed-dead wife, Gemma (Dichen Lachman). The other characters also face their pivotal moments, hinting at a thrilling continuation of the narrative.
In addition, “The Residence,” produced by Shonda Rhimes, combines elements of mystery with a touch of elegance. Set amidst the White House’s staff, the story follows Detective Cordelia Cupp (Uzo Aduba) as she investigates the murder of Chief Usher A.B. Wynter (Giancarlo Esposito) during a high-profile dinner, navigating through a web of suspects and political tension, with all eight episodes currently available on Netflix.
Another compelling offering this weekend is “Good American Family” on Hulu, inspired by the unusual tale of Natalia Grace, a girl adopted by the Barnetts. As doubt clouds the family’s perception of her identity and age, shifting narratives unfold, revealing a complex family dynamic grappling with truth and trauma. The first two episodes are now streaming on Hulu.
Finally, if you’re looking for heartwarming stories, “Sing Sing” depicts the transformative power of art within a New York prison, showcasing the realities of inmates involved in the Rehabilitation Through the Arts program, proving to be an inspiring watch. The film, along with others such as “Wicked,” and “Tyler Perry’s Duplicity,” can be found on their respective streaming platforms.
