The content pile is vast, and you've got the whole weekend to decide how you want to slice it. We're in the midst of ever-intensifying streaming wars, and there are too many shows and movies to choose from, spread across too many video-streaming services. So we're making it easier for you. Each week, we highlight the streaming content we're excited to watch or think you should binge. Fire up your media-streaming device of choice, and start watching.
Any 80s kid will tell you that Michael J. Fox defined the era, from Family Ties and Back to the Future to Teen Wolf and The Secret of My Success. In Still, now streaming on Apple TV+, Fox looks back at his career and how it—and his outlook on life—changed following his Parkinson's disease diagnosis.
The latest prestige drama from HBO—sorry, Max—is SPY/MASTER, a six-part espionage series set during the Cold War. Alec Secăreanu is Victor Godeanu, an advisor to Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu. He's also a secret KBG agent who needs to get out of Romania before his cover is blown with help from an ex and fellow agent and the CIA.
This murder mystery follows the investigation into the shooting death of a girl in Central Park, which is soon connected to a series of fires throughout the city.
BTS fans have some new content in the form of BASTIONS, a Korean animated series that features songs from the popular boy band. The show itself follows "a group of beloved idols" with superpowers battling a corrupt corporation with a spotty environmental record. Watch it on Crunchyroll.
There's been a bit of a reckoning lately with how female celebrities have been treated by the press and the public in the last 30+ years. Some, like Brooke Shields and Pamela Anderson, have been able to tell their own stories in recent documentaries. Anna Nicole Smith, who died in 2007, didn't get that chance, but this documentary attempts to shed light on her life.
Anna Nicole Smith made waves around the same time that various socialites were attempting to become the next "It Girl." For anyone who tuned in religiously to The City or The Simple Life or combed Us Weekly to see where the pseudo-celebs were partying, this documentary offers an inside look at how those girls actually ended up on reality TV and in the pages of top tabloids in the pre-influencer years.
End the week with a little reality fluff. Turn off your brain and look at obscenely priced homes on season six of Selling Sunset. It's ostensibly about the LA real estate market, but the show mostly focuses on the (largely unprofessional) drama between the agents, replete with slo-mo shots of them arriving at listings in Bentleys and sky-high heels.
Speaking of reality fluff, if the Bravo fans in your life can't shut up about Scandoval, you can get caught up with the Vanderpump kids on Peacock, which is now streaming the season 10 finale, where details of an affair between two cast members are finally revealed. Starting May 24, meanwhile, the streaming service will also post extended and uncensored versions of the cast reunion.
