If you need something to watch this weekend, the likes of Netflix, Disney Plus, and Prime Video more than have you covered.
But where to begin? We’ve cast a beady eye over the dozens of new arrivals and curated a collection of our streaming highlights for the week. From period dramas to bingeable boxsets, superheroes to, uhh, Jeff Goldblum – practically every base is covered.
Netflix marks the beginning of the end with the first part of Ozark’s final season this week, while it also takes a trip back in time with one of history’s most dramatic meetings in Munich – The Edge of War.
Marvel is also celebrating its past on Disney Plus this week. If you’re an MCU newcomer, you might not be familiar with Marvel Studios’ One-Shots. These bite-sized adventures carry just as much charm and color as their big-screen counterparts and are well worth checking out.

The first seven episodes in the final season of the hit Netflix series are an explosive road to the end. In Ozark season 4 part 1, Marty and Wendy Byrde (Jason Bateman and Laura Linney) are tasked by cartel boss Omar Navarro (Felix Solis) with pulling off a near-impossible deal with the FBI. Meanwhile, Navarro’s nephew, Javi Elizondro (Alfonso Herrera) brings more trouble for the Byrdes, and the family’s former ally Ruth Langmore (Julia Garner) is no longer on their side. Expect fireworks.

Want to cry happy tears this weekend? As We See It is a new drama series that revolves around three autistic roommates – Jack, Harrison, and Violet – as they navigate the perils of everyday life while simultaneously living on the spectrum.
Each episode is equal parts touching, funny, and life-affirming, following their journeys from the road bumps of simple tasks to dealing with relationships, grief, and trauma. Autistic representation is few and far between on mainstream television – and Prime Video’s latest drama is a welcome step in the right direction.
