10. Fackham Hall
If you've ever wondered what Downton Abbey might look like with poop and dick jokes, welcome to Fackham Hall.
Directed by Jim O'Hanlon, this period piece parody features a charming young lady (Thomasin McKenzie) who's on the verge of marrying her not-so-charming cousin (Tom Felton). But then, she fatefully crosses paths with a poor but dashing thief (Ben Radcliffe). In this upstairs/downstairs world, can their love last? Plus, there's murder, merriment, and scads of double entendres, prat falls, and unapologetically stupid humor. — Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor
Starring: Thomasin McKenzie, Ben Radcliffe, Katherine Waterston, Emma Laird, Tom Goodman-Hill, Anna Maxwell Martin, Sue Johnston, Tom Felton, and Damian Lewis
How to watch: Fackham Hall debuts on HBO Max on March 6.
9. Dirty Rotten Scandals
If you love mess, you'll relish every episode of E!'s Dirty Rotten Scandals. This new documentary series kicks off by digging up the dirt on three TV shows that are truly iconic and deeply problematic: Dr. Phil, America’s Next Top Model, and The Price is Right.
On the surface, each show promised a space to grow, to win, and to achieve a big dream (or just a brand! New! Car!). But beneath the sheen of Hollywood glamor, there was exploitation, manipulation, and in the case of The Price is Right host Bob Barker, rampant sexism and racism. However, we suspect the most must-see eps will be the two-parter on America's Next Top Model. Coming in on the heels of Netflix's Reality Check, Dirty Rotten Scandals got former ANTM judge Janice Dickinson to share her thoughts on Tyra Banks. And that's some piping hot tea we will be seated to see spilled. — K.P.
How to watch: Dirty Rotten Scandals is now on E!
8. Friends Like These: The Murder of Skylar Neese
Some true crime docs are just too long. Friends Like These: The Murder of Skylar Neese is one such doc, leaning on parental fears to stretch its story across three meandering episodes.
Directed by Clair Titley, Friends Like These focuses on the heinous homicide of 16-year-old Skylar Neese, who was last seen sneaking out of her parents' West Virginia home in the summer of 2012. The story of her murder is tragic and grim, but Titley's clichéd portrayal of Neese as an "average American girl" and her finger-wagging portrait of teens on social media flattens this victim into a cautionary tale. Her grieving parents become a spectacle and a warning, and the final answer to who killed Neese and why are deeply unsatisfying. That part is not Titley's fault. That's just the facts of the case. You can read those instead of walking away with the sickening feeling of watching a mediocre doc that treats murder as a grave life lesson. — K.P.
How to watch: Friends Like These: The Murder of Skylar Neese is streaming on Hulu.
7. Vladimir
Rachel Weisz gets caught up in scandal in Netflix's limited series Vladimir. Based on the 2022 novel of the same name by Julia May Jonas (who also serves as showrunner), the show stars Weisz as an unnamed college professor whose life is in absolute shambles. Her husband is under fire for sleeping with his students, and on top of that, she's recently become obsessed with her young hotshot colleague, Vladimir (Leo Woodall). As her life spirals, will she give into her desires?
Armed with sexual fantasies and enough fourth-wall breaks to make Fleabag blush, Vladimir seeks to titillate and confound. Unfortunately, as I wrote in my review, "[A]s an erotic thriller and a portrait of the ripple effects of sexual misconduct allegations, Vladimir is just like its protagonist's worst nightmare: It fails to captivate." — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter
Starring: Rachel Weisz, Leo Woodall, John Slattery, Ellen Robertson, and Jessica Henwick
How to watch: Vladimir is now streaming on Netflix.
6. War Machine
For War Machine, Alan Ritchson, the wall of muscle from Reacher and Fast X, teams with Patrick Hughes, the director of The Expendables 3, The Hitman's Bodyguard, and The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard. So, expect an action-packed movie with plenty of stunt-driven spectacle.
Specifically, military drama and sci-fi action collide when — during the final stage of U.S. Army Ranger training — a team of soldiers come across a mysterious war machine. From the trailer, you can see this is some dangerous tech. Where did it come from? What does it want (beyond picking a fight)? The only answers come from watching, when War Machine hits Netflix. — K.P.
Starring: Alan Ritchson, Dennis Quaid, Stephan James, Jai Courtney, Esai Morales, Keiynan Lonsdale, and Daniel Webber
How to watch: War Machine debuts on Netflix on March 6.
5. Outlander, Season 8
Outlander fans, I've got good news and bad news. The good news? You've made it through your last Droughtlander, that dreaded period between Outlander seasons. The bad news? This means the end of Outlander is almost upon you. The fantasy series, based on Diana Gabaldon's beloved novels, begins its final journey this week, once again flitting back and forth through time to conclude Jamie and Claire Fraser's (Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe) epic love story. How will this century-spanning, globe-trotting adventure end? — B.E.
Starring: Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan
How to watch: The final season of Outlander debuts on STARZ on March 6.
4. Young Sherlock
What's that? Sherlock Holmes and his archenemy James Moriarty running around Oxford as youngsters, solving crimes together? It's the elementary basis of Guy Ritchie's new Prime Video series, Young Sherlock, in which the director takes another stab at Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective. In this adventure-fueled origin story, Hero Fiennes Tiffin finds his own style as Sherlock, while Wheel of Time's Dónal Finn fittingly steals scenes as fictional rival Moriarty, and 3 Body Problem's Zine Tseng frankly kicks everyone's ass. And while the overt "pip pip cheerio" energy of Young Sherlock takes a minute and Joseph Fiennes (yes, Tiffin's uncle plays Sherlock's father Silas Holmes) over-uses the term "my boy," the series' core mystery takes satisfying twists. If you liked Enola Holmes, you might enjoy Young Sherlock. — Shannon Connellan, UK Editor
Starring: Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Dónal Finn, Zine Tseng, Colin Firth, Max Irons, Joseph Fiennes, Natascha McElhone, and Numan Acar
How to watch: Young Sherlock is now streaming on Prime Video.
3. The Moment
Charli XCX offers a mockumentary that explores her Brat Summer moment through a thin, crackling sheen of neon-green comedy. The plot follows Charli from promo demands to tour prep to ultra-exclusive spas and shattering personal meltdowns. While she and her trusted creative director, Celeste (Hailey Benton Gates), have a pulsing nightclub vision for the Brat tour, a ever-smiling documentarian named Johannes (Alexander Skarsgård) pressures for a more mainstream vision that'll appeal to "dads."
In my review out of Sundance, I cheered, "Rather than broadly skewering the rich and famous, The Moment shrewdly targets the corporate side of making art for a living. Through celebrity cameos, a succinct yet riveting story, earnest emotion, and biting humor, Charli XCX's mockumentary captures something real about the battle of art versus commerce. How does one hold onto themselves when hit by an avalanche of more, more, more, for better or worse? The Moment shows one answer, urging audiences to find their own." — K.P.
Starring: Charli XCX, Rosanna Arquette, Kate Berlant, Jamie Demetriou, Hailey Benton Gates, Isaac Powell, and Alexander Skarsgård
How to watch: The Moment is now available for rental or purchase on Prime Video and Apple TV.
2. Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience
Stray Kids fans, cancel your damn plans, as The dominATE Experience lands on digital this week. Shot during the 2025 world tour at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium, this eagerly awaited concert film promises to get up close with the K-pop icons in all their choreographic wonder — and from this sneak peek at "Maniac" live, you're in for a five-star Michelin treat whether you were there in person or not.
As Mashable's Crystal Bell writes, "These weren't shows that eased you in. They hit hard from the jump, stacking explosive choreography, blistering rap verses, and emotional pivots into a set designed to never let the energy dip. Bang Chan anchoring the chaos, Changbin and Han trading rapid-fire intensity, Hyunjin and Felix commanding the stage with physicality and presence, Lee Know's razor-sharp movement, Seungmin delivering steady vocals while casually instigating chaos, and I.N grounding it all with sincerity — every member played a specific role in keeping that engine running." — S.C.
Starring: Lee Know, Han, I.N, Felix, Bang Chan, Hyunjin, Seungmin, and Changbin
How to watch: Stray Kids: The dominATE Experience is available to rent or purchase on Prime Video and Apple TV.
1. Rooster
Steve Carell goes to college in HBO's charming new comedy Rooster, from creators Bill Lawrence (Ted Lasso, Shrinking) and Matt Tarses (Scrubs). He plays best-selling author Greg Russo, who accepts an offer to be the writer-in-residence at Ludlow College. He doesn't take the post for prestige, though. Instead, he takes it to be closer to his daughter, Katie (Charly Clive), an art history professor who's going through a rough patch after her husband (Phil Dunster) left her for a grad student (Lauren Tsai).
What follows is a sweet father-daughter comedy that examines the complexities of relationships with your parents as an adult. (Especially when your parent bursts into your small college bubble while your life is in shambles.) Packed with strong performances, Rooster is as warm as you'd expect from a Lawrence show, but it also finds a tad more rowdiness and bite in its satire of college life. — B.E.
Starring: Steve Carell, Phil Dunster, Charly Clive, Danielle Deadwyler, John C. McGinley, and Lauren Tsai
How to watch: Rooster premieres on HBO and HBO Max on March 8.
Best of Streaming this week: Hamnet
Academy Award–winning director Chloé Zhao finds herself back in the awards race thanks to Hamnet, an exquisite historical drama that offers up a different look at the life of William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal). Based on the novel by Maggie O'Farrell, who co-wrote the screenplay with Zhao, Hamnet's focus isn't really on the Bard. Instead, it's on his wife Agnes (a stellar Jessie Buckley), whose connection to nature and strange visions defy convention. But when Agnes and her husband lose their youngest son, Hamnet (Jacobi Jupe), the pair weather their grief in vastly different ways, resulting in the kind of film the word "heart-wrenching" was invented for.
Poised to wring every last ounce of water from your tear ducts, Hamnet charts its own bold course away from other Shakespeare-adjacent films. As Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko wrote in her review, "Not only does Zhao reject the temptations of glossy Hollywood biopics, but also the regal romance or cerebral theatricality of a barrage of Oscar-adored Shakespeare adaptations, from a handful of intense Hamlets to The Tragedy of Macbeth to the winsome Shakespeare in Love. Her Shakespeare and company are more feral, bringing this historic tragedy fresh blood and true grit."* — B.E.
Starring: Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, Emily Watson, Joe Alwyn, Jacobi Jupe, and Olivia Lynes
How to watch: Hamnet debuts on Peacock on March 6.
