Who else is excited for a long three-day weekend thanks to Labor Day here in the U.S.? While some of the team is over in Seattle for PAX West and Atlanta for DragonCon, Chris and I are in our respective homes, and - what else - watching new shows on streaming. This weekend is a bumper crop from Netflix and Amazon's Prime Video, so let's get to it.
For the weekend beginning Friday, August 29, here is What to Watch This Weekend:
What to Watch This Weekend: Wednesday season 2 part 2
Spare me the sophomore slump expectations, as Wednesday season 2 has been every bit the gripping and quirky drama as its first season. Season 2, part 1, left us on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I'm heavily anticipating getting back to it and seeing how they get Wednesday Addams and her family out of these new situations they're in.
What to Watch This Weekend: Thursday Murder Club
If you like Only Murders in the Building, you'll love this murder mystery. Starring Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, and Ben Kingsley, with writer/director Chris Columbus of Home Alone and Harry Potter fame, Thursday Murder Club is about a group of retirees banding together to solve a heinous crime in their retirement community.
What to Watch This Weekend: Terminal List: Dark Wolf season 1
Picking up shades of my love for CBS's The Unit and Richard Marchinko's Seal Team books, Terminal List: Dark Wolf on Prime Video puts Taylor Kitsch in the gritty shoot-em-up that he seems to have been destined for for the past 20 years. For my money, disregard talk of this being a prequel to something else or the Chris Pratt involvement and instead enjoy it on its own merits as a great-looking military series.
Looking ahead, here's what to watch in September 2025 on streaming platforms.
