THE WEEKLY STREAMING GUIDE
What’s worth watching this week, what’s new, and what’s probably not worth another $15.99 a month.
It’s November in New England. The clocks have gone back, it’s dark before dinner, and the couch is starting to look like a pretty good place to spend the weekend.
Fortunately, streaming has a few things worth your time.
This week brings a return to Middle-earth, a terrific Korean drama, some British espionage, a new Steven Soderbergh thriller on Hulu, and enough crime television to make you wonder whether anybody in these shows has a normal job.
THE TOP 10
1. Possible Love
Netflix | Drama | Streaming now
🏆 PICK OF THE WEEK
Not every great movie needs explosions, superheroes, or somebody trying to save the world.
Sometimes two married couples making a complete mess of their lives is plenty.
South Korean filmmaker Lee Chang-dong returns with his first feature since Burning. His new film explores marriage, money, class differences, and the things people convince themselves are true.
It’s currently sitting at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes from 60 reviews.
That’s a serious critical reception.
At two hours and 44 minutes, it’s not exactly something you throw on while folding laundry.
The verdict: The strongest movie recommendation this week. Put the phone down and actually watch this one. Rotten Tomatoes
2. Black Bag
Hulu | Spy Thriller | Streaming now
Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender play married intelligence agents whose relationship gets complicated when one becomes a suspect in a major security breach.
That’s a rough conversation to have over dinner.
Steven Soderbergh directs this sharp, stylish thriller that manages to be entertaining without dragging things out for three hours.
With a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score, it’s one of the strongest recent additions to Hulu.
The verdict: If you’re looking for a great movie tonight, this is probably the easiest recommendation on the list.
Hulu added it November 2. Disney+
3. Black Doves — SEASON 2
Netflix | Spy Thriller | Streaming now
Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw are back, and apparently nobody in London can be trusted.
The second season arrived November 5, bringing more espionage, violence, complicated relationships, and the kind of dry British humor that makes terrible situations considerably more entertaining.
The first season earned a 92% Rotten Tomatoes score. The new season is receiving positive early notices, although the review sample is still developing.
The verdict: One of Netflix’s most entertaining spy shows. Start with season one if you haven’t watched it.
And don’t expect anybody to behave responsibly. Rotten Tomatoes
4. The Gilded Age — SEASON 4
HBO Max | Historical Drama | New episode Sunday
Old money. New money. Rich people being absolutely horrible to each other while wearing magnificent clothing.
Welcome back.
Carrie Coon, Christine Baranski, and Cynthia Nixon return for another season of high-society warfare.
The fourth season premiered November 1, with new episodes arriving Sundays.
The verdict: If you enjoy watching wealthy people destroy each other’s lives over dinner invitations, this show’s practically made for you.
The performances and production design remain the biggest attractions. Rotten Tomatoes
5. Nocturne
Apple TV | Crime Thriller | New episode Friday
Liev Schreiber, Zazie Beetz, and Stephen Graham star in this dark crime series involving a notorious serial killer and a desperate investigation.
The show premiered October 30 and immediately climbed to No. 1 on Reelgood’s latest streaming chart.
Critics have been more enthusiastic than audiences: Rotten Tomatoes currently shows 83% from critics and 59% from viewers.
The A.V. Club gave the opening episodes a B, praising the potential while noting that the story takes its time getting started.
The verdict: Worth trying if you like serious crime thrillers. Just don’t mistake its chart position for universal acclaim. Rotten Tomatoes
6. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power — SEASON 3
Prime Video | Fantasy | Wednesday, November 11
Middle-earth is back.
The third season jumps ahead five years following the fall of Eregion. Sauron’s armies are gaining ground, the elves and dwarves face increasingly desperate circumstances, and the creation of the One Ring draws closer.
Four episodes arrive Wednesday, followed by additional episodes later in the month.
The series has always been visually spectacular, even when the storytelling gets a little tangled.
The verdict: The week’s biggest fantasy premiere. We’re excited to see where it goes, but we’re not calling the new season great before the reviews justify it.
Prime Video confirms the November 11 premiere. Amazon News
7. The Lowdown
Hulu | Crime / Mystery | Streaming now
Ethan Hawke plays Lee Raybon, a Tulsa journalist who has absolutely no interest in minding his own business.
He’s constantly chasing stories, irritating powerful people, and getting himself into trouble.
The show’s combination of mystery, humor, and terrific character writing makes it stand out from the usual television detective formula.
The verdict: Still one of our favorite under-the-radar crime dramas. If you missed the first season, you’ve got some catching up to do.
8. The Greatest
Prime Video | Sports Biography | Streaming now
Muhammad Ali gets the television treatment in this authorized scripted series starring Jaalen Best.
The show explores Ali’s life beyond the boxing ring, including his family, beliefs, relationships, and transformation into a cultural icon.
It’s an ambitious subject.
And given Ali’s extraordinary personality, the biggest challenge may be capturing the man rather than simply recreating his famous fights.
The verdict: One of the month’s most interesting sports releases. Worth a look for boxing fans and anyone interested in Ali’s remarkable life.
The series premiered November 4. Amazon News
9. Heart Eyes
Hulu | Horror / Comedy | Sunday, November 8
Halloween’s over, but apparently the killers didn’t get the memo.
This horror-comedy follows two people who become targets of a masked murderer who attacks couples on Valentine’s Day.
It’s ridiculous.
That’s kind of the point.
The movie combines slasher violence with romantic-comedy conventions, creating something considerably more entertaining than the premise might suggest.
The verdict: A fun option if you’re not quite ready to abandon horror season.
Hulu confirms its November 8 arrival. Disney+
10. Heartland
Netflix | Drama / Thriller | Friday, November 13
Jessica Chastain stars as a former country music superstar who emerges from seclusion to investigate her missing niece.
The investigation takes her into Nashville’s darker corners, where personal secrets and professional ambitions become increasingly tangled.
Garrett Hedlund, John Hawkes, and Jennifer Nettles also appear.
The verdict: One of Friday’s more promising new movies. Strong cast and an intriguing premise, but this is an anticipated pick rather than an established critical favorite.
Netflix confirms the November 13 release.
