Our Top-Rated Video-Streaming Services
The Zone of Interest (Max)
Director Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest examines what it’s like to live as if a genocide is not occurring right next door to you, something that is uncomfortably close to current events. It’s the fictionalized account of the family of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss and his family living an idyllic life in the shadow of the concentration camp. Sex and the City (Netflix)
And just like that, HBO has let Netflix have Sex and the City. All six seasons of the show are now available to stream and we await the think pieces Gen Z will write about it. Música (Prime Video)
Randy Mancuso wrote, directed, and stars in this movie about a musician with synesthesia who finds life a little overwhelming. Not because he experiences things more intensely than most, but because he has to balance both his ambitions and a love triangle. Ripley (Netflix)
The Talented Mr. Ripley gets another retelling, this time as a limited series with Andrew Scott as the man himself. In this adaptation, shot in moody black and white, the plot remains the same (Tom Ripley is sent to extricate Dickie Greenleaf from expat life in Italy) but the tone is much different than in the Anthony Minghella film. Loot – Season 2 (Apple TV+)
In this spoof of MacKenzie Scott’s life, Maya Rudolph plays the third richest woman in the world (after her divorce from a Bezos-esque tech exec), who devotes her time to running a charity. At its core, Loot is a workplace comedy with a standout cast. Dinosaur (Hulu)
Two sisters who are BFFs find something that finally comes between them: One is having a sudden wedding. The other, an autistic paleontologist, finds that she has to evolve in unexpected ways. The show is the work of the producers behind Fleabag.

Sugar (Apple TV+)
Sugar starts as a neo-noir series and ends somewhere completely different. It stars Colin Farrell as a detective trying to solve a Hollywood-based mystery involving a producer’s missing granddaughter. He finds himself mired in the messy secrets of the family while trying to cover up one of his own. Wish (Disney+)
Asha lives in the Kingdom of Rosas. Its ruler, who has the power to grant wishes, thinks he knows better than his subjects, so he only grants them selectively. When Asha is befriended by the actual wishing star from the night sky, it puts her in the king’s crosshairs as he turns to dark magic to protect his power. How to Date Billy Walsh (Prime Video)
This British teen rom-com has a familiar setup: Archie cannot find the courage to tell his lifelong friend Amelia that he’s in love with her. Then Billy Walsh—a brash American transfer student—shows up. Amelia promptly falls for him just as Arche gets brave.
