Cheeky British spies. Lost boys turning on one another in a hellish examination of human nature, and whether or not life in a state of nature truly is nasty, brutish and short. These, plus investigative sheep, diabolical serial killers, and drag stars all grace our screens this weekend, whether you’re watching at home on your TV, on your mobile device or heading to theaters.There’s something for everyone, basically, in one of the busiest weeks of new entertainment content in a good, long while. I’ve been watching mostly British mystery thrillers lately. I blew through the first season of DCI Banks, which was nothing particularly special but very solid, and then started Endeavor, about a young Inspector Morse, which is excellent. I’m also working my way through the first season of The Devil’s Hour, which is super creepy and really fascinating with a bunch of paranormal mystery and horror elements. If you’re looking for UK detective shows, any of these should do nicely.Oh, and I finally started Star Wars Maul: Shadow Lord, which is actually quite good. I’m not as big into animated Star Wars overall, but the animation, writing and voice-acting here is all superb.As always, I’ve scoured the internet for the best TV shows and movies streaming on Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, Disney+ and more this weekend.
