What To Watch This Weekend: Stream Our Top 7 TV and Movie Picks

“Invincible” | Prime Video | Adult animation, science fiction

Season 4 premiere, Wednesday, March 18: Season 4 of Prime Video’s adult animated superhero series is here, with Mark Grayson/Invincible (Steven Yeun) emerging from the events of Season 3 a changed man. “While the world recovers from catastrophe,” Prime says in advance press materials, “a changed Mark fights to protect his home and the people he loves, setting him on a collision course with a threat that could alter the fate of humanity forever.” Doesn’t that sound like every other superhero plot? Maybe. But if you’re here for it, you’ll be happy with this series.

“Imperfect Women” | Apple TV | Drama

Limited series premiere, Wednesday, March 18: The Apple TV miniseries adapts Araminta Hall’s novel of the same name. Kate Mara, Elisabeth Moss, and Kerry Washington play three longtime friends whose lives are shattered by a crime—and the investigation threatens to unearth secrets and destroy connections that may not have been so strong after all. After tonight’s two-episode premiere, the remaining six eps will come weekly on Wednesdays.

“Deadloch” | Prime Video | Comedy, drama

Season 2 premiere, Friday, March 20: The black comedy crime mystery series set in a fictional town on the island state of Tasmania (off the coast of Australia) moves to the mainland—Darwin, capital of the Northern Territory, to be precise—in its second season. Odd couple cops Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) are in the latter’s hometown to investigate the death of Eddie’s former partner. But when human remains are discovered, they’re diverted onto the case of identifying the John Doe. If the past is prologue, Season 2 will drop three episodes today and the other six weekly.

“Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat” | Prime Video | Comedy

Season 2 premiere, Friday, March 20: The hit 2023 show where an entire cast punks a single chump—who has no idea he’s the mark in an extravagant prank—is back! Producers take the show outside the courtroom, this time, setting up a fake family-owned hot sauce company instead. That’s where sweet summer child Anthony takes a temp gig and winds up in the middle of a battle over who will succeed the family patriarch as the company’s chief executive. They’re releasing this one in batches: Three episodes stream tonight, and the rest will come on March 27 and April 3.

“Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man” | Netflix | Drama

Movie, Friday, March 20: A decade after the events of the hit Netflix historical crime drama “Peaky Blinders,” we catch up with Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy). World War II is on, and Shelby is holed up in the country trying to write a novel, but his estranged son falls in with Nazis, and Tommy must return to Birmingham. If you’re into the big-screen experience, you can probably still see “The Immortal Man” in theaters. Or just wait until tonight and you can watch it at home from the comfort of your own couch.

“The Comeback” | HBO, HBO Max | Comedy

Season 3 premiere, Sunday, March 22, 10:30 p.m. ET: Did you know it’s been more than two decades since HBO’s Lisa Kudrow vehicle “The Comeback” debuted? And it’s only in its third season with a dozen years separating it from Season 2? Well, it’s the last one as far as we can tell (you never know, with a release history like this) and it follows Kudrow’s character Valerie Cherish as she starts a new show that’s entirely scripted by AI. Awww, they’re quitting when things suddenly get easier (albeit bad, so maybe it makes sense). Episodes come one-at-a-time, weekly, live on HBO and streaming on HBO Max.

“Saturday Night Live UK” | Peacock | Sketch comedy

Series premiere, Sunday, March 22: It took 50 years for “SNL” creator Lorne Michaels to export his sketch comedy institution to the United Kingdom.

It’s kind of a bummer when you think of all the fantastic English, Irish, and Scottish comedic actors that could’ve been a part of early casts, had SNL UK happened sooner. Imagine cast alumni like David Mitchell, Robert Webb, Rik Mayall (RIP), Adrian Edmondson, Sean Lock, Steve Coogan, Noel Fielding, Julian Barratt, Tamsin Grieg, Bill Bailey, Katherine Parkinson, Richard Ayoade, Chris O’Dowd, Sarah Millican, Miranda Hart, Dylan Moran, Simon Pegg, Lucy Davis, Jon Richardson—

What’s the sense of that long list? Simply to point out that SNL UK could already be an institution, and how cool it could’ve been. The show would have its own Bill Murray, Steve Martin, Mike Myers, Gilda Radner, et al.

Don’t get me wrong: I don’t mean to slight the young unknowns (to us Yanks, anyway) inaugural cast. It’s still gonna be cool to see what talents—not to mention quotable sketches that wiggle their way into the zeitgeist—emerge from “SNL UK.” Break a leg, gang.

New episodes stream on Peacock on Sundays.
