7 New Movies and TV Shows to Stream This Weekend (March 14)
With a packed lineup across Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Disney+, and Max, streaming enthusiasts have plenty of exciting options this weekend. From high-budget sci-fi films to highly-anticipated sequels and acclaimed TV series, here’s your weekend watchlist.
Moana 2 (Disney+)
Disney returns with the sequel to its massively popular Moana, the most-streamed movie in the past five years. While Moana 2 didn’t quite match the critical acclaim of its predecessor, holding a 61% Rotten Tomatoes score, audiences have warmly embraced it. The sequel offers plenty of vibrant animation, fun storytelling, and catchy music, making it a perfect family pick.
The Wheel of Time Season 3 (Prime Video)
Prime Video’s fantasy epic is back on track after a shaky second season. The third installment successfully recaptures the magic of Robert Jordan’s beloved novels, garnering praise for its storytelling and improved pacing. Fans and critics alike agree it’s a notable return to form, keeping The Wheel of Time securely among the best fantasy offerings on Prime Video.
The Electric State (Netflix)
Netflix’s big-budget sci-fi movie, The Electric State, stars Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt but unfortunately fails to deliver. Despite an enormous $320 million production budget, the adaptation of Simon Stålenhag’s acclaimed graphic novel has faced harsh criticism for its lackluster storytelling. Viewers might instead prefer exploring Stålenhag’s original graphic novel or streaming Tales from the Loop on Prime Video.
Adolescence (Netflix)
This innovative new Netflix crime thriller captivates viewers with its unique filming style, appearing as if each episode is a continuous shot. Adolescence follows the gripping tale of a 13-year-old boy accused of murder, diving into the complex emotions of family members, therapists, and detectives involved. With a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score and strong performances from stars Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty, this series thoughtfully tackles critical social issues.
Dope Thief (Apple TV+)
Apple TV+ debuts Dope Thief, a compelling crime drama starring Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura as friends who impersonate DEA agents only to accidentally uncover a massive narcotics ring. Comparisons to the iconic series The Wire are already surfacing, thanks to Dope Thief’s gritty tone and morally complex narrative. Created by acclaimed screenwriter Peter Craig, this promising new show is likely to become a standout among crime series on Apple TV+.
The Parenting (Max)
Max’s latest offering blends horror with comedy in The Parenting. The film explores the chaos that ensues when a family inadvertently disturbs a 400-year-old poltergeist. Critics remain divided, reflected in a mixed 50% Rotten Tomatoes rating. For viewers seeking lighter horror entertainment, this might be worth a watch, despite not quite reaching the heights of other acclaimed horror content on Max.
Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney (Netflix)
Award-winning comedian John Mulaney is back with Netflix’s live celebrity talk show Everybody’s Live. Airing weekly, the program boasts celebrity interviews and musical performances, drawing comparisons to late-night talk show staples like Jimmy Fallon. With an initial Rotten Tomatoes score of 100% and guest stars like Michael Keaton and Joan Baez, it promises to become a popular addition to Netflix’s lineup.
