The newsletter surveys current and recent offerings across major streamers, including Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Prime Video, Paramount+, Peacock, and HBO Max. It also features a nostalgia segment and viewing suggestions from special guests Greg Davies and Alex Horne of Taskmaster.
Among the highlighted titles, Cupertino is a Paramount+ legal procedural from Robert and Michelle King, with Mike Colter leading a cast that includes Rachel Keller and Renée Elise Goldsberry.
