I don’t know about you, but when Friday hits, the last thing I want to do is scroll for an hour trying to find something to watch. Usually, I give up and rewatch The Office for the 10th time. 

Not this weekend. I made you a watch list, meticulously crafted between dopamine crashes, for the entertainment-decision-deficient among us. You’re welcome.

Here are 12 solid picks worth your time, plus a bonus you’ll want to add to your watch list.

🍸 The White Lotus (Max)

Luxury resorts, twisted guests and awkward tension. Start in Hawaii, jet to Italy in Season 2, and buckle up for Season 3 in Thailand. All packed with secrets, scandals and one perfectly timed death.

🏊‍♀️ Nyad (Netflix)

At 64, Diana Nyad swam from Cuba to Florida. No cage. Just grit. If you need motivation this weekend, this is it. Meanwhile, someone younger out there just pulled their back sneezing. 

💣 Slow Horses (Apple TV+)

Washed-up British spies solving real crimes? Yes, please. Gary Oldman leads this messy, brilliant MI5 reject crew.

🔥 Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Prime Video)

Spy drama meets situationship. Way better than that Brangelina movie we all lied about liking. 

🌊 Black Cake (Hulu)

A global mystery wrapped in family secrets. Rich storytelling, gorgeous locations and definitely a hidden gem.

👻 The Fall of the House of Usher (Netflix)

Think Succession with a Poe twist. One by one, this powerful family starts falling. Creepy and addictive.

🧑‍⚖️ Anatomy of a Scandal (Netflix)

British courtroom drama with twists that’ll keep you guessing. If you liked The Crown, this is your next fix.

💼 The Morning Show (Apple TV+)

Behind the scenes of morning news with Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. Power plays and big egos, what’s not to love?

🌴 Palm Royale (Apple TV+)

Set in 1960s Palm Beach high society, this one is glitzy, juicy and totally over-the-top. Kristen Wiig shines.

👨‍👩‍👧 IF (Paramount+, Prime Video or rent)

Feel-good family movie about imagination and growing up, from John Krasinski. Sweet, funny and heartwarming.

🧠 The Social Dilemma (Netflix)

Social media: friend or foe? It’ll make you question every post, like, share and probably take you one scroll closer to deleting your apps. Watch it with your kids.

🐼 Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie (Apple TV+)

Funny, raw and so very inspiring. This documentary pulls back the curtain on his life with Parkinson’s.

🎁 Bonus Pick: The New Look (Apple TV+)

Paris. Dior. Chanel. Drama. This WWII-era fashion saga is as stylish as it is intense. You’ll be hooked by Episode 1.

So there you go. No doom-scrolling required. Just kick back, hit play and enjoy something worth your screen time. Let me know your favorites. I’m always up for a good rec, too. 😉
