If nothing below suits your sensibilities, check out our guide to What You Should Watch On Streaming Right Now.
What We Do In The Shadows (FX on Hulu) — Now that the Emmys have spoken, it’s time to fill out our own ballots. The good news is plenty of the shows nominated are available on various streaming platforms, and, because of the pandemic, we have lots of time to view them all. But start with this mockumentary from Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement about a group of centuries-old vampires living together in a run-down house in Staten Island. There are witches, ghosts, possessed dolls, and Haley Joel Osment as a zombie. Enough said.
Succession (HBO) — Season two of this prestige drama shook things up within the Roy family which gave its main cast, including Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin, and Brian Cox more to do. Takeovers looming, drug relapses, bad investments, and hostage situations drove most of the action in season two as the family’s global empire began to crumble.
