There is, arguably, too much good streaming content out there for any of us to ever feasibly catch up on. (I still haven’t seen Breaking Bad! Is that deeply humiliating to admit to?) And with the rise of what the Hollywood powers that be are unfortunately calling second-screen content—or, in other words, movies and TV shows you can halfway absorb while scrolling Instagram on your phone—it can be harder than ever to figure out what’s worth a stream and what you might as well have skipped.
Luckily, Vogue has your back on this one; starting this Friday, we’re rounding up the can’t-miss streaming episodes and events so that you’ll never find yourself at the water cooler (or, perhaps more aptly for our remote-working era, in the Zoom room) with nothing to say. Below, find everything you should stream this weekend, from LGBTQ+ romance to late-night comedy:
Heartstopper
The third season of this deeply charming show that delves deep into queer friendship, romance, and inevitable drama among British teens hit Netflix this past Thursday, which makes this the perfect weekend to settle in on the couch under your favorite TV-watching blanket and get lost in Kit Connor’s eyes.
How to watch: Stream on Netflix.
Saturday Night Live featuring Nate Bargatze and musical guest Coldplay
Saturday Night Live’s season 50 premiere featuring Jean Smart and musical guest Jelly Roll was a hard act to follow, but the late-night variety show’s sophomore effort of the season—which is slated to feature Nashville-based comedian Nate Bargatze as host alongside the musical stylings of Coldplay—could shape up to be even better, at least if Bowen Yang is used as liberally as he was last Saturday. (Playing Moo Deng, Charli XCX, and J.D. Vance all in one episode? He’s got range!)
How to watch: Catch the show live on NBC at 11 p.m. ET on Saturday, October 5, or stream it on Hulu or Peacock on Sunday morning.
Love Is Blind Season 7
The first installment of this über-popular reality show’s seventh season just dropped on Netflix on Wednesday, but let’s be real; if you hold full-time employment, how are you supposed to catch up on all the gossip during the week? That’s why God invented Sunday. (Okay, maybe God invented Sunday for church, but Love Is Blind happens to function as a kind of divine spiritual power for me.)
How to watch: Stream on Netflix.
The Franchise
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a superhero-movie buff or an all-around Marvel hater; you’ll likely still find something to love (or at least spit out your seltzer laughing about) on this new Max series that’s executive produced by Veep creator Armando Iannucci. It stars, among others, British actor and comedian Lolly Adefope as a slightly clueless but extremely winning on-set Hollywood assistant.
How to watch: Stream on Max on Sunday, October 6 at 10 p.m. ET.
Yellowjackets Season 1
If you haven’t yet seen this terrifying and pitch-perfect ’90s time capsule of a show, (1) I envy you deeply and (2) I have good news: The entire first season of Yellowjackets dropped on Netflix on Monday after originally airing on Showtime, so get ready to be extremely scared and also curious about Melanie Lynskey’s skin-care routine.
