The content pile is vast and infinite, and you’ve got the a three-day weekend to decide how you want to slice it. We’re in the midst of the ever-intensifying streaming wars, and there are too many shows and movies to choose from, spread across too many video-streaming services. So we’re making it easier for you. Each week, the PCMag features team takes turns highlighting the streaming content they’re excited to watch or think you should binge. Fire up your media-streaming device of choice, and get watching.
Mulan (Disney+)
Disney’s live-action Mulan has finally arrived and will stream on Disney+, but there’s an added complication. In order to watch, you must be a Disney+ subscriber and pay an extra $29.99 for Premier Access. The movie can then be watched as long as you have an active subscription. (If you don’t want to pay $30, Mulan will be available to all Disney+ subscribers without that extra fee on Dec. 4.)
I’m Thinking of Ending Things (Netflix)
Charlie Kaufman writes, directs, and produces this adaptation of the best-selling book about a woman who goes with her boyfriend to visit his parents. I’m Thinking of Ending Things is a psychological horror movie in which the characters see reality devolve around them, leading to an ending you won’t see coming.
Raised by Wolves (HBO Max)
When Earth is destroyed in a great war, two androids are tasked with raising human children on another planet. As the colony begins to divide, the android overseeing this new society will attempt to control humanity. Raised By Wolves is an HBO Max original series from executive director Ridley Scott.
The Boys Season 2 (Prime Video)
The Boys return for Season 2 to continue their war against the violent and corrupt superheroes who control the world. The first three episodes will be available to stream immediately, with subsequent episodes released on a weekly basis. Here’s what we hope the season brings.
Away ( Netflix)
Netflix’s Away casts Hilary Swank as a mother, wife, and astronaut who must leave her family to command a three-year mission to Mars.
