What to Stream This Weekend
Catch up with The Mighty Ducks, solve mysteries in Victorian England, and get mad about the college-admissions scandal all over again.
The content pile is vast and infinite, and you’ve got the whole 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.
The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers (Disney+)
Fans of The Mighty Ducks can relive their youth, or introduce their kids to the franchise with The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, a 10-episode series in which the Ducks are now a highly competitive kids team in Minnesota. When 12-year-old Evan is cut from the team, he and his mom start a team of misfits all their own (with an assist from Emilio Estevez, naturally). The original Mighty Ducks trilogy from the 90s is also streaming on Disney+ (and Hulu until May 28).
The Irregulars (Netflix)
The Irregulars is set in the Sherlock Holmes universe, but in this tale, the famous detective takes a backseat to a group of Victorian-era street kids working to stop a supernatural force from destroying London.
Invincible (Amazon Prime Video)
From Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead, this animated series follows 17-year-old Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), an average high schooler whose dad happens to be a powerful superhero, Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons). Watch the first three episodes today; the rest will be released weekly through April 30.
Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal (Netflix)
Why did Aunt Becky go to jail? This documentary outlines the scam that saw wealthy Americans open their wallets and lie, lie, lie to get their kids into prestigious universities. It’s from the director of the Fyre doc and the executive producer of Tiger King, a duo who seems to have a thing for covering terrible people.
Melrose Place (Hulu)
For a little throwback, Hulu has the entire series of run of Melrose Place, the 90s 90210 spin-off that followed a group of 20-somethings in LA living a very incestuous existence in the same apartment complex. Come for the questionable fashion statements, stay for the hijinks of the pre-internet era.
