The first weekend of 2026 is also the last time that Netflix will have a fresh episode of Stranger Things to dominate the streaming rankings. Luckily, Netflix isn’t just coasting on the Stranger Things finale heading into the weekend. A pair of AMC+ shows is also making its mark. The Watch With Us team included […]

To kick off 2026, Peacock has added a film that was originally released as a Prime Video exclusive in 2021. That’s a power move typically reserved for Netflix, but it’s not the only option offered by Peacock on the first weekend of 2026. To narrow things down, Watch With Us has selected the three best […]

There’s a new top thriller on Netflix, and it’s a film that only a relative few had seen before this week. The Girl Who Got Away was released on VOD in 2021 to a muted response, and it had never gained traction until now. Lexi Johnson stars in this thriller as Christina Bowden, the only […]

Now that 2025 is over, it means that the awards season is now active. Before long, we’ll learn which performers will compete for Best Actor or Best Actress at the Oscars and other ceremonies.

Some years don’t have many great movies, but there never seems to be any shortage of bad flicks. A handful of this year’s terrible films may ultimately live on for a few decades simply because they were bombs of epic proportions. For this year, the Watch With Us team has whittled down our picks to […]

All the talk in Hollywood right now is who’s going to buy HBO Max‘s parent company, Warner Bros.: Netflix or Paramount? One of the reasons HBO itself is so highly prized is because the premium cable network has a brand for quality television that’s still unmatched. Looking at its winter 2026 programming schedule, it doesn’t […]

If you’re staying home on New Year’s Eve, one of the best ways to send 2025 off into the sunset is with your Netflix subscription. Netflix has such a wide variety of films to choose from that almost anyone can find something fun to watch on any day of the year. To narrow things down, […]

Amazon’s Prime Video may not be the No. 1 streaming service, but it has something no other streamer can offer on New Year’s Eve. Several of this year’s top hits from Warner Bros. Pictures, Paramount and Universal Pictures are all included with your Prime Video subscription. As 2026 approaches, Watch With Us has narrowed our […]

One of the upsides of Prime Video‘s decision to spread out the release of Fallout season 2 is that there’s a sense of anticipation. Cliffhanger endings don’t really work if you can simply binge the next episode immediately. That’s ultimately a more satisfying way to enjoy the show than by dumping the entire season on […]

Director Spike Lee has had a number of critically acclaimed movies over the last four decades, but his biggest hit to date is the 2006 crime thriller Inside Man. Lee re-teamed with frequent collaborator Denzel Washington for an intense and engaging story that gave the heist genre some fresh ideas. This film kept audiences on […]

Are you ready to say goodbye to Stranger Things? The hit series premiered on Netflix in 2016, and the 10th anniversary is just half a year away. We’ve gone through five seasons with these Hawkins kids, and now there’s only one episode left. To help you prepare you for the epic conclusion, Watch With Us […]

Netflix had many of its most popular shows return in 2025, including Stranger Things, Squid Game, Cobra Kai and Wednesday. However, none of those franchise hits managed to match the quality of Netflix’s elite series across all genres. Now that the year is winding down, Watch With Us is sharing our picks for the five […]

HBO Max subscribers have enjoyed a strong lineup of movies in December, but the impending end of the month means that several fan-favorite films are on their way out. However, there’s still more than enough time to catch some of those favorites if you start making your plans now. To save you some time, the […]

The final days of 2025 have seen the Christmas movie lineup on Netflix give way to a more eclectic group of films. We suspect that even Netflix may be surprised by its current hit movies, especially since a few of them barely saw the inside of a theater. To close out the year, Watch With […]

There are some months when you may have a hard time finding a movie with a high Rotten Tomatoes score on Netflix. December, however, has more than a few critically acclaimed films to choose from, including one that was in theaters as recently as last month. To help you find these elite flicks, Watch With […]

Among the major streamers, Amazon Prime Video tends to play its cards close to the chest. That means Prime Video rarely shares a complete look at the month ahead more than a few days before the first. That makes it difficult to gauge what Prime Video has coming up this winter. The good news is […]

If you love thrillers, there are some great films to choose from before they depart their current streaming homes at the beginning of January. Given the pedigree of these movies, they’ll likely pop up again on a different streamer at some point. But why wait? Watch With Us has already assembled the three underrated thrillers […]

In 2023, HBO’s The Last of Us set a new standard for live-action video game TV adaptations. But it’s not the only video game show that deserves wider recognition. Prime Video‘s Fallout followed a year later in 2024, and it’s proven to be a great take on the source material. This is a video game […]

The Life of Chuck came and went in theaters last summer with barely an audience to speak of, because it was only in limited release in the U.S. But the people who have seen this Stephen King adaptation are more than likely to rave about it. This isn’t a horror flick or a straight-forward coming-of-age […]

The biggest difference between the ’80s and the films that come out now is that there were more than just blockbusters playing in theaters back then. During the ’80s, even unheralded adult dramas or unexpected genre flicks could go on to become cult classics on cable even if they didn’t connect in theaters. Now, it’s […]

In 2011, author Andy Weir took a bet on himself and self-published his debut novel, The Martian, online. The book subsequently became a bestseller, which was in turn adapted as a film by director Ridley Scott in 2015. However, The Martian is about to depart its current streaming home now that the tenth anniversary has […]
