What To Watch This Week: Stream Our Top 7 TV and Movie Picks (Nov. 3–9)

All’s Fair | Hulu | Drama

Series premiere, Tuesday, Nov. 4: Another legal drama? Why not? This one comes from TV hit-machine Ryan Murphy, so it oughta hit a bit differently. Especially ‘cause it’s about a group of female divorce attorneys who form an all-woman law firm. Ryan Murphy? Divorce? Love? Money? The Law? Sounds like a winner. And then you have the cast, which includes accomplished thespian Kim Kardashian, Niecy Nash-Betts, Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Teyana Taylor, and more. You can watch three episodes today; the rest will come weekly through December 23.

All Her Fault | Peacock | Drama

Limited series premiere, Thursday, Nov. 6: Writer/creator Megan Gallagher adapts author Andrea Mara’s bestselling novel with this thriller. A woman (Sarah Snook) drops her son off at a playdate and returns to find her son gone and another family living in the house. The show’s all-star cast includes Dakota Fanning, Sophia Lillis, Michael Peña, and more. Also, look for guest/recurring appearances from Jennifer Jason Leigh, Ed O’Neill, Elizabeth Berkeley, Brooke Shields, Jessica Simpson, Rick Springfield, and others. All episodes stream starting today on Peacock.

Death by Lightning | Netflix | Drama

Limited series premiere, Thursday, Nov. 6: Our 20th president, James Garfield, served only four months of his term before being assassinated, and died two months later from infection. Overall, Garfield is generally regarded as a below-average president and sometimes isn’t even included in presidential rankings. So why does he get a series? Well, it’s complicated. To begin with, Garfield didn’t really want the job—that, alone, is interesting—and the series draws from Candice Millard’s 2011 book, Destiny of the Republic, which series creator Mike Makowsky calls, “one of the most insane true stories I had ever heard.” Michael Shannon stars as Garfield.

Frankenstein | Netflix | Horror, science fiction, drama

Movie, Friday, Nov. 7: If you didn’t get to see this film due to its limited theatrical run, you can watch it on Netflix as of today. Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro’s lifelong dream was to adapt his favorite Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. After a decade of work, del Toro has realized his dream. Oscar Isaac (Ex Machina) stars as the mad doctor Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi (Saltburn) portrays the monster. Horror it girl Mia Goth also stars.

Pluribus | Apple TV+ | Drama, science fiction

Series premiere, Friday, Nov. 7: If, after watching Vince Gilligan’s classic series Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, you crave VG TV like tweakers craved Walter White’s blue meth, OMG SAME. You can rewatch eminently rewatchable shows only so many times. That said, the new stuff is finally hittin’ the streets with this sci-fi drama starring Rhea Seehorn (who was so wonderful as Kim Wexler in Better Call Saul). Seehorn plays author Carol Sturka, the only person on Earth who hasn’t contracted a mysterious virus that’s turned everyone else in the world into shiny happy people. The first two episodes stream today, with new ones coming weekly through December 26.

Stumble | Peacock | Comedy

Series premiere, Friday, Nov. 7, 8:30 p.m. ET: Ready? Okay! In NBC’s “mockumentary cheer comedy,” Jen Lyon (FX’s English Teacher) plays a disgraced cheer coach saddled with a junior college cheerleading team composed of, among other characters, a star cheerleader, a former football player, a narcoleptic tumbler, and a criminal with an ankle monitor. Sounds like the Bad News Bears of cheer, doesn’t it? The series, created by Jeff Astrof (Trial & Error) and his sibling Liz Astrof (2 Broke Girls), also features Taran Killam and Kristen Chenoweth.
