What To Watch This Weekend: Stream Our Top 7 TV and Movie Picks (September 15–21)

High Potential | ABC, Hulu | Drama, comedy

Season 2 premiere, Tuesday, Sept. 16 (ABC) at 10 p.m. ET and Wednesday, Sept. 17 (Hulu): This Americanized version of the French series Haut Potentiel Intellectuel starring Kaitlin Olson (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) returns for a second season. Last season, genius single mother/cleaning lady Morgan (Olson) wound up using her big brain to solve a big case—and wound up getting hired by the LAPD as a consultant. You know how these shows (talkin’ about Monk, Psych!, et al) go: Expect to see Morgan solve more crimes with her superior intellect while the rest of the department gawks in disbelief.

Futurama | Hulu | Animation, comedy

Season 13 premiere, Monday, Sept. 15: Hulu has another ten episodes of Matt Groening’s The Simpsons sci-fi spinoff, which is on its 13th season—so it’s no longer really a spinoff. In these eps, we’re told to expect an (even more?) unhinged Bender, Leela facing stiff romantic competition for Fry, and Dr. Zoidberg accessing Heaven’s pearly gates. All ten episodes are available to stream on Hulu today.

Gen V | Prime Video | Comedy, drama, science fiction

Season 2 premiere, Wednesday, Sept. 17: Speakin’ of spinoffs: How great is it that the Garth Ennis-authored comics series The Boys was not only finally adapted into an (now four seasons deep) Emmy-winning series, and also spawned two solid spinoffs—with a third one coming? In this one, young “supes” (superheroes) attend a university hoping to land a gig with The Seven (the supe-group from The Boys), but it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. This season, the young heroes confront an impending Supes-vs.-Humans conflict.

The Morning Show | Apple TV+ | Drama

Season 4 premiere, Wednesday, September 17: The Morning Show’s fourth season takes place two years after the events of the third season. What an interval! I can’t think of a time that’s ever happened with a TV series. Anyway, Jon Hamm’s back, Julianna Margulies is gone, and “the newsroom must grapple with newfound responsibility, hidden motives, and the elusive nature of truth in a polarized America. All ten episodes are available to binge-watch starting today.

Black Rabbit | Netflix | Drama

Limited series premiere, Thursday, September 18: Jason Bateman (Ozark, Arrested Development) and Jude Law (The Wizard of the Kremlin) star as the Friedken brothers, who own a VIP nightclub (Black Rabbit) in New York City. Actually, Jake Friedken (Law) has recently allowed Vince F. (Bateman) back into the business, which turns out to maybe possibly be a bad decision, as Vince’s ties to bad guys threaten the club’s existence. All eight episodes are available to stream on Netflix today.

Haunted Hotel | Netflix | Adult animation, comedy

Series premiere, Friday, September 19: From showrunner Matt Roller—writer for Archer, Community, and Rick and Morty—comes this animated series about a single mom running a haunted hotel called the Undervale—with help from her ghostly estranged brother and his phantom friends. The series, which was the subject of a bidding war, stars the voices of Will Forte, Eliza Coupe, Skyler Gisondo, Natalie Palamides, and Jimmi Simpson.
