What To Watch This Week: Stream Our Top 7 TV and Movie Picks (April 21–27)

Andor | Disney+ | Sci-fi, drama

Series premiere, Tuesday, April 22: The acclaimed Star Wars spinoff (Rogue One prequel, to be precise) is back for a second—and final—season, nearly three years after the series debuted. We have COVID-19 (ha—sounds like a droid’s name!) to thank for the delay. In the new season, Diego Luna returns as titular thief Cassian Andor for a story arc that, each week, covers one year per three episodes. Slobbered on by critics and fans alike, maybe this season Andor will win an Emmy instead of garnering only nominations.

The Cleaner | Britbox | Comedy

Streaming premiere (US), Wednesday, April 23: Greg Davies (The Inbetweeners) plays Paul “Wicky” Wickstead, a cleaner—excuse me, crime scene cleaner (he’s sensitive about that). In each episode, Wicky deals with a mucky mess involving a wacky character portrayed by guest stars including Helena Bonham Carter, David Mitchell, and Shakin’ Stevens. Does Wicky like his gig? As he says in this trailer, “You do get to see how people live— I say ‘live,’ but they’re mainly horribly dead.” The Cleaner’s three seasons make their U.S. streaming debut today.

Black Snow | AMC+, Sundance Now | Drama

Season two premiere, Thursday, April 24: The Australian murder mystery is back for a second season. It’s now 2024, five years after the events of the first season, and Detective James McCormack (Vikings’ Travis Fimmel) tackles another twisty cold case. Simultaneously, McCormack continues to investigate the disappearance of his younger brother two decades prior. Fimmel is the only returning cast member from the first season. All six episodes stream today in the season’s U.S. streaming debut.

Étoile | Prime Video | Comedy, drama

Series premiere, Thursday, April 24: From Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) comes a new series set in the world of dance. Two struggling ballet companies, one in New York and one in Paris, swap their star performers in hopes of reversing their downward spirals. Luke Kirby, Gideon Glick, and Yanic Truesdale lead the cast. All eight episodes stream today on Prime Video and they must be good—the series is already slated for a second season.

You | Netflix | Thriller

Season five premiere, Thursday, April 24: The Netflix Original psychological thriller based on Catherine Kepnes’ novels wraps up with this fifth and final season. Can antihero Joel Goldberg (Penn Badgley) overcome his dark proclivities and live a normal life? Will he be tempted by a new young woman? Could he be outed by suspicious in-laws or his own newfound fame? OMG, OMG, OMG—we’ll see. All 10 episodes hit Netflix today for your binge-watching pleasure.

Jessica Kirson: I’m the Man | Hulu | Stand-up comedy

Special, Friday, April 25: I watched about three hours of Jessica Kirson on YouTube over the past few days. I don’t know if I heard a single bit of written material. It’s all been crowd work, which appears to be Kirson’s greatest skill. I’ve loved every moment. We’ll likely see more material in a stand-up special, but I also hope we get to see Kirson show off her blazing fast, laser-accurate, people-reading powers, and how she connects with her audience. If not, I’m the Man will still be a great time—and there’s still a ton of Kirson’s crowd work on YouTube.
