What To Watch This Week: Stream Our Top 7 TV and Movie Picks (June 9–15)

Virgins | TLC | Reality

Series premiere, Monday, June 9: Reality shows are cringe—but what if one of them offered to help you score after three or four decades of accidental, incidental, intentional, or involuntary celibacy? Virgins balances cringe reality (e.g. Big Ed from TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé) authenticity and warmth (as seen in Netflix’s charming Love on the Spectrum) in a series seeking to deflower four adults aged 34–42. The only thing better—and even more worthwhile—would be a show rehabilitating alpha males and incels.

The Kollective | Hulu | Drama

Series premiere, Tuesday, June 10: “After a sudden tragedy, a group of young citizen journalists find themselves embarking on a dangerous quest to expose the truth in a world ruled by corruption and lies.” That’s the official synopsis for this series starring Natasha McElhone (Californication), Celine Buckens (Cinemax’s Warrior), and Felix Mayr (The Meg 2: The Trench). Sounds kinda timely, in a scary way. If you can deal with more anxiety related to real-world political intrigue, this’ll ride that last nerve. All six episodes are available to stream today.

Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy | Netflix | Documentary series

New episodes starting, Tuesday, June 10: A new episode in this Netflix anthology series covers the disastrous 2021 Astroworld music festival, which ended in tragedy with 10 fatalities. Subsequent episodes, which premiere weekly, deal with the dumpster fire called ex-Toronton mayor Rob Ford, the infamous “Poop Cruise,” the “Balloon Boy” hoax, “The Cult of American Apparel,” “The Real Project X,” and more.

FUBAR | Netflix | Comedy, drama

Season 2 premiere, Thursday, June 12: Not to be confused with the killer Canadian comedy trilogy of the same name, this Arnold Schwarzenegger daddy-daughter spy series returns for a second season. Carrie Anne Moss (The Matrix) joins the cast as a sexy ex-German spy with whom Schwarzenegger’s Luke Brunner has a romantic past. Expect more explosive action, espionage-related pickles, AHnuld movie references, and one-liners from comedian Fortune Feimster as Roo.

Revival | Peacock, Syfy | Drama, horror

Series premiere, Thursday, June 12: If you have zombie fatigue, I have good and bad news: Revival, based on the comics by Tim Seely and Mike Norton, isn’t a zombie series—but it also kinda is. This time, the walking dead act just like themselves—except when they don’t (some have super strength and fast-healing powers). And there’s a murder mystery involved, which probably stems from some strange event—like perhaps a bunch of dead people (“Revivers”) rising from the grave, potentially with superpowers. Melanie Scrofano (Wynonna Earp) stars, wrestler CM Punk guest stars. New episodes debut live on Syfy, then stream on Peacock a week later.

Atsuko Okatsuka: Father | Hulu | Stand-up comedy

Special, Friday, June 13: In Taiwanese-American comedian Atsuko Okatsuka’s first special, she confesses to being clueless outside of her professional career: She hasn’t done laundry in seven years and had no idea marriage licenses are a thing. In the trailer for Father, Okatsuka says, “Women? Why do we have to know everything? Why do we have to be stable? What about the bitch that crumbles easily? I wanna grow my hair out, but I can’t—because this [points to her bowl haircut] is my brand!”
