Another weekend means another batch of fresh streaming recommendations handpicked by us, and there's no shortage of stuff to watch this week. If you're looking for a new series to start, there are several choices to get stuck into. For starters, murder mystery comedy Murderville recently dropped on Netflix if you want to see Will Arnett and some unwitting guest stars try to solve fictional crimes.
Over on Prime Video, there's new crime thriller Reacher, while HBO Max has the season 2 premiere of sci-fi drama Raised By Wolves. Alternatively, tune into either Hulu or Disney Plus (depending on which side of the pond you're on) for comedy biopic Pam & Tommy starring Lily James and Sebastian Stan as the title characters.
As for movies, UK viewers can catch Brokeback Mountain on Netflix, or, for something a little more fast-paced, you can get stuck into a Fast and Furious movie marathon on Prime Video. Happy streaming.
Murderville – Netflix
Available: Worldwide
Watch today: Netflix
Murderville stars Will Arnett as Detective Terry Seattle who has to solve a murder in every episode with a new celebrity guest star as his partner. The only problem? The guest star never gets a script and has to improvise their way through the mystery. The guest stars in question include Sharon Stone, Schitt's Creek's Annie Murphy, Ken Jeong, and Kumail Nanjiani. If the concept sounds familiar, it's because it's based on the BBC show Murder in Successville.

Alan Ritchson plays Jack Reacher in this new crime thriller series, a retired military police officer who's arrested for a murder he didn't commit and finds himself in the midst of a conspiracy involving corrupt cops and scheming politicians.
