What to Stream This Weekend: Fresh Picks for Your Chill Nights

When the weather’s unpredictable and parking in Boston becomes a headache, why not stay in and stream something fun? Here are my top picks for weekend viewing—guaranteed to hit just right.

On Netflix – The Old Guard 2

Charlize Theron returns as Andy, leading a band of immortal warriors in this action-packed sequel that dropped July 2 on Netflix. It’s got all the adrenaline of the first film—with bigger stakes, fresh threats, and Uma Thurman joining the fight.

On Hulu – Queenie

This British drama, adapted from Candice Carty-Williams’ hit novel, is raw, witty, and full of heart. “Messy, real, and quietly hilarious,” it’s the perfect balance of smart and soulful.

On Amazon Prime – The Idea of You

Anne Hathaway plays a 40-something mom who finds herself in a whirlwind attraction with a boy-band heartthrob. Think Gen X meets millennial pandemonium—it’s cute, charming, and a sweet slice of escapism.

Grab your snug socks, fix your drink of choice—rosé, cold brew, or whatever fits your vibe—and dive in.
