Another weekend means another batch of streaming recommendations, and there's plenty of variety to choose from this week. Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, and Mahershala Ali star in new Netflix thriller Leave the World Behind, while Todd Haynes' May December, which is already generating Oscar buzz for actor Charles Melton, has made its way to the UK via Sky Cinema. If you're in the mood for something a little more festive and lighthearted, try animated movie Merry Little Batman or Christmas rom-com Your Christmas or Mine 2, both on Prime Video.
Doctor Who, the Squid Game reality show, and more new TV this week

It’s (American) Thanksgiving this week, which means you might watch a lot of TV, but it might not be strictly new releases. But that doesn’t mean television stops; amid all the Mystery Science Theater 3000 marathons and parade fare there’s plenty of new offerings to catch up on. That might be from the year writ large — is it finally time to catch up on Silo or make space for Fionna and Cake in full? Or maybe you’re looking to keep the autumnal season alive with a classic like Over the Garden Wallor a gone-too-soon hit like Marianne.
Or you can check out some of the new offerings below. Here’s all the new TV premieres and finales this week.
Genre: Dystopic reality show
Release date: Nov. 22
Based on the original show by: Hwang Dong-hyuk
Cast: 456 contestants trying to win a bunch of money in an IP-based reality competition
You remember Squid Game, the show about a bunch of poor and disenfranchised people who get brought into a competition where they could win millions of dollars but if they lose they die? Well Netflix made a real reality show based on that. The results are much more subdued: Less death, more standard reality fare.
Genre: Sci-fi anniversary bonanza
Release date: Nov. 25
Showrunner/creator: Russell T. Davies
Cast: David Tennant, Catherine Tate, Neil Patrick Harris, and more
The logline of this major 60th anniversary special of Doctor Who is that The Doctor — now in his Fourteenth incarnation — regenerated with an old face, specifically that of David Tennant (who played the Tenth Doctor). All that and Donna (Catherine Tate) can recognize him despite having her memory wiped.
But more importantly: Tennant and Tate are back together! Sex Education and Barbie’s Ncuti Gatwa is stepping into the role as the Fifteenth Doctor! Ahh!
Genre: Crime mystery
Release date: Nov. 21 with one episode
Showrunner/creator: Noah Hawley
Cast: Juno Temple, Jon Hamm, Joe Keery, Lamorne Morris, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Richa Moorjani, and more
The anthology series based on the Coen Bros. classic is back, with a new cast and a return to a familiar setting (North Dakota/Minnesota). Juno Temple stars as a housewife in Minnesota who suddenly finds herself in trouble with the law. And then there’s Jon Hamm, playing a sheriff looking for her, all relaxed with nipple piercings. There’s nothing else quite like Fargo.
Genre: Period piece dramedy
Release date: Nov. 24
Showrunner/creator: Lee Eisenberg
Cast: Brie Larson, Aja Naomi King, Stephanie Koenig, Patrick Walker, and more
Elizabeth’s adventures teaching the housewives more than cooking on her at-home cooking show are wrapping up (at least, for season 1). In that time tensions have really bubbled over — we’re talking flashbacks to puritanical morals and violent political

End of Era GTA Discounts, the Cheapest Avatar Preorders, a Game Awards Steam Sale, and More!
Though the deals are good and I'm genuinely proud of the below lists, today's one of those days where I don't really want to be writing an intro. Frankly, I think my time would be better spent watching the "officially leaked" GTA VI trailer one more time. Y'know, for the the tenth viewing of. Possibly on the slowest playback speed, too, so I can spot yet another mind-blowing detail about this immensely impressive showcase.

The Monk movie, Hulu’s new heist thriller, and more new TV this week
The end of the year is looming, but TV isn’t slowing down a bit. This week we have all sorts of offerings to pad out the doldrums of this long dark we’re in (curse you, daylight savings time). If you’re looking for something more exciting, there’s Culprits, a heist murder mystery, or Blood Coast, a new crime thriller from Netflix. Or maybe you prefer the cozier comforts of Mr. Monk’s Last Case — the TV movie that, if the title is to be believed, will be the final farewell for the beloved Tony Shalhoub character.

Netflix’s K-drama reality show, a Baz Luhrmann miniseries and more new TV this week
While this week may feel like a bit of a slog after the long holiday weekend, luckily the new TV this week does not. Take Obliterated, for example, Netflix’s latest bawdy comedy about an elite special forces team having to go through their own The Hangover-esque recovery as they try to track down a nuclear bomb. It’s a comedy that is often raunchy but even more frequently funny, and the show is smarter than it has to be.
