Tired of endless scrolling through Netflix, Hulu, and all the other streaming platforms? Mashable’s entertainment team is here to rescue your weekend. They’ve sifted through this week’s new releases to give you a curated list, ranked from least to most watchable.

At the bottom of the list is “Fear Street: Prom Queen” (Netflix), a slasher spinoff criticized for lacking the depth and charisma of its predecessors. “Fountain of Youth” (Apple TV+), a Guy Ritchie-esque adventure starring John Krasinski and Natalie Portman, is noted for trying to do too much at once.

Moving up the ranks, “Nine Perfect Strangers” Season 2 (Hulu) offers a ski resort-themed wellness retreat with an all-star cast including Nicole Kidman and Christine Baranski. Netflix’s “Big Mouth” returns for its eighth and final season, promising more puberty-fueled misadventures, while “Rick and Morty” Season 8 (Adult Swim/Hulu/HBO Max) is expected to deliver its signature blend of high-concept sci-fi and outrageous laughs.

Netflix’s dark comedy “Sirens,” starring Julianne Moore and Milly Alcock, offers moments of brilliance but ultimately falls short. On Shudder, “The Surrender” explores grief through a supernatural lens, while the family fantasy adventure “The Legend of Ochi” is now available for rental or purchase on Prime Video.

Near the top is “Mickey 17” (HBO Max), Bong Joon Ho’s latest genre-bending film starring Robert Pattinson in a class conflict-driven story.

Taking the top spot is “Pee-wee as Himself” (HBO/HBO Max), a two-part documentary exploring the life and legacy of Paul Reubens.

So ditch the endless scrolling and dive into Mashable’s picks for a weekend of quality streaming.
