Cut the crap: our weekly streaming column recommends one perfect thing to watch

There’s so much streaming entertainment these days that picking one perfect thing to watch feels impossible, and what’s supposed to be fun can feel downright intimidating. So our weekly streaming recommendation column, Cut the Crap, is here to simplify the decision. Each Friday, we look at what’s going on in the entertainment world, and we pick something to go with it — one perfect film, show, or episode available on VOD or on major streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. We’ll explain why it’s a good time for this recommendation, and why it’s worth your time specifically. Let us help you cut through the world’s ever-growing pile of mediocre entertainment and find one thing worth watching.
