“The Flight Attendant”
No need to leave the couch to enjoy a trip through the misadventures of Cassie Bowden (Kaley Cuoco), a free-spirited alcoholic flight attendant whose turbulent life gets even crazier after she spends the night with one of the passengers on her flight to Bangkok. What begins as a night of boozy shenanigans transforms into a murder mystery with Cassie racing to find answers without raising the suspicions of the FBI. Luckily, she gets a little help in solving the murder from the victim himself. You can stream “The Flight Attendant” on HBO Max.
“Lovecraft Country”
Set in the 1950s, “Lovecraft Country” is a supernatural drama that tackles the horrors of racism in America. The series, based on Matt Ruff’s novel and developed by Misha Green, follows Atticus Freeman (Jonathan Majors), his friend Leticia (Jurnee Smollett) and his Uncle George (Courtney B. Vance), as they embark on a journey to track down his missing father (played by Michael K. Williams). The story unfolds during the Jim Crow era and intertwines real-life stories (such as the murder of Emmett Till and the Tulsa Race Massacre). The search for his lost father leads Atticus on a road to self discovery that forces him to harness his inner-power (and travel through time) to learn more about his roots. “Lovecraft Country” won’t be returning for a second season, but you can stream season one on HBO Max.

Baby Yoga) but switches gears and goes on the run instead. “The Mandalorian” became the most watched streaming series in the U.S., but if you haven’t already seen it, stream it now on Disney+.
