Week of October 16

Binge or Bail

Four titles. Twenty seconds each. Remy watched them so you don't have to.

  1. 01NetflixBINGE

    The Diplomat, Season 4

    100% RT · 4.5/5 Tom's Guide

    Keri Russell's Kate Wyler, a marriage that's a beautiful disaster, and now Jodie Whittaker as a British power player. Critics say it's the best season yet. Eight episodes, all out now.

  2. 02PeacockBACKGROUND IT

    Crystal Lake

    Split critics

    It's 1971 and Pamela Voorhees is back in the camp kitchen. Linda Cardellini is terrifying and the kills are practical. Too many subplots, though: put it on, scroll your phone, look up for episodes 7 and 8.

  3. 03NetflixBAIL

    Sacrifice

    37% RT

    Anya Taylor-Joy's eco-cult takes Chris Evans hostage at a charity gala. Sounds wild. Plays muddled.

  4. 04Paramount+BINGEfor fans

    Tulsa King, Season 4

    Season 5 confirmed

    Dwight's crew is back, he has friends in the governor's office, and Robert Davi shows up to ruin it. If you watched the first three seasons, you're watching this.

Your weekend

The Diplomat tonight, Tulsa King if you're a fan, Crystal Lake on in the background. Skip Sacrifice.

The Rewind · this week’s throwback

Heat (1995)

If you have never seen Pacino and De Niro across a diner table, that is the scene every crime show since has been copying. Three hours. Clear your Saturday.

Netflix

Rewind week

One 60-second throwback a day, a different decade each day, always something you can stream tonight. This week: the Halloween countdown.

  1. Mon · '60s

    Ocean's 11 (1960)

    Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. Less about the robbery, more about the hang.

    HBO Max
  2. Tue · '70s

    The Exorcist (1973)

    People fainted in theaters. Fifty years later, the stairs scene still works.

    HBO Max
  3. Wed · '80s

    A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

    One rule: don't fall asleep. Everybody has to sleep.

    HBO Max
  4. Thu · '90s

    Scream (1996)

    What's your favorite scary movie? Smarter than every film it makes fun of.
