As May draws to a close and summer approaches, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, HBO, Showtime, STARZ, and other streaming services are turning up the heat with their top-notch content. Original series, uproarious comedy specials, and beloved big flicks are heading to the platforms for your streaming pleasure. Don’t stress about holiday weekend plans; get comfy at home and indulge in some quality content.
Original series Bloodline and Casual are back on Netflix and Hulu for their third seasons, and have somehow managed to raise the storytelling bar even higher than before. Prime Video’s got the steamy second season of Poldark available to stream this weekend, and the highly-anticipated, Brad Pitt-starring Netflix original film War Machine is armed and ready to knock your socks off. While some of your favorite titles may be heading out in June, the movies and shows being added to these platforms make up for any potential void in your queue. So what are you waiting for? Go enjoy that three-day weekend with your choice of streaming gold.
Bloodline: Season 3 *Netflix Original
The Rayburns are back in the Keys for a final season as they continue to process the aftermath of the murder of Danny (Ben Mendelsohn) and guilty conscience of the brother who killed him (Kyle Chandler). As the family continues to deteriorate and secrets become exposed, these “good” people just can’t seem to stop doing bad things as they move forward with their lives – in whichever devastating direction that may be. The series’ slow-burn approach offers intrigue and absolutely flooring performances across the board.

War Machine *Netflix Original
This absurd, star-studded war story puts Brad Pitt in the shoes of charismatic General Glenn McMahon (based on General Stanley McChrystal), the man who commanded the NATO forces in Afghanistan and became the target of a journalist’s exposé. This unique hybrid of parody and reality directed and written by Animal Kingdom‘s David Michôd is loosely based on Michael Hastings’ best-selling non-fiction book The Operators: The Wild & Terrifying Inside Story of America’s War in Afghanistan and also stars Tilda Swinton, Ben Kingsley, Topher Grace, Keith Stanfield, and other big names.

Casual: Season 3 *Hulu Original
Hulu’s hit original dramedy starring Michaela Watkins and Tommy Dewey as co-dependent siblings picks up for its latest season as they continue to raise Valerie’s daughter Laura and adjust to their new lives after the events of the series’ second season. Funny, biting, and touching, there is nothing casual about how much you’re bound to love this series.
