The Incredible Jessica James *Netflix Original
This unconventional comedy features The Daily Show‘s wonderful Jessica Williams in the title role opposite Bridesmaids‘ Chris O’Dowd and follows Jessica as she navigates the tumultuous waters of becoming an established playwright (and getting over her latest big breakup). With its quick dialogue, electric chemistry, and honest storytelling, The Incredible Jessica James stands out as one of the freshest films of 2017 so far.

The Last Tycoon *Amazon Original
The latest Amazon Original series stars Lily Collins, Matt Bomer, Kelsey Grammer, and a slew of other wildly talented performers and tells the story of Monroe Stahr, Hollywood’s first big studio executive in the 1930s, and his struggle for power against his former mentor Pat Brady as they navigate the Nazi regime. Collins is experiencing something of a streaming renaissance, and it’s way too fun to watch her finally get the attention she deserves.
