Your Weekend Strategy

If you are looking for pure quality, this is the week of the Heavy Hitters.

My advice?

Do not sleep on Criminal Record: Season 2 on Wednesday—Apple TV is basically the king of gritty thrillers right now.

Friday is clearly Apex and Marty Supreme day; you cannot go wrong with Charlize Theron or Timothée Chalamet. And if you are in India, getting Brooklyn Nine-Nine on JioHotstar is the ultimate win for your “dinner-and-a-show” routine.
