‘Sara - Woman in the Shadows’ series premiere | Netflix
Sara thought she had seen it all. In a long career as a secret agent, Sara has grappled with things that most people have never even dreamed of, tangling with dangerous criminals around the world and doing everything she can to serve the interests of the public — sometimes by taking down horrific perpetrators of monstrous crimes.
Sara has stepped away from that career in favor of spending more time with family — or so she thought. The suspicious death of her son pushes her back into that dark world, forcing her to investigate a series of crimes that become increasingly sinister as she searches for answers.

‘Stick’ series premiere | Apple TV+
Eat your heart out, “Happy Gilmore 2.” Apple TV+ has its own golf comedy premiering in the form of “Stick,” a series starring Owen Wilson as a former pro golfer whose public meltdown on the course not only ended his career, it made him a laughing stock in golf circles around the world.
As a result, Wilson’s character,r Pryce Cahill, is in a tough spot. His wife wants to leave him, his employment at a local sporting goods store has been terminated, and his future is less certain than ever when he meets a 17-year-old golf phenom whose behavior is as erratic as his skills are prodigious. This encounter may give Cahill the drive he needs to get his own life back on track.

This season, the team has pitted themselves against a power broker stealing clean water, fought against a Mayor who’s both judge and jury of his small town, outrun a mark who’s finally caught up with them mid-con, and outhustled a pool hustler with a side business in international extortion.

NBA Finals Game 2, Indiana Pacers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder | ABC, stream on ESPN3 with a subscription to Sling TV
The NBA Finals may not feature any teams from a big-name coastal city this year, but that doesn’t mean the series isn’t worth your time! The Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder were two of the best clubs in the league all season long, and their matchup should make for compelling viewing, to say the least.
Sling TV
Sling TV is The Streamable’s choice for cord-cutters on a budget. Sling is a live TV streaming service with multiple channel packages. The $45.99/month Sling Orange plan offers about 30 channels, including Disney Channel and ESPN. The $45.99/month Sling Blue plan offers about 40 channels, including ABC, Fox, and NBC in major markets.
You can combine Orange+Blue for a total of $60.99 / month. Sling also offers many channel add-on packages starting at $6/month.
Led by 2024-25 NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder compiled the best record in the Western Conference, and apart from a seven-game series against the Denver Nuggets have mostly waltzed through the playoffs. But Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers have been no less impressive, downing the East’s No. 1 seed the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks en route to the Finals.
