Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Landman,’ Dealpool & Wolverine’ and more come to streaming this week
‘Cross,’ ‘Bad Sisters,’ and ‘In Cold Water’ bring a wave of crime titles to streaming this week.
How are we feeling, America? One thing voters can be thankful for after the final results of the 2024 U.S. presidential election is that there will be no further political ads on top TV channels or streaming services, and that’s a gain that all audiences can agree on regardless of affiliation.
The onset of a new week also means a new set of TV and streaming premieres. Some networks were holding back big premieres to avoid competing with election coverage, and I’ve compiled my usual list of the best titles to stream this week below!
