What to watch this weekend
East of Eden — Netflix
If you want a complete season to settle into, this seven-episode period drama adapts John Steinbeck’s 1952 novel. Netflix Tudum describes the adaptation as Zoe Kazan’s, with Florence Pugh, Christopher Abbott, and Mike Faist among its stars. TechRadar reported all seven episodes available, making it the clearest binge pick of the group.

Sienna Miller and Dominic West lead this legal drama about two prestigious firms drawn into a bitter divorce case involving a wealthy technology entrepreneur and his film-star wife. The opposing firms and high-profile personal stakes make it the prestige-drama choice here. TechRadar reported that episodes arrive weekly through November 19 in the UK, where it also listed Sky and Now availability. The official trailer had 117 million views two weeks before the premiere, according to TechRadar’s 2026 report; that is a trailer-view figure, not a measure of audience size for the series.

Scrubs, season 2 — Hulu and Disney+
The revival returns with a two-episode premiere, picking up ongoing character stories that include Dr. Cox’s autoimmune disease. Choose it for a returning comedy rather than a new standalone story. Streaming access is listed on Hulu and Disney+; which service carries it can depend on your country.
Evil Dead Burn — HBO Max
This horror film follows a grieving widow trying to survive after her late husband’s family becomes Deadites. TechRadar’s review summary praises the entertaining gore and set pieces but describes the story as basic and reliant on jump scares. It is the most direct fit for viewers looking for graphic, supernatural horror rather than a slow-burn mystery.

Kill Jackie — Prime Video
Catherine Zeta-Jones plays Jackie Price, an art dealer targeted by hitmen. She responds by using her connections and ingenuity to hunt them down. The eight-episode thriller is adapted from Nick Harkaway’s novel The Price You Pay. The available information identifies it as a Prime Video original but does not establish its episode-release schedule.

This true-crime docuseries examines Thomas Randolph, whose six wives included four who died in suspicious circumstances; two survived, and Randolph was eventually convicted of murder. The project involves Dateline correspondent Dan Slepian, filmmaker Chris Smith, and local detectives. Its subject matter makes it the pick for viewers seeking an investigative account rather than scripted suspense.
Rank #3
Africa: Earth’s Wild Home — National Geographic and Disney+
The documentary follows conservationists, scientists, and local communities working to protect African wildlife, including the armored pangolin. TechRadar’s 2026 coverage says the program cites a nearly 80% decline in Africa’s wildlife population over the last 50 years. That is the figure highlighted by the program as reported by TechRadar, not an independently verified estimate presented here.
