The first few weeks of April have kicked off the final seasons for several marquee shows. The Boys is now three episodes into its fifth and final season on Prime Video, while Hacks recently kicked off its last run on HBO Max. Elsewhere, Euphoria ended its four-year hiatus with an explosive season 3 premiere. What’s great about television is that we can do it all again this weekend with a new crop of shows.
The best show of the week comes from Netflix, which brings back its Emmy-winning anthology series centered around a new conflict. Not far behind is an Apple TV dramedy stacked with award-winning actors. Here’s the full lineup for the weekend.

Full Swing season 4
Golf’s version of Drive to Survive
Professional golf is not a niche sport anymore. It’s a global game with a rapidly growing audience—so big that a faction of golfers started a new league—LIV Golf—to compete with the PGA Tour. To capitalize on the sport’s explosion and the audience’s increased appetite for documentaries, Netflix has given golf the Drive to Survive treatment with Full Swing, an all-access pass inside the world of golf.
Full Swing season 4 chronicles the 2025 golf season, which included Rory McIlroy’s career grand slam and Tommy Fleetwood’s breakthrough. However, the top story from last season was the Ryder Cup. The bitter rivalry between the United States and Europe reached a riveting conclusion on the golf course. As someone who watched the explosive Ryder Cup, I’m stoked to see the interviews from the players on each team, especially the ones that discuss the rowdy fanbase. Make Golf Fun Again.
Full Swing season 4 begins streaming on Netflix in the U.S. and around the world on April 17.

American Gladiators
The world’s most ridiculous athletic competition returns
If you’ve never seen American Gladiators, you’re in for a treat. The legendary show from the early 1990s pitted male and female contestants up against superior athletes (“gladiators”) in competition to see who would win. It’s OK to say that American Gladiators was ridiculous. Watching contestants jousting or rock climbing isn’t life or death. You know what? I take that back. Actually, it is necessary because it’s fun to watch the gladiators humble the contestants with their size and strength.

This rebooted version of American Gladiators keeps a lot of the same hallmarks of the original. Thankfully, the obstacle course known as “The Eliminator” returns as the final game. I’ve never wanted to do something more in my life than sprint up the Travelator.
American Gladiators premieres with the first three episodes on Prime Video on April 17.

From season 4
An underrated horror returns for more scares
From is the embodiment of a cult classic. The horror series centers around a town where residents cannot escape. To make matters worse, creepy nocturnal creatures wreak havoc on the outskirts of the town in the forest. If you’re into atmospheric horror mixed with a Stephen King–esque story, you’ll enjoy From.
Everyone who watches it comes away saying the same thing: “Why isn’t this show more popular?” My answer comes down to its streaming service, MGM+. Most people have Prime Video, but not everyone subscribes to MGM+, which is owned by Amazon MGM Studios. Right now, you can watch From season 1 on Prime Video. Stream those episodes and then decide if you want to continue. My bet is that this enticing mystery will lead you to stream this long-running show. Plus, the series will return for a fifth and final season in 2027.
From season 4 premieres on April 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on MGM+.

Margo’s Got Money Troubles
Star-studded cast in a dramedy from an all-star creator
No streamer sells its shows on star power more than Apple TV. The Apple TV playbook relies on noteworthy actors, high-concept stories, and attention-grabbing thumbnails. I can attest that this formula works because it’s how I discovered Severance and Silo.
Margo’s Got Money Troubles is a story about a college dropout who needs money to pay her bills and support her baby. You know who doesn’t have money issues? Apple TV. This show has a star-studded cast that includes Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nick Offerman, Marcia Gay Harden, Greg Kinnear, and Nicole Kidman. Oh, and David E. Kelly—perhaps the most prolific showrunner of the last 35 years—created the show based on Rufi Thorpe’s novel. Apple, you did it again because I’m sold.
The first three episodes of Margo’s Got Money Troubles are now streaming on Apple TV.

Beef season 2
A new conflict arises
Calling Beef season 1 an overwhelming success is an understatement. I couldn’t believe how it dominated the awards season, winning every major award on sight, including eight Emmy Awards. On its surface, season 1 was a show about how one road rage incident sparked an entire feud. I was surprised when the show became more of a reflection on loneliness and generational trauma.
Instead of bringing back the same cast, Beef smartly pivoted to an anthology format to introduce a conflict between a new set of characters. On one side sits Josh (Oscar Isaac) and his wife, Lindsay (Carey Mulligan). On the other hand, there is Austin (Charles Melton) and his fiancée, Ashley (Cailee Spaeny). After Austin and Ashley witness a fight between Josh and Lindsay, all hell breaks loose as each couple tries to outmaneuver one another for a higher social status at a wealthy country club. I’ll let you be the judge if it recaptures the same magic as the first season.
Beef season 2 is now streaming on Netflix in the U.S.

More TV shows to add to your list
The great thing about streaming is you’ll eventually find something to watch. There are too many options to pass up. If you want a show to finish in one weekend, try a miniseries like Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair or Mare of Easttown. If that doesn’t work for your schedule, try tuning in for a weekly series like Daredevil: Born Again season 2.
