DEPT. Q — Netflix

DEPT. Q is a mystery thriller loaded with twists and turns, perfect for a weekend binge, so long as you’re paying attention. Based in Scotland, you have DCI Carl Morck (Matthew Goode) who is an “arsehole” but nevertheless an elite cop. A shooting leaves a rookie officer dead and almost mortally wounds Morck, along with his partner. But after four months Morck is recovering and gets his own unit—but he’s stuck in a basement bathroom turned office and working a puzzling cold case. This is where he (unwillingly) recruits a motley crew of castoffs that include Akram Salim (Alexej Manvelov), a matter of fact Msulim guy from IT who used to work for the police, allegedly, while in his homeland of Syria. Watch and you’ll soon enough see why Akram is our favorite character.—Alvin aqua Blanco

Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy — Netflix

As someone who refuses to be in massive crowds at music festivals due to my claustrophobia, Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy hit hard. I’ve actually witnessed a Travis Scott set at a festival before and remember thinking back then how overwhelming that crowd felt and that I had never seen anything like it in person. Watching this documentary—part of the Trainwreck series—with real footage from that tragic day, was tough and It follows several concertgoers who were directly impacted, along with some family members of those who passed away. Seeing the chaos, the screaming for help, and realizing how much of it could’ve been prevented was heartbreaking. You also hear from experts, law enforcement, security, and EMS about what went wrong and what they tried to do to help. It’s heavy, but necessary. I really hope this leads to safer conditions at concerts moving forward. No family should ever have to go through something like this.—Alexis Felder

FX’s Adults — Hulu

Shows about high school, college life, or even the post-collegiate transition to the workforce are plentiful. But capturing that late 20s awkward stage? Not so much. That’s where FX’s new quick-witted comedy Adults comes in, which tells the story of a group of friends trying to find their way in their careers, relationships, and ever-growing friendships in Queens, NY. One of the gang’s standouts is Anton, played by Owen Thiele, whose uncanny ability to make friends comes with its own set of hilarious issues and expectedly sketchy situations that can only happen in New York City. To kickstart your weekend binge session, you can even watch the first episode on YouTube.

BMF

The Flenory brothers are back in another season of the Starz hit drama, not named Power, loosely based on actual events that happened in the lives of Black Mafia Family’s leaders, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory and his younger brother Terry “Southwest T” Flenory. Season 4 sees Big Meech (Demetrius Flenory Jr.) and Terry (Da’Vinchi) not only try to build their empire while avoiding the law, rival dealers, but they must also deal with each other as the brothers are now at odds with each other because they have different visions when regarding how BMF should operate.

Season 4 also sees the return of Lamar  (Eric Kofi-Abrefa), whom the Flenory brothers thought was no longer in the picture, along with Detective Bryant (Steve Harris) hot on their trail and out for revenge following the suicide of his son, whom he feels the Meech and Terry are responsible for. B-Mickie (Myles Truitt) is also back after being run out of Detroit for being a snitch and wants back in on the drug-dealing action.

You can watch season 4 of BMF now on the Starz app and the Starz network. — Beanz
