Anne Hathaway's Solène, a 40-year-old recently divorced single mom, falls for a 24-year-old world-famous boy band member named Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine, also on Starz's "Mary & George").

Despite the premise, their romance isn't a fairy tale. But Hathaway and Galitzine's chemistry is sizzling, and it's great escapist fare. It's also a streaming exclusive, so there's no need to trek out to a theater to see it.

Jerry Seinfeld stars in, directed, and also co-wrote a new Netflix comedy (very) loosely based on the true story of how Pop-Tarts were created. Fred Armisen, Amy Schumer, and Melissa McCarthy costar.

This one probably won't be winning any awards, but it's got Hugh Grant as the dude under the Tony the Tiger mascot costume, so it's probably right for you if you're in a certain kind of mood.

'The Contestant' is a documentary about a shocking true story

Reality TV can be a cesspool, and the story of a Japanese man named Tomoaki "Nasubi" Hamatsu is one of the most horrifying examples of that.

In 1998, the aspiring comedian became an unwitting reality star after a TV producer invited him to take part in a challenge during what he thought was an audition. Confined to a room, told to strip naked, and left with a stack of magazines to clip contest coupons from, Nasubi ended up staying there for months, cut off from the outside world. The whole time, he was unknowingly being broadcast to over 15 million people in a show called "Denpa Shonen: A Life in Prizes."

"The Contestant" recounts the infamous story and explores what happened in Nasubi's life after "Denpa Shonen" propelled him to stardom.

'The Veil' is a new thriller

"The Handmaid's Tale" star Elisabeth Moss leads this new FX show, which is an international spy thriller with two women at the center. The synopsis teases that the two have a "surprising and fraught relationship," which is kind of giving "Killing Eve" vibes. The first two episodes of the six-episode miniseries are out now.
