If your watchlist is starting to look a little dusty or you’re simply overwhelmed by the endless scroll of streaming platforms, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. This week’s highlights take you from a high-pressure ER in Miami to a time-traveling whodunit, a devilish bounty hunter, a deeply human sexual awakening, and even a British killer with an impeccable to-do list. Whether you’re into gritty medical dramas or twisted comedies, here’s what to stream this week on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and more.
“Pulse” (Netflix): High-Stakes Medicine in the Heat of Miami
If you were gripped by shows like ER or Grey’s Anatomy, brace yourself—“Pulse” turns the tension up several notches. Set in a chaotic Miami emergency room, the series follows Dr. Danielle Simms (Willa Fitzgerald), a brilliant but controversial resident returning to the hospital where she once blew the whistle on a senior surgeon. And let’s just say… the welcome committee is less than warm.
Between life-or-death decisions, icy coworkers, and a boss who doesn’t tolerate nonsense (played with fire by Justina Machado), Danielle finds herself navigating both medical emergencies and moral minefields. Add in Colin Woodell as a colleague with questionable motives, and you’ve got a fast-paced medical drama that explores burnout, integrity, and the price of speaking up. Bold storytelling meets real-world relevance.
“Flashback” (TF1+): Murder, Memory, and a Twist of Time Travel
Imagine discovering that the key to solving your father’s murder… is you. That’s the premise of “Flashback”, a crime series with a clever sci-fi twist. When forensic scientist Elsa (Constance Gay) suddenly finds herself transported back to 1994—months before her father’s mysterious death—she joins the very police unit he worked for. The catch? She can’t tell anyone who she really is, especially not her dad (played by Michaël Youn).
It’s part crime procedural, part time-travel thriller, with plenty of retro throwbacks (hello, Minitel and phone booths). Perfect for fans of Dark or Life on Mars, this one balances nostalgia with suspense—and gives you that rare thrill of watching history unfold in real time.
“The Bondsman” (Prime Video): Kevin Bacon Makes a Deal with the Devil
File this one under: delightfully bizarre. In “The Bondsman”, Kevin Bacon stars as Hub Halloran, a washed-up bounty hunter who dies and is resurrected by the Devil to hunt down escaped hellspawn on Earth. Yes, you read that right.
Think modern western meets supernatural horror with a heavy dash of dark humor. Bacon leans all the way into the grit and absurdity, and if that wasn’t enough, he even contributes to the country-infused soundtrack. For fans of shows like Preacher or Supernatural, this is unapologetically weird, fast-paced, and totally entertaining.
“Dying for Sex” (Disney+): When Liberation Starts with a Diagnosis
Based on a hugely popular podcast, “Dying for Sex” tells the story of Molly (Michelle Williams), a woman diagnosed with terminal cancer who decides to abandon her old life—including her marriage—to finally live. Her chosen path? A bold, raw, and unapologetically candid journey through her sexual awakening.
But this isn’t just about steamy encounters—it’s about freedom, female friendship, and reclaiming agency when time is running out. With its mix of gallows humor, heartfelt moments, and moments that will have you laughing through tears, the show offers a deeply emotional yet empowering take on what it means to live with urgency. One critic called it “as much a celebration as it is a goodbye.”
“Sweetpea” (Canal+/Paramount+): Killer Instinct Meets Cutting Wit
If you’ve ever felt personally attacked by your to-do list, wait until you meet Rhiannon Lewis. In “Sweetpea”, the unassuming protagonist checks off everything from grocery runs to gruesome murders—sometimes all in one day. Played to perfection by Ella Purnell, Rhiannon is the most charming sociopath since Dexter, but with way better eyeliner.
Adapted from C.J. Skuse’s bestselling novel, this dark comedy is like Fleabag with a butcher’s knife: hilarious, stylish, and just the right amount of disturbing. With razor-sharp writing, an aesthetic that’s Instagram-worthy, and a plot that keeps you guessing, it’s a rare gem that manages to be both laugh-out-loud funny and quietly terrifying.
Whether you’re in the mood for hospital chaos, time-bending mysteries, satanic cowboy antics, radical self-discovery, or quirky killers with color-coded notebooks, this week’s streaming lineup has something for every taste. Just don’t forget to cancel your weekend plans—you’ve got some serious binge-watching to do.
