It’s been a long and stressful week, and you need a vacation. Thankfully, it’s Friday, which means you have two days full of rest and relaxation ahead of you. Your favorite streaming services know you need a break and Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, HBO, Showtime, and STARZ are here to make sure you don’t throw away your shot at a great weekend.
Documentaries and mockumentaries are the name of the game this weekend. Being George Clooney, the Kickstarter documentary about what it’s like to be one of the most beloved actors of all time, and the recorded concert Justin Timberlake + the Tennessee Kids are both heading to Netflix. Also new on Netflix is Christopher Guest’s latest critically praised movie, Mascots. In the mood for a new drama? Netflix is bringing the highly rated supernatural Australian crime show Glitch stateside, and this weekend marks the premiere of Prime Video’s legal drama, Goliath. What if you prefer comedy? With new episodes of Fresh Off the Boat and The Middle coming to Hulu, you’re set when it comes to family-friendly comedy. All of this and so much more awaits you this weekend.
Justin Timberlake + The Tennessee Kids *Netflix Original
JT is back, and he’s now on Netflix! This streaming spectacular documents Justin Timberlake + the Tennessee Kids’ last performance of The 20/20 Experience World Tour in Las Vegas. It’s fun, catchy, and perfect if you’re in the mood for a concert but don’t want to leave your couch.

Please Like Me: Season Three
Season Three one of the oddest and most sympathetic Australian comedies around is now on Hulu. Please Like Me follows the twenty-something Josh (Josh Thomas) as he tries to navigate the difficult waters of his life and sexuality. This series contains one of the most caring and accurate depictions of sexual confusion and fluidity on television. Plus it’s hilarious.

In the mood for a good mockumentary? You need to check out the latest comedy from the man who does them best, Christopher Guest. Starring Jane Lynch, Chris O’Dowd, and Ed Begley Jr., Mascots explores the highly competitive world of professional mascots. It’s as ridiculous and funny as it sounds.
