It’s Thanksgiving weekend! These next few days the only thing America wants to do is veg out, eat leftovers, and binge watch some amazing television. What a great thing to do, right? This year, we’re thankful for all of our favorite streaming service. Because of Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, HBO, Showtime, and STARZ, you won’t even have to leave the couch to be entertained this holiday break.
So what do you need to binge before you fall into a food coma? The biggest addition of the week is Netflix’s new Gilmore Girls continuation. Titled Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, this four-part special follows your favorite mother-daughter duo through one year. Looking for a griping movie? The critically beloved Boyhood is now on Netflix, and this summer’s big budget superhero flick Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice is now on HBO. Prefer something a bit funnier? Both Dave Chapelle’s beloved sketch show Chappelle’s Show and Thomas Middleditch’s indie comedy Joshy are now on Hulu. No matter what you’re craving, you’re covered this weekend.
Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life *Netflix Original
This weekend, you can finally head back to Stars Hollow. Rory (Alexis Bledel) and Lorelai (Lauren Graham) are back in a new Netflix special that is sure to replace any ill will you felt toward the show’s last season. Entitled “Winter,” “Spring,” “Summer,” and “Fall,” this four-part special will let you catch up with your favorite mother daughter duo.

Insecure: Season Finale *HBO Original
Issa Rae is about to leave our lives, which should be something that upsets us all. Insecure follows a fictionalized version of Rae, a career focused but lost-in-love woman who is struggling with life, racism, and her love life. Issa and Molly (Yvonne Orji) will give you friendship goals.
Boyhood (2014)
If you missed this Richard Linklater critical hit when it took over national conversation in 2014, now’s your chance to play pop culture catch up. Starring Ellar Coltrane, Patricia Arquette, and Ethan Hawke, Boyhood follows one child as he grows up over the course of 12 years. It’s a cinematic experience you won’t forget.

I Saw the Light (2015)
In the mood for a biopic? This drama about the beloved singer-songwriter Hank Williams may be what’s missing from your life. Starring Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Olsen, this tale about rising from fame only to be taken down by alcohol is not a new story, but it’s certainly one worth checking out.
