We’re firmly into 2017, which means if you’re anything like me, you’ve already broken most of your New Year’s resolutions. Life is looking tough, and we still have the rest of the year to get through. But do you know what you have in your corner that won’t let you down? Television. We all still have TV and movies to comfort us. Whether your streaming service of choice is Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, HBO, Showtime, or STARZ, you’re covered when it comes to entertainment.
This weekend is all about Hulu. The streaming service has added new episodes of both Scandal and Homeland to its library, which is great news for any drama-obsessed cord cutters. Michael Moore’s new documentary, Where to Invade Next?, is also heading to Hulu. If you’re behind on Bates Motel, never fear. Season 4 of the creepy drama is heading to Netflix. In the mood for some classic cartoons? He-Man Masters of the Universe and She-Ra are now on Netflix. All this and so much more await you this weekend.

Bates Motel: Season 4
This prequel series to Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic Psycho follows the Bates’ before one son got a little too stabby. The show has been praised for its equally campy and horrific tone as well as its performances, but Season 4 was especially praised. This was the season Freddie Highmore was able to escape Vera Farmiga’s imposing shadow, both as an actor and a character. It’s worth checking out.
