Where to Stream:

Unacknowledged

Monday, sleepy Monday… We know that the week can often start in a daze, and a pick-me-up is hard to come by. Fortunately, however, there’s some new stuff on your favorite streaming platforms to help get you out of this Monday funk. In addition to Decider’s What To Watch recommendations for Monday, we’ve got what’s new on streaming tonight.

There’s really no better choice for your night than NBC comedy The Good Place, and its first season just dropped on Netflix. Documentary lovers are also bound to be on cloud nine this evening; Netflix has recent titles like Bad Rap and Unacknowledged, and both tackle massively different topics – music and UFOs. If you’re feeling a little lighter in the loafers, there’s also the moving romantic drama AWOL and gothic fantasy flick Beautiful Creatures for your enjoyment. There’s really no way to go wrong when you’ve got a screen and a dream. Here’s what’s available this evening.
