4 hot shows, 1 quiet movie lead the weekend watch list

Is he or is he not a psychopathic killer? Once you start watching “THE BEAST IN ME” on Netflix, you won’t be able to stop. Claire Danes stars as an author whose son died in a drunk driving accident. Matthew Rhys plays a real estate executive who allegedly murdered his wife, but a lack of evidence sets him free. ー Jennifer Mulson

Listening to the Grateful Dead is one way to celebrate the life of Bob Weir. Another is watching “LONG STRANGE TRIP,” which chronicles the band that is now down to one original member. But there they are, Bob and Jerry and all, in this sweeping documentary available on Amazon Prime. You’ll hope it never ends. ー Seth Boster

Ready for a swoon-worthy binge watch? “PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION” dives into the friendship of an eccentric woman and a reserved man, following years of endless vacations that lean into a slow-burning love story. Based on a best-selling novel by Emily Henry, the quick watch is streaming on Netflix. ー April Borjon

Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn) ponders whether humanity is worth saving in “Pluribus.” (Apple/TNS)

The hype is strong around “PLURIBUS,” a post-apocalyptic sci-fi series on Apple TV. A romance novelist who lives in Albuquerque, N.M., is one of only 13 people who remain immune to an alien virus that transformed humanity into a peaceful, cooperative hive mind. She endeavors to individuality to the world. ー Jennifer Mulson

It’s the quiet movies that hit the most. That’s “SORRY, BABY,” about a young woman navigating life after trauma. It’s about more than that ー womanhood, power dynamics, friendship, innocence. But mostly, yes, it’s about the silence and the grief that lives within it, along with the strength to go on. Watch on HBO Max. ー Seth Boster
