A handful of options worth streaming this weekend

All five “Twilight” films are streaming on HBO Max, making it the perfect excuse for your digital return to Forks, Wash. Featuring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, the vampire romance franchise still delivers all the same emotions, even 17 years after its original release. Whether you’re revisiting the saga for nostalgia or introducing someone to it for the first time, one question still remains: Are you team Edward or team Jacob? — April Borjon

“Love Island USA” returns for its eighth season this June, bringing another summer of flirting, fights and chaotic recouplings to Peacock. Hosted by the queen of breakups, and former “Vanderpump Rules” star, Ariana Madix, the reality dating series promises bombshell arrivals and plenty of villa drama, with new episodes airing nightly at 7 p.m. As new relationships end faster than the villa’s sunscreen bottle, this season is already shaping up to be one of the messiest yet. — April Borjon

Celebrities and regular folk alike have loved comedian and actor Martin Short throughout his decades. The new Netflix documentary, “Marty, Life is Short,” takes us through his life, including the loss of his wife to ovarian cancer and the more recent suicide of his daughter. And it reflects on his path as an entertainer, including the great 1980s movie, “Three Amigos,” with his longtime bestie Steve Martin, “Saturday Night Live,” “Father of the Bride” films, also with Martin, and, of course, his recent hit with Martin and Selena Gomez, “Only Murders in the Building.” — Jennifer Mulson

Showtime’s hit documentary series “Couples Therapy” is free therapy-by-proxy for people at home who love to tune in and watch psychoanalyst Dr. Orna Guralnik guide couples through relationship challenges. Filmed in New York City, the show follows three to four couples every season, taping them from behind a one-way mirror throughout their 20-week therapy program. The sessions are edited together, and viewers can watch as they untangle, or don’t, their issues. — Jennifer Mulson

It did not seem like the kind of movie that would be remembered 10 years later: one writer following another writer on his book tour. When “The End of the Tour” came out in 2015, I was skeptical of the funny Jason Segel playing the tragic David Foster Wallace. But here I am 10 years later, rewatching the movie that serves as a poignant tribute to the troubled mind behind “Infinite Jest.” Streaming on Netflix, “The End of the Tour” is based on the memoir by reporter David Lipsky, whose time with Wallace revealed the burdens of genius. — Seth Boster
