Movies are back. Television is better than ever. And streaming has given us more to watch than any human being could possibly manage which is exactly why we’ve done the work for you. Here is everything on screen right now that deserves your time.
The first quarter of 2026 has already outstripped most years in recent memory. We’ve had a killer sequel, a show that has made ice hockey must-see television, Ryan Murphy’s most talked-about production in years and this weekend the first major reviews for Euphoria Season 3 have landed. The question isn’t whether there’s something worth watching. It’s knowing where to start.

Heated Rivalry
Sports Drama
Hudson Williams · Connor Storrie
The sleeper hit of the year. An ice hockey drama that has dominated early 2026 viewing a sweaty, sexy adaptation of Rachel Reid’s novel series following a Canadian all-star and a Russian bad-boy whose match day feuding evolves into something far more complex. “The central relationship is sweet and believable,” wrote Time Out. “A show that takes its stickhandling seriously both on and off the ice.”

If there’s one theme connecting all of 2026’s best screen offerings, it’s ambition. Every show and film on this list takes risks — with form, with story, with casting. And in every case, those risks pay off. The screen, in all its forms, is delivering exactly what we need it to.
