This weekend brings a slew of new shows and movies to stream on various platforms. If you're looking for something to binge, consider these recommendations.
The BBC historical drama series "King & Conqueror" premieres Saturday, focusing on the events leading up to the invasion of England by William I in 1066. The show boasts an impressive cast but has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike.
For those who enjoy detective work, PBS/Masterpiece is airing new episodes of "Maigret," a series based on the novels by Georges Simenon about Parisian Chief Inspector Jules Maigret. The show stars Benjamin Wainwright as the titular character, investigating crimes in Paris.
On the other hand, fans of crime thrillers should check out Paramount+’s "Tulsa King," starring Sylvester Stallone as a mobster sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he forms his own crew with Samuel L. Jackson. The series is set to release new episodes every Sunday.
If you're in the mood for something lighter, Hulu has a show called "Down Cemetery Road" that's based on Mick Herron's Zoe Boehm novels and follows Sarah Trafford as she investigates a mysterious disappearance in Oxford. The show stars Ruth Wilson and Emma Thompson.
Other notable releases include the historical drama series "Robin Hood," which offers an alternative take on the classic tale, as well as the action-packed "The Running Man" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

! Don't get me wrong, I love a good period piece, but can't they come up with something more original? I mean, how many times are we gonna watch the same old invasion or detective story? Give me some fresh blood, you know? And what's up with all these older shows getting rebooted again? Masterpiece is like 30 years behind. 
At least "Tulsa King" looks decent, Stallone's still got it 
and Samuel L. Jackson's always a wild card. Maybe I'll give that one a try, but the rest of this lineup seems pretty meh to me 
The new episodes of "Maigret" sound like a great watch, especially with Benjamin Wainwright on board as Jules Maigret - he's got that detective vibe going on! 
Also, I've been meaning to check out "Tulsa King" - Sylvester Stallone is always a guarantee for some intense action scenes, right? 
. Like, have you seen the cast list for that BBC historical drama series "King & Conqueror"? It's lit 
! But at the same time, I've heard mixed vibes from critics and fans alike... idk, maybe I'll just have to watch it myself to make up my mind 
.
. On the lighter side, I've been eyeing that new show on Hulu called "Down Cemetery Road"... it looks super mysterious and intriguing 
.
. It's like our streaming services are trying to keep us all busy 
. But seriously, some of these shows look pretty interesting. The "King & Conqueror" series on BBC seems like it could be a great historical drama, especially with that impressive cast 
. And I'm intrigued by the idea of "Tulsa King" - Sylvester Stallone as a mobster? That's not something you see every day 
. On the other hand, some of these shows feel like they're trying to fill a void or something 
. Like, is this really what we need more of - more detective work and crime thrillers? I mean, don't get me wrong, I love a good whodunit as much as the next person 
I'm kinda interested in the King & Conqueror show but haven't heard much about it - how accurate do u think it'll be? 
ooh I just saw the trailer for King & Conqueror and it looks super intense! William I is such a fascinating figure in history, I'm excited to learn more about his reign through this show 
️
been binging on historical dramas lately and this one sounds like a game-changer 
? 
love the classic detective vibes 
I'm also intrigued by "Tulsa King" 
Sylvester Stallone's mobster antics always bring the heat 
and that show looks soooo good! 
add it to my watchlist pronto
