Looking for something great to watch at home? Streaming subscribers are spoiled for choice between Hulu, Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, Apple TV, Prime Video, Shudder, Paramount+, Peacock, and more. And that's before you even look at the vast libraries of movies and television programs within each streamer!
Don't be overwhelmed or waste an hour scrolling through your services to determine what to watch. We've got your back, whatever your mood. Mashable offers watch guides for all of the above, broken down by genre: comedy, thriller, horror, documentary, and animation, among others. But if you're seeking something brand new (or just new to streaming), we've got you covered there, too.
13. Splitsville
Man, I hated Splitsville. It's that kind of comedy that's clearly written by its male lead, because it focuses on a loser who has no charm and a mess of a life, yet manages to attract impossibly beautiful women. And Splitsville has two of these frustrating heroes, played by co-writers Kyle Marvin and Michael Angelo Covino, who also directs.

The plot focuses on two men who think the secret to a happy marriage with a super hot wife is an open relationship. But shocker, that doesn't go as they'd like. Exhausting, tedious, and unfunny, Splitsville is technically a movie. — Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor
Starring: Dakota Johnson, Adria Arjona, Michael Angelo Covino, and Kyle Marvin
How to watch: Splitsville is now streaming on Hulu.
12. Is it Cake? Valentines
Bakers descend once again to create confections that resemble an array of non-food items, like statues, lips, drums, and more. And hey, because of Valentine's Day, this time it's couples competing. Plus, lots of hearts, and host Mikey Day in a pink suit.
Is it cake? Find out by hitting play. — K.P.
Starring: Mikey Day
How to watch: Is it Cake? Valentines is now streaming on Netflix.
11. Relationship Goals
Kelly Rowland leads Prime Video's new rom-com Relationship Goals, which is casting enough to see me seated. The Destiny's Child icon plays Leah Caldwell, a high-flying producer who's on track to be the first female showrunner at MediaCore studio. That is, until she’s pitted against a male candidate, Jarrett Roy (Cliff "Method Man" Smith). Even worse, they have romantic history together and straight-up despise each other. Even worse, they’re thrown together to produce a show about love and relationships, based on a book Jarrett's reading: Michael Todd's 2020 book Relationship Goals, which happens to be the basis of the film itself. Meta. — Shannon Connellan, UK Editor
Starring: Kelly Rowland, Cliff "Method Man" Smith, Robin Thede, Annie Gonzalez, Dennis Haysbert, and Matt Walsh
How to watch: Relationship Goals is now streaming on Prime Video.
10. Field Generals: History of the Black Quarterback
With Super Bowl LX on the horizon, Peacock has the perfect four-part sports docuseries for you to start this week. Taking a weekly look at the history of Black quarterbacks in American pro football, Field Generals: History of the Black Quarterback delves into the trailblazers of the sport, who revolutionised the game despite the prejudice, discrimination, and even threats they experienced. Over four weeks, the series tracks "firsts" in the sport, like Doug Williams becoming the first Black quarterback to both start in and win a Super Bowl, and how current star quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson look up to these pioneers. Expect interviews with legendary quarterbacks including Williams, James "Shack" Harris, Randall Cunningham, Warren Moon, and many, many more. — S.C.
Starring: James "Shack" Harris, Warren Moon, Doug Williams, Randall Cunningham, Vince Evans, Chuck Ealey, Rodney Peete, Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick, and Lamar Jackson, in addition to Michael Wilbon, Rich McKay, Joe Gibbs, Michael Eric Dyson, Jayne Kennedy, Bomani Jones, Michael Beschloss, and Bob Costas.
How to watch: Field Generals: History of The Black Quarterback is now streaming on Peacock.
9. Even If This Love Disappears Tonight
My heart, it can't take this week's Korean romance addition to Netflix. Based on Japanese author Misaki Ichijo's 2020 YA romance novel, Even If This Love Disappears Tonight follows high school sweethearts Han Seo-yun (Shin Si-a, The Witch: Part 2. The Other One) and Kim Jae-won (Choo Young-woo, Head Over Heels), who fall hard for each other fast. However, Han Seo-yun experiences anterograde amnesia, which means her memories reset each day, and her love story returns to square one. Directed by Kim Hye-young (It's Okay!), this film promises big swelling tears, so if you're due for a cry, pick this one. — S.C.
Starring: Choo Young-woo and Shin Si-a
How to watch: Even If This Love Disappears Tonight is now streaming on Netflix.
8. The Housemaid
Looking for a trashy popcorn movie? Well, The Housemaid should satisfy on that level.
Based on Freida McFadden's novel of the same name, The Housemaid stars Sydney Sweeney as a desperate young woman who is grateful the titular job, and eager to please her mercurial new boss, played by Amanda Seyfried in psycho-biddy mode. While movie audiences turned out in droves for this sexy thriller, I couldn't help but wish its leading ladies were evenly matched in go-for-it gravitas. As I wrote in my review, "In this battle of wild wills, Seyfried is left to shadowbox while Sweeney sleepwalks. Far from fun, The Housemaid is underwhelming as an erotic thriller, a dark comedy, and even a Sydney Sweeney movie." — K.P.
Starring: Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, and Brandon Sklenar
How to watch: The Housemaid is now available for rent or purchase on Prime Video.
7. The 'Burbs
Inspired by the Tom Hanks-fronted 1989 cult classic, The 'Burbs stars Keke Palmer as a wife, mother, and litigator whose maternity leave includes moving to the suburbs, only to discover a possible criminal conspiracy under her nose.
Befriending some nosy neighbors (Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, and What We Do in the Shadows' Mark Proksch), she begins to investigate the local lore around a long missing girl, and what exactly that has to do with the strange Victorian house across the street.
Season one is eight episodes, which are dropping all at once. So, brace for a binge-watch if you can't get enough of wacky shenanigans, wild secrets, and a twisty mystery. — K.P.
Starring: Keke Palmer, Jack Whitehall, Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, Mark Proksch, and Kapil Talwalkar
How to watch: The 'Burbs premieres on Peacock on Feb. 8.
6. Puppy Bowl XXII
As Super Bowl LX looms, and the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots stare down the championship road, there's another litter of extraordinary athletes gearing up for a big game by doing biiiiiiiiig streeeeetches.
The Puppy Bowl returns for its 22nd year, as Team Fluff goes snoot to snoot with Team Ruff, vying for the ultimate forbidden snack, the Lombarky trophy. Importantly, the Puppy Bowl XXII is a special occasion for viewers to potentially adopt one of the adorable players. A total 150 pups from 72 shelters will be featured during the event, all of whom are adoptable, including senior dogs and dogs with special needs. As a rescue dog parent, hard recommend. — S.C.
Starring: Miss Coco, Brûlée, Button, Litchi, RuPaw, Lobster Roll, Carrie Pawshaw, Oscar, Benito, Fudge, Cheesecake, and Chappell Bone
How to watch: Puppy Bowl XXII airs Feb. 8 at 2 p.m. ET on Animal Planet and will stream at the same time on discovery+.
5. Schitt's Creek
Celebrate the comedic genius of the late, great Catherine O'Hara by diving into Schitt's Creek, which finds a new streaming home in HBO Max this week.
O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Dan Levy, and Annie Murphy play the uber-wealthy Rose family, who lose their fortune and must move to the teeny town of Schitt's Creek. What begins as a nightmare for them soon becomes an opportunity to make new friends and put down new roots, resulting in a heartwarming comedy that took home all seven major comedy Emmys in 2020, including sweeping the acting categories. There's so much to love here, from the musical brilliance of "A Little Bit Alexis" to David (Dan Levy) and Patrick's (Noah Reid) love story. But O'Hara earns a special, eternal shout-out for crafting an all-time TV character in Moira Rose. Her looks, her one-liners, her performance in The Crows Have Eyes 3: The Crowening... All impeccable. We love you forever, bébé. — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter
Starring: Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Dan Levy, Annie Murphy, Emily Hampshire, Chris Elliott, Jennifer Robertson, Noah Reid, Tim Rozon, and Dustin Milligan
How to watch: All six seasons of Schitt's Creek hit HBO Max Feb. 7.
4. The Secret Agent
Kleber Mendonça Filho's Oscar–nominated, BAFTA–nominated, Golden Globe–winning political crime thriller The Secret Agent is finally available to watch at home — and you absolutely should. Set mostly in the '70s during Brazil's military dictatorship, the film sees Civil War star Wagner Moura delivering a riveting performance as a man trying to evade persecution in his own country.
"Mendonça Filho's film explores a time of political corruption, violence, and warranted paranoia through a human lens," I wrote in my review. "With Moura's powerful performance framed by a reverent, authentic aesthetic, The Secret Agent is a deeply humanised look at a historical moment of authoritarianism and government corruption. It's a must-see." — S.C.
Starring: Wagner Moura, Carlos Francisco, Tânia Maria, Robério Diógenes, Alice Carvalho, Gabriel Leone, Maria Fernanda Cândido, Hermila Guedes, Isabél Zuaa, and Udo Kier
How to watch: The Secret Agent is now available for rental or purchase on Prime Video.
3. XXV Winter Olympic Games
The Winter Olympics are coming! From all around the globe, athletes at the top of their game will compete for medals and honor for their home nations. The competition begins on Feb. 4, with curling, luge, snowboarding, Alpine skiing, and women's hockey. The opening ceremony is scheduled for Feb. 6. It'll begin at 2 p.m. ET, and the first gold medal event will be men's downhill skiing on Feb. 7.
So, whether you like ice skating, skiing, hockey, curling, or snowboarding, you're sure to find reasons to thrill over 2026's Olympic Games. — K.P.
How to watch: XXV Winter Olympic Games will begin streaming live on Peacock on Feb. 6, and will run until Feb. 22.
2. Super Bowl LX
Super Bowl LX is imminent, with the Seattle Seahawks taking on the New England Patriots on Sunday. Maybe you're here for the championship game (human or puppy-based), maybe you're here for Bad Bunny and Green Day's halftime show, maybe you're here purely for the ads. Whatever the reason, you'll need chips, dip, and Mashable's cheat sheet to sounding like you know what you're talking about with Super Bowl LX. — S.C.
Starring: Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots
How to watch: Super Bowl LX airs live on Peacock on Feb. 8, with coverage beginning at 12 p.m. ET.
Best of Streaming this week: The Muppet Show
This is what we call The Muppet Show! For decades, all kinds of folks have tried to reinvent the Muppets. There's been successes (Jason Segel's The Muppets was brilliant), and flops (the 2015 "sad-com" also called The Muppets). But Jim Henson's The Muppet Show was perfect just the way it was. Thankfully, producer Seth Rogen gets that.
For Disney+, Rogen and company meticulously recreated the sets and the chaotic and cheeky — while family-friendly — vibes of The Muppet Show. So, one moment, you're watching Sabrina Carpenter (who's a perfect guest star for the variety show shenanigans) singing "Manchild" to a rowdy crowd of Muppet bar patrons, while chickens serve as her back-up dancers. The next moment, Miss Piggy is bullying Kermit for more stage time, and it's like no time has passed.
As someone who has seen the highs and lows of Muppet movies and shows, I approached Rogen's relaunch with cautious optimism. And I'm pleased to report he's a perfect producer for the wildest batch of dreamers Hollywood has ever seen. This special had me laughing and cheering, with a terrific finale that blends a rock classic with that Muppet ensemble showmanship, I cried. Here's hoping this is the first of many more Muppet Shows. — K.P.
Starring: Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Seth Rogen, Sabrina Carpenter, and Maya Rudolph
How to watch: The Muppet Show is now streaming on Disney+.
