Holiday weekends are often an ideal time to finally take that break and relax with something on your watchlist. So, since Saturday marks America’s semiquincentennial, ring in the big 250 with a film or series of your choosing. (If you need ideas, we’ve put together a collection of must-see patriotic movies, as well as titles that capture the American spirit.)
Want to explore an American story that’s fresh and picturesque? Travel back in time with Little House on the Prairie, a new adaptation of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved book series that’s part family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West. Or hit play on the latest season of Dark Winds, the thriller series that stars Zahn McClarnon and Kiowa Gordon as tribal police officers in the 1970s Navajo Nation.
Also among the movies and shows available to stream this week are Hamnet, 80 for Brady, Memento, The Tick, and Jeff Arcuri: Nice to Meet You. Whether you watch alongside your family and friends, or simply in front of a high-powered fan amid the summer heat, feel free to do so with a slice of cake handy — after all, it is America’s birthday.
