Want to stay in and watch a show? Me too. I used to get excited to dress up and stay out late, but I won’t lie to you: Those days are over. Instead, streaming what’s new is now my idea of a good time. Heck, I even mark release dates in my calendar. What can I say? I love being a homebody.

With all of the streaming services now, it can be hard to keep up with what to watch and where to watch it. But, this month, the lineups are so good that you will want to ensure you have access to all of the platforms—or at least your friend’s passwords. These shows and movies are about to be the topic of conversation in The Everygirl’s #watercooler Slack channel, and I’ll be damned if I miss out on that.

Cancel your plans and get comfortable because it’s time to hit “Play.” Without further ado, here are some of the most anticipated shows and movies that are new on streaming this month.

On Call

Crime-drama lovers—it’s your time to shine! On Call is an adrenalized and visceral police drama that follows a rookie and veteran officer duo as they go on patrol in Long Beach, California. Shot with a mixture of hand-held cameras, bodycam and dash-cam footage to create a cinema verité effect, the innovative series explores the morality of protecting and serving a community.

Peacock

Lockerbie: A Search for Truth

If you’re in the mood to get way too emotionally involved in a story (guilty), this one’s for you. Inspired by the true-life story, on December 21, 1988, 259 passengers and crew were killed when Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie, with a further 11 residents losing their lives as the plane came down over the quiet Scottish town. In the wake of the disaster and his daughter’s death, Dr. Jim Swire is nominated spokesperson for the UK victims’ families, who have united to demand truth and justice. Traveling across continents and political divides, Jim embarks on a relentless journey that not only jeopardizes his stability, family, and life but completely overturns his trust in the justice system.

Hulu

Paradise

I’m calling it now—this series is going to be one talked about for years to come. The story follows a serene community inhabited by some of the world’s most prominent figures, but tranquility explodes when a shocking murder occurs and a high-stakes investigation unfolds—Oh, and did I mention that James Marsden is playing the President? Yeah. That too.
