00:00Here's your breakdown of what to watch this weekend in THR's now screening.
00:03First, here are THR's chief TV critic Daniel Feinberg's picks of what you should check out.
00:08A sports-starved audience is already hungry for Jason Hare's 10-part The Last Dance,
00:13premiering Sunday on ESPN, a chronicle of the 1997-98 NBA season,
00:19with Michael Jordan and the Bulls going for their second three-peat in eight years.
00:23The Last Dance is packed with gravity-defying basketball highlights
00:26and interviews with almost all of the key players,
00:29as well as tangential luminaries like Barack Obama and Carmen Electra,
00:33who have probably never been paired together in the same sentence.
00:36Audiences may have already started devouring Netflix's Outer Banks, which launched on Wednesday.
00:42This blending of The Goonies, The O.C., and probably 50 other familiar titles from the 80s
00:47is pretty dumb, and the cast is mostly just pretty, but if it's stupid, at least it's escapist.
00:53Wuggity-wuggity-wuggity!
00:56You kids don't think you're the only ones after the royal merch, you know, do you?
01:01For a slightly better teen series with its own treasure-hunting twist,
01:05check out Netflix's On My Block, which has already aired three seasons.
01:09Thanks, Daniel.
01:10Other shows now available to stream this weekend include the family comedy Black AF on Netflix,
01:14starring Kenya Barris and Rashida Jones, inspired by Barris' real life.
01:19This would be a great place to play Count the Black People.
01:22That'll be a very short game.
01:23Incredibly short.
01:24And if you devoured Love is Blind, Netflix has a new reality dating show for you to binge,
01:29Too Hot to Handle.
01:30Like Love is Blind, this series also encourages contestants to make deeper emotional connections,
01:35but with a different wild twist.
01:37There are conditions to your stay here.
01:39Bloody hell!
01:40No kissing or sex of any kind.
01:42Plus, the One World Together at Home special featuring a star-studded lineup that includes
01:49Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, and many, many more will air across NBC, ABC, and
01:55CBS, plus several streamers and cable networks on Saturday night.
01:59Funds raised will go toward resources for frontline healthcare workers and people in need
02:03during the coronavirus pandemic.
02:04Until next week's Now Screening, I'm Tiffany Taylor for The Hollywood Reporter News.
