Streaming Wednesday, July 8:

I’m Not Afraid — A 10-year-old Mexican boy discovers another child is being held captive not far from where he lives, leading him to question the morals and motivations of his community. And also their business acumen, because how can a kid do a halfway decent job upholstering a Buick for you if he’s stuck in a hole in the ground? (Netflix)

Nothing to Lose — When her son is struck by a rare form of leukemia, a Belgian single mom will stop at nothing to find a bone marrow donor to save his life. Hey, I know a Mexican kid who isn’t going anywhere! (Netflix)

Salcedo, Leather, and Boogaloo — The Colombian series The First Time may have wrapped up after four seasons, but it lives on with this spinoff series, in which a normally aloof guy lets two dangerous women seduce him into a world of “salsa, secrets and temptation.” I mean, they could probably convince me too, depending on what flavor the salsa is. (Netflix)

Thunder 3 — A popular manga once again gets an anime adaptation, as three middle-schoolers venture into the multiverse to locate the missing sister of one of them. In the best-case scenario, she’s found the One Piece; worst case, she’s sewing merch for the Saja Boys. (Netflix)

Trying — Adoptive parents Nikki and Jason have their hands full in Season 5, now that Princess and Tyler’s biological mother is on the scene to cause all manner of havoc. Honestly, all of this could have been avoided if they had just bought their kids on the dark web like we all wanted back in Season 3. (Apple TV)

Streaming Thursday, July 9:

The Five-Star Weekend — Jennifer Garner plays a celebrity chef who deals with the death of her husband by assembling a support group of friends who represent distinct periods in her life. The big reveal of this eight-episode series is the identity of the fifth and anonymous mystery guest; if I were the other four, I’d be hoping it isn’t a visitor from her days slinging meat pies on Fleet Street. (Peacock)

Little House on the Prairie — This series reboot of the 1970s show has a heck of a balancing act on its hands: hewing more closely to the source material by Laura Ingalls Wilder while displaying a more modern, enlightened sensitivity toward women and Native Americans. Points for ambition, but something tells me we’re still going to see fewer reservations than they had on The Bear. (Netflix)

Ikka — An Indian lawyer experiences a crisis of confidence when he has to defend a client with a troubling connection to his own past. There’s a moral here that American lawyers have long since learned: Only take a case when you have nothing whatsoever invested in the outcome. If you really want to be safe, don’t even learn that sucker’s name. (Netflix)

Joe Bob’s Savage Summer — Joe Bob Briggs gets closer to riding out his obligation to AMC and Shudder with the second of four seasonal specials, this one welcoming scream queen Felissa Rose as a guest. Prediction for one of the two featured flicks: I Spit on Your Contract. (AMC+ and Shudder)

Miguel Ángel Blanco: The 48 Hours That Changed Spain — Revisit the tense two days in 1997 when the Spanish public took to the streets to demand the release of a municipal politician who had been kidnapped by terrorists. He ended up getting killed anyway, but the good news is that the resistance damn near tripled its mailing list. (Netflix)

Shipwrecked: Nightmare at Sea — This documentary about the 2012 sinking of the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia is being described as an “immersive” experience. Keep an eye on the counter at the bottom of the screen so you know when to chug three bottles of Fiji and gargle “Volare.” (Netflix)

Streaming Sunday, July 12:

Love Is Blind U.K.: After the Altar — Contestants from the show’s first two seasons reconvene in a three-episode special that centers on a party thrown for Kieran, whose relationship with Megan is the only success story of Season 2. Statistically, that means your average Brit is still likelier to make things work with a complete stranger than with a prime minister. (Netflix)

Married at First Sight — Season 20 pulls into Seattle to see if 14 of the locals can pair up successfully despite their first date being with the preacher. But as the pantheon of the region goes, that’s a lot more workable than a throuple with Courtney Love and a shotgun. (Peacock)

Streaming Monday, July 13:

Hot Ones: Extra Heat — The YouTube phenomenon takes its act on the road, bringing its winning combination of probing interrogation and oral assault to athletic events, movie premieres and anywhere else vulnerable celebrities might congregate. Hey, I think we’ve found a framework for Pam Bondi’s testimony that every American could support! (Netflix)

Murder 101 — The podcast of the same name becomes a docuseries focused on a Tennessee high-school sociology teacher and his students who try to crack a series of unsolved killings. Not to be outdone, the kids at the science fair have some thoughts about what the Covid vaccine is doing to your prostate. (Prime Video)

Streaming Tuesday, July 14:

Home Run Derby 2026 — Special coverage begins at 7 p.m. EST and the diamond action commences at 8 from Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park, as the MLB’s top sluggers take a big swing at glory. In a late-breaking challenge from the NFL, the Rams’ Alaric Jackson is ready to spend 2026 proving he can match anybody’s record for hitting. (Netflix)

Quarterback — Speaking of the NFL, the four players spotlighted in Season 3 of this sports docuseries include the Bucs’ Baker Mayfield, who finished the 2025 season ranked No. 10 for passing yards. That means he was better at passing than the Bills’ Josh Allen but still significantly worse at it than Ariana Grande. (Netflix)

The Real Wolf of Wall Street — A three-part docuseries profiles the notorious true-life personage who inspired one of Leonardo DiCaprio’s most enduring portrayals. Then again, it probably isn’t really fair to call Hugh Glass notorious, just because he was dumb enough to tell Paddington he’s a bottom. (Paramount+)
