What To Watch This Week: Mar 17-23, 2025
The Fall Guy finally arrives (drops?) on streaming!
Gannibal, Season 2 (Disney+, Mar 19)
City detective-turned-smalltown-cop Agawa Daigo (Yagira Yuya) continues probing into the homicidal weirdness of the Goto family, leading to an epic showdown between the authorities and the hillbilly cult of Waco proportions. Remember how that turned out?

Hyper Knife (Disney+, Mar 19)
K-drama follows the stormy relationship between a top neurosurgeon (Kill Boksoon’s Sul Kyung-gu) and his one-time protege (Extraordinary Attorney Woo’s Park Eu-bin) who lost her job after a botched operation and is now making ends meet as a black-market doctor.

The Twister: Caught in the Storm (Netflix, Mar 19)
In May 2011, the town of Joplin, Missouri, incurred the wrath of Mother Nature when it was shredded by a rare EF-5 monster tornado. (An EF5-rated twister has wind speeds of 323 km/h or greater.) This documentary — put together using never-before-seen, adrenaline-indcuing footage filmed by the residents — is told from a group of young people caught in the eye of the storm.

Good American Family (Disney+, Mar 19)
Grey’s Anatomy’s Ellen Pompeo stars as in this limited series inspired by the story of Ukrainian orphan Natalie Grace Barnett, who made headlines after her adoptive parents claimed she was actually an adult with dwarfism posing as a nine-year-old girl. If this sounds familiar, it’s the same premise as two 2009 movies, the Vera Farmiga-starring Orphan, and the Aaron Kwok-led Murderer.

The Residence (Netflix, Mar 20)
Given how the Trump administration loves keeping the world on edge every day, can this White House-set comedy keep up with the real-life shenanigans? Orange is the New Black’s Uzo Aduba stars as an eccentric detective solving a murder at the 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue mansion — where the staff and guests at a state dinner are all suspects. The cast includes Giancarlo Esposito, Randall Park, Bronson Pinchot and — what’s this? — Kylie Minogue?

Odessa (Disney+, Mar 20)
Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink stars in this post-apocalyptic musical which just had its world premiere at the South by Southwest Film & TV Festival. She plays the title character, a lonely farm girl embarking on a journey to recover a family heirloom (a six-string guitar) and save her true love (Mufasa’s Kelvin Harrison Jr). First, she must go through the local dictator (The White Lotus’ Murray Bartlett).
The Fall Guy (Max, Mar 23)
In what world do we live in where this insanely entertaining movie is a flop? Ryan Gosling cranks up the charisma-o-meter as Colt Seavers, a stuntman embroiled in a missing-person case that can potentially derail a sci-fi epic directed by a newbie (and Colt’s ex), played by Emily Blunt. The stunts are stunning, and the actors’ chemistry is off-the-charts smoking. And then there’s Kiss ‘I Was Made For Lovin’ You’ on the soundtrack…
