This Week in Streaming (February 11th)

It Ends With Us (Netflix) Even though the romance between flower store owner Lily Bloom and her gaslighting dreamboat neurosurgeon made for a box-office juggernaut last summer, the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni lawsuit saga it spawned is where the real drama is. I can’t honestly say there’s anything objectively good in the most by-the-numbers and lazy melodrama of the last decade. But watching the thing while trying to discern traces of the on-set conflict is a better time than any of the streamer’s crappy murder shows or most of what it released last year.

Yellowjackets (Paramount+ with Showtime) The Lord of the Flies meets Mean Girls prestige drama is back for a third season this weekend, so now is the perfect time to catch up on all the flashback cannibal craziness. Featuring 90s all-stars Christina Ricci and Juliette Lewis as the all-grown-up versions of the varsity soccer stars stranded in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash, it’s one of the few shows that would rather comment on nostalgia than just revel in it. 

My Bloody Valentine (2009) (Prime) Horror remakes are a landmine, but the late-aughts update of the classic 80s Canadian slasher we recommended last week manages to hold its own. This time, the miner seeking vengeance against those moving on from the explosion that killed his friends is after former WB teen drama bros like Jensen Ackles and Kerr Smith with 80s cult acting legend Tom Atkins trying to crack the case. Though it’s a little lighter on the political commentary than its predecessor, it’s a blast for V-Day viewing–even without the 3D that made it a solid hit upon its original release.
