Based on – you guessed it! – a true story, this darkly comedic thriller follows a realtor, a former tennis star and a plumber as they attempt to capitalize on America’s obsession with true crime after a grisly LA murder. Chris Messina, Tom Bateman andStranger Thingsalumnus Natalia Dyer also star.

Review verdicts forBased on a True Storyhave ranged from “wickedly twisting” to “forgettable”, so we’d suggest giving the show a try for yourself if you’re into murder mystery satires.

Flamin' Hot (Hulu, Disney Plus)

Premiering simultaneously on Hulu in the US andDisney Plusworldwide this weekend isFlamin' Hot, directed by veteran TV actress and producer (ofJohn Wick, among others) Eva Longoria.

This true-snack drama tells the story of Richard Montañez (Jesse Garcia), a janitor at a Frito-Lay factory who dreams up a wild new snack concept: Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. But is 1990s America ready for spicy chips? If you walk into a convenience store right now, you’ll know the answer.

Critics have calledFlamin' Hot“a charming and funny rags-to-riches story,” though it’s worth noting that the accuracy of Montañez’s tale has been hotly (sorry) disputed.

Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus worldwide.

The Lake season 2 (Prime Video)

Prime Video’s under-the-radar comedy seriesThe Lakereturns for a second outing on the streamer this weekend.

Once again led by10 Things I Hate About Youstar Julia Stiles, this follow-up season picks up directly after the events of the show’s season 1 finale, which saw (spoilers!) the family boathouse catch fire, Justin and Riley come to blows and Maisy-May’s mother return to town.
