The latest edition of TechRadar’s streaming recommendations roundup has arrived, and it’s another one of those rare weeks where we’ve opted for eight new movies and shows instead of the usual seven.
In fact, with so many great-looking movies and TV series recently arriving (or soon to arrive) on the world’s best streaming services, we really had a hard time narrowing down this list. Instead of abandoning a project that deserves their attention, we thought ‘why don’t we include them all?’. Bottom line: We did it, so read on to see what’s worth watching at home this weekend. — Tom Power, Senior Entertainment Reporter

Before you understand it, read my Ave Maria Project review to find out all the details of its plot and see what I think of it.

There are many (dragons) riding on Dragon House season 3 too. With some fans suggesting that their ancestor wasn’t as good as he could have been, and the behind-the-scenes drama between showrunner Ryan Condal and Thrones Overlord George RR Martin who wouldn’t be out of place in the latter’s high fantasy book franchise, the latest chapter of the HBO Max TV Original really needs to deliver.

How to Make a Kill (HBO Max)
Look
black comedy movie How to make a kill airs on HBO Max this weekend. In the end it was a failure and received a lot of criticism after its initial release in theaters, even in my How to make a kill review, which is where I described it as a “rare misfire” for the A24.
However, if you plan to watch it, How to make a kill It centers on Becket Redfellow (Glen Powell), a man disowned by his wealthy family. Here, we see how he fights to claim his inheritance by eliminating them one by one. — Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer
The Agency season 2 (Paramount+)
Look
Paramount+’s addictive spy thriller is back and reportedly better than ever. For the uninitiated: Michael Fassbender plays Brandon Colby, a spy with the pseudonym “The Martian.”
This time there are many tense interrogations and exciting scenes. Season 2 picks up shortly after the dramatic end of the first and sees ‘Martian’ feeling the pressure after becoming an MI6 double agent. In the midst of all this, he tries to manage his volatile relationship with Samia (Jodie Turner-Smith), who has been imprisoned in Sudan.
So Martian has a lot to do, which is good news for us at home, because it means we’re guaranteed to all be on the edge of our seats. — L.B.

Sugar season 2 (Apple TV)
Look
Effortless cool Sugar returns for season 2 of this Apple Original and I certainly enjoyed my most recent trip to this sunny Los Angeles spot. It’s as stunning as ever with its signature retro vibe and our protagonist John Sugar (Colin Farrell) has also brought more of his personal demons along for the ride.
The life of a private investigator comes with a lot of stress, and Sugar feels it when the trail to locate her missing sister goes cold. So he takes on another case to keep himself busy and agrees to help a boxer whose brother and trainer has also disappeared.
There are plenty more noir references here and enough mystery to keep you interested. It’s another win for Apple TV and a nice love letter to Old Hollywood. — L.B.
