Check out the "Perfect Match" finale or the "Orphan Black: Echoes" premiere this weekend.
Documentaries like "Tell Them You Love Me" and "Black Barbie" are newly streaming.
You can also catch up on new episodes of "Hart to Heart" and "My Life Is Murder."
There are a lot of new documentaries to watch if you're looking for a true story to dive into.
Netflix has a few titles to add to your watch list, including "Black Barbie," a doc produced by Shonda Rhimes about the creation of the first Black Barbie doll. Over on Hulu, there's "Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini," about an apparent kidnapping with a twist.
But if you'd rather indulge in something fictional, you can check out the premiere of "Orphan Black: Echoes," a spinoff of the beloved sci-fi series, or the new season of the mystery-dramedy "My Life is Murder."
Here's a complete rundown of all the best movies, shows, and documentaries to stream this weekend, broken down by what kind of entertainment you're looking for.
For an uplifting history lesson, watch "Black Barbie"...
"Black Barbie," produced by Shonda Rhimes and directed by Lagueria Davis, explores how three Black women working at Mattel — Beulah Mae Mitchell, Kitty Black Perkins, and Stacey McBride-Irby — were responsible for the debut of the groundbreaking doll in 1980. The new Barbie ultimately paved the way for the representation of all identities.
Comic-turned-director Page Hurwitz's new doc, which recently premiered at Tribeca before streaming on Netflix, looks back at the history of LGBTQ+ stand-up comedy as a form of resistance. It features comedians including Lily Tomlin, Margaret Cho, and Rosie O'Donnell.
"Tell Them You Love Me" explores the complex and controversial story of Anna Stubblefield, a married white professor of ethics at Rutgers University-Newark, and Derrick Johnson, the nonverbal Black man with cerebral palsy she was convicted of sexually assaulting.
Arguably the most famous cult in American history, it was founded by Jim Jones in the 1950s in Indianapolis and culminated in the horrific Jonestown massacre of 1978, in which the cult leader ordered his followers to drink Kool-Aid laced with cyanine. In total, 918 people died, including more than 300 kids.
The new Hulu documentary features interviews with several survivors of the event, some of whom argue that the tragedy should be seen as a mass murder, not a mass suicide as it's commonly been labeled.
Lucy Lawless stars in this Australian-New Zealand dramedy as private investigator Alexa Crowe, a former detective who solves mysteries and has a bread-baking business in her spare time.
Sci-fi fans should check out "Orphan Black: Echoes."
If you were a fan of the original "Orphan Black," the Canadian sci-fi thriller that starred Tatiana Maslany as several genetically identical human clones, this one is a no-brainer.
But even if you weren't familiar with the earlier series and just like the genre, "Echoes" is worth checking out. It stars Keeley Hawes as an older version of Kira Manning, the daughter of Maslany's character Sarah from the original show, and Krysten Ritter as Lucy, a woman with amnesia who finds herself at the center of her own clone mystery.
