I don’t know about you, but when Friday hits, the last thing I want to do is scroll for an hour trying to find something to watch. Usually, I give up and rewatch The Office for the 10th time.

Not this weekend. I made you a watch list, meticulously crafted between dopamine crashes, for the entertainment-decision-deficient among us. You’re welcome.

Here are 12 solid picks worth your time, plus a bonus you’ll want to add to your watch list.

🍸 The White Lotus (Max)

Luxury resorts, twisted guests and awkward tension. Start in Hawaii, jet to Italy in Season 2, and buckle up for Season 3 in Thailand. All packed with secrets, scandals and one perfectly timed death.

🏊‍♀️ Nyad (Netflix)

At 64, Diana Nyad swam from Cuba to Florida. No cage. Just grit. If you need motivation this weekend, this is it. Meanwhile, someone younger out there just pulled their back sneezing.

💣 Slow Horses (Apple TV+)

Washed-up British spies solving real crimes? Yes, please. Gary Oldman leads this messy, brilliant MI5 reject crew.

🔥 Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Prime Video)

Spy drama meets situationship. Way better than that Brangelina movie we all lied about liking.

🌊 Black Cake (Hulu)

That’s the battery level where most Americans start to panic and scramble for a charger. Funny thing? The iPhone battery doesn’t even turn red until 20%. So yes, you can calm down, your phone isn’t flatlining. Your screen dimmed itself out of self-care. Pro tip: To keep your battery healthy, charge when it hits around 20% and stop at 90%. This will help reduce wear and slow down premature aging.

🚓 Play stupid games, win stupid prizes: Devon Bart thought he could outsmart the cops. The 25-year-old was wanted for assault, but instead of hiding, he took to TikTok. He allegedly posted photos daring law enforcement to find him. He’s now in jail after sheriff deputies in Tennessee arrested him. Ouch. Next up on TikTok: “How I accidentally sped up a felony charge with a thirst trap.”

🤯 Not tech, but super interesting: Researchers found 22,000-year-old vehicle tracks at White Sands National Park. Yes, you read that right, 22,000 years ago. They believe it’s from a travois — a sled made with long sticks and a basket. That’s huge, since we thought transport tools only dated back to 4,000 BC.

What the photo calorie app Cal AI is raking in annually. And get this: It was built by a high schooler who was rejected by 15 of the 18 colleges he applied to. Zach Yadegari had a 4.0 GPA and a 34 ACT score (top 5%). Zach’s rejection letters aged like yogurt, but his bank account is aging like wine.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Teens on Facebook? Meta’s on it: From the “What took you so long?” department. New teen accounts come with parental controls baked in, no setup fuss. Meta says you’ll get eyes on screen time, friends lists and they can’t message strangers or tweak privacy settings without your say-so. Yea, right. Just like when we didn’t use fake IDs.

That’s how much of his fortune Bill Gates plans to leave each of his kids. But don’t start a GoFundMe just yet. He’s worth $102.2 billion, so they’ll still walk away with over $1 billion each. Imagine hearing “you only get a billion” and feeling robbed.

🎬 Veo 2 just got a director’s cut: Google’s AI video tool now lets you shoot drone-style, erase logos and distractions like magic and even zoom out to create more scene than you filmed. Hollywood, meet Hal 9000. Simply amazing.

🏠 Gotta be smarter than the scammers: A Michigan woman lost $2,500 after falling for a phony Facebook Marketplace listing. It had a tour video, she paid the security deposit, got the keys … and then showed up to a place that wasn’t even for rent. PSA: Do a reverse image search, verify the address on Google Maps and never pay with Zelle, Venmo or gift cards.
