This week, the best shows to stream include Furious, Heartstopper: Ending on a Hi, and Snoopy Presents. Our guide highlights the top picks for your viewing pleasure, with gripping dramas and wholesome fun. Whether you're a fan of intense thrillers or heartwarming animations, there's something for everyone in this week's lineup.
Top Pick: Furious
Furious is a gripping detective thriller from Elizabeth Meriwether, known for New Girl and Dying for Sex. On the surface, it follows a serial killer committing inventive murders with a flawed, gifted FBI agent on their trail. However, both lead characters are women with traumatic pasts involving domestic violence, subverting genre expectations and blurring sympathies. Lola Petticrew’s killer channels the manipulative deadpan brutality of Villanelle from Killing Eve, while Emmy Rossum’s Agent Alice Black is a raw nerve of self-destruction. Their collision course makes for a tense, unpredictable ride. Stream on Disney+ from Monday 27 July.

Also Streaming: Snoopy Presents: There’s No Place Like Home
This special episode focuses on Charlie Brown’s beagle Snoopy, a largely non-verbal character whose wildly imaginative inner life challenges animators—and they deliver. A yard sale accidentally sells Snoopy’s beloved kennel, leading to anguish and bungled attempts by Charlie Brown to retrieve it. The original kennel is found, but retrieving it requires an unimaginable sacrifice. Wholesome and borderline saccharine, it’s smart and funny enough to earn its sweetness. Stream on Apple TV from Friday 31 July.
Heartstopper: Ending on a Hi
As the film Heartstopper Forever closes the book on one of the most beguiling screen romances of recent years, the spin-off show feels more than worthwhile. Heartstopper’s depiction of young LGBTQ+ life has been brave and mold-breaking, giving characters autonomy and closure. This companion piece includes fan input and interviews with creator Alice Oseman and the show’s cast, assessing the series’ impact on viewers and wider culture. It’s a heartfelt retrospective for fans.
