Formorepuzzles,gettheUSATODAYCrosswordapp.It’s finally April, and we’re not fooling
you.
This March felt like an eternity as the
coronavirus pandemic became increas-
ingly dire, sending many people to prac-
tice social distancing at home and
wreaking havoc on the national econo-
my. In trying times, many of us have
been reminded of the joys of TV and
movies, which provide an escape while
staying at home.
A new month always brings new
shows and films to streaming services,
including Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and
Disney Plus. We sorted through the doz-
ens of newly available titles and picked
10 of the best ready for binge-watching.
April streaming has something for ev-
eryone, from a less-than-professional
baking competition to a cult sitcom to a
show about the world’s best known spy.
If quarantine baking isn’t going
as well as you’d hoped: ‘Nailed It!’
Baking is hugely popular right now,
but for every picture of a perfect sour-
dough loaf or cake on Instagram, there
are macarons that are hard as rocks and
brownies that turn out raw. But don’t
worry, there’s a food series for that. Net-
flix’s empathetic and riotously funny
series celebrates the baking fails from
amateur cooks, and might just make
you feel better about whatever you just
pulled out of the oven.
❚Stream Season 4 on Netflix.
If you are looking to complete
your cinematic education: A
James Bond movie marathon
“No Time to Die,” the 25th James
Bond movie, was one of the first big re-
leases delayed as a result of the pan-
demic, but that just gives you more time
to rewatch the entire series. Helpfully,
all the Bond films through Pierce Bros-
nan’s last go-round (2002’s “Die Anoth-
er Day”) will be available on Amazon in
April, and the first two Craig films are on
HBO Go and HBO Now.
❚Stream the classics on Amazon.
Stream “Casino Royale” and “Quan-
tum of Solace” on HBO Go or HBO
Now. Rent or buy “Skyfall” and “Spec-
tre” on digital platforms.If you love family dramedy: ‘Vida’Starz’s understated half-hour drama
comes to Amazon this month, and it’s a
must-watch if you have missed it be-
cause you don’t have the premium cable
channel. The series follows Mexican-
American sisters Emma (Mishel Prada)
and Lyn (Melissa Barrera) living on the
east side of Los Angeles, who have dif-
ferent personalities.
❚Stream it on Amazon and Starz.If you’ve already watched a lot
of NBC sitcoms: ‘Community’“Parks and Recreation,” “30 Rock,”
“The Good Place” and “Brooklyn Nine-
Nine” are all great, but if you’ve run
through the more popular comedies,
“Community” might be a good one to
binge next. Infamously low rated but
with a cult following, the sitcom about a
diverse study group at a community col-
lege went to weird but (mostly) funny
places over its six tumultuous seasons.
❚Stream it on Netflix.If you miss going
to theaters: ‘Onward’The latest movie from the tear-jerki-
ng Pixar crowd had its theatrical run cut
short, but Disney shifted it early to digi-tal platforms, including its own Disney
Plus. With the voice talents of Tom Hol-
land and Chris Pratt, “Onward” is set in a
fantastical world where two brothers
are on a quest to bring their father back,
if just for one day. The tears are probably
already welling up.
❚Stream it on Disney Plus April 3.If you remember the Academy
Awards were a mere seven weeks
ago: ‘Parasite’Although it seems like a lifetime ago,
it was only Feb. 9 when South Korean
film “Parasite” shocked movie fans by
picking up slew of Oscars, included best
picture. Now the lauded film, about a
poor family that manipulates its way
into the lives (and pocketbooks) of a
rich one, is available to stream. If you
missed it in theaters (or even if you have
already seen it), the film is worth watch-
ing, a gut-wrenching deconstruction of
class and wealth inequality from the
brilliant mind of Bong Joon-ho, director
of films like “Okja” and “Snowpiercer.”
❚Stream it April 8 on Hulu.If you want some absurdity in
your humor: ‘What We Do in
the Shadows’The nuttiness of the vampires in FX’s
hilarious series never gets old. Based on
the film from “JoJo Rabbit” director Tai-
ka Waititi and “Flight of the Conchords”
star Jemaine Clement, “Shadows” fol-
lows a group of hapless vampires inStaten Island, New York, stuck in the
gothic past while trolling for virgins to
eat. A second season begins on the cable
network April 15, and streams on Hulu
the next day, so now is the time to catch
up.
❚Stream it on Hulu. Season 2 pre-
mieres on Hulu April 16.If you want to watch something
with your dad: ‘Bosch’Amazon has a great selection of
shows that seem tailor-made for dads
everywhere, and this cop-with-his-
own-moral-code drama is chief among
them. Starring Titus Welliver as the
eponymous LAPD detective, based on
Michael Connelly’s novels, “Bosch” has
plenty of hard glares and moral gray
areas to satisfy yearnings for a cop dra-
ma that’s not overly simplistic.
❚Stream Season 6 on Amazon April
17.If you want a true crime story
that’s stranger than fiction:
‘Hustlers’Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu
lead this critically-beloved 2019 film,
which might make you feel like you’re at
a party even if you can’t leave your
house. The glitzy film is based on the
true story of New York exotic dancers
who drugged and robbed their rich cus-
tomers.
❚Stream it on Showtime Anytime
April 25.If you want a sweet teen
comedy: ‘Never Have I Ever’Mindy Kaling’s latest series is based
partly on her experiences as an Indian-
American teen, and her trademark
brand of loud, unfiltered humor is ap-
parent even for a younger age group.
(Kaling produces but doesn’t appear in
the series.) Narrated by, of all people,
tennis legend John McEnroe, the series
follows a struggling teen (played by
sparkling newcomer Maitreyi Rama-
krishnan) with aspirations of getting a
boyfriend and becoming popular.
