The joy that these guys bring to the everyday folks they help is infectious — and touching. Keep the tissues close by.

Paquita Salas
Season Premiere Season 2, Friday, June 29
The outrageous Spanish comedy, which became a global sensation during its first season in 2016, comes roaring back with five new episodes. Starring Brays Efe as the titular talent agent who has lost her most famous client and is desperate to add some big stars to her roster, the wacky series parodies some of Spain’s biggest celebs. Don’t worry if you don’t recognize all their names — this kind of humor has broad appeal. Our only gripe: We want more!

The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter
Movie Premiere Friday, July 6
Famous outdoorsman Buck (Josh Brolin) plans to reconnect with his distant son, Jaden (Young Sheldon’s Montana Jordan), on a hunting trip — if Jaden can put down his cell phone, that is. Buck also brings along pal and cameraman Don (Danny McBride, who co-wrote the comedy) to film the outing for a DVD special. So it’s less a father-son bonding experience and more of a shot in the dark.

What’s New

Pee-wee’s Big Adventure
Sunday, July 1
He’s a loner, a rebel and—after this wildly creative 1985 comedy — a bona fide movie star. Pee-wee Herman (Paul Reubens, above) proved he wasn’t just a children’s show icon with this hilariously watchable story about innocent Pee-wee’s bike being stolen. That criminal act sets the bow tie – clad dweeb on a cross-country adventure to get it back. Along the way, he meets an assortment of colorful characters, from kindhearted Dottie (Elizabeth Daily) to unforgettable trucker Large Marge (Alice Nunn). The wacky movie has impressive behind-the-scenes talent too: Tim Burton (who would go on to make Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands) directed, and the late Saturday Night Live star Phil Hartman cowrote the screenplay.

21 Jump Street
Seasons 1–2, Sunday, July 1
You’d better be ready to…jump! To 21 Jump Street, that is. The 1987–91 series, about a group of four young cops who infiltrate high schools and other teen hangouts to take a bite out of crime, helped launch the careers of Johnny Depp, Richard Grieco, Holly Robinson Peete and many others. (Peete even sang that catchy theme song!) Here’s one more good reason to scope out the show’s first two seasons: You can enjoy the police procedural’s procession of then-little-known guest stars — such as Josh Brolin, Blair Underwood, Jason Priestley, Christina Applegate and even Brad Pitt — before they graduated to the big time.

Gran Torino
Sunday, July 1
Widowed Korean War vet Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) feels adrift in a modern world he no longer recognizes. Distant from his own children and frustrated by his Michigan neighborhood’s demographic changes, he has one source of joy: that titular 1972 Ford, which local gang members are eager to steal. Filled with evocative reflections on race, family, aging and more, this 2008 movie, which Eastwood also directed, is poignant and thought-provoking.

Hulu

10×10
Friday, June 29
A riveting thriller from 2018, 10×10 is loaded with twists and turns that you likely won’t see coming. But the edgy film is more solidly anchored by the compelling performances of its two leads, The Alienist’s Luke Evans and Yellowstone’s Kelly Reilly. The tension-filled movie begins with Cathy (Reilly) being violently kidnapped by a terrifying Lewis (Evans) and held captive in a small soundproof room. Why her? And what does he want from her? As the answers begin to unfold, It turns out Cathy and Lewis share a past connection, and nothing is exactly as it seems.

Shutter Island
Tuesday, June 26
There’s a bizarre secret at the heart of Shutter Island, the 2010 noir based on Dennis Lehane’s bestselling book and directed by the legendary Martin Scorsese. Mark Ruffalo and Leonardo DiCaprio are both excellent as they investigate how a patient at a remote psychiatric facility could have disappeared from her room. But that’s only the beginning of the mysteries taking shape on this island.

Edge of Heaven
Seasons 1–2, Saturday, June 30
If you recognize the title as sharing the name of a Wham! song, you’re already on your way to enjoying this quirky dramedy about the owner-operators of a 1980s-themed British bed-and-breakfast. Judy Taylor-Chatterjee (Camille Coduri), a George Michael fanatic, runs the guesthouse with her husband, Tandeep (Nitin Kundra), son Alfie (Blake Harrison) and daughter Ann-Marie (Laura Checkley), who used to be connected to the mob but isn’t anymore. Most of the six episodes center on Alfie’s heartbreak over losing Carly (Justine Cain, above, with Harrison), who leaves him at the altar for another man. Maybe a careless whisper is to blame?

Merlin
Seasons 1–5, Available now
An idealistic young wizard enters the medieval kingdom of Camelot, despite the fact that magic has been banned throughout the land by its cruel ruler, Uther Pendragon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Anthony Head). Forget what you think you know about Merlin (Colin Morgan) because at this point, he’s just a servant who must hide his growing powers while also protecting Arthur, Uther’s son, who’s destined to become history’s greatest king. This family-friendly fantasy packs adventure, mystical beasts and fantastic effects into its clever retelling of the Arthurian legend.
