It’s the freakin’ weekend baby, we’re about to have us some fun! Welcome to another edition of Decider Streamline, our weekly video guide to the best new things to watch this weekend. Give us 90 seconds and we’ll give you and yours five great choices of things to stream. This weekend’s recommendations cover the gamut of viewing options, from a docu-series about bull riding to a docu-series about drinking wine. (There are some other recommendations that can’t be classified as docu-series, we promise.) Ready, set, play!

Want more information on what you just watched? You’re in luck. Here’s some additional info for you.

  • Fearless: They say that bull-riding is the seven most exciting seconds in all of sports. Who are we to disagree? This new docu-series from Netflix follows a group of professional bull riders in their quest to reach the top of their sport.
    [Watch it on Netflix]
  • Brooklyn: This charming film about Irish immigrants struggling to make it in post-WWII era Brooklyn earned three 2016 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actress (for star Saoirse Ronan).
    [Watch it on HBO Go or HBO Now]
  • The Wine Show: “Even though you might think the show’s primary appeal would be watching two handsome British actors (The Americans star Matthew Rhys and Match Point star Matthew Goode) sipping wine, it’s actually a brilliant docu-series about wine. In fact, it’s kind of the most perfect show about wine I’ve ever seen.” That high praise comes from Decider’s own Meghan O’Keefe, so what are you waiting for?
    [Watch it on Hulu]
  • The Gift: Be wary, this Gift is not The Gift that stars Katie Holmes’ boobs. This The Gift is a creepy little thriller written and directed by Joel Edgerton, one that will make you go back and give some serious thought to the people back in high school that you probably should have been nicer to.
    [Watch it on Showtime]
  • I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead: What do you do with your life when you’re heir to the Benihana fortune? That was what Steve Aoki, son of Rocky Aoki, had to determine for himself. His answer? You go out and become a world famous DJ, that’s what!
