So while you apply that aloe vera and hunt for your missing flip flop, check out all the new shows and movies you can stream on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and HBO this weekend!
On Netflix, switch out basking in the sun for basking in the greatness that is Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady. Streep plays the “Iron Lady” herself, Margaret Thatcher, who was the first-ever female Prime Minister in the United Kingdom. Famous for her strong opinions and impressive leadership skills, Thatcher was the perfect character for Meryl The Great to take on.
After the seriousness and drama of the British biopic, you may need something a little cheerier. Hulu’s got you covered with Season 13 of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia! Catch up with The Gang and their crazy shenanigans by bingeing the entire season at your leisure. And ever since Rob McElhenney (Mac) started a Twitter war with Steve Carell over the Dunder-Mifflin-turned-bar film lot, we have been jonesing for an It’s Always Sunny/The Office crossover! Pretty, pretty please?!?

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Season 13

Charlie (Charlie Day) wants have a child with The Waitress, Dee (Kaitlin Olson) gets really involved with the feminist movement, Frank (Danny DeVito) desperately works to experience a Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl win–aka ‘the greatest moment in Philadelphia sports history’– and Mac (Rob McElhenney) spends the season contemplating his sexuality. If you aren’t hooked yet, check out why fellow Decider-er Kayla Cobb thinks that It’s Always Sunny is the best FX show in the past 25 years.

The Iron Lady
Time has taught us to never underestimate Meryl Streep, but it only makes sense that she does her best performances when playing strong women. In The Iron lady, Streep embodies the infamous Margaret Thatcher who was the first-ever female Prime Minister in the United Kingdom as well as the longest-serving Prime Minister in the 20th century. The biographical drama tells the tale of a struggling woman who fought her way into the male-dominated House of Commons and finally to the Prime Minister’s position, subsequently obliterating gender and socioeconomic barriers in the process. Streep’s portrayal of the famously-controversial and imposing figure is considered one of the best performances of her career and won her her third Academy Award for Best Actress as a result.
