Netflix Just Added One of the Best Shows You've Never Seen

Two years ago, it was the summer of Suits on Netflix, as USA Network’s legal dramedy became incredibly popular on the streamer.

In 2025, it could be the summer of hackers. Netflix just added Mr. Robot, another USA Network original series, which is about as tonally far away from Suits as it can possibly get. It’s also one of the best shows you’ve never seen.

Christian Slater plays the title character of Mr. Robot, but the real star of the series is Rami Malek. Malek also won an Emmy Award for Best Actor in a Drama for his turn as Elliot Alderson in this cyberpunk thriller.

And that’s just the first of many reasons why you should catch Mr. Robot on Netflix in July and beyond.

5 Must-Watch Netflix Shows That Are Perfect to Stream in the Summer

Rami Malek Is Riveting in ‘Mr. Robot’

Elliot isn’t just the main character of Mr. Robot; he’s also constantly breaking the fourth wall as the narrator for the audience. We see what he sees and know what he knows, which isn’t always the full picture of what’s going on. The show makes it clear pretty early on that Elliot isn’t the picture of mental stability, and he’s suffering from several mental illnesses, including extreme paranoia and depression.

Malek embodies those aspects of Elliot in a very believable way while also presenting his character as a credible cybersecurity expert. The only thing that Elliot is really good at is working with computers, and that includes his after-hours activities as a hacker. Elliot will hack anyone, anytime, just to know more about the people around him. It’s his way of connecting and also a window into his inability to follow social norms. He’s a tortured genius, and Mr. Robot is going to give him the chance to change the world.

‘Mr. Robot’ Presents a Very Realistic Look At Hacking

Early in the series, Mr. Robot convinces Elliot to join his hacktivist organization, fsociety, and help him implement a plan that could bring one of the wealthiest corporations in the world to its knees. In Hollywood, hacking is often treated like a magic trick, with actors pretending they know what they’re doing while pressing a lot of keys on a keyboard.

The team behind Mr. Robot took the unusual step of actually researching how hacks are done, hiring consultants who understand that world and presenting the most realistic presentation of hacking to date. The programming language glimpsed on screen may not mean much to people who aren’t programmers, but that added touch of authenticity helps sell the illusion of the hacks Elliot and other fsociety members pull off during the show. Mr. Robot does require the audience to make a few leaps of logic, and that’s a lot easier to do so with one foot in reality.

‘Mr. Robot’ Presents the Creative Vision of One Man From Beginning To End

It would do a disservice to Mr. Robot to spoil any of its surprises, especially for first-time viewers who are about to discover the series. Rather than ruin any of those twists, it’s better to tell you that this show was born out of a feature film script by Sam Esmail, who went on to become the showrunner of Mr. Robot.

Throughout four seasons, Esmail wrote 24 episodes of Mr. Robot and directed 38 of them. Other writers did contribute to the show, but Esmail successfully oversaw the entire 45-episode run and brought the series to a satisfying conclusion. When watching the first season, you may notice that Esmail was clearly inspired by a fan-favorite cult classic film from 1999.

But if we named that movie, it would definitely take away from an important moment for the show. And because this project came to life as a series, Esmail had plenty of time to explore the ramifications of the things Elliot learned along the way.

This was perhaps the darkest show on USA Network in a long time, and it’s not going to be for everybody. Regardless, Mr. Robot has the potential to break out again on Netflix six years after it concluded. If you love binge-watching great TV shows, make this one your next pick.

You Need to Watch These 3 Popular Hulu Movies and TV Shows Now (July 4-6)

A lot of the usual suspects are on Hulu‘s list of popular movies and TV shows this week.

The Bear and General Hospital are near the top, but The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has claimed the No. 1 slot.

Regardless, this week’s selections for the three popular Hulu movies and TV shows that you need to watch are all films.

We can’t apologize for that. When the movies are this good, you’ve got to watch them first.

18 Must-Watch Movies on Hulu Right Now (June 2025)

‘Wrath of Man’ (2021)

Near the beginning of Wrath of Man, Patrick “H” Hill (Jason Statham) doesn’t make a very good impression with his new colleagues at an armored truck company. Hill comes off as very unremarkable and unskilled, which is exactly what he wanted to convey. But when the truck is attacked and his trainer, Bullet (Holt McCallany), is taken hostage, Hill kills all of the robbers single-handedly.

Hill’s co-workers are naturally suspicious of him after that stunt, and for good reason. As they begin looking into Hill’s past, he’s examining their history as well. Hill’s true agenda will be revealed by the end of the film, and that’s when the bullets will really start flying.

Wrath of Man is streaming on Hulu.

‘F*** Marry Kill’ (2024)

The premise of F***, Marry, Kill may give Only Murders in the Building fans a touch of déjà vu. Eva (Lucy Hale) and her single friends are a little too into true crime podcasts, especially since the Swipe Right Killer is targeting young ladies on dating apps who are just like them.

5 Hulu Movies and TV Shows We Can't Wait to Watch This Summer

However, the search for the Swipe Right Killer really hits home for Eva when she realizes that each of her current romantic prospects — Norman (Samer Salem), Mitch (Brendan Morgan) and Kyle (Jedidiah Goodacre) — share a known characteristic of the serial killer. Eva’s attempt to investigate her beaus is going to put her life on the line in some hilarious ways. If one of them really is the Swipe Right Killer, then Eva may not live long enough to solve the mystery.

F*** Marry Kill is streaming on Hulu.

Back to the Future (1985)

Back to the Future may be 40 in 2025, but something about this sci-fi comedy never gets old. Michael J. Fox‘s Marty McFly gets to be the first person to travel back in time from 1985 to 1955. Unfortunately for Marty, his historical expedition wasn’t by choice, and Emmett “Doc” Brown (Christopher Lloyd) — the creator of time travel and the only man who understood how it worked — was murdered right in front of him.

In 1955, a much younger Doc Brown is still alive. But even if Doc can get Marty back to the future, there may not be any place for him in the new timeline. That’s because Marty’s mom, Lorraine Baines (Lea Thompson), didn’t meet his father, George McFly (Crispin Glover), at their fated time. Now, Lorraine is infatuated with Marty instead of George, and time’s running out for Marty to put things right.

Romeo Beckham Says 'Life Is Too Short' Amid Beckham Family Drama

Romeo Beckham is sharing a poignant message about love amid rumored tension within the Beckham family.

Romeo, 22, mourned the death of Portuguese soccer star Diogo Jota via his Instagram Story on Thursday, July 3, resharing a picture of the Liverpool forward and adding four broken heart emojis. (Jota and his brother André Silva died in a car crash in Spain in the early hours of Thursday morning. He was 28.)

In a subsequent post, Romeo ruminated, “Life is too short, love who you love and tell them how much you really do!”

“Life can flash before your eyes at any moment! But the people that truly love you and care for you will always be there…. Don’t hold back from LOVE OR APPRECIATION for ANYTHING OR ANYONE,” he continued.

Beckham Family Drama Through the Years: Feuds, Rumored Affair and More

Romeo’s message follows reports of a rift between the wider Beckham family and his brother, Brooklyn, 26, and Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, 30.

Brooklyn and Nicola didn’t take part in dad David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in early May, and a source told Us Weekly that the couple have “not been in touch” with his parents since.

“There hasn’t been any sort of resolution from either side,” the source told Us, noting that David and wife Victoria Beckham have also not reached out to Brooklyn and Nicola.

A second source told Us in May that there is lingering “bad blood” between Nicola and Victoria, 51, stemming from Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding in April 2022.

“Things never really got smoothed over, and you can tell it still affects everyone,” the insider said. “The tension is still present and it’s hard for Brooklyn at times. Brooklyn’s having a tough time with it. He’s super stubborn and just wants space from his family right now.”

How Family Drama Played a Role in Romeo Beckham’s Split From Kim Turnbull

Neither Brooklyn and Nicola nor David and Victoria have publicly addressed the feud rumors.

On Friday, July 4, David did, however, mention his eldest son in a sweet tribute to wife Victoria to mark their 26th wedding anniversary. “26 years today you said YES to me 🩷 Happy Anniversary and thank you for giving me our beautiful children and building the life that we have together 🩷 I love you Lady Beckham,” David wrote alongside a series of throwback photos of him and Victoria. He tagged Brooklyn, Romeo and their brother Cruz, 20, in the post and used a hashtag for daughter Harper, 13, who is not on Instagram.

Martha Stewart’s Relaxed Loungewear Set Gives Off Rich Mom Vibes — As Does This $40 Lookalike

Even Martha Stewart knows the power and comfort of a good lounge set. The Emmy-winning television personality was recently boating, and she wore a dark khaki-colored tracksuit for the occasion.

Although we may not be heading to a boat anytime soon, a two-piece set is always a smart choice for running errands, travel and beyond. To channel our inner Stewart, we found the Caracilia Two-Piece Sweatsuit, an Amazon lookalike that’s very reasonably priced.

This Kandi Burruss-Approved Amazon Sweatsuit Is Just $53

This expensive-looking sweatsuit consists of a half-zip sweatshirt and wide-leg pants with subtle but elevated vertical pleats to elongate the frame. You’ll feel super comfortable in the soft fabric, all while looking trés chic at school drop-off or coffee shop.

To get Stewart’s look, snag the khaki color. However, there are 13 other options, like black, navy, burgundy, pastel green and sky blue. Stewart paired her tracksuit with sneakers, which is always a safe choice. You could even venture out and try it with loafers or boots.

Real-life shoppers can’t stop buying the Caracilia sweatsuit in multiple colors, and the rave reviews make it clear as to why.

“This two-piece set looks expensive. I’m very impressed with the quality of the fabric and details,” one verified Amazon buyer wrote. “I ordered an XL, which is my usual size, and it fit as a sweatsuit should.”

“I purchased this outfit, hoping that it would be what I wanted, and it truly exceeded my expectations,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “I normally wear a large, but decided to get a medium based on the information in the size guide, and I am glad that I did because the medium fits perfectly. I have bought almost all of the colors.”

The amazing thing about matching two-piece sets is that they look so put-together, and you didn’t even have to think about it. Plus, if it’s Stewart approved, it’s approved in our book.

Get the Caracilia Two-Piece Sweatsuit for $40 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.

If You Have to Watch 1 Movie This 4th of July Weekend, Stream This 1 Now

There’s no shortage of films that glorify America for the Fourth of July. For instance, two of director Roland Emmerich‘s best movies — The Patriot and Independence Day — are fan-favorite July 4th films.

But this year, the Watch With Us team is making an unconventional pick for the one movie you need to stream on July 4th — Alex Garland‘s Civil War.

This 2024 movie isn’t about the American Civil War from the 19th century. Instead, it takes place in a world that isn’t too far removed from our own.

And it’s a cautionary tale about America’s trajectory after decades of internal strife.

‘Civil War’ Is a Disturbing Look at America’s Possible Future

Leave it to an Englishman to decide that California and Texas would team up against a tyrannical federal government in Civil War. Garland is a very astute filmmaker, but that was one political alliance that didn’t seem very plausible. What seems very possible, however, is that the ongoing culture war becomes an actual war that engulfs the nation.

11 New Movies to Watch This Weekend on Netflix, Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime, More

We’ve already had one civil war in our nation’s past, and there are still scars from that conflict that resonate today. What Civil War lacks in recognizably authentic American politics, it makes up for by offering a harsh reminder that there are no real winners in a domestic civil war. And this film serves as a reminder of everything that could be lost if there really were another civil war.

‘Civil War’ Doesn’t Shy Away From the Ugliest Aspects of War

Jesse Plemons has an unnerving cameo in Civil War as a racist militant who is more than willing to hurt people whom he decides aren’t American. It’s hard to see that scene and not think about the recent unrest over ICE roundups that have included American citizens who were arrested regardless of whether they were undocumented immigrants or not.

Kirsten Dunst’s ‘Civil War’ Is a ‘Dystopian Vision of the Future’

Plemons’ character takes that mindset to its horrifying conclusion. What makes him so terrifying is that nothing can be said to dissuade that character from unleashing violence on innocent people. He’s a monster, and Plemons plays him as an ice-cold reflection of the worst aspects of humanity.

Kirsten Dunst Gives a Career-Best Performance

Kirsten Dunst is the heart of Civil War, even though her character, Lee Smith, is a veteran war photojournalist. Lee’s been hardened by previous experiences in war zones, but even she is visibly affected by what she sees unfolding in her own country. Dunst’s face conveys the growing alarm, disgust and the deepening depression of Lee as the movie marches to its inevitable conclusion.

Dunst demonstrates the somewhat softer side of Lee through her willingness to mentor Jessie Collin (Cailee Spaeny), a young journalist who accompanies her and Joel (Wagner Moura) on a long journey to Washington D.C. for an interview with the President that may never happen. Spaeny is also quite good as Jessie, whose transformation is the fun house reflection of Lee’s. As Lee slowly breaks down throughout the film, Jessie becomes more immune to the horrific things happening around them. That leads to some haunting moments you won’t soon forget.

Civil War is streaming on Max.

5 Movies and Shows You Need to Watch in July 2025 — ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ and More

July is already off to a steamy start with heat waves outside and hot movies and TV shows debuting throughout the month.

If you’re looking for something to do while staying within reach of an air conditioner, why not stream a new show or movie?

Luckily, this month’s selection is both eclectic and entertaining.

Check out Watch With Us’ picks for new movies and shows coming to streaming this July, featuring actors like Uma Thurman and Adam Sandler on platforms like Netflix and Hulu.

‘The Old Guard 2’ (Now Streaming)

The eagerly anticipated sequel to the 2020 Charlize Theron action movie was just released on Netflix, and it’s just as explosive as its predecessor. Theron plays Andy, an immortal warrior who uses her unexplained powers to protect the world alongside a team of equally powerful mercenaries.

Uma Thurman and Henry Golding join the cast for the sequel, which sees Andy grappling with her waning power while former Old Guard member Quỳnh (Vân Veronica Ngô) seeks revenge on her former comrades. If you’re a fan of magic, action and found families, this one should definitely be on your watchlist.

‘All the Sharks’ (July 4)

Netflix’s answer to Discovery’s famous Shark Week programming block adds a competitive twist. In All the Sharks, four teams of aquatic experts travel the world to capture images of as many species of shark as possible. The winning team scores a $50,000 prize. With over 500 known species of shark out in the briny blue, the possibilities are endless. If you’re a fan of fins, don’t miss this reality competition series with some serious bite.

(If you’re planning on going to the beach over 4th of July weekend, you probably shouldn’t watch this one until after you get home!)

Watch All the Sharks on Netflix on July 4.

‘Too Much’ (July 10)

Lena Dunham (Girls) has created a new romantic comedy series starring HacksMegan Stalter, and we truly can’t wait to see it. In this 10-episode series, Stalter plays Jessica, a New Yorker whose disastrous breakup leads her to upend her whole life and move to London.

Jessica has a lot of romantic ideas about what a London life should be — mostly informed by romantic comedies like Notting Hill — but the messy new life she finds doesn’t quite live up to her expectations. Neither does Felix (Will Sharpe of The White Lotus), an aloof and cynical musician with whom Jessica forms an unexpected connection. Can love — and British rom-com tropes — win the day?

Watch Too Much on Netflix on July 10.

‘Washington Black’ (July 23)

This Is UsSterling K. Brown stars alongside Ernest Kingsley Jr. in Washington Black, a new historical adventure series based on Esi Edugyan’s bestselling novel of the same name. Spanning two timelines, the story follows Washington “Wash” Black (Kingsley), a young Black man with a gift for science and aeronautics, on a globetrotting adventure in the early 19th century after he escapes from slavery. The novel examined themes of freedom, friendship and identity — and based on the thrilling trailer, the show will be just as powerful.

The rest of the ensemble cast includes Tom Ellis (Lucifer) and Rupert Graves (The War of the Worlds). Washington Black looks likely to be an emotional roller coaster, so bring your tissues.

Watch Washington Black on Hulu on July 23.

‘Happy Gilmore 2’ (July 25)

Start practicing your golf swing, because Happy Gilmore is back! Adam Sandler’s hilarious comedy about an unrefined hockey player who rocks the uptight world of golf is getting a sequel, Happy Gilmore 2. Sandler, Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald and Ben Stiller are all reprising their roles as Happy, Virginia, Shooter and Hal L., respectively.

Bad Bunny joins the cast as Happy’s new caddy, along with a slew of athletes and comedians who will make cameos — Travis Kelce, Eric André and Oliver Hudson are just a few of the confirmed appearances. Sequels can be rough, but we’re hoping Happy Gilmore 2 will deliver the laughs and nostalgia of its predecessor.
