‘Malcolm in the Middle’ reboot, Red Hot Chili Peppers doc and three more options for streaming this week
“Malcolm in the Middle” fans, your adorable little guy Malcom (Frankie Muniz) is back, and he’s all grown up in the new reboot “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair.” Four half-hour episodes will air on Disney+ starting Friday. Malcolm’s now a father to a daughter, and when his parents, Hal (Bryan Cranston) and Lois (Jane Kaczmarek), approach their 40th anniversary, he returns home with his family to help celebrate. — Jennifer Mulson
A new documentary chronicling the rowdy, formative years of the Red Hot Chili Peppers includes an AI-generated imitation of a late band founder’s voice. That feels like the only phony aspect of “The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel.” The Netflix doc otherwise keeps it very real, warts and all, en route to a heartfelt tribute to Hillel Slovak. — Seth Boster
Comedian and “Hangover” star Zach Galifianakis is garden-curious. His new Netflix show, “This is a Gardening Show,” debuts on April 22 with six 15-20-minute episodes. Hopefully, he’ll ask all the questions we newbie gardeners have wanted answers to since trying and killing carrots and potatoes. We hear the affable comic learns how to properly plant a seed. — Jennifer Mulson
You want drama? You want history? You want emotion? You want a backdrop of gorgeous scenery? You can find it all at the Masters. This isn’t an ordinary golf tournament. It’s vibrant azaleas, towering pines and flowering dogwoods set to a melody of lyrics by David Loggins. It’s a history that dates to 1934. And the drama comes on the back nine Sunday. Streaming Thursday through Sunday on Amazon Prime, Paramount+ and ESPN+. — Nathan Van Dyne
Sometimes superheroes aren’t always the good guys, and “The Boys” returns with that idea front and center for its fifth season on Amazon Prime Video. The series follows a group determined to take down corrupt, power-hungry “heroes” who abuse their fame and influence, exposing a darker side of celebrity control and the impact of power. If you’re in the mood for something gritty with no filter, this one delivers. — April Borjon
