“The Five Star Weekend” on Peacock is a charcuterie board of delicacies that has me so stoked I’m telling you about it a week early, before it premieres on July 16. First, it’s based on a 2023 Elin Hilderbrand novel, one of my favorite beach read authors. Second, it stars Jennifer Garner, Chloë Sevigny and Timothy Olyphant, a few people I love watching on screen. The story revolves around a popular food blogger, portrayed by Garner, who suffers a huge loss and tries to help assuage her grief by inviting friends from all stages of her life to her beach house for the weekend. — Jennifer Mulson

July 4 has passed, but the 250th anniversary of our nation’s independence is a celebration that will continue all year. It’s a year for reflection, too. Enter “The American Experiment.” The five-part docuseries on Netflix is a thorough examination of the country’s founding, including some eye-opening play-by-play of the Revolutionary War and the crafting of the Constitution. But “The American Experiment” does not stay in the past. The title hints at a big question for the present, and top political figures chime in. — Seth Boster

All “Creed” films have recently been added to Netflix. Led by Michael B. Jordan and featuring the beloved “Rocky” franchise starring Sylvester Stallone, the boxing saga delivers just as many punches to the heart as it does to the competition. Watching sweaty men throwing hands for hours wasn’t exactly on my bingo card this week, but I’m somehow fully invested. Consider this your sign to put on some workout clothes you’ll never actually work out in and start streaming. — April Borjon

Pride Month may be over, but coming-out stories don’t end when the calendar flips. “Am I OK?” streaming on HBO stars Dakota Johnson as a woman who comes to terms with being a lesbian later in life, forcing her to reevaluate friendships, dating and the future she thought she wanted. As she navigates the fallout with her best friend and those around her, the film offers a heartfelt reminder that it’s never too late to figure out who you are. — April Borjon
