Hugh Jackman, Will Ferrell highlight four options for streaming this weekend

“The Sheep Detectives” starring Hugh Jackman on Amazon Prime Video is surprisingly delightful. The mystery comedy follows a flock of sheep determined to solve the murder of their beloved shepherd, while proving that talking animals are equally as likely as humans to discover the truth. Equal parts quirky and charming, it’s the kind of movie you’ll accidentally start and then happily follow to the very end. — April Borjon

I am not throwing away my shot to recommend “Hamilton,” streaming on Disney+. Created by and starring the effortlessly talented Lin-Manuel Miranda, the filmed Broadway sensation reimagines the story of Alexander Hamilton through hip-hop, R&B and rap performances. My favorite Broadway production of all time, “Hamilton” somehow makes American history feel like the next big thing, even from the depths of a comfy couch. — April Borjon

Here’s one for the fashion-obsessed among us. The new documentary, “Marc by Sofia,” is director Sofia Coppola’s Valentine to popular American fashion designer Marc Jacobs. The filmmaker, known for movies like “Lost in Translation,” chronicles Jacobs’ design process behind his 2024 collection and was mostly shot while preparing for a fashion show. Watch it on HBO Max. — Jennifer Mulson

Will Ferrell

Some of you will watch the new Netflix series, “The Hawk,” for its star, Will Ferrell, who is, admittedly, a pretty funny guy. But I’ll be watching for his co-stars Luke Wilson, Molly Shannon and Fortune Feimster, all equally droll and charming on screen. The 10-part series follows Ferrell as a professional golfer known as “The Hawk,” who hopes to make a comeback after his 2004 championship career, much to the dismay of everyone he knows. — Jennifer Mulson
