Top shows and movies to stream tonight
‘A Tale of Two Cities’ (MGM+)
Genre: Historical drama limited series
What it’s about: Set in London in 1782, “A Tale of Two Cities” follows Lucie Manette (Mirren Mack), who learns that her father, whom she believed had been dead for 20 years, may be alive after all. But when the messenger delivering the news, Charles Darnay (François Civil), gets arrested, so turns to troubled lawyer Carton (Kit Harington) to free him and get back on track to find her dad against the backdrop of the French Revolution.
Why you should watch it: Early reviews have been positive to middling for the first small-screen adaptation of Charles Dickens’ seminal novel in almost four decades. It has all the hallmarks of a classic Dickens tale: a colorful cast of characters, breathless cliffhangers, and surprising twists along with sharp social commentary.

‘The Lioness’ (Paramount+)
Genre: Spy thriller series
What’s it about? “Lioness” stars Zoe Saldaña as CIA operative Joe McNamara, who oversees the Lioness program, a female-led initiative that sends undercover operatives into the war on terror. Once embedded, these agents get close to the women in their targets’ lives, using those relationships to gain access to their inner circle and ultimately take down high-value threats.
Why you need to watch it: In season 3, Joe’s been battling enemy combatants abroad and betrayals at home. Episode 6 finally introduces this season’s main villain after an eyebrow-raising fifth episode.

‘Lanterns’ (HBO Max)
Genre: Superhero, detective fiction, neo-Western series
What’s it about? Veteran Green Lantern Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and rookie John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) head to rural Nebraska to investigate a murder, only to stumble into a cosmic conspiracy. Their prickly mentor-protégé dynamic brings some buddy-cop friction to the mix as they face off with Sinestro, Guy Gardner, alien worlds and the shape-shifting threat of the Manhunters.
Why you need to watch it: After the last episode took a detour to flesh out John Stewart’s deeply troubling origin story, this episode should finally provide answers for that big Episode 2 cliffhanger. With only two episodes after this to go, you still have time to catch up before the big finale on October 4.
