If you're looking for a new show to watch this week, I've got your back. I've scoured the schedules of Netflix, Prime, Max, Hulu, and other streaming platforms to bring you the best and most notable shows streaming this week. I'm most excited to watch Deli Boys; it looks hilarious. And how can you not at least watch the first episode of a show called Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue?
Deli Boys, season 1
Created by Abdullah Saeed, Deli Boys is an outrageous comedy series about a pair of sheltered, pampered Pakistani American brothers whose lives are upended when their father dies, and they learn that baba's real money didn't come from the delis he owned, but from the illegal drugs he dealt. Now the sons must take over the family business, but these goofs are the furthest thing on Earth from drug dealers.

Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue
You gotta respect the title of this new original series from MGM+. The pot-boiling premise: Nine strangers are stranded in a Mexican jungle after their small plane crashes. An aviation disaster is bad, but things get much worse when someone starts killing the survivors off, one by one, forcing them to catch the killer or become the next victim. Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue is the kind of bingeable, twisty murder mystery that streaming was designed for.

Delicious
This Netflix original from Germany tells the story of a wealthy family unraveling during their summer vacation in Provence. After they hit a woman with their car, the family agrees to take her on as their maid. It seems like kindness, but it's anything but: Each member of the family secretly wants something different from this beautiful young woman, leading to consequences that spin out of control and shatter the facade of their perfect lives. This is one of many excellent, not-in-English series on Netflix.

Celtics City
This sports reality series takes viewers inside the locker rooms and boardrooms of the Boston Celtics, the winningest team in NBA history. From its founding back in 1946, through the 1980s Larry Bird years, to the triumphant 2024 season, Celtics City examines the complex forces that shapes the squad into an enduring sports legacy.

When No One Sees Us
Based on the novel by Sergio Sarria, When No One Sees Us is Max's first original Spanish language series. It stars Maribel Verdú (The Flash) as local Spanish police officer Lucía Gutierrez. When a series of disturbing murders take place around Holy Week in Morón de la Frontera (Seville), Gutierrez must work with lieutenant Magaly Castillo from the American military base nearby. More than a thriller and police procedural, When No One Sees Us explores the clash of culture between “deep Spain” and one of the largest U.S. military bases in the world.

Berlin ER
This German-language original medical drama from Apple TV was co-created by emergency room doctor-turned-screenwriter Samuel Jefferson, so expect an unusual level of realism. It stars Haley Louise Jones of Dear Child, one of the best TV shows I've ever seen, so expect some seriously great acting too. Jones plays Dr. Parker, who juggles managing one of the most chaotic emergency rooms on Earth with her imploding personal life. Drama!

Running Point
Kate Hudson stars in this basketball-based comedy series created by the always inventive Mindy Kaling. Hudson plays Isla Gordon, whose family owns storied Los Angeles basketball team the LA Waves. When her brother is forced to step down as president, Isla takes over, setting up a classic culture-clash of a woman entering a massively male-dominated space. Will she win over skeptical players, fans, investors, and her own brothers? I'd bet on "yes," now that sports betting is allowed in the U.S.

House of David
No matter what you think of this "God" person, the Bible contains a lot of great stories, including that of David, who, like Madonna, needs no last name. House of David is a faith-based series that starts with the fall of King Saul and the anointing of his successor, David, a teenage outcast who seems to have no business being king of anything. But David embarks on a personal journey of discovery and eventually (spoiler alert) becomes the greatest king of Israel. God, as they say, works in mysterious ways.

Grosse Pointe Garden Society
Black comedies about rich people committing crimes are generally awesome, and Grosse Pointe Garden Society's creators have a track record in the space: Bill Krebs and Jenna Bans created Good Girls. The suburban "garden society" of the title is made up of a real estate agent, a socialite, a high school teacher, and a single dad, and they share a secret: a body buried under the hydrangeas. They have a pact to never tell a soul, but I have a feeling someone's gonna break that promise.

Shoresey, season 4
I have a confession to make: I'd never heard of Shoresey before today, and I can't believe I haven't been watching this show. Why wasn't I informed? This Canadian sports comedy series is excellent and totally deserves the 100% fresh rating it has on rotten tomatoes. Shoresy follows the adventures of Shoresy, a foul-mouthed, fan-favorite hockey player on the Sudbury Bulldogs in Sudbury, Ontario, known as the dirtiest player in the game. Hockey comedy hasn't been this funny since the original Slap Shot!
