If you enjoy superhero content, you're going to love our list of new shows to watch this weekend. I've been looking forward to the top-ranked show on this list. It's one of the main reasons to keep your HBO Max subscription. The show is part of the DC Universe, but it should appeal to mass audiences.
While Jack Reacher isn't necessarily a superhero, he certainly has the qualities of a comic book character. The show returns to Prime Video for a fourth season. Other shows on the list include an absurd comedy, a period drama, and a documentary about a legendary soccer player. All five shows will be available to stream in the U.S.
I don't know about you, but I caught soccer fever last month during the World Cup. It's not that I don't like soccer. I never found a team to root for other than the United States national team. I definitely have a better appreciation for it now and will seek out more games outside the World Cup. Documentaries like Mourinho appeal to me because they teach me about some of the game's most famous figures.
From Wrexham to Beckham — see how much you know about the best soccer docs on screen.

José Mourinho is, without question, one of the best soccer managers in the sport's history. You don't get the nickname "The Special One" for being a mediocre coach. Mourinho has league championships in four countries to go along with over 25 major trophies. Not everyone will agree with Mourinho's methods. His personality might turn people off. At the end of the day, it's hard to dispute Mourinho's results.
For those who enjoy book-to-television adaptations, you're in luck this week. Australian screenwriter Liz Doran adapts Miles Franklin's My Brilliant Career into a six-part series for Netflix. Philippa Northeast stars as Sybylla Melvyn, the rebellious young woman from the Australian bush who dreams of becoming a writer.
Sybylla's grandmother, Mrs. Bossier (Anna Chancellor), invites her to move into her estate. Sybylla wants nothing to do with high society and has no intention of finding a husband to keep her independence. Still, she moves there to gain inspiration for her writing. Love can find us in the unlikeliest places, and Sybylla might have found a potential suitor in Harry Beecham (Christopher Chung). My Brilliant Career is like an anti-Jane Austen story, but it still packs some romance.
