In an competitive streaming era, how do you decide what TV shows to watch?

Just in time for settling into your couch this fall, streaming services are rolling out new shows and resurrecting old favorites. 

The hard part about your endless options is deciding what to watch. 

You can start with the biggest winners out of this year’s Emmys — “Succession” and “Ted Lasso” dominated drama and comedy. Or try something less known, like “Abbott Elementary,” an ABC mockumentary sitcom TV series written by Quinta Brunson about the lives of teachers working in a predominantly Black elementary school in Philadelphia. The show won three Emmys for its first season. 

MPR News host Angela Davis talked with the Star Tribune columnist Neal Justin about a competitive streaming world and what shows are worth a weekend binge. 

Are you ready to stream? Here’s a list of popular shows, movies and documentaries the two think are worth your time.

• “Ramy” on Hulu.

• “Reservation Dogs” on Hulu.

• “Let the Right One In” on Showtime.

• “Interview with the Vampire” on AMC+.

• “Halloween Ends” in theaters and on Peacock on October 14.

• “I Love You, You Hate Me” on Peacock.
