What to watch on OTT this weekend (July 6-12)

In Trainwreck: The Real Project X, a harmless birthday invitation becomes ground zero for one of the most notorious teen riots in recent history. Set in the quiet Dutch town of Haren, the documentary unpacks how a Facebook event gone accidentally public spiralled into a full-blown disaster that drew thousands of strangers, sparked mass looting, and unleashed riot police onto suburban streets. Watch it for the terrifying proof that sometimes viral fame comes with a very real price tag.

In Too Much, Lena Dunham sends a heartbroken New Yorker (Megan Stalter) to London for a fresh start—both romantic and professional. Here, she falls for a brooding musician played by Will Sharpe (patron saint of sad pretty boys). Inspired by Dunham’s own life, the show is part romcom, part millennial angst, with a parasocial obsession to her ex’s new girlfriend (Emily Ratajkowski!), steamy sex scenes, and the kind of messy feelings you can’t mute. It’s less ensemble than Girls but way more intimate.

What happens when the queen of action TV meets the king of crime noir? Maggie Q stars as LAPD detective Renée Ballard leading a new cold-case division in this latest chapter of Michael Connelly’s beloved Bosch universe—think Nikita meets True Detective with a dash of The Night Shift. There’s also John Carroll Lynch as her right-hand man. Ballard proves that some mysteries are worth losing sleep over.

Imagine chess played across galaxies with civilisations as pieces but where every move takes centuries to unfold. Jared Harris returns as mathematical prophet Hari Seldon, alongside Lou Llobell as his protégé Gaal Dornick, racing to prevent galactic collapse with only mathematical predictions as their guide. This season expands Isaac Asimov’s epic vision into territories even the master storyteller never fully explored, weaving political intrigue through the cosmos with breathtaking visual spectacle. The future of humanity has never looked more uncertain—or more magnificent.

Leave it to Madea to turn a tropical wedding into a hurricane of hilarity and hard-won wisdom. Tyler Perry’s beloved matriarch packs her purse, her attitude, and her unfiltered commentary for a destination ceremony that’s about to get very real very fast. Between family feuds and romantic revelations, Madea serves up her signature blend of tough love and laugh-out-loud moments against a paradise backdrop. Watch it for the comfort food comedy that reminds you why family dysfunction makes for the best stories.

What happens when an arranged marriage gets a four-year intermission? Shahana Goswami and Akshay Ajit Singh star as newlyweds Sridevi and Yash, whose marriage faces an early test when his medical traineeship takes him to Australia, forcing them into a long-distance relationship. Created by Mithila Gupta, this Indo-Australian romance explores whether love can survive hundreds of phone calls, Zoom dates, and the people you become when you’re apart.

When children with extraordinary abilities vanish into a sinister government facility, reality becomes more terrifying than any nightmare. Based on Stephen King’s novel by the same name, this series follows young Luke Ellis and his fellow prisoners as they discover the horrifying purpose behind their captivity in a place designed to weaponise their gifts. The sterile corridors of the Institute mask unspeakable experiments that blur the line between science and torture. Lesson? Trust no one—especially those who promise to keep you safe.

What happens when a young cop’s unwavering loyalty collides with the brutal machinery of state violence? Tovino Thomas stars as CRPF constable Peter Varghese, whose posting to Wayanad during the 2003 Muthanga tribal protest transforms him from dutiful soldier to reluctant witness of systemic oppression. Alongside Suraj Venjaramoodu as his mentor Bashir Ahmed, Thomas delivers a powerhouse performance that strips away the romanticised veneer of uniform and duty to reveal the human cost of political apathy and land disputes.
