A show about the next generation of Kung Fu heroes, the World Series of Poker main event, and a new episode of summerâs hottest drama are your weekend picks.
Hello!
There’s no way you’re done with bingeing [Stranger Things](. Let’s be honest, anyone who went to a cookout yesterday hasn’t even started. But once you hit play, you’re not gonna stop till the end, and trust me when I tell you, you’ll need something to ease you through the finale. Since there’s only so much that looking at GIFs of [Steve Harrington’s hair]( can do, we’ve got five perfect picks to help take the edge off the year-long (or more!) wait before we get the [Stranger Things answers]( we crave. All I’m saying is [the ladies of Monterey]( would never leave us like this. Here are our streaming picks for the weekend, courtesy of Senior Features Editor [Krutika Mallikarjuna](.

[Kung Fu Panda: Paws of Destiny introduces a new generation](
Now on Amazon Prime
In this new Kung Fu Panda spin-off, four teens accidentally absorb the chi of ancient Kung Fu warriors called the Four Constellations. They go to Po (voiced by [Jack Black]( in the original movie) and fulfill their dreams of training under the greatest Kung Fu master in all the land. However, their clashing personalities might be harder to control than the ancient Kung Fu warrior spirits living within them. A family- friendly watch that’s guaranteed to make you laugh, it’s the perfect show to unwind with while you recover from [Stranger Things](.
HAIR OF THE DOG, TEETH OF THE ORCA
[There is literally no better hangover cure than a Planet Earth marathon](
Friday on BBC America starting at 7aM, also streaming on Netflix
For those who have been living under a rock, [Planet Earth]( is a groundbreaking series of nature documentaries that explore the planet’s bizarre, beautiful ecosystems. Some series focus on a specific region ([Frozen Planet]( for example, is all about the poles), some on a specific type of natural phenomenon, some on the vast and magnificent animal kingdoms we share the earth with. But the whole series is awe-inspiring, and it’s the perfect weekend binge watch for when you’re trying to get over that hangover. If this gazelle can outrun this lion, than maybe you too can be free of that pounding in your head.
YOU FEELING LUCKY?
[World Series of Poker is going strong all weekend](
Friday at 8/7c, Saturday at 6/5c, and Sunday at 2:30/1:30c on ESPN2
The World Series of Poker is a month- long event, but Fourth of July weekend features a special series of events: the No-Limit Hold’em World Championship. Last year’s winner John Cynn walked away with just shy of $9 million. In case you’re thinking to yourself, “I could do that,” here’s a gentle reminder that the buy-in is $10,000 and the starting stack is $60,000. Better stick to watching on TV and imagining what you’d do with the prize money.
REMEMBER WHEN WE DIDN’T HAVE TO LOOK AT JOHNNY DEPP?
[I dare you to try and turn the channel away from a Harry Potter marathon](
Saturday on USA starting at 10AM
If you’re in the mood to watch the rise of Grindelwald, or just want to return to a simpler time when teens danced sadly in the woods while searching for fragments of an evil wizard’s soul, skip the rentals and cut straight to the all- day Harry Potter marathon on USA. [Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them]( kicks off at 10 a.m., and honestly once you turn it on, you won’t be able to look away.
WHAT WOULD MERYL STREEP DO?
[Big Little Lies is back with a brand new episode](
Sunday on HBO at 9/8c
During a week where there’s absolutely NOTHING new on TV, you might be tempted to make plans on a Sunday night, but I’m here to say, don’t. [Big Little Lies]( care that it’s [Fourth of July]( weekend; it’s back with a brand new episode. Ask yourself, is there really anything more patriotic than watching a bunch of rich white women yell about murder? Absolutely not. We pledge allegiance to finding out if the Monterey Five will be exposed.
