15 shows we’re loving right now

I hope you have plenty of room in your recycling bin, because this Tuesday and Wednesday are Amazon Prime Day, the perfect excuse to stock up on cardboard boxes. We have a list of the [best early Prime Day deals]( but if you’d rather be a little more eco-friendly, Prime Video is offering a lot of [great bargains on streaming services]( including Paramount+ for half off and Starz for less than a buck per month. Here’s what to watch this weekend. -Tim   Your Watch This Now! newsletter is created by Senior Recommendations and Reviews Editor Tim Surette and more show-obsessed editors at TV Guide!   FRIDAY ON NETFLIX [Bird Box flocks to Barcelona, but is the new movie a prequel or a sequel?]( The 2018 Netflix film Bird Box was the streamer’s first smash hit movie and is still [Netflix’s fourth-biggest film]( in its first three months of release. Naturally, Netflix’s response was, “Can we do this movie again?” So it did, and the result is Bird Box Barcelona, which looks at the events of the first film — in which the mere sight of mysterious creatures compelled humans to take their own lives and left survivors blindfolding themselves in a post-apocalyptic world — from the perspective of one of Europe’s most picturesque cities. It’s not a prequel, it’s not a sequel, it’s more of the same in a different part of the world. But how will it differentiate itself from the original? [Here’s everything we know about Bird Box Barcelona](. SEASON 2 PREMIERES FRIDAY ON APPLE TV+ [Can Foundation find steady sci-fi ground in Season 2?]( [One of Apple TV+’s biggest gambles is the big-budget science-fiction series Foundation, based on the popular books by Isaac Asimov. I enjoyed Season 1 more than most — though, to be fair, I wasn’t familiar with the source material, so I couldn’t do any comparisons — but the biggest complaint was that it was uneven and had difficulty bringing Asimov’s colossal ideas to television. But the performances are great, particularly from an inspired Lee Pace as the royal villain Brother Day and the always reliable Jared Harris as Hari Seldon. The ambitious premise is too big to explain in a single blurb — basically, some exiles are trying to rebuild society after the collapse of a long-ruling empire — but here’s hoping Season 2 finds its way.]( SEASON 2 PREMIERES FRIDAY ON PRIME VIDEO [The Summer I Turned Pretty has TV’s best love triangle]( [I’m lucky enough to find ONE PERSON over the course of my entire life who can bear my presence, but teens on television somehow have a revolving door of lovesick suitors to choose from. Belly (Lola Tung), the main character of the Prime Video YA romance series The Summer I Turned Pretty, is at the center of a whopper of a love triangle, as her annual summer retreat brings her within kissing distance of two brothers who want to lock lips with her. Each episode brings the usual push and pull and collisions between them all, and it breezes by like an addictive beach read. This is your teen daughter’s favorite show right now.]( WHAT WE’RE WATCHING [15 shows we’re loving right now]( We can sit here behind our keyboards and tell you what’s on television all day, but what about what we’re actually watching?
