For this weekend on Paramount+ (or into next week, for that matter), if you're looking for something new to watch, or maybe a show you've heard a lot of good things about but have never tried, then the selections below might scratch your binge-watching itch.For April 10 to 12, I've flagged a solid police procedural from Beantown that's wicked smaht, a show with a devious lead character you'll love to hate, and a brand-new CBS series that crosses a by-the-book FBI agent with a rule-bending CIA spook.3 Boston Blue A Blue Bloods spinoff worthy of the badge Three types of primetime series have been staples of American television for decades—medical dramas, law dramas, and police procedurals (you could add fire rescue shows in there, too).
One of the longest-running and most beloved of the police variety was CBS's , a show that followed the New York cop family, the Reagan's, and ran for 14 seasons, ending in 2024.With a gap to be filled, CBS saw fit to give us , a spinoff that returned fan favorite Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) to TV, this time relocating to the mean streets of Boston (where Wahlberg is actually from) to be closer with his patrol cop son, Sean (Mika Amonsen), who's been badly injured on the job.There, Reagan teams up with Lena Silver ('s Sonequa Martin-Green), who is also from a prestigious Boston law enforcement family—her mother, Mae (Gloria Roben), is Boston's DA, and her stepsister, Sarah (Maggie Lawson), is a Bost Police Department superintendent.
As per police procedural protocol, Danny and Lena navigate Boston's crime world and take on a wide roster of au-currant crimes, while also exploring the personal side to what it means to be a cop and balance relationships with dedication to the job.is a worthy successor to Blue Bloods, and viewers can expect the occasional cameo from that show's cast, too.Like Boston Blue TV-14 Crime Drama Release Date October 17, 2025 Network CBS Cast See All Donnie Wahlberg Danny Reagan Sonequa Martin-Green Lena Silver Marcus Scribner Ofc.

Attorney who's life quest is to take Axe down.Stuck firmly between the two is Chuck's wife, Wendy (the brilliant Maggie Siff), who also happens to be Axe's confidante and performance psychologist at Axe Capital.is a masterclass in financial and legal cat-and-mouse as Axe, and his loyal, worshiping team led by the quiet-but-deadly Mike "Wags" Wagner (David Costabile), make all sorts of questionable moves for the almighty dollar.
Throughout its seven seasons, evolves and ebbs and flows, bringing in fresh new characters to twist the power dynamics in all sorts of places—chief among them are Taylor Mason (Asia Kate Dillon), a non-binary financial savant who might be smarter than Axe, and Mike Prince ('s Corey Stoll), another challenger to Axe's throne.Billions has an 87% critic's rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and is definitely worth your binge time.Like Billions Drama Release Date 2016 - 2023-00-00 Network Showtime Cast See All Maggie Siff Toby Leonard Moore Frank Harts Malin Akerman Where to watch Close WHERE TO WATCH Streaming RENT BUY Showrunner David Levien Directors David Levien Writers David Levien Seasons 7 Story By david levien Streaming Service(s) AppleTV+, Amazon Prime Video Powered by Expand Collapse 1 CIA An odd-couple CIA-meets-FBI procedural FBI agents are pretty cool (might I direct you to Mulder and Scully?).
