Here's what's new on Netflix, Hulu, BET+, Prime Video and Apple TV+.
What we're watching: The sixth season of "Love Is Blind," a new series about the most iconic names in fashion and a new show from rapper Vince Staples.
Situational awareness: Oscar-nominated films "Oppenheimer" and "The Color Purple (2023)" will stream Friday on Peacock and Max, respectively.
"Love Is Blind" season 6 — Available now on Netflix
Quick takes: This cast brings unique storylines, but they're nowhere near as unhinged as season five's group.
What they're saying: "There were days we did 15 hours' worth of dating in a day. Sometimes it was six hours with the same girl towards the end," Trevor, a 31-year-old project manager, told Axios. "I'd equate two weeks in the pods to, like, a year's worth of dating in terms of how well you actually know that person."

"The New Look" — Available now on Apple TV+
State of play: Ben Mendelsohn and Juliette Binoche star as fashion icons Christian Dior and Coco Chanel in this new series about how the pair and their contemporaries (Pierre Balmain and Cristóbal Balenciaga) survived Nazi occupation in France and changed global fashion.
Creator Todd A. Kessler did more than seven years of research for this project.
What they're saying: "[Projects based on a true story] require a tremendous amount of research because then it creates an authenticity," executive producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura told Axios. "I think the audience smells a rat when you don't do your research."
"The Vince Staples Show" — Available now on Netflix
The intrigue: Now starring in his own sitcom, Long Beach rapper Vince Staples proved his acting chops with appearances in "Abbott Elementary" and "White Men Can't Jump (2023)."
Quick takes: The show feels inspired by Donald Glover's "Atlanta," but it doesn't push the envelope as much as the Emmy-winning series did during its run.
