"The GOAT" — Available now on Prime Video

The intrigue: Fourteen reality stars from franchises including "Real Housewives," "The Bachelor," "Love Is Blind," "RuPaul's Drag Race" and "Survivor" compete for $200K.

My thought bubble: Daniel Tosh is a riot as host of this show that has too many characters to take itself too seriously.

State of play: This docuseries chronicles the history of "Black Twitter" and the major players and events that shaped its impact on culture and politics.
