Here's what's new on Netflix, Hulu, Paramount+, Apple TV+, Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max and Peacock.
What we're watching: A new take on "Frankenstein," a lavish legal drama starring Kim Kardashian and a Tracy Morgan-led spinoff.
"Frankenstein" available Friday on Netflix
Zoom in: Oscar-winner Guillermo del Toro directs this adaptation of Mary Shelley's gothic novel starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz.
"All's Fair" available now on Hulu
The intrigue: Ryan Murphy's new legal drama boasts a star-studded cast headlined by Kardashian, Glenn Close, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Sarah Paulson and Teyana Taylor.
💭 My thought bubble: The reviews have not been kind, but Paulson's comically evil character and the show's wardrobe are the silver lining.
"Crutch" available now on Paramount+
State of play: Morgan stars as the titular role of Francois Crutchfield, cousin of Calvin (played by Cedric the Entertainer), set in the universe of CBS' "The Neighborhood."
What's inside: The series follows a Harlem widower whose world is shaken when his adult children and grandkids suddenly move back home.
