Ready for a fall getaway? May the movies and shows available to stream this week provide some location inspiration. First, the holiday rom-com Guarding Stars takes place on a Montana ranch, where a no-nonsense bodyguard named Hanna (Leighton Meester) and a famous actor named Jack (Jared Padalecki) pose as a couple to mitigate a security threat. And the limited series The Altruists — starring Julia Garner and Anthony Boyle as former cryptocurrency fixtures Caroline Ellison and Sam Bankman-Fried — transports the action from Hong Kong to the Bahamas.
Meanwhile, the mystery thriller Heartland unfolds in Nashville — the hometown of former country legend Misty Jones (Jessica Chastain), who returns to unravel the truth behind her niece’s disappearance. And the Austrian drama Gentle Monster is set in the German countryside, where Lucy (Léa Seydoux) hopes for a fresh start with her family — that is, until a visit from a Munich police officer reveals her husband’s dark secret.
The latest batch of titles also includes the stand-up special Mike Ward: Modest, the Ruth Bader Ginsburg documentary RBG, and horror movies Obsession, Insidious, and Smile. Plus, prepare for Black Friday with the shopping competition series Win the Mall.
