Well, for better or for worse it’s love month. Whatever you’re feeling about that, I tried to add variety so everyone has something fun to stream. Feel free to check these out or criticize my picks in the comments!
Netflix: His & Hers (2025)
I don’t know about you, but I love a little one season thriller. It gets you invested with immediate payoff, and there’s no need to sit down and binge multiple seasons to get a full story. His & Hers scratched that itch for me immediately. As of my writing this, it’s the number one show on Netflix at the moment and for a good reason. The leading couple is very solid, and the writing is good enough to make the characters seem real. By episode two, I was hooked and ready to binge till the end and even though the conclusion may be a little stupid, it was a fun time and I have no regrets.

Peacock: The Fall Guy (2024)
This one really surprised me when I first saw it. I expected a run-of-the-mill action comedy, but got a very good story with a great cast and a lot of heart. I always forget that Ryan Gosling has incredible comedy chops, but he gets to flex here in a part that was made for him. His chemistry with Emily Blunt is fantastic, and it’s a lot of fun to watch them play off each other throughout the movie’s runtime. An easy recommendation for me to anyone who just wants to put on something fun.

Prime Video: The One I Love (2014)
This movie is so good and never got the fanfare it deserved. Starring the unlikely pairing of Elizabeth Moss and Mark Duplass, The One I Love follows a married couple as they vacation to a rental home recommended by their couples therapist. That is literally all I can tell you without giving the big plot point away, but just know it’s weird and very sinister. An excellent pick for someone looking for something a lot more twisted and cynical around the upcoming holiday.

Hulu: When Harry Met Sally (1989)
One of the all-time greats for a reason, When Harry Met Sally follows the relationship between the titular Harry and Sally over the course of years. By the end, we really understand both characters and get to see them grow and change as people. While both start as pretty selfish and demanding individuals, they learn through heartbreak and screwing up how to be better for each other and themselves. When they finally get together, it feels so right that you can’t help but buy into their romance. This was (shockingly) my first time watching it and while I’m not typically into romance, this one is too good not to watch.

Prime Video: Toradora! (2008)
This is THE enemies to lovers story, and a must for those into that trope. Following a couple of high school friends, Toradora! is a slow, funny and very sweet love story about a feisty short-tempered girl and a quiet even-keel boy. The writing is great, it takes twists you won’t expect, and it all ends in a way that’s adorable and feels earned. With only one season, it’s an easy watch and a great starting place for someone who’s anime curious. Definitely the most lovey-dovey on this list, it’s a great one to watch with your partner.
