With cable, Netflix, and internet options, finding the best thing to watch during your downtime is difficult. Instead of flipping through menus all weekend and settling on nothing, turn to What to Watch This Weekend, a series in which we give you our pick for the best new show or movie available.

Netflix landed a star-studded cast for its new Original series Maniac. Emma Stone, Jonah Hill, and Justin Theroux star in the dark comedy from creator Patrick Somerville and director Cary Fukunaga (True Detective… the good season). The show focuses on Annie Landsberg (Stone) and Owen Milgrim (Hill), two strangers who meet at a bizarre pharmaceutical trial for a series of drugs designed to improve anything wrong with the mind. No complications. No side-effects. What could possibly go wrong? The series hits Netflix today. Link

Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
