What’s new to stream for April

A Quiet Place

Where to watch it: Amazon Prime

Calling all “Bird Box” fans: “A Quiet Place” should be the next movie on your list. The movie revolves around a family living in a post-apocalyptic world where blind extraterrestrial creatures will kill anything they hear. To survive, the family must remain silent. John Krasinski, who played Jim Halpert in “The Office”, makes his directorial debut in this horror movie where he stars alongside his real-life wife, Emily Blunt. The movie generated award season buzz and scored Blunt a Screen Actors Guild Award.

Mid90s

Where to watch it: Amazon Prime on April 18

Written and directed by Jonah Hill, “mid90s” is an edgy coming-of-age story. It follows the life of a 13-year-old boy navigating troubles of domestic abuse, who looks for acceptance in a group of teen skateboarders. The film captures the ’90s in an incredibly accurate way — you don’t even need the title to know when the movie is set. It’s funny, moving and a bit of a tear-jerker. Star Sunny Suljic was nominated for a Critics’ Choice Movie Award for Best Young Performer.

Game of Thrones, Season 8

Where to watch it: HBO

Whether you watch it yourself or your roommate hasn’t stopped talking about it for months now, you probably know that “Game of Thrones” is coming back for its eighth and final season. Premiering on April 14, the season will be just six episodes long, but will surely be packed with drama and dragons. If you haven’t seen the show and you’re feeling ambitious, you can catch up on the first seven seasons with HBO.

Crazy Rich Asians

Where to watch it: Amazon Prime

If you were one of the people who didn’t see “Crazy Rich Asians” in theatres, then this is a must-watch. Based on the novel by Kevin Kwan, “Crazy Rich Asians” is a feel-good rom-com with stellar performances from Awkwafina and Constance Wu. Rachel Chu (played by Wu) accompanies her boyfriend Nick Young (Henry Goulding) to his best friend’s wedding in Singapore and is completely surprised to see the lifestyle he leads there. The movie was praised for casting Asian-Americans — a group typically underrepresented in media — in all its leading roles.

Ramy, Season 1

Where to watch it: Hulu, April 19

This new Hulu original comedy series tells the story of Ramy Hassan, a first generation Egyptian-American. Ramy lives in New Jersey and attempts to balance life between his traditional Muslim family and his millennial friends. The most significant thing about “Ramy” is that it displays Muslim culture in a way that no other TV show is doing right now. Season one premieres on April 19.

Akeelah and the Bee

However, at Akeelah’s school in South Los Angeles, being smart is not always rewarded by her peers. Even Akeelah’s mother sees the Bee as a waste of time.
