There are new shows and films coming out constantly across a variety of platforms. Here are some ideas on what you should watch over the weekend, as this is what I will be watching to relax.

The Office: Superfan Episodes (Peacock)

I know I can’t be the only one who was disappointed when “The Office” was removed from Netflix, but one good thing came out of the switch for the sitcom being moved to Peacock: the Superfan Episodes. The Superfan Episodes are elongated episodes that fans came to love when the series aired. There are extra scenes included that will make you think ‘why did that get cut?’

If you’re a fan of “The Office,” these episodes are definitely worth the watch and will make you feel nostalgic. 

Cat Burglar (Netflix)

“Cat Burglar” is a short interactive film on Netflix. I’ve heard mixed reviews about this but plan to give it a shot over the weekend. It’s a cartoon, TV-14, where you ‘play’ as a cat trying to steal valuable artwork from a museum without being caught. 

The concept of interactive shows and films is interesting and I think it’s a fun activity to do with friends, family or a significant other.
