Just because we’re finally in the shortest month of the year doesn’t mean there won’t be plenty of new streaming content to watch.
The first week of February brings plenty of delights on platforms like Netflix, Hulu and Prime Video.
From streaming debuts of new release movies to all-new shows and returning ones, Watch With Us has rounded up the best of the best to check out this week.
First up, we recommend the return of Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer, about a lawyer who takes cases from the back of his car. We also have Splitsville on our list, a divorce comedy starring Dakota Johnson.
‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Season 4 — Netflix
Based on the series of novels by Michael Connelly, The Lincoln Lawyer centers on Manuel Garcia-Rulfo’s Mickey Haller, a defense attorney in Los Angeles who frequently works out of his Lincoln Navigator car instead of in an office. The legal drama series follows Mickey as he takes on all sorts of cases across Los Angeles through his unconventional approach to practicing law, but this new season will see Mickey face his toughest case yet: defending himself.
Count ourselves among the excited for season 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer, an old-school kind of show that uses its formulaic nature to its advantage. Garcia-Rulfo brings swagger and charm to the character of Mickey (previously played by Matthew McConaughey in the 2011 film adaptation), and he has great chemistry with the supporting cast as well. The show is an absorbing and well-executed comfort watch, and one of Netflix’s most underrated dramas.

‘Splitsville’ (2025) — Hulu
Two couples are flung into comic turmoil when the husband of one sleeps with the wife of another in this madcap relationship comedy. When Ashley (Adria Arjona) asks Carey (Kyle Marvin) for a divorce, Carey goes to his other married friends, Julia (Johnson) and Paul (Michael Angelo Covino), for help. They reveal to him that the secret to their success is an open relationship, but everyone is thrown for a loop when Carey goes and sleeps with Julia.
This low-key indie didn’t make huge mainstream buzz but was lauded by critics, who praised the film for its consistent sense of humor despite not being particularly profound in its thesis on relationships. Still, that doesn’t make for a bad comedy so long as the film has laughs, and Splitsville has plenty. With solid performances from the core cast and a delightful throwback feel to classic screwball comedies, Splitsville is a joyride on the descent to marital chaos.
Stream Splitsville on Hulu February 6.
‘Relationship Goals’ (2026) — Prime Video
This new romantic comedy comes to Prime Video just in time for Valentine’s Day. Directed by comedian Linda Mendoza, Relationship Goals follows Leah Caldwell (Kelly Rowland), a TV producer vying to be the first woman to run New York’s most successful morning show. However, a wrench is thrown into her plans when she realizes her ex, Jarett Roy (Cliff “Method Man” Smith), wants the same position. Leah wants to do whatever it takes to get to the top — but finds herself impeded by rekindled chemistry with her ex.
We won’t lie, the premise for Relationship Goals sounds like the absolute perfect premise for a cute rom-com, so you’ll find us seated when the movie starts streaming on February 4. In addition to Method Man and Rowland, the movie also features Dennis Haysbert, Matt Walsh and Robin Thede. Mendoza has a long career of comedy directing, having helmed episodes of 30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Stream Relationship Goals on Prime Video February 4.
Queen of Chess (2026) — Netflix
This upcoming documentary takes a look at Hungarian chess prodigy Judit Polgár as she breaks barriers and misogynistic skepticism to eventually become one of the best chess players in the world. From the grueling training imposed on her by an overbearing father determined to create a chess great, Polgár went on to develop a years-long rivalry with champion Garry Kasparov and ultimately became a chess grandmaster — and the only woman to be ranked in the world top 10.
Queen of Chess is a fascinating documentary about ambition, self-worth and sexism, as it explores the game referred to by Kasparov as “psychological warfare” and Polgár’s hard-fought road to success. Polgár is both an easy hero to root for and a genuinely delightful presence both in the film’s archival footage and in her present-day interviews. Have no fear if you aren’t familiar with chess and the culture surrounding it — the film does a great job at not just explaining the game, but providing political and cultural context for it.
Stream Queen of Chess on Netflix February 6.
‘Summer House’ Season 10 — Peacock
Rich New Yorkers spending summer together in Montauk — what could possibly go wrong? Bravo’s hit reality series is back for its tenth season, with more drama, more scandal, more romance and plenty of money. Summer House follows a group of affluent young people who stay at a house in the Hamptons on weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day. There, they unwind after a week of work and enjoy outrageous parties, charity galas and an enviable high-end lifestyle.
Season 10 will have plenty of fresh faces while seeing the return of original cast members Carl Radke, Kyle Cooke and Lindsay Hubbard, in addition to Kyle’s wife, Amanda Batula, and newer cast members Jesse Solomon, Ciara Miller and West Wilson. There’s plenty to look forward to with the new season: Kyle and Amanda’s adjustment to married life, Kyle and Carl fighting and Lindsay becoming a new mom.
