ARES Stream on Netflix. This new Dutch horror series joins Netflix’s international roster of creepy psychological thrillers like Germany’s “Dark” or the French-Belgian show “Black Spot.” Running for eight episodes, the series follows Rosa (Jade Olieberg) and Jacob (Tobias Kersloot), friends who uncover a secret student society in Amsterdam that appears to share a dress code with the “Eyes Wide Shut” cabal. During their initiation, Rosa and Jacob discover ties to the city’s wealthy and powerful, as well as secrets from their country’s past.

TROOP ZERO Stream on Amazon. This film, adapted from a play by the “Beasts of the Southern Wild” co-writer Lucy Alibar, will likely win over any former scouts who were bitten by the adventure bug at a young age, but wound up regrettably spending more time at troop meetings or selling cookies. It’s 1977, and Christmas Flint (Mckenna Grace), is an outer space-obsessed 12-year-old who decides to form her own Birdie Scout group in a bid to win a contest that would feature the top troop’s voices on one of the Voyager I Golden Records. Christmas taps Rayleen (Viola Davis), a local woman who works for her widowed father (Jim Gaffigan), to lead the group, to which she’s recruited fellow outcasts. Together they work to defeat the popular girls’ troop, presided over by Miss Massey, who is played by Allison Janney. The movie “possesses all the elements of a traditional film about underdogs, retrofitted for a new generation,” Lovia Gyarkye wrote in her Times review.
