John Leguizamo’s one-man Broadway show comes to Netflix. And Samantha Bee hosts a special episode of “Full Frontal” ahead of the midterm elections.

What’s Streaming

JOHN LEGUIZAMO’S LATIN HISTORY FOR MORONS (2018) on Netflix. Framed as a confidence-building lesson for his bullied son, John Leguizamo hilariously tries to recount 3,000 years of Latin history in 95 minutes in this one-man Broadway show — covering achievements from the ancient Mayan civilization to “the age of Pitbull.” Leguizamo’s physical comedy and flamboyant characters offer plenty of laughs, but The New York Times’s Jesse Green wrote, the injustices he outlines seem oddly downgraded for comedy: “‘Latin History for Morons’ would be richer if he didn’t try so hard to make something so awful so funny.”

THE SIMPLEST HEIST on Acorn TV. If you’re a fan of the NBC comedy “Good Girls,” try this Swedish mini-series. Loosely based on a book by Tomas Arvidsson, it follows a madcap scheme by a teacher Jenny (Lotta Tejle) and a doctor Cecilia (Sissela Kyle), two friends in their 60s who decide to rob a bank as they inch closer to retirement. At just six episodes, the show is ripe for binge-watching.

PYAASA (1957) on Amazon, Mubi and YouTube. A destitute poet (Guru Dutt) struggles to get his work published and finds a supportive voice in a prostitute (Waheeda Rehman) who falls for him and his words.
