Not long after quarantine began, The A.V. Club shared the music, films, and TV shows that were getting us through the pandemic-prompted lockdowns in the hopes of helping our readers weather the new socially distanced normal. Eight months, a new president-elect, and a couple new streaming services later, we’re all especially adept at group-watches with family and friends. That’s why, for this edition of the Thanksgiving streaming guide, The A.V. Club is serving up the shows that are best when shared with others. You’ll find familiar titles, self-propagating franchises, and something to take the edge off your recent Crown binge.

I know they ain’t related, but every time I see it, The Boys, I’m like:The boys, the boys! A dog from the house of Capulet moves me. What can I say? I’m a sucker for love.
I am inclined to think of volleyball in Top Gun and ‘Playing with the Boys”.
Wolf Hall instead of the Spanish Princess.
Mo MST3K turkey marathon???? Freakin Communists.
While I like the Boys as well, when you’re talking about family get togethers ,I’d include the show I just binged 2 seasons of, The Umbrella Academy. All about family .
I haven’t watched it in several years but that Sopranos clip makes me miss James Gandolfini as an actor in that series, and also for all his talent gone too soon.
This year watching festive favourites while I cannot see any of my family members is hurting a lot, so I will be avoiding them all and watching films from directors that fit the current mood better, as Antonioni, Wenders or Fassbinder.
I like “The Boys” but that is definitely NOT a family watch show.
