4 Best New Shows to Watch This Weekend (July 18-19): ‘Ride or Die' and More

This week's new shows have a whole lot of action – both on and off the sports field.

At the top of Watch With Us' binge list is Prime Video's Ride or Die, which asks the question, "What would happen if Thelma & Louise were ass-kicking action heroes?"

Apple TV continues its hot streak with Lucky, a crime thriller starring one of Hollywood's best young actresses, Anya Taylor-Joy.

And sports fans are in for a treat this weekend with the debut of Will Ferrell's new Netflix comedy, The Hawk, the return of the football docuseries Quarterback and the World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.

‘Ride or Die' Season 1 – Prime Video

Lonnie "The Hawk" Hawkins (Will Ferrell) is all washed up. A veteran golf pro, he's won almost every major tournament except one – the U.S. Open. Before he strikes his last golf ball, Lonnie wants to win the one significant trophy that's eluded him, but his mediocre golf swing, combined with an in-his-prime rival, Golden Fisk (Luke Wilson), stands in his way. Can Lonnie win one last time?

While The Hawk has received mixed reviews from critics, it's still worth watching to see Ferrell as an athlete still lost in his own ego. He's supported by a terrific cast of newcomers and vets, including fellow SNL alum Molly Shannon, future Gorilla Grodd Jimmy Tatro and stand-up comedian Fortune Feimster.
