The TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!

Netflix, Paramount Plus, Amazon’s Prime Video, Apple TV, Peacock, HBO Max, Disney Plus and Hulu today (March 4, 2026) are adding 15 new TV shows and movies to their streaming lineups. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion:

Young Sherlock (2026)
Where to Watch: Amazon’s Prime Video
What Kind of Show: Mystery
Who’s In It: Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Colin Firth
Hero Fiennes Tiffin (pictured above) stars as the 19-year-old Sherlock Holmes, the fictional master detective who attempts to solve his first murder while attending Oxford University. The Amazon original series covers old ground (previous movies and shows have used the ‘young Sherlock’ angle) but it’s still a fun concept and the strong supporting cast includes Colin Firth, Tiffin’s real-life uncle, Joseph Fiennes (who plays his father), and Natascha McElhone.

RJ Decker (Series Premiere)
Where to Watch: Hulu (Aired last night on ABC)
What Kind of Show: Drama/Comedy
Who’s In It: Scott Speedman, Jaina Lee Ortiz
Scott Speedman (Underworld, Grey’s Anatomy) stars as a disgraced journalist (and ex-convict; not sure which is worse) who attempts a life rebound as a private investigator in South Florida. The new ABC show has all the earmarks of being written by someone who watched a lot of 1970s/1980s network TV. Handsome guy with checkered past solves cases the police won’t touch in beach community populated by beautiful bikini-clad women. (Magnum PI, Rockford Files, etc.) Who knows? Maybe it’s an idea whose time has come…again. We’ll see starting tonight.

Hijack (Season two finale)
In season one, Idris Elba (The Wire, Luther) plays a master negotiator who must use his special skills to stay alive when the plane he’s on is hijacked by a somewhat dysfunctional team of terrorists. Hijack doesn’t rely on conventional storylines. Just when you think you understand why the plane has been hijacked, the show peels back another layer of the onion, revealing more details about the whys and whos. Elba, who exploded onto the scene with his portrayal of the drug dealer, Stringer Bell, in HBO’s The Wire, is the best he’s ever been since that show. Like the terrorists, Elba’s character has conflicting motivations which are slowly revealed throughout the seven-episode first season and the actor does a splendid job of keeping his cards close to the vest until each revelation is served. Great show, great performance. In the eight episode season two, which wraps today with the final episode, Elba is on a Berlin underground train when it’s taken hostage. Once again, he must find a way to keep himself and everyone else alive. I’ve watched the first seven episodes and it’s terrific. If you haven’t watched it, start binging today.
