What to watch this weekend: ‘Euphoria’, ‘Jaws’ and more

Euphoria

For better or worse, nothing in the TV landscape gets people talking like Euphoria. Sam Levinson’s series picks up the plot six years after the events of season 2, with the former high-schoolers now living messy adult lives. (JioHotstar)

Jaws

This 1975 classic, adapted from Peter Benchley’s 1974 eponymous novel, is back in theatres in a 4K restoration. After a killer shark starts picking off prey at a busy beach at a New England summer resort town, police chief Martin Brody (played by Roy Scheider), a shark hunter (Robert Shaw) and a marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss) team up to hunt it down. The cast includes Lorraine Gray, Murray Hamilton, Susan Backlinie and Peter Benchley. Screenplay is written by Benchley and Carl Gottlieb. This was the original summer blockbuster, its success propelling director Steven Spielberg to Hollywood’s upper echelon. (In theatres)
