Now streaming: ‘Mare of Easttown,’ ‘Rutherford Falls,’ ‘Mortal Kombat’ and more

Here’s what’s new on Video on Demand, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and other services.

Top streams of the week

Kate Winslet stars as a police detective in “Mare of Easttown” (TV-MA), a limited-series crime drama steeped in the depressed culture of its small Pennsylvania town, where everyone knows everybody else and they all hold grudges and secrets. As much character drama as murder mystery, it is sustained by the performances of Winslet and Jean Smart, who plays her sneering mother. New episodes arrive Sundays. (HBO Max and all HBO platforms)

Also set in a small northeastern town, the comedy “Rutherford Falls: Season 1” (TV-14) is about a clueless guy (Ed Helms) whose obsession with championing his family legacy (his ancestor founded the town) collides with the Native American community, including his best friend (Jana Schmieding), curator of a small tribal cultural center at the nearby reservation. It uses character comedy to take on issues of history, representation and identity, and features a number of Indigenous writers on its writing team. New episodes each Thursday. (Peacock)

The historical fantasy epic “Shadow and Bone: Season 1” (TV-MA) follows the journey of an orphan (Jessie Mei Li) who discovers she holds powerful magic and trains with an elite army of magical soldiers. It features rival kingdoms, political intrigue, monsters and a cast of teenage heroes. (Netflix)

International passport: With the addition of “Quo Vadis, Aida?” (Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2020, not rated, with subtitles), “Better Days” (Hong Kong, 2019, PG, with subtitles) and “The Man Who Sold His Skin” (Tunisia, 2020, not rated, with subtitles), all five Oscar nominees for best international feature film are now streaming on Hulu. (The other two are Denmark’s “Another Round” and Romania’s “Collective.”)

True stories: “Secrets of the Whales” (2021, TV-PG) delves into the complex communication skills and social structures of five whale species (Disney+) and “Life in Color with David Attenborough” (TV-PG) uses revolutionary camera technology to reveal the ways animals use color to survive and thrive (Netflix). Both limited-series documentaries debut for Earth Day, April 22.

“Mortal Kombat” (2021, R), the new big-screen spinoff of the video game, stars Lewis Tan as a fighter challenging champions from all the realms in a battle to the death. It debuts the same day it opens in theaters April 23 and streams for 31 days only. (HBO Max)
