Everybody’s Watching Diane Keaton Movies According To This Week’s Streaming Charts

The late comedy icon is easily the most popular streaming star on the planet this week, which is a little bittersweet, TBH.

I don’t think even the recently departed Robert Redford saw a post mortem career bump like this. Neither did Gene Hackman, IIRC (different story in this house, believe me – go watch 1973’s Scarecrow). But Diane Keaton? The comedy icon, who died on October 11 at the age of 79, has four films in the top 10 this week, and none of them are directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which is wild.

Meanwhile, at number one in TV land we have The Woman In Cabin 10, a glossy and instantly forgettable thriller starring Keira Knightley. And it seems Stephen Soderbergh’s Black Bag has just hit streaming, and you should definitely make time for that if “What if Harry Palmer was a wife guy?” sounds like your jam.

NoSeason 3 of Northern Irish cop dram Blue Lights is your number one streaming series this week, which is a surprise to me because I’ve either never heard of it, or instantly forgot it when I did hear about it. Now, that could be senility, or it could be the atomised nature of culture in our current grim age – you can’t be across everything, and you’ll go crazy if you try.

Further down the list, things get more interesting. Slow Horses is no surprise, but HBO‘s Task, starring Mark Ruffalo as a troubled priest-turned-FBI-agent, is an absolute banger, and I’m glad it’s finding an audience. Boots, Netflix‘s gay military dramedy that seems to have driven the US far right even more apoplectically incontinent than usual, has also found its people, and I’m making a mental note to give that a spin soon.
