What to watch this weekend: Desperate ways to avoid the Kardashians

As the new Kardashian season debuts on Disney+, there are plenty of other engaging options to keep your attention. Apple TV offers a great movie, while the Mayday series starring Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh is a fantastic choice. This film follows a US Navy pilot, Troy "Assassin" Kelly, played by Reynolds, who is shot down behind enemy lines in 1987 and is rescued by a disillusioned KGB agent.

Together, they embark on a mad dash across the frozen Russian countryside to escape a ruthless KGB officer. The movie is filled with Cold War paranoia, unlikely friendship, and ludicrous situations, making it a fun and entertaining watch.

For those who prefer a more investigative storyline, the fourth episode of RJ Decker series has just dropped on Disney+. With weekly episodes and more twists and turns, this show is sure to keep you hooked while you avoid the Kardashian drama. Additionally, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has returned with a shortened season, although it has faced controversy due to domestic violence allegations and child welfare investigations. Despite the controversy, a sixth season is already in development.

If you're in the mood for something more historical, Snowpiercer on Netflix is an excellent choice. This post-apocalyptic tale follows survivors aboard a train traversing a frozen planet. With four seasons to binge-watch, it's a fantastic and entertaining show that will keep you engaged for hours.

And if all else fails, there's always the option to watch paint dry on YouTube – a surprisingly calming activity for those desperate to avoid the Kardashian frenzy.
