4 Things to Watch Tonight: Monday Picks for July 20
Monday evening is here, and after a weekend that saw Spain lift the World Cup trophy and Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey shatter records with a $264 million global debut, it's time to settle in with something worth streaming. Tonight's picks span thrillers, action, and sci-fi — with a clear number one still dominating the conversation.
Headliner: I Will Find You (Netflix)
Two weeks after its premiere, I Will Find You remains Netflix's most-watched TV series, racking up 714 points on FlixPatrol's global chart and holding the #1 spot across dozens of countries. The Harlan Coben adaptation stars Sam Worthington as a father who escapes prison after receiving evidence that his son may still be alive, setting off a desperate cross-country search. The series sits at 62% on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising the tightly controlled pace and a strong supporting cast including Chi McBride and Logan Browning as sparring FBI partners. It's Coben's latest in a long line of Netflix adaptations that have become reliable appointment viewing, from Fool Me Once to Missing You — and this one may be his most-watched yet. With all eight episodes available now, it's the definition of a binge-ready thriller: twisty, fast, and built for multiple episodes in one sitting.
Also Streaming Tonight
Desire (Netflix)
If you prefer your viewing with a dramatic edge, Desire became the #1 movie on Netflix globally just days after its July 17 release, earning 860 points on FlixPatrol. The Mexican erotic thriller follows Lucero, a successful lawyer whose affair with her daughter's swimming coach unravels her carefully constructed life. Directed by Teresa Simone and starring Ludwika Paleta, the Spanish-language film is pure soapy melodrama — light on critical praise but undeniably connecting with audiences worldwide. Sometimes that's exactly what a Monday night calls for.
Agent Kim Reactivated (Netflix)
Agent Kim Reactivated continues its strong run at #2 on Netflix's global TV chart with 657 points. This Korean action thriller starring So Ji-sub follows a retired intelligence agent pulled back into high-stakes espionage after a threat from his past resurfaces. With an IMDb rating of 8.1 and comparisons to the best of the K-drama action genre, it's a solid pick for viewers who want something with more grit and international flavor than typical Hollywood fare. The first episode builds patiently, but once the action kicks in, it delivers the kind of tightly choreographed set pieces Korean cinema is known for.
Silo Season 3 (Apple TV+)
For something off Netflix, Silo Season 3 continues to deliver some of the best sci-fi on television. Apple TV+'s dystopian drama, starring Rebecca Ferguson as engineer Juliette Nichols, earned a perfect 100% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes this season — a remarkable feat for a show entering its third year. Based on Hugh Howey's novels, this season digs deeper into the mysteries of the silo network while tightening the character arcs that made the first two seasons so compelling. The season is currently airing weekly, making it ideal for viewers who prefer savoring episodes rather than bingeing. If you haven't started yet, seasons 1 and 2 are also available to catch up on, though fair warning: you'll want to clear your schedule.
ICYMI: The Weekend's Biggest Stories
If you somehow missed it, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey conquered the global box office with $264 million — the biggest debut of Nolan's career, surpassing The Dark Knight Rises. Starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, and Robert Pattinson, the epic is in theaters now and will hit streaming later this year. Meanwhile, Spain's World Cup victory over Argentina capped off a tournament that drew massive ratings, with Tom Cruise appearing during the pre-show.
