We’re going to be spending a lot of time on Paramount+ this weekend. Not only has Scream 7 just landed on the streamer, but we’ll also be watching new episodes of Dutton Ranch and Criminal Minds: Evolution. Plus, this writer may or may not be rewatching old episodes of Laguna Beach before bed.

“Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams.”

But no Paramount+ binge session would be complete without The Chi. Lena Waithe’s beloved drama returned last week for the first episode of the eighth and (sadly) final season. The preview for the next episode, Season 8, Episode 2 (“White Russian”), teases that “Shaad and Victor’s fight to get out of their unfair prison sentence sends Patience down a path to find proof of their innocence.”

Per the official synopsis: “Emmett faces two major parenting crises, leading him to question if he’s a good father; Jake throws another party with the help of Bakari and Papa; Nuck decides to bring in new blood, which shakes things up at the 63rd Street mob; Tiff, under Nuck’s influence, gets pulled deeper into her bad bitch era and into his arms.”
