Planning on staying in for the weekend and not sure what to watch? TV Guide's Editor-in-Chief Mickey O'Connor has a few suggestions. Here's what you should stream this weekend.

1. Bonus Family aka Bonusfamiljen

This Swedish dramedy centers around a family trying to co-exist with each other's exes and children. While NBC is developing an American version of the popular series, you can catch the original on Netflix starting Thursday, Oct. 5. The show's title stems from the fact that Sweden doesn't use the terms "stepmother" and "stepfather," opting for "bonus mother" and "bonus father" instead.
