Memorial Day Weekend TV Viewing Guide: From ‘Killing Eve’ to ‘Game of Thrones: The Last Watch’
It’s Memorial Day weekend, and chances are you’re going to observe the three-day time-out in all of the traditional ways: Honoring those who have died while serving our country, barbecuing, cracking open cold ones with the boys and of course, watching TV.
When the barbecue has been devoured and the block parties have wound down, settle into your couch with ease — we’ve got you covered on what to watch this weekend, from the season finale of “Killing Eve” to HBO’s “Game of Thrones: The Last Watch” to a new episode of “The Bachelorette.”
“What/If” Renée Zellweger stars in Netflix’s latest series, which dropped on the streaming service Friday. Described as a “neo-noir social thriller,” the anthology series “explores the ripple effects of what happens when acceptable people start doing unacceptable things. The season focuses on a mysterious woman’s lucrative but dubious offer to a cash-strapped pair of San Francisco newlyweds.”
“Doom Patrol” The season finale of DC Universe’s superhero drama went up on the streaming service Friday. The series is based on a super team of heroes whose powers have caused them alienation and trauma.

“Ransom” This CBS series has its season finale at 8 p.m. on Saturday night. The story follows crisis negotiator Eric Beaumont, an expert in kidnap and ransom cases, who refuses to resort to violence even when faced with the world’s most dangerous criminals.
“Killing Eve” Since this is a weekend of season finales, Sandra Oh’s Emmy-winning drama “Killing Eve” airs its last episode of Season Two on Sunday at 8 p.m. on BBC America. The drama follows the inextricably linked lives of a security operative, Eve Polastri (Oh) and an assassin, Villanelle (Jodie Comer).

“Game of Thrones: The Last Watch” The “Game of Thrones” series finale has come and gone, but there’s still one more bit of new “GoT”-related content coming this weekend. This two-hour documentary airs from 9 to 11 p.m. Sunday on HBO. Made by British filmmaker Jeanie Finlay, who was there on set for the filming of the final season, the documentary is described by HBO as delving “deep into the mud and blood to reveal the tears and triumphs involved in the challenge of bringing the fantasy world of Westeros to life in the very real studios, fields and car-parks of Northern Ireland.”
“The Bachelorette” After Monday’s Memorial Day parties have concluded, tune in to ABC at 8 p.m. to check on the progress of this season’s bachelorette, former Miss Alabama USA Hannah Brown.
Stanley Cup Playoffs: Game 1 For the hockey fans out there, the Memorial Day festivities will likely coincide with Game 1 of this year’s Stanley Cup Playoffs. Watch the Boston Bruins face off against the St. Louis Blues at 8 p.m. ET on Monday.
