High on the weekend's watch list are the finals of two of the best shows of the year so far: thethe last of us endsit's himPokerfaceend of season 1

In terms of releases, two Netflix hits are back, one with a troubled (but good) heroLuther: The Fallen Sunand the other a charming (but murderous) antiheroyou season 4 part 2. Other recurring series include Perry Mason Season 2, Most Dangerous Game Season 2, and Top Chef Season 20.

There are two news programs this week:World History, Part II, a sequel to 40 years in the making of the Mel Brooks film; and UnPrisoned, a family comedy about incarceration.

Here's our guide to what to see this weekend.

The Last of Us Staffel 1 Finale (HBO)

For a zombie drama, The Last of Us didn't really throw many of the infected at us (aside from that stunning scene by the fountain in Kansas City). Instead, the show presented a set of absolute perceptions that monsters have always been human. Behold: the villain of last week's episode, cannibalistic preacher/rapist David.

The finale wraps up the season's main story, Joel and Ellie's journey west to the mysterious medical facility where her immunity to Cordyceps can be tested. But as we've seen time and time again, their destination may not be the safe haven they're hoping for.

Poker Face (Peacock) Staffel 1 Finale

Criminal procedures have a bad reputation, mainly because they are repetitive and outdated. However, Poker Face has been completely refreshing in executing the case of the week formula. Much of this is thanks to Natasha Lyonne's magnetic performance and delightful cameos from the likes of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Barkin, Chloë Sevigny and Adrien Brody.

The ending deviates from the norm by focusing on the serialized arc established in the premiere: Charlie on the run from casino security henchman Cliff (Benjamin Bratt). He eventually catches up to her, but when he brings her to Sterling Frost Sr. (Ron Perlman), the story takes a surprising turn.

Luther: The Fallen Sun (Netflix)

The fifth and final season of Luther aired in 2019, much to the dismay of fans. Luckily, the brilliant but troubled detective, played by Idris Elba, returns in a sequel to the film. The disgraced John Luther, last seen in handcuffs, is now in prison for using illegal (albeit effective) means of arresting criminals.

He was placed there by psychopathic cyber genius David Robey (Andy Serkis), who goes on a killing spree using surveillance technology. Luther decides to break out of prison to catch him by any means necessary. He has to dodge an intelligence officer (Cynthia Erivo) assigned to hunt down Luther.

Tú Season 4 Part 2 (Netflix)

Oh, how the killer tables have changed. In his new life as Jonathan Moore's literature professor, Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) tries to be "good" and not kill anyone. But it seems he just can't escape his past or his preferences.

In the first half of You's fourth season, Joe was being pursued by a mysterious assassin who was killing members of a wealthy society. The "Eat the Rich Killer" turns out to be charming author and aspiring politician Rhys Montrose (Ed Speleers). Now Joe must figure out how to avoid being framed for Rhys' crimes while protecting his new love Kate (Charlotte Ritchie). It won't be easy when Rhys wants to be bound for his crimes. Talk about a toxic bromance. See mine for more spoiler detailsYou Season 4 Part 2 Review.

World History Part II (Hulu)

Four decades after the original project released, we rarely get a sequel, but streaming has made it all possible. Mel Brooks is following up his 1981 film History of the World with an eight-part sketch comedy series.

Each episode chronicles different moments in history, from the Paleolithic Age to the Civil War and the Nixon presidency. In addition to Brooks himself (who serves as narrator), the cast is packed with stars like Wanda Sykes, Nick Kroll, Ike Barinholtz and Janelle James. Like the film and most of Brooks' work, the show is punctuated with silly gags, irreverent takes, and musical numbers.

No Jail (Hulu)

Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo break away from their usual drama to star together in an emotional half-hour comedy. Paige Alexander is a perfectionist relationship therapist and single mother of a teenager. Her life is turned upside down when her father Edwin is released from prison and moves in with them.

Edwin decides to make a new life for himself after nearly two decades in prison, reconnecting with his daughter and allying himself with his grandson Finn (Faly Rakotohavana). Meanwhile, Paige deals with her father's presence and its impact on her career and dating.

Perry Mason Temporada 2 (HBO)

Now that the show is under new helms (Michael Begler and Jack Amiel of The Knick), Perry Mason dives squarely into the world of law. Haunted by his past, the alcoholic former private investigator has a boring legal job that pays his bills.

But Perry soon becomes involved in the murder of the son of a prominent oil magnate. The prime suspects are the Mexican-American brothers (Fabrizio Guido and Peter Mendoza), although Perry believes racism and a larger conspiracy are at play. With the help of trusted assistant Della Street (Juliet Rylance) and detective-turned-private detective Paul Drake (Chris Chalk), she begins to dig for the truth, despite powerful forces not wanting her exposed.

Top Chef Temporada 20 (Bravo)

In its 20th season, Top Chef goes international. The World All Stars edition brings together performers from all the different top chef shows around the world, from the US to Brazil, Italy and Thailand. Padma Lakshmi, Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons are moving to London where they will oversee quick shots and eliminations.

American fan favorites include Buddha Lo (season 19 winner), Dawn Burrell (season 18 runner-up), Sara Bradley (season 16 runner-up), and Amar Santana (season 13 runner-up). Expect challenges at iconic English locations such as Kew Gardens, Highclere Castle (aka Downton Abbey) and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Most Dangerous Game Temporada 2 (The Roku Channel)

Ah, Quibi, the short-form service was very short-lived. However, its content lives on under the aegis of the Roku Channel. One of Quibi's best originals was the action thriller Most Dangerous Game, starring Christoph Waltz and Liam Hemsworth.

Season 2 brings Waltz back, though not Hemsworth (who became the new witcher). Umbrella Academy star David Castañeda takes his place as Victor Suero, a hapless boxer who signs on for the main game of evil CEO Miles Seller. If Victor survives the hunt, he will earn the money he needs to pay his sister's ransom.
