This week's streaming offerings bring a mix of romance, thriller, music, and period drama. Among the highlights are the rom-com gone wrong 'The Drama,' starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, synth-pop group MUNA's fourth studio album, and a new series based on Jane Austen's lesser-known Bennet sister.

'The Drama' arrives Tuesday on premium on demand. Written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli, the film follows a couple whose wedding engagement is derailed after a disturbing revelation. It recently became the fifth A24 release to surpass $100 million at the box office. AP's Mark Kennedy noted that the film 'wastes two of the planet's most gorgeous people and will surely get everyone involved in trouble for using a current American tragedy as a plot point.'
In Sam Raimi's 'Send Help,' Rachel McAdams plays a woman stranded on a deserted island with her overbearing boss (Dylan O'Brien) after a plane crash. The comic survivalist thriller grows increasingly unhinged as roles reverse. It debuts Thursday on Hulu.
The Netflix adaptation 'Remarkably Bright Creatures' (streaming Friday) turns Shelby Van Pelt's bestselling novel into a film starring Sally Field as a widow who bonds with a giant Pacific octopus at an aquarium. Lewis Pullman co-stars.
