Thursday is giving us a little bit of everything, from returning streaming favorites to reality TV, sports and a Star Trek episode that soap fans may want to put near the top of their list.

Netflix brings The Gentlemen back for Season 2, Hulu has a new season of Chad Powers, and Paramount+ drops a particularly fun episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Over on broadcast and cable, Big Brother, The Real Housewives of Orange County and Project Runway are among the familiar names filling out the night.

⭐ The TV Cave Top Pick: The Gentlemen Season 2

The Gentlemen is back, and that's enough to earn our top spot for Thursday.

The Netflix series returns for its second season with Theo James back as Eddie Horniman, whose unexpected inheritance pulled him directly into the criminal underworld. After everything Season 1 threw his way, Eddie's story isn't getting any simpler as the series returns with more criminal maneuvering, questionable alliances and the very particular sense of humor that helped make the first season such a hit.

All eight episodes of Season 2 are available to stream today, so Netflix is making it dangerously easy to turn Thursday night into a full-season binge.

Also Worth Watching: Strange New Worlds Goes Full Soap Opera

Soap fans, this one is for us.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 continues with Episode 7, “Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass,” and the Enterprise crew is about to find itself somewhere even Star Trek doesn't visit very often: inside a classic soap opera.

When a familiar space trickster traps the crew in the melodramatic world of daytime television, Pike is forced to confront the loss of a life he never got to live.

And yes, Days of Our Lives legend Deidre Hall is part of the fun.

It's a wonderfully weird collision of two television worlds that normally have absolutely nothing to do with each other, which naturally makes it one of Thursday's most intriguing episodes. The episode is streaming today on Paramount+.
