Top streams for the week

Paul Rudd stars as a depressed, middle-aged burnout who is replaced with a better version of himself in “Living With Yourself,” a Netflix original series that takes cloning to a level of existential absurdity. While the sad sack struggles to take back his life and identity, the fresh, new version embraces every new experience with a glee bordering on bliss. Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (“Little Miss Sunshine”) direct all eight episodes of the comedy created by “The Daily Show” producer Timothy Greenberg. Now streaming on Netflix.

The anthology series “Modern Love” explores love in its many forms – romantic, platonic, parental – in short stories drawn from the popular column in the New York Times. Anne Hathaway, Dev Patel, Tina Fey, John Slattery, Andrew Scott and Olivia Cooke are among the stars of the debut season developed for Amazon by director John Carney (“Once”), who helms four of the eight episodes. Streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
