The big story this week is the premieres: Zack Snyder's buzzy zombie blockbuster Army of the Dead hits Netflix, along with the third season of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous. On Hulu, the long-awaited animated Marvel comedy following the super-smart M.O.D.O.K. launches its assault on our streaming queue.

Fox has the season finale of The Simpsons, which goes out with a wild story about a secret society aiming to take out Homer and his pals.
