Quibi – allegedly pronounced “kwibby” – is the latest service to enter the streaming game, and its strategy is unique. The streamer’s mobile-only content is designed to be consumed in small chunks, or “quick bites,” but unlike its competitors such as YouTube, the shows on Quibi have big name stars and production values similar to what you’d find on a major network. Creators Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman are betting that in our modern society of short attention spans there is an audience for well-crafted entertainment that can be watched quickly while on the go. Interested in giving it a try? We’ve got a list of Quibi shows that we’re most excited about.

After lots of talk, splashy deals by its big-name execs and mass confusion on how to pronounce its name, Quibi (“Quick Bites”) launched this week as the streaming service designed specifically for your phone. While the launch features 50 titles, many of them are news and entertainment programs that were not produced in advance. Taking those out of the mix, we watched the first few episodes made available to the press of the remaining 24 movies, series, documentaries and game shows, and ranked what you need to see and what you can safely skip:

At 23 years old, Jasiel Correia became the youngest person ever to be elected mayor of Fall River, Massachusetts — and likely one of the youngest mayors anywhere ever — in 2015. He flourished, and was elected again in November 2017, but soon found himself in hot water after arrests on fraud and extortion charges, including allegedly using his own funds to defraud investors and extorting vendors. Correia ran again in November 2019, and though he lost, he still reportedly came in third place. The drama is depicted in the new Quibi series “Run This City,” and IndieWire has the exclusive first trailer, below.
“Run This City” is executive produced by Oscar nominee Mark Wahlberg and directed by award-winning Canadian filmmaker Brent Hodge, “Run This Town” follows Jasiel Correia as he navigates the role of newbie mayor, and the FBI indicts his former company while he fights the charges. The series will launch alongside the Quibi...
