'The White Lotus' to 'Baywatch': Top 5 Alexandra Daddario movies and shows to watch on OTT

Alexandra Daddario’s got a face you just don’t forget, and Hollywood’s taken notice. Over the last ten years, she’s carved out a spot for herself with a mix of big, bold movies and some seriously good TV roles. Lately, one might’ve seen headlines about her personal life, as she splits from her husband, Andrew Form, after three years of marriage. However, her work in the entertainment industry is what really stands out. If you’re up for action, comedy, drama, or a little mystery, here are five of her best movies and shows you can stream right now, along with a quick rundown on what makes each one worth your time.

Let’s start with something wild. Talk about some old school Hollywood action-comedy, and ‘Baywatch’ is your jam! ‘Baywatch’ takes the old-school TV show and cranks everything up: it’s louder, funnier, bigger. Daddario plays Summer Quinn, the new lifeguard on a rowdy beach patrol team. There’s plenty of action, lots of jokes, and a not-so-subtle crime plot. Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron bring the star power (and the muscles), but Daddario more than holds her own. If you want a movie that feels like a summer party, this one’s a blast.

Where to watch: You can stream ‘Baywatch’ on Netflix, Apple TV, or Prime Video.

Daddario hasn’t only dabbled in comedy. She has some credits in dark crime drama, too. Take ‘True Detective’ for example. The show’s first season is legendary: it’s moody, tense, and unforgettable. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson play detectives chasing a bizarre murder case through Louisiana’s swamps. Daddario shows up as Lisa Tragnetti, a character who shakes up the personal lives of both leads. Her role is smaller, but she makes it count, and it definitely helped people see her as more than just a blockbuster actress.

Now, a change of scenario. If you’re in the mood for a romantic comedy with a twist, something sweet and a little weird, make sure to check out ‘When We First Met’. Daddario is Avery, the girl at the center of a time-hopping romantic comedy. Adam DeVine plays Noah, who keeps going back in time, thanks to a magic photo booth, trying to win her heart. It’s goofy, charming, and sometimes a little sad, but it nails that feeling of trying to get love right.

Everybody would agree: ‘The White Lotus’ isn’t just a show, it’s a whole vibe. Wealthy guests and stressed-out staff collide at a Hawaiian resort, and Daddario’s Rachel Patton is right in the middle of it all. She plays a newlywed who’s suddenly questioning everything about her brand-new marriage and her place in the world. The series is sharp, funny, and sometimes painfully awkward. Daddario’s performance? She earned an Emmy nomination for her work.

Looking for pure adrenaline? Then, ‘San Andreas’ delivers: it’s a disaster thriller with heart. Daddario reunites with her ‘Baywatch’ co-star Dwayne Johnson; she plays Blake Gaines, the daughter of Dwayne Johnson’s rescue pilot. When a monster earthquake levels California, it turns into a full-on survival race to find each other again. There are wild stunts, huge special effects, and a surprising dose of family drama. If you love disaster flicks, this one scratches the itch.

Where to watch: Watch it on Prime Video.
