Between streaming and cables there is a seemingly endless variety to look at. Here is a selection of television shows and specials to air or stream this week from March 6th to 10th. Details and times are subject to change.
They're an incident.
It's been a while since Amanda last saw Sayfried on a small screen, but now she's back in her new miniseries, “Long Bright River.” Based on the book by Liz Moore of the same name, the story follows Mickey Fitzpatrick (Safried), a Philadelphia police officer who patrols a neighborhood known for his use of opioids. After a series of murders in the neighborhood, Mickey's work becomes even more personal. Streaming on Peacock on Thursday.
“Dope Thief” is a crime-related miniseries, also based on a book (written by Dennis Tafoya). This leads to Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Muura as two friends posing as agents for the Drug Enforcement Bureau to discover a drug trafficking route. Michael Mando (“Better Call Saul”) was originally to appear in the series, but was fired and replaced by Moura after the Onset Incident. That, combined with a production pause due to the Writer Guild of America strike, means that this show has spent a long time on the work. Streaming on AppletV+ on Friday.
Being an adult is difficult. That's true of being a teenager.
One of the famous difficult feats is taking one shot throughout the entire TV episode. Essentially, you hit the camera record and have the actors play the line. All four episodes of the new drama series “Adolescence” are produced as they follow the family in the aftermath of the arrest of his 13-year-old son in connection with the murder of a classmate. The series is about research, but also explores the pressures teenagers face lately, including bullying and toxic masculinity online. Streaming on Netflix on Thursday.
British thriller comedy “Am I Absurd?” is back on Hulu for this second season. The first season reveals that Nick (Daisy May Cooper) is the person who killed him after he suffers a hallucinating panic attack at his stepbrother's funeral, and after she refused her. Her son also kills the family cat, and her best friend Jen (Serin Hezli) records their private conversations – so much is happening. How does everything shake? Streaming on Hulu on Wednesday.
Lots of familiar faces.
Last year, John Mulany hosted a limited talk show series, “Everybody's in LA,” and it was a huge hit that Netflix is ​​reclaiming him for “Everyone's Live.” As explained at the Netflix event in January, Mulanie said, “We're never going to be related. We're never going to be a source of news. We're always reckless.” He continues to host and interview guests. Streaming on Netflix on Wednesday.
Anyone originally filmed in January can enjoy the Ringo Star classic hits from both the Beatles and his solo career, along with “Lyman's Apple and Friends.” The show was held at Country Music Capital, so it makes sense that the performance was also talented. Starr has joined a huge roster of guest performers, including Sheryl Crow, Rodney Crowell, Mickey Guyton, Emmylou Harris and Jack White. Performance proceeds were donated to the American Red Cross to help those affected by the California wildfires. CBS on Monday at 8pm.
Search for 15 years.
The first two installations of “American Manhunt” detailed the Boston Marathon bombing and the O.J. Simpson trial. The Netflix series considers a 15-year search for Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda terrorist and mastermind of the September 11 attack. The event is widely covered in news and fictional film Zero Dark 30, but this three-part documentary series will provide more analysis through interviews with central intelligence operatives and government officials. Streaming on Netflix on Monday.
