‘Solar Opposites’ (2020)

‘Solar Opposites’ is a hilarious animated sci-fi show about a group of aliens – Korvo, Terry, Yumyulack, and Jesse – who find themselves stranded on Earth. They’re trying to figure out what humans are all about while also guarding a strange creature called Pupa, which will eventually change the planet. The show features the voices of Dan Stevens, Thomas Middleditch, Sean Giambrone, and Mary Mack, and is produced by 20th Television Animation. New episodes arrive on Monday, October 13th.

As a big animation fan, I’ve been really enjoying ‘Solar Opposites.’ It’s a clever show that mixes standalone, crazy adventures each episode with a larger, ongoing story, especially the fascinating world they discover inside ‘the Wall.’ What I love is it doesn’t just rely on those quick gags, though. It builds out these running storylines, brings back characters, and really explores how this alien family changes and grows – it’s a great blend of funny and surprisingly heartfelt sci-fi satire.

‘Obituary’ (2023)

‘Obituary’ is a darkly funny Irish crime series about Elvira Clancy, a woman who writes obituaries in a small town. Facing potential job loss, she starts making questionable choices to ensure she still has death notices to publish. Siobhán Cullen stars as Elvira, alongside Michael Smiley, Ronan Raftery, Danielle Galligan, and David Ganly. The first season has six episodes and is set in a beautiful, windswept coastal location. It will be released on Tuesday, October 14th.

‘Obituary’ blends dark humor with a gradually unfolding mystery, centering on Elvira, who leads a secret life and has a complex family. The story unfolds in a newsroom where seeking the truth can be dangerous, and is beautifully set in Ireland. As the investigation progresses, the tension steadily increases.

‘Murdaugh: Death in the Family’ (2025)

“Murdaugh: Death in the Family” is a true-crime series that tells the dramatic story of the powerful Murdaugh family, a legal dynasty in South Carolina.

It begins streaming on Wednesday, October 15.

The series will delve into the legal tactics used in the case, the sequence of events during the investigation, and the organizations involved with the family. Each episode will be built around official case files and public documents, revealing how local power players, law enforcement, and the media influenced the outcome.

‘Duck Dynasty: The Revival’ (2025)

This show combines the excitement of fast-paced auctions with the thrill of taking risks, and then reveals whether each item turns a profit or flops after being appraised. Unique antiques, local treasures, and rare finds keep things interesting, resulting in episodes that are quick and easy to follow.

‘Evil Lives Here’ (2016)

The true-crime show ‘Evil Lives Here’ tells stories through the eyes of people who knew the criminals – their family, partners, or close friends. They share the warning signs they noticed, or didn’t notice, before the crimes happened. Each episode uses interviews and brief reenactments to piece together what occurred, and the series premieres on Saturday, October 18th.

Each story focuses on one person’s experience, showing how they cope with the emotional impact of a crime, realize something is wrong, and deal with the consequences even after someone is arrested. The approach prioritizes authentic, personal stories over dramatic details.

‘Evil Lives Here: Shadows of Death’ (2020)

Similar to the show ‘Evil Lives Here,’ ‘Evil Lives Here: Shadows of Death’ explores homicide cases through the eyes of investigators and the families affected by the crimes. The show unfolds like a real investigation, gradually revealing details over months or even years. It premieres on Saturday, October 18th.

This show uses interviews, evidence files, and realistic reenactments to follow criminal investigations and show how violent crime affects entire communities. It complements the original series by focusing on the investigators and the victims’ families, offering a detailed look at the pursuit of justice and the consequences of violence.
