Weekend Preview: ‘Bosch’ Is Back On Amazon, And Netflix Is Dropping Multiple Shows For the Binging

Social distancing continues this weekend amid the global pandemic, and several new TV seasons are here for the binging. If nothing here suits your sensibilities, check out our guide to What You Should Watch On Streaming Right Now.

Bosch (Amazon series) — Bosch’s newly cleared reputation precedes him as the sixth season begins, so can Titus Welliver’s title character just take a beach holiday? Not a chance. Amazon’s addictive cop drama is back for its penultimate turn.

#BlackAF (Netflix series) – Rashida Jones and Black-ish creator Kenya Barris joined forces for this comedy series that’s in mockumentary format and incredibly meta. However, the show’s at least promising to be more edgy than its ABC counterpart.

Too Hot to Handle (Netflix series) — Another dating show on Netflix has arrived, but this time, it’s kind-of an anti-dating show. Ten singles will show up in tropical paradise, only to be told that they can’t hook up or even pleasure themselves (not sure how they’ll monitor that one) if they want to stay in competition for a $100,000 prize. Good luck?

Outer Banks (Netflix series) — This coming-of-age story takes place — you guessed it — on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Unfortunately, a hurricane takes out power for an entire summer season, which leads a group of friends to consider life-altering decisions amid mystery and adventure.

Sergio (Netflix film) — This biographical drama, starring Wagner Moura and Ana de Armas, follows the storied career of Sergio Vieira de Mello, a top UN diplomat on one last job in Baghdad that leads to a life-or-death struggle.

Rising High (Netflix film) — Two real-estate fraudsters rise and fall while attempting a get-rich scheme that goes incredibly wrong.

Here’s the rest of this weekend’s notable programming:

Charmed (Friday, CW 8:00 p.m.) — Mel and Maggie are surprisingly seeking help from dad while Macy gets a surprise reveal from the past.

Dynasty (Friday, CW 9:00 p.m.) — Fallon’s on the hunt for the perfect wedding gift while Blake wants to close his deal, and Sam’s learning about friendship.

Atlanta’s Missing and Murdered: The Lost Children (Sunday, HBO 8:00 p.m.) — Part III of HBO’s unraveling of a shameful legacy airs. Read our interview with two of the filmmakers, and then tune in to watch Wayne Williams’ odd behavior (and that of the police) make no sense.

Westworld (Sunday, HBO 9:00 p.m.) — The confusion continues as this episode’s description alludes to some form of therapy. Get caught up on fan theories before air time.

Killing Eve (Sunday, AMC 9:00 p.m.) — Kenny’s death leaves Eve and Caroline reeling, and Villanelle finds that being part of management “sucks.”

Homeland (Sunday, Showtime 9:00 p.m.) — Carrie’s scrambling to receive a favor (just one more!) while Saul is backchannelling.

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist (Sunday, NBC 9:00 p.m.) — Zoe finds herself in a major and uncomfortable conflict with several people while Mitch and Maggie attempt to celebrate but fail.

Insecure (Sunday, HBO 10:00 p.m.) — Lawrence grows uncomfortable when confronted by Issa and Condola, and Molly and Andrew aren’t doing so well.

Run (Sunday, HBO 10:30 p.m.) — The new show from Fleabag and Killing Eve dynamic duo Vicky Jones and Phoebe Waller-Bridge barrels further down the train track as Ruby and Billy try to figure out what the hell they’re doing together.
