For fans of gritty crime dramas, “Long Bright River” offers a compelling performance by Amanda Seyfried as a patrol cop in Philadelphia searching for her missing drug-addict sister and a killer in the city’s most crime-ridden neighborhoods.

“Laid” is a unique black comedy that follows Ruby, an unlucky-in-love woman who discovers that all her past boyfriends and one-night stands have mysteriously died. With a mix of humor and mystery, this show keeps you guessing until the end.

If you’re a fan of ’80s nostalgia, “Hysteria!” is a satirical take on the satanic panic surrounding heavy metal music in that era. Bruce Campbell and Anna Camp star in this fun and spooky series that will take you back to the hair-metal days.

Lastly, “Teacup,” based on the sci-fi novel by Robert McCammon, is a thrilling ride that pits humans against a malevolent alien presence. With a gripping storyline and suspenseful moments, this show is a must-watch for sci-fi fans.
