‘Solar Opposites’ (2020)
The animated sci-fi comedy ‘Solar Opposites’ follows a team of aliens—Korvo, Terry, Yumyulack, and Jesse—who crash-land on Earth and try to make sense of human life while protecting a mysterious Pupa that will one day terraform the planet. Voice performances include Dan Stevens, Thomas Middleditch, Sean Giambrone, and Mary Mack, with the series coming from 20th Television Animation. It arrives on Monday, October 13.
Across its seasons, ‘Solar Opposites’ weaves monster-of-the-week chaos with bigger arcs like the miniature society inside “the Wall,” blending suburban satire with high-concept sci-fi. The show leans into serialized side stories, recurring antagonists, and evolving family dynamics.
‘Obituary’ (2023)
The Irish dark-comedy crime series ‘Obituary’ centers on Elvira Clancy, a small-town obituarist whose job insecurity pushes her into ethically dubious territory to keep the death notices coming. Siobhán Cullen leads the cast as Elvira, joined by Michael Smiley, Ronan Raftery, Danielle Galligan, and David Ganly; the show’s creative team developed a six-episode first season set against a windswept coastal backdrop. It lands on Tuesday, October 14.
‘Obituary’ balances mordant humor with a slow-burn crime plot, following Elvira’s double life, complicated family ties, and a newsroom where curiosity cuts both ways. Filming in Ireland gives the series a distinctive sense of place, and its serialized story tightens as investigations close in.

New episodes arrive Thursday, October 16.
The series blends fast auctions, on-the-spot risk-taking, and post-sale appraisals that determine whether a unit scores or sinks. Antique oddities, regional collectibles, and one-of-a-kind finds keep the format lively, making for quick, self-contained episodes.
‘Evil Lives Here’ (2016)
The true-crime series ‘Evil Lives Here’ features first-person accounts from relatives, partners, or close friends of offenders, recounting the red flags they saw—and missed—inside their own homes.

Each installment centers a single narrator to chart the emotional fallout, the gradual recognition of danger, and the aftermath that families live with long after an arrest. The format emphasizes lived experience and recollection over sensationalism.
‘Evil Lives Here: Shadows of Death’ (2020)
A companion series to ‘Evil Lives Here,’ ‘Evil Lives Here: Shadows of Death’ follows investigators and victims’ families as they piece together homicide cases over months or years.
