Television Series This Week: This week, there are many truly excellent television shows currently airing. For example, the show Shōgun is still going strong (with new episodes being released on Tuesdays), Abbott Elementary is still making its way through the school year (on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time), and The Gentlemen is available on Netflix, but you may be still working through it.
On the other hand, you must remember that new television series will be released this week and that a great number of excellent shows will be arriving on your television screen very soon.
If you are interested in history, there is always the film Manhunt, which recounts the events that transpired during the search for John Wilkes Booth. Part 2 of the second season of Invincible, which stars Steven Yeun as a superhuman character who is coming of age, has been released.
Those of you who have been waiting for a while to watch a sitcom that is of high quality and is of decent quality can now finally watch Girls5Eva. You may now watch it with less effort than you ever have before!
This week’s most important television premieres and finales are as follows:
NEW SHOWS ON NETFLIX
GIRLS5EVA SEASON 3
Genre: Zany sitcom
Release date: March 14, with all six episodes
Showrunner/creator: Meredith Scardino
Cast: Sara Bareilles, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Paula Pell, Busy Phillips
There is a new Girls5Eva album, bless up, and Girls5Eva is going on tour. Bless their hearts. In spite of the fact that they are on the road, that does not mean they will be able to avoid their problems, especially Wickie (Renée Elise Goldsberry), who is absolutely determined to get them to sell out Radio City Music Hall. They’d better get to Fort Work, right? (You need to watch the show to understand this joke better.)

Grey’s has come back, and you know what that means: Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) is rethinking things, and interns are having tough times after a patient dies. Despite the fact that it’s the same shit and a very different day at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital on paper — this is the first season without Pompeo as a series regular (although she’s still here and still doing voiceovers).

Genre: Period-piece drama
Release date: March 13
Showrunner/creator: Ryan Murphy
Cast: Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, Chloë Sevigny, and more
In Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, the rich have devoured themselves, the high society has self-destructed, and even James Baldwin has stopped by to briefly comment on the feud (historical spoiler: it wasn’t so great?). Tune in if you want to see how it all plays out for Capote.

NEW SHOWS ON APPLE TV PLUS
MANHUNT
Genre: Historical drama
Release date: March 15, with two episodes

Manhunt is about the search that takes place after that, the 12-day search of John Wilkes Booth (Anthony Boyle of Masters of the Air fame) by Edwin Stanton (Tobias Menzies), then the secretary of war. There is an excellent summary of the book Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer in the title of the show, which revolves around Lincoln’s death period (which is one of the most fitting titles).
