TUESDAY

Unsolved Mysteries: The reimaging of the beloved mystery series is back with nine new episodes, to be released over the next three weeks. Season premiere. Netflix

La Brea: It sounds like the show will go back to a plotline that they completely forgot about last week: that impending tidal wave that is going to destroy 1988 Los Angeles. I hate this dumb show because it is dumb. 8 p.m., NBC

Halloween: The original. And then go stream Halloween Ends on Peacock which they swear, they PROMISE, is the end of this never-ending series. 7 p.m., AMC

WEDNESDAY

American Horror Story: This season is “AHS: NYC” and, as with every season, we know little to nothing about it. That said, I wonder based purely on the teaser trailer, if the season won’t be based at least in part on the real serial killer who preyed on gay men back in the 70s, and who was never caught. Who knows? But it just feels like something Ryan Murphy would run with. Season premiere. 9 p.m., FX

Documentary Now!: I don’t know how this quirky niche series keeps getting renewed, but I’m not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Season premiere. 9 p.m., IFC

The School for Good and Evil: A pair of friends are sent to a school that trains the heroes and villains of fairy tales, and are pitted against one another. And Netflix paid out the big bucks for this one: Laurence Fishburn, Charlize Theron, Michelle Yeoh, and Cate Blanchett are among those who star. Premiere. Netflix

Love is Blind: This trash show with a 0.000 success rate is back. And God help me, but I know I’ll watch. Season premiere. Netflix

The Peripheral: Chloë Grace Moretz stars in this new series based on the William Gibson novel of the same name as a young woman who finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery in a simulated universe. Or something. It’s from the creators of Westworld, so there’s no way it’s as straightforward as all that. Series premiere.  Prime Video
