This week’s What To Watch picks include The Righteous Gemstones’ fourth and final season, the third seasons from AMC’s Dark Winds and Adult Swim’s YOLO: Rainbow Trinity, the series premiere of Hulu’s Deli Boys, documentaries about the Boston Celtics (Max) and Charles Manson (Netflix), and the sci-fi flick The Silent Planet. Let’s hit the couch!

Celtics City | HBO, Max | Sports documentary

Limited series, Monday, March 3, 9 p.m. ET/PT: Emmy^®–winner Lauren Stowell (Taquarius Wair: Unstoppable) directs this nine-part documentary series about the 18-time NBA champions, the Boston Celtics. The doc covers the team’s entire 75-year history. It touches on the Celtics’ influence, rivalries, personalities, and more, thanks to more than 80 interviews with current and former team members, players, and coaches from other NBA teams, as well as Donnie Wahlberg and Bel Biv DeVoe. Airs live on HBO and streams on Max, with new episodes weekly through April 28.

Deli Boys | Hulu | Comedy

Series premiere, Thursday, March 6: In this comedy series, a pair of posh Pakistani bros (Asif Ali, Saagar Skaikh) lose their wealthy father—and, when it turns out their dad was a crook, everything else. That doesn’t stop the men from trying to replace their father in his secret enterprises. Kevin Corrigan (Grounded for Life) plays an Italian crime boss (their ostensible rival), and Tan France (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) guest stars.

Chaos: The Manson Murders | Netflix | Documentary, true crime

Movie, Friday, March 7: Esteemed investigative documentarian Errol Morris (The Thin Blue Line; Fast, Cheap, & Out of Control) turns his attention to cult leader Charles Manson and his family of acid-addled followers. The story of the Manson Family’s murder spree is already well-told, but Morris based this doc on the book CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties (2019, William Heinemann Ltd.). The tome and film are a rebuttal of the official story, examining new information—like ties to the CIA’s mind-control experiments—and seeking answers to questions about Manson’s real friends in Hollywood and why law enforcement never acted on early opportunities to stop Manson.

YOLO: Rainbow Trinity | Adult Swim, Max | Adult animation, comedy

Third season premiere, Sunday, March 9, Midnight ET: Smiling Friends co-creator Michael Cusack brings us the third installment of what the official Adult Swim synopsis (probably written by Cusack) cheekily says is, “arguably in the top ten intellectual properties owned by Warner Bros. Discovery!” After YOLO: Crystal Fantasy and YOLO: Silver Destiny, party girls Sarah and Rachel continue their crazy adventures in Wollongong, Australia. The press release says YOLO’s third outing is the perfect season to dive in, promising “fun and interesting things” as well as more of Cusack’s silly songs. The wacky PR continues: “It’s soooo weird, zany and silly!!! The visuals are epic too. I hope you check this DUMB cartoon out 😛 hahaha. This is gonna be SO COOL . . . The weirdness and strangeness is OUT. OF. CONTROL in this new series!! LETS GOOO hahah!! WEE!! ASDNJKISADIAOSD.”

The Righteous Gemstones | HBO, Max | Comedy

Season four premiere, Sunday, March 9, 10 p.m. ET/PT: Friends, today is a sad but glorious day. The fourth season of creator/writer/executive producer/star Danny McBride’s televangelism-skewering HBO Original comedy series premieres tonight—and it’s also the show’s final season. Don’t ask why; God (McBride) works in mysterious ways. Take comfort because when God closes a door, he opens a window (or something like that). We interpret that to mean when one brilliant McBride show (like Eastbound & Down, praise God) ends, another is born. After tonight’s premiere, the season’s remaining eight episodes arrive weekly—first live on HBO, then streaming on Max.

Dark Winds | AMC, AMC+ | Drama, thriller

Season three premiere, Sunday, March 9, 9 p.m. ET: The third season of AMC’s acclaimed thriller finds Lt. Joe Leaphorn (Westworld’s Zahn McClarnon) and Sgt. Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon) investigating the disappearance of a Navajo boy, while an FBI agent starts looking into a case from Leaphorn’s recent past. Also, newly minted border patrol agent Bernadette Manuelito (Jessica Matten) makes a sinister discovery. The series premieres on AMC, AMC+, BBC America, and Sundance TV simultaneously tonight, with new episodes arriving weekly.
