Here is a selection of TV shows and specials that are available live or streaming this week, Jan. 13-19. Details and times are subject to change.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-1u37br4 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-2bce061b\">Office space<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Apple TV+ drama \u201c<strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Severance<\/strong>\u201d combines the most mundane aspects of the corporate office with a decidedly uncanny premise. Here, severance refers not to compensation but rather to a form of on-the-clock memory wiping that separates workers from their off-hours consciousness. The actor Adam Scott (\u201cParks and Recreation\u201d) plays a grieving widower and an employee at the fictional Lumon Industries who opted to undergo the procedure for reasons that became clearer in the first season, which aired in 2022. Escape your own office drama with the second season\u2019s premiere this week. <em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">Streaming on Apple TV+ on Friday<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-1u37br4 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-f9b692\">Prepper-core finale<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201c<strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Silo<\/strong>\u201d is a dystopian series that conjures the grimmest moments of a Cormac McCarthy novel. The main silo is an underground concrete structure where some 10,000 people must survive the strict edicts of their postapocalyptic society. Rebecca Ferguson, already a sci-fi favorite as Lady Jessica in \u201cDune,\u201d has swapped her Bene Gesserit robes for combat boots and cargo pants in her starring role as Juliette, an engineer who becomes a silo sheriff. <em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">Streaming on Apple TV+ on Friday.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-1u37br4 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-6c5a4dc0\">The Sean Combs trial<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The rapper Sean Combs, also known as Diddy and Puff Daddy, is set to have a high-profile trial this spring <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/27\/arts\/music\/sean-combs-diddy-denied-bail.html\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">for sex trafficking and racketeering charges.<\/a> A new documentary, \u201c<strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy<\/strong>,\u201d offers a refresher on his early life and reputation through interviews with Combs\u2019s associates, including a body guard, a makeup artist and an intern. <em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">Streaming Tuesday on Peacock.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-1u37br4 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-1fcd22c9\">A Delhi procedural<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The first season of \u201c<strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Paatal Lok<\/strong>\u201d opens with police officers driving around the streets of Delhi in this gritty crime thriller. The show, whose title translates to \u201cnetherworld,\u201d offers viewers a vision of just that. When four individuals are seemingly caught red-handed in an assassination attempt of a high-profile journalist, a washed-up local policeman, played by Jaideep Ahlawat, is tasked with taking on the investigation. But what seems to be a clear-cut case ends up leading Ahlawat, Dante-like, ever deeper into Delhi\u2019s criminal networks, which extends to the city\u2019s echelons of power. The series offers a drive-by view of greater rifts in Indian society, and the second season promises as many twists and turns as the first. <em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">Streaming Thursday on Amazon Prime Video.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-1u37br4 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-275607ec\">\u2018More cowbell\u2019<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d turns 50 this year, and networks love few things more than the chance to celebrate their own successes. NBC\u2019s four-part series \u201c<strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night<\/strong>,\u201d with the first episode airing this week, includes interviews with cast mainstays like Kenan Thompson and alumni like Amy Poehler as well as behind-the-scenes looks at some of S. N. L\u2019s most storied segments. If you have unanswered questions about the cowbell sketch or want to hear more anecdotes about the weekly mad dash to showtime, this will be one of the year\u2019s first \u2014 though certainly not last \u2014 chances to do so. <em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">Streaming on Peacock on Thursday<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-1u37br4 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-7acc14e9\">Nature\u2019s bounty<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">\u201cA Real Bug\u2019s Life<\/strong>\u201d will start its second season this week, offering an up-close view of our planet\u2019s insects. Although the show\u2019s title offers a nod to the 1998 animated feature \u201cA Bug\u2019s Life,\u201d the series from National Geographic is instead real-world footage. It\u2019s like \u201cPlanet Earth,\u201d but instead of Sir David Attenborough\u2019s dulcet tones, you have the zany commentary of the comedian Awkwafina. Whether you\u2019re basking in nature\u2019s wonders or combating your own entomophobia through exposure therapy, this series is a family-friendly viewing option. <em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">Streaming on Disney+ on Wednesday<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201c<strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Guy\u2019s Grocery Games<\/strong>\u201d is back with another supermarket aisle-staged episode, and this week\u2019s challenge has the tantalizing title: \u201cMasters of Cheese.\u201d Watch Guy Fieri bark orders at a crew of chefs, his spiky hair framed against a box of Betty Crocker cake mix. The show, now in its 38th season, has the feel of a gonzo \u201cThe Great British Bake Off,\u201d and is similarly good humored. If you fancy some high-octane domestic entertainment, watch four chefs go head-to-head in this cheesy competition. <em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">Airing Wednesday at 9 p.m. on the Food Network.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/13\/arts\/television\/severance-tv-this-week.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Between streaming and cable, there is a seemingly endless variety of things to watch.
