\u2018Obituary\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n When to watch:<\/strong> Now, on Hulu<\/a>.<\/p>\n This six-episode Irish series feels like a cross between \u201cDexter\u201d and \u201cWonderfalls,\u201d with blood lust and sweaters present in equal measure. Our murderous heroine is an intrepid obituary writer, Elvira (Siobh\u00e1n Cullen), who worries about her alcoholic father and thinks her crush might be more interested in her best friend. She also needs to drum up a little business, so she figures she might as well give into her lifelong urges and start offing people in her small town \u2014 just people who are already close to death, or folks who really deserve it, just as a little treat. Despite its dark themes, \u201cObituary\u201d is surprisingly fun, not gory horror or misery.<\/p>\n \u2018Connections\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n When to watch:<\/strong> Now, on Curiosity Stream<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cNever have so many people understood so little about so much,\u201d says James Burke in a 1978 episode of his British documentary series \u201cConnections.\u201d That remains one of the show\u2019s guiding lights \u2014 not that we are all dumb, but that there is so much to be learned about the world, and there are so many strange little details that lead to huge shifts in society. Burke has revived his show for the streaming age, with six new episodes about the way things change, maintaining the series\u2019s integrity and also its appetite for the offbeat. If your favorite shows are \u201cCosmos\u201d and \u201cHow To With John Wilson,\u201d watch this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u2018First Wives Club\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\u2026 a few hours, and I\u2019m curious.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
