The biggies
Monster: The Ed Gein Story (Netflix, Friday, 3:01 a.m.)
In round three of their true-crime series Monster, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan dive into the life of murderer Ed Gein (Charlie Hunnam), whose chilling crimes inspired Psycho, among many other films. So yes, expect to see Alfred Hitchcock (Tom Hollander) pop up, along with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre director Tobe Hopper (Will Brill).
Chad Powers (Hulu, Tuesday, 12:01 a.m.)
Loki‘s Michael Waldron and Glen Powell created this sports comedy, which was inspired by (of all things) an Eli Manning bit. The series centers on a quarterback whose career takes a nosedive after an outburst. To jump back into the game years later, he disguises himself and starts playing for a college team in Georgia. Steve Zahn and Toby Huss co-star. Read The A.V. Club‘s review.
Also airing
Murder Before Evensong (Acorn TV, Monday, 3:01 a.m.)
