Channel Surfing: Awesome TV picks for the week of 05/29/2023

Begin your June with some of our Channel Surfing TV picks.

As we transition from one month to another, our Channel Surfing TV picks continues to plug along. Prepare for more absurd comedy when I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson returns. See what Broadchurch would be if the crime drama had a funny edge with Deadloch. Then, The Weeknd steps away from music to star in his own series, The Idol.

It’s Showtime!

I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson became a much beloved sketch comedy show due to its strange and surreal humor. It is even critically acclaimed having won a Primetime Emmy and other accolades.

It’s the type of show you can’t even explain to others what it’s about; you just have to watch it. Even the latest trailer with its chaotic nature can’t give it justice. This season, expect special guests including Jason Schwartzman, Tim Meadows, Fred Armisen, Sam Richardson, Will Forte, Patti Harrison, Ayo Edebiri, Mitra Jouhari, Tim Heidecker, Beck Bennett, Biff Wiff, Conner O’Malley and Carmen Christopher.

Binge I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson season three beginning Tuesday, May 30, on Netflix.

A Sleepy Hamlet Rocked by Murder

Deadloch takes place in the small titular town in Tasmania. As preparations for the upcoming Winter Festival are underway, the mysterious death of a local has the authorities anxious to close the case. A by the book sergeant and resident is paired with a grizzled investigator from the big city specially called in for this mystery. As the mismatched pair make progress, they discover that the single death could be connected to something far bigger.

The series premiere of Deadloch is Friday, June 2, on Prime Video.

Becoming the Sexiest Pop Star

We all know The Weeknd for his musical career. He is one of the world’s best-selling artists and he has won numerous awards including four Grammys. Now the singer is turning his eye towards TV collaborating with Sam Levinson of Euphoria fame.
