Our Channel Surfing TV picks this week have a little something for everyone. If you’re into religious thrillers, why not give The Envoys a try. For some holiday family fun, there is Merry Little Batman. Who doesn’t love a good heist? Then you should check out Culprits.
An Improbable Murder
The Envoys is a Spanish-language series that follows two priests who are in charge of investigating miracles from potential saints for the Vatican. Pedro Salinas is by the book and methodical in his work while Simón Antequera is more intuitive and has his own perspective. Though they have different approaches, they manage to balance each other out.
In the second season, the pair are sent to northwestern Spain to investigate a murder where the prime suspects are three blind nuns. Could these women really have committed a grisly killing? The deeper they dive, the higher the body count, and soon they must come to terms with both the mystical and more grounded aspects of their case.
The season two premiere of The Envoys is Thursday, December 7, on Paramount+.
Damian Saves Christmas
Fighting crime and saving the world is more than a full-time job so Bruce Wayne can’t be the attentive father he would like to be. In Merry Little Batman, the caped crusader gets called for a mission with the Justice League leaving his son, Damian, alone for the holidays.
Gotham’s bad guys use this opportunity to cause trouble throughout the city ruining people’s Christmas. Damian takes the opportunity to follow his legacy as a protector and become “Little Batman.” Joker, Bane, Penguin, and the other villains better beware because this kid is coming to save the day.
Stream Merry Little Batman beginning Friday, December 8, on Prime Video.
You Can’t Outrun the Past
In Culprits, we catch up with a team of highly skilled criminals after they have completed their big life-changing heist. They have all moved on from their scandalous pasts, and have reintegrated back into normal society.
Unfortunately, they all get drawn back to that other life when a deadly assassin begins targeting each one. Now, they must come together to find out who this assailant is and their motives in order to protect themselves and their loved ones.
Watch the entire season of Culprits starting Friday, December 8, on Hulu.
