Tonight's Top Pick is Part One of Seen & Heard: The History of Black Television, premiering at 9 p.m. on HBO. I like that it appears to be more than just a recounting of the usual stories and people, and I really like that this isn't being limited to just one installment. Needless to say, this was an easy choice to make.
STREAMING
Only Murders in the Building, 12:01 a.m., Hulu. Fifth season premiere. "Nail in the Coffin," "After You," and "Rigor." " While investigating Lester's mysterious 'accidental' death, the clues lure Charles, Oliver and Mabel out of Manhattan - and straight into some dangerous new 'old' territory." Next, "a look back at Lester's early days at the Arconia reveals how a young dreamer became a steadfast doorman - sacrificing his future to protect the residents from the building's secrets." After, "the trio stumbles upon a crucial piece of evidence - and promptly compromises it. With time running out, they scramble to solve the mystery before the police close in on them." Three episodes available, followed by one per week through Tuesday, Oct. 28.
Thirst Trap: The Fame. The Fantasy. The Fallout., 3:01 a.m., Paramount+. Series premiere. "When 21-year-old William White posted a lip-synching video to TikTok, he hardly expected to become an internet sensation overnight. Sparking a 'thirst trap' obsession with lovesick fans, the line between real connection and online fantasy was blurred as gained millions of fans. What first seemed like innocent interactions with self-formed fan-clubs for White, turned into jealousy, blackmail and betrayal by the fans who were determined to watch his every move online. With exclusive interviews with William's super fans, and William himself, Thirst Trap is a powerful exploration of internet culture, obsession and identity in the modern age."
Guts & Glory, 3:01 a.m., AMC+ and Shudder. Series premiere. "Guts & Glory flips the script on the traditional competition show - thrusting players into an immersive horror experience full of unexpected challenges.

Two episodes available, followed by one per week through Tuesday, Oct. 7.
