Friday on TV – 7/31/20

Overnight was the complete first season premiere of Brassic on Hulu. Following the exploits of Vinnie (Joseph Gilgun, Preacher), a Lancashire lad with bipolar disorder, and Dylan, his razor-smart best mate. Inseparable and utterly co-dependant, these boys have hardly spent a day apart since birth. Also starring Michelle Keegan (Coronation Street), Damien Molony (GameFace), and Dominic West (The Wire, The Affair).
 
Overnight was also the complete first season premiere of Get Even on Netflix. In a secret act of skillful revenge, four private school classmates team up and work together to expose a string of schoolwide injustices. It stars Kim Adis, Mia McKenna-Bruce, & Bethany Antonia.
 
Overnight was also the complete limited series premiere of The Last Narc on Amazon. This provocative four-part docuseries centers on the most notorious murder in the history of the DEA – the 1985 kidnapping and murder of DEA Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena. The series tells the story of a fallen hero, the men who killed him, and the one man who risked everything to find out what really happened and why. Highly decorated special agent Hector Berrellez, who was assigned to lead the DEA’s investigation of Camarena’s murder, peels back the layers of myth and propaganda to reveal the bone-chilling truth about a conspiracy that stretches from the killing fields of Mexico to the halls of power in Washington, D.C. Berrellez’s powerful testimony appears alongside that of Camarena’s brave widow, as well as three Guadalajara Cartel insiders. These men were corrupt Jalisco State policemen who, at the time of Camarena’s murder, served as bodyguards to legendary drug lords Rafael Caro Quintero and Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo. Eventually, they became informants for Berrellez and helped him crack the most infamous murder of the War on Drugs.
 
Overnight was the series premiere of Muppets Now on Disney+. Forty years after leaving the swamp in his big screen debut in The Muppet Movie, Kermit the Frog is heading upstream with Miss Piggy and the gang, bringing a new kind of mayhem and laughter to Disney+ with their first-ever unscripted short-form series.
