A hulu documentary shows off what the kids are doing on the internet these days, a Netflix series adds business to a cooking competition, and a baseball movie uses kids to explain steroids.
Hello!
This weekend, fans converged on D23, Disney’s convention for fans of Star Wars, the Marvel Universe, and everything else that the Mouse House owns. There was lots of news from all of Disney’s properties, but none was bigger than the [new details of Disney’s upcoming streaming service, Disney+](. In addition to a [trailer for the Star Wars series The Mandalorian]( and a [new Lizzie McGuire show]( Disney revealed that it would release its streaming shows weekly instead of the all-at-once drop popularized by Netflix. Is this a move back to the traditional model of how we watched TV? As someone whose watchlist has been piling up into something unmanageable, I’m relieved. How about you? Here are tonight’s TV picks. –Tim

WATCH THIS NOW!
[Jawline](
[Jawline shows what kids are really doing on the internet](
Now on Hulu
As an “old,” I don’t really understand the social media phenomenon, and after watching the slightly unnerving but also fascinating Jawline, I understand it even less. Jawline follows 16-year-old Austyn Tester as he tries to become a well-known live-streamer and social media influencer to escape his rural life in Tennessee, and the film’s statement is that growing up as a teen in an increasingly digitized life is hell, but it can also be the only salvation they have from real-world dangers. You’ll get an education in teen boy idolatry (did you know many of these live-streamers have brand-building managers who are only a few years older than them?), but the fun of watching comes from Austyn himself. His desire for fame comes from a seemingly sincere place as he genuinely wants to help spread positivity across the world, but he also has his eyes on the money and notoriety that comes with it. Is he a real-life [Chase Dreams from The Other Two]( or is he another fame-seeker about to spiral down the drain of fleeting fame?
TRUE HORROR
[The Devil You Know](
[The Devil You Know is terrifying true crime](
Series premieres Tuesday at 10/9c on Viceland
With all the true-crime shows about murders out there, it takes a real whopper of a story to stand out from the crowd. Well, let Viceland tell you the story of Pazuzu Algarad, a Manson-esque Satanist who attracted his followers through drugs and raunchy parties and who was arrested in 2014 after two bodies were found at his home in North Carolina. The details of the case certainly stand out — Algarad’s house was a non-stop clothing-optional black metal and poop party — but The Devil You Know turns the focus on the social and justice systems that allowed the murders to happen through negligence. [The first episode is also on YouTube](.
OUT OF THE KITCHEN...
[Million Pound Menu](
[Million Pound Menu puts amateur restaurateurs into the fire](
Now on Netflix
It’s nice of cooking shows like [Chopped]( and [Chef’s Table]( to show the passion and ingenuity that goes into making a pipin’ hot meal, but let’s be real: Nothing tastes better than cold, hard cash. The Manchester-set import Million Pound Menu adds the business side of restaurants to the equation by throwing amateur chefs into a pop-up restaurant to present their culinary ideas to potential investors in a test-run setting. It’s a cooking show blended with Shark Tank, where everything has to come together for the chefs to get the funding they need to plate their dreams. Don’t expect an education in ingredients; this one is for the business majors.
LITTLE LEAGUE
[Screwball](
[Screwball is The Sandlot for steroids in baseball](
Now on Netflix
The 2018 documentary Screwball was quietly released on Netflix earlier this month, but it hasn’t aged a bit… mostly because of its unique approach to the documentary format. Screwball details the 2013 steroid scandal in baseball by reenacting key moments with kids playing the adults. It’s a total gimmick, but we’ll allow it because 10-year-old boys playing grown-up versions of Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez, and steroid-pushers is funny, plain and simple. Beyond that, Screwball is an entertaining film about shady Floridians who peddled illegal human-growth hormone, the ballplayers who juiced up to get an advantage, and the journalists who cracked the underground ring that changed professional sports. The film was an audience favorite when it did the festival circuit last year because of its fun tone and some wonderful wigs thrown on these kids.
