The big winning documentary from Sundance finally comes home, the toys you grew up with get their spotlight via Netflix, and one of TVâs big late-night hosts heads across the ocean for some tomfoolery.
Hello!
Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle — an alternate history drama in which Germany and Japan won World War II — returned for its final season over the weekend, which means the show has no more use for a lot of the things it used in its production. Among the pile of props were a mountain of Nazi memorabilia created for the show, but don’t expect to see them on any auction site soon, like many shows do with items that won’t be used anymore. High Castle actress Chelah Horsdal [tweeted out a video]( showing that every Swastika used in the show is being destroyed and burned to eliminate the symbols of hate from the world. It’s a satisfying visual. Here are tonight’s TV picks. –Tim

[Sundance-winner One Child Nation looks at a dark time for China](
Now on Amazon Prime Video
The winner of the U.S. Grand Jury Prize for Documentaries at this year’s Sundance Festival comes home via Amazon, where it will probably be easier to watch in stunned silence rather than surrounded by others in a theater. The film looks at China’s controversial one-child policy, which forbade families from having more than one child (with an asterisk; rural families could have two if the firstborn was a girl) from the late 1970s to 2015 in an effort to control the country’s exploding population. Director Nanfu Wang, who was born under the policy, returns to China after becoming a mother herself to examine the ramifications of the law and talk to those who were affected by it, creating an insightful look into propaganda, government control, the atrocities some were forced to commit, and the issues that got China to the point in the first place. Be warned: Some of the scenes are very difficult to watch.
LATE NIGHT IS EARLY EVENING FOR OCEANIA

[Stephen Colbert goes to New Zealand](
Monday at 11:35/10:35c on CBS, and continuing all week
Conan O’Brien may have his passport stamped on a regular basis with his fun series of travelogues Conan Without Borders, but he’s in the wild world of cable, where the rules and regularity of late-night TV are different. That’s why it’s a pretty big deal that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is airing a weeklong look at Stephen Colbert’s recent trip to New Zealand, which includes interviews with the country’s prime minister, a visit to “Hobbiton” with Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson, and hikes across the extreme landscape. Back in the studio Monday night, he’ll have Adam Driver as his main guest and The 1975 playing some tunes.
I DON’T WANNA GROW UP

[Come play with The Toys That Made Us](
Season 3 now on Netflix
Kids these days with their smartphones and virtual reality headsets and hoverboards will never understand that the toys we ‘80s and ‘90s kids grew up obsessing over were better than anything they’ll ever play with. This docuseries taps into nostalgia and looks at the toys that made the decades before the millenium, with Season 3 devoting full episodes to My Little Pony (yeah, Bronies!), Power Rangers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and pro wrestling. The series smartly doesn’t take things too seriously, adding humor to its incredibly in-depth history of the brands that includes fun interviews with the people who actually made the toys.
SQUEAL IN HORROR
[Hometown Horror](
[Hometown Horror rolls in the mud with the legend of Pigman](
Series premiere Monday at 9/8c on Travel
Local folklore and ghost stories totally rule. Unlike the well-known myths about Bigfoot and Nessie that are constantly debunked, the truth about small-town legends is much more unclear, magnifying the terror and poking that part of our brain that really wants to believe. Travel’s new series Hometown Horror looks at these unexplained myths, kicking off with Angola, New York’s Pigman, a ghost (?) of a disfigured butcher who squeals like a pig, wields an axe, and has paranormal powers. The series has a slightly higher production value than you’re typically used to from shows like this, but mostly follows the tried-and-true formula of interviews with scared locals and dramatic reenactments of teens getting terrified. It’s not scientific in any way, but that’s fine because how can science explain a creature who decorates the woods with decapitated pig heads?
