A colorful British detective show will brighten your day, a quirky Netflix original film bends genres and dabbles in mental illness, and HBO plays host to one of the wildest movies of the year.
Hello!
Half of Hollywood is hungover in a post-Oscars haze and probably can’t even remember what happened last night. Well, Colin Jost, sort your memories out with [our GIF recap of the Academy Awards]( because we all need to see James Corden and Rebel Wilson dressed as cats batting at a microphone stand again. Or you can take a look at [the winners list]( find out [why Eminem performed “Lose Yourself,”]( or see who the [Oscars left off the In Memoriam segment](. We’ve also collected all the details on [where to watch this year’s Oscar nominees]( if some winners piqued your interest. Or if you’d rather just stick to TV, you can do that too! Here are tonight’s TV picks. –Tim

[9-1-1: Lone Star](
[The 9-1-1 franchise delivers its grossest emergency yet](
Monday at 8/9c on FOX
As if hunky firefighters hauling 300 feet of hose wasn’t manly enough, Fox’s 9-1-1: Lone Star is taking things to the next level by injecting even more testosterone into the emergencies tonight. In the episode appropriately called “Studs,” the crew of Station 126 will be called on to calm a brawl at a male strip club and squash male toxicity at a protest. But it’s the third emergency that has us really questioning every single decision that has led to this point: Rob Lowe’s gang will be fighting a fire at… [a bull semen factory](. Our stomachs are churning just at the thought of the smell.

NOT YOUR TYPICAL BRITISH CRIME DRAMA
[Agatha Raisin](
[Agatha Raisin will brighten your day](
Season 3 U.S. premiere Monday on Acorn TV
Not all British murder mysteries have to be doomy and gloomy – Acorn TV's Agatha Raisin is proof of that. The series starring Ashley Jensen as a sassy, extremely well-dressed P.I. in the rural, hilly Cotswolds returns for its third season of wacky antics today, and Agatha is now a professional private detective – she has her license and her own brightly colored office and everything! The new season features three feature-length installments, the first of which involves Agatha investigating a death threat made against a young bride-to-be. Perhaps what's most important is that Agatha Raisin & the Deadly Dance also stars Coyote Ugly's Adam Garcia, and he shows off his dancing skills. (Ed. note: Kaitlin wrote this blurb, not Tim, and it shows.) Anyway, the new season isn't all fun and jokes and great purses; Agatha and James, who just got back together at the end of Season 2, appear to be headed down different paths as the season progresses. –Kaitlin Thomas
WHOA, HORSEY!
[Horse Girl](
[Get lost in the bewildering trappings of Horse Girl](
Now on Netflix
If you’re still high off of Parasite’s Best Picture win last night at the Oscars because you love movies that go in unpredictable directions, take a look at the Netflix original film Horse Girl, an [indie that refuses to stay in its own lane](. Hell, it refuses to define what a lane is. The film, which is only tangentially about horses, starts off as a cute low-budget film about an adorably quirky young woman named Sarah (Alison Brie, in her best performance yet) before veering into a near-thriller possibly involving different planes of consciousness and aliens, and finally settling into a serious drama about Sarah’s possible mental illness. Brie, who also co-wrote the film, steadily shows signs of cracking as the movie goes on, and because everything is told from her point of view, reality becomes obliterated. Is it a cute, bright comedy? A challenging, dark drama? An exploration of the human mind? Yes, yes, and yes.
AHH, TO BE YOUNG AND DUMB AGAIN
[Ma](
[Party with the ridiculous Ma](
Now on HBO and HBO's STREAMING APPS
Ma is what happens when an idea goes too far in the development process because no one has the guts to question it. But the film, from mass-production horror-movie mavens Blumhouse, has a fun grindhouse quality to it whether that was intentional or not. The crackpot premise is brought to life by Oscar-winning actress Octavia Spencer (who also helped create it), who plays a lonely woman who lets high schoolers party in her house in order to feel the sense of popularity she never got during her own time in high school. Of course she starts to terrorize them and things go so far off the rails you’ll wonder how it ever got made. But what makes it more than just a hate-watch is the nail-biting atmosphere, which is genuinely creepy. Ever see Octavia Spencer pop up from behind a door and cold-cock a high school jock? Don’t expect a horror classic, but do enjoy Spencer dancing in her party basement created just to attract half the senior class to her crib.
