Jordan Peeleâs The Twilight Zone returns for Season 2 on CBS All Access. Plus HBO Max puts up new seasons of shows that didnât start on HBO Max but now are HBO Max exclusives, including the great Search Party.
Hello!
HBO Max launched a month ago, but it didn’t start really cooking with new material until this week. Today new seasons of well-liked but under-seen shows that started elsewhere – Search Party, previously on TBS, and Doom Patrol, originally on obscure streaming service DC Universe – launch on HBO Max, hoping to get a bump from HBO Max’s increased visibility. Hopefully it works, because they’re good shows. Additionally, yesterday was the day the South Park archive launched on the service, minus [five controversial episodes]( that depict the Prophet Muhammad. If you need recommendations for episodes of that long-running comedy to watch, check out this ranking of the [20 best episodes]( I wrote for the Season 20 premiere a few years ago. Here are tonight’s TV picks. -[Liam](

Season 2 now on CBS All Access
Jordan Peele’s revival of the iconic anthology series is back for a new season, with all 10 episodes now streaming. It features one episode, “Downtime,” that’s the first episode fully written by host and executive producer Peele himself (he shared a “story by” credit on one Season 1 episode). And as you’ve come to expect from The Twilight Zone, the season’s cast includes some of your TV faves, including Billy Porter, Joel McHale, Christopher Meloni, Jimmi Simpson, Jenna Elfman, Tony Hale, Gillian Jacobs, Topher Grace, and Damon Wayans Jr. Cue that “doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo” theme.

[Stop searching, watch Search Party](
Season 3 now on HBO Max
It's been two and a half years since Season 2 of Search Party ended on TBS, but it still serves as one of the best programs to capture (and playfully make fun of!) the millennial generation. After spending the first two seasons looking for a missing person and getting into a little murder, four friends, led by Alia Shawkat's Dory, reckon with their actions when the law comes looking for them. Search Party's greatest asset is its unique tone, which takes a few episodes to ease into, but once you recognize the series' ability to bob and weave through comedy and drama, [it becomes a highly addictive binge](. The new season features new cast members Michaela Watkins, Louie Anderson, and a scene-stealing performance from Shalita Grant as Dory's ditzy lawyer. -Tim Surette
Doom goes the bynamite
[Doom Patrol takes it to the Max](
Season 2 premiere now on HBO Max
The best part of the never-ending oversaturation of superhero shows and movies in our lives is that there are finally superhero shows for people who don't really like superhero shows. The CW's DC's Legends of Tomorrow and Amazon's The Boys immediately come to mind, but don't sleep on Doom Patrol, which was pretty much undiscovered as a DC Universe exclusive in Season 1, but moves to HBO Max for Season 2. Doom Patrol follows a real ragtag group of unstable superheroes — one's a robot, another is a starlet with stretchy, gooey limbs, for example — all of whom have been disfigured in someway by their powers, but use that commonality to team up together to fight whatever evil is out there. It's a weird one, leaning into comedy and fun visuals, but it still pulls off wonderful character arcs. In Season 2, the group gets shrunk and fights rats while trying to keep control of their leader's daughter, whose imagination turns out to be the strongest power of all of them. The first three episodes are online now. -Tim Surette

[Travel to Adventure Time: Distant Lands - BMO](
Now on HBO Max
Adventure Time, the Cartoon Network animated series equally beloved by kids and grown-ups, returns as a series of one-off specials on HBO Max following a different character from the original show. The first is about Finn and Jake’s friend BMO, the fun-loving sentient computer that kinda looks like a Game Boy crossed with an old Macintosh. In this special, BMO is the chosen one tasked with saving a failing planet, which is not the kind of job BMO is generally suited for. Usually BMO is more of a flashlight or alarm clock. Will BMO save the day? Probably!
