Three Shows to Watch This Week

Watching is The New York Times’s TV and film recommendation website. Sign up for
our thrice-weekly newsletter here.

I Like Horror Camp

Melanie Scrofano in “Wynonna Earp.”Michelle Faye/Syfy

‘Wynonna Earp’
When to watch: Now, on Netflix
Seasons 1 and 2 of this Syfy series are now streaming, and Season 3 starts July 20
— plenty of time to catch up, especially if you’re looking for a summery binge
that’s dramatic without being a bummer. If “Doctor Who” and “The Adventures
of Brisco County, Jr.” had a daughter, and she moved to Canada and watched
“Buffy” every day, she’d be “Wynonna Earp.” Legends and monsters, but also
jokes. (And sweaters.)

Melanie Scrofano stars as Wynonna, a descendant of Wyatt Earp and now the
person responsible for killing demons. Some of the internal mythology can be a
little too involved, but the characters’ motivations are always clear, and the
snarky dialogue is fun, even for more casual viewers.

I Can’t Take Any More Peppa Pig

‘Clangers’
When to watch: Now, on Netflix

William Shatner narrates this revival of the classic British children’s series about
a family of aliens. It’s exceedingly gentle, and the only talking is the narration:
The Clangers themselves speak only in emotionally-inflected slide whistle.
They’re little knit creatures — somewhere between pink anteater and mouse? —
and the aesthetics of the show incorporate other fiber craft and found objects. If
your child isn’t quite old enough for “Fraggle Rock,” or if your favorite part of
those “I Spy” books was fantasizing about setting up elaborate photo tableaux,
well, get clanging.

I Want a Relationship Dramedy

‘Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City’
When to watch: Now, on Acorn

“Tales” was made in the early 1990s, is set in the 1970s, and looks as if it were
filmed in 1800 on two candles and a potato. But set aside your modern-aesthetic
needs and give in to the lovely, wry stories about sex and self-actualization in
swinging San Francisco. If you’re looking for the precursor to “Looking” and “Sex
and the City,” or if you want something light that still feels somehow nutritious,
watch this.

Laura Linney stars as Mary Ann Singleton, who is fresh off the turnip truck from
Ohio when she rents a place from the funky, wise Anna Madrigal (Olympia
Dukakis) and delves into some fun but ill-fated romantic entanglements. “Tales”
has a loose, sometimes meandering vibe — there’s a lot of sex and drug use and
nudity, but also a lot of walks. The terrific cast includes Paul Gross, Parker Posey,
Thomas Gibson, Billy Campbell and Donald Moffat.

Acorn is now streaming the original six-hour mini-series that aired in Britain in
1993 and on PBS in 1994, but the subsequent seasons from Showtime aren’t
available yet. Netflix announced in April that it was producing a 10-episode
revival, with Linney and Dukakis already on board, scheduled for release next
year.
