Updated:2025-01-12 02:46    Views:172

Between streaming and cablelodi casino, there is a seemingly endless variety of things to watch. Here is a selection of TV shows and specials that are available live or streaming this week, Jan. 6-12. Details and times are subject to change.

A populist showman

He grew up in Queens and went on to become a reality TV star who cast a long cultural shadow — and no, I don’t mean the former and future president Donald J. Trump. Jerry Springer made a name for himself in the 1990s as the host of “The Jerry Springer Show,” which became synonymous with spectacles of family drama, lovers quarrels, brawling guests and, at times, flying chairs.

Springer, who died in 2023 at the age of 79, didn’t live to see the summary of his career in the new Netflix two-part, behind-the-scenes series, “Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action.” But if he once had us clutching our pearls, we may now be reaching for tissues, as the show’s insiders and guests’ relatives discuss an unseen part of Springer’s legacy and the costs of such tell-all television. Streaming on Tuesday on Netflix.

The drama “Landman” concludes its first season this week after 10 episodes of Billy Bob Thornton’s titular character trying to outmaneuver drug cartels, oil tycoons and his ex-wife. In a profile on Thornton, the New York Times television editor Austin Considine described “Landman” as “a male fantasy about roughnecks and the unrealistically attractive women who love them.” After all, what says hardcore quite like amputating your own fingertip with a pocketknife? Streaming Sunday on Paramount+.

Calls for school crackdowns have mounted with reports of cyberbullying among adolescents and studies indicating that smartphones, which offer round-the-clock distraction and social media access, have hindered academic instruction and the mental health of children.

Overall, violent crime fell 3 percent and property crime fell 2.6 percent in 2023, with burglaries down 7.6 percent and larceny down 4.4 percent. Car thefts, though, continue to be an exception, rising more than 12 percent from the year before.

Thornton is hardly the only brooding leading man this week. In “The Agency,” Michael Fassbender plays a C.I.A. case officer who survived undercover operations only to suffer now a sedated life in London. An adaptation of the French series “The Bureau,” the show neatly ties in contemporary current events. The show is, among other things, a romantic drama, but it concerns itself mostly with the corrosive effects of espionage on spies themselves. Airing Sunday at 9 p.m. on Showtime and available to stream on Paramount+.
