TV shows now available to stream
‘The Mortician’
HBO’s new three-part docuseries “The Mortician” debuts on Sunday night, telling the macabre tale of a family-run California funeral home. The series centers around David Sconce, who took over the family business in the ‘80s, engulfing it in scandal through illegal and ethically dubious practices like mass cremating bodies and stealing from the deceased. “The Mortician” features interviews with former employees, families of victims, and Sconce himself, who gives his side of the story after being released on parole in 2023. Streams on Max beginning Sunday
‘Death Valley’
British detective mysteries are a dime a dozen, but “Death Valley,” debuting on BritBox this week, puts a fresh twist on the genre. The series stars Timothy Spall (“The King’s Speech,” the “Harry Potter” movies) as a retired actor who gained acclaim for his role as a popular TV detective, but now lives a reclusive life in the Welsh countryside. However, he gets roped into real-life murder mysteries thanks to an ambitious detective sergeant (Gwyneth Keyworth), who wants to team up in order to keep her career afloat. Available on BritBox
