What starts as a fairly standard (quarantine) hometown episode abruptly veers into one of the most intense and confounding Bachelorette breakups… ever. —Kristen Baldwin

Docuseries Debut
Breaking news: HBO has a new docuseries about KPVM in the small desert town of Pahrump, Nev., which is looking to break into the much bigger neighboring television market of Las Vegas. It's gonna cost a lot of money and take a lot of work — including a new broadcasting tower, figuring out new ways to generate ad revenue, and reporting beyond their local interests. Follow these colorful characters — station owner Vernon "Vern" Van Winkle, his singer-songwriter wife Ronda, their anchors/reporters, engineers, and more — as they navigate the expansion in the months leading up to the 2020 Presidential Election. The political climate inside the station is just as hot as the desert around them. —Gerrad Hall
