Wormwood
Netflix, Friday
Documentary filmmaker Errol Morris takes a trip into semi-scripted fare in this six-part miniseries, which follows a man's 60-year investigation into the death of his father (Peter Sarsgaard). The mystery may be tied to the government, and the series follows the sometimes bizarre twists and turns.

A Christmas Story Live!
Fox, Sunday, 7 ET/PT
Get your leg lamps and sweaters ready, because little Ralphie Parker is coming to your screens, live (on the East Coast). Fox, which aired its last musical, Grease Live!, in 2016, has a new version of the holiday classic based on the recent Broadway musical adaptation. It may be a bit different than what fans of the 1983 film remember, but it has a stellar cast including Maya Rudolph and Matthew Broderick, and some extra songwriting power from La La Land's Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
Search Party
TBS, Sunday, 10 ET/PT
The second season of this dark comedy, about a group of wayward twentysomethings overly involved in solving the disappearance of a college acquaintance, has been even darker, but also bolder and more gut-punching. The season finishes up tonight with two episodes, as the gang attempts to get $60,000 to a blackmailer before time runs out. Their wild attempts lead to mistaken identities and tasers, which isn't that unusual.
