In previous specials, Ali Wong has poked fun at getting married, having children and now, fittingly, divorce. Let's call it the cycle of modern life. The comedian's latest set, filmed at the Wiltern in Los Angeles during her sold-out Netflix Is a Joke Fest appearance last spring, delves into the ups and downs of a divorced mother's life, including dating. Wong even talks about how her now-boyfriend Bill Hader pursued her, although she jokes that she almost rejected him because she paid for a dating app: “I gotta get my money's worth!”

Premieres Tuesday, October 8th at 3pm ET Netflix

Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna have worked together several times since starring in 2001's “Y Tu Mamá También,” but have largely pursued separate careers in Hollywood. Now they're reunited in this boxing drama, Hulu's first Spanish-language original. Boxer Esteban “La Máquina” Osun (García Berna) is at rock bottom after a devastating loss, but his manager and best friend Andy Lujan (Luna) is determined to put him back on top with a high-profile fight. When they come into conflict with a nefarious organization, the battle has deadly consequences for the longtime friends.

Premieres Wednesday, October 9th at 12pm ET Hulu

“Abbott Elementary” Season 4 (ABC)

The will-they-or-won't-they romantic conflict between Janine (Quinta Brunson) and Gregory (Tyler James Williams) was finally resolved – they confessed their feelings for each other and kissed in the season three finale. What now? Her new status will certainly require some adjustment, both for her and her colleagues at Abbott. And as always, a new school year means new shenanigans, like pets in the classroom and (shudder) a case of ringworm. Education has many dangers.

Premieres Wednesday, October 9 at 9:30 p.m. ET on ABC (via loop or Fubo)

Forget prestige TV. Forget even the middle of TV. Sometimes I just want to indulge in a guilty pleasure. And that's exactly what “Outer Banks” is – just a vehicle for watching stupid, pretty people go on funny, completely unrealistic adventures. The third season finale ended with an 18-month flashback in which the Pogues received a lucrative and tempting offer to find Blackbeard's treasure. Season 4 does a flashback to show viewers how they got to this moment. After finding the gold in El Dorado, the Pogues return to their “normal” lives. Together they run a bait, fishing tackle and charter tour store. But after some financial setbacks, they decide to take part in the treasure hunt – which of course comes with new enemies on their heels.
