Amy Schumer Stand-Up, ‘Father Brown’ Mysteries, NY Subway Series, Atlanta’s ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ Finds New Home

Special

The naughty cherub-looking comedian returns to Netflix for a third time with a stand-up special filmed at L.A.’s Orpheum Theatre. She regales a crowd with uncomfortably personal wisecracks about post-parenthood intimacy issues with her spouse (also her “emergency contact”), with riffs on facial lasering and chewable Viagra, among other bluer-than-blue topics.

Season Premiere

For those of gentler persuasions, the U.K.’s cozy rural mystery series about a crime-solving priest (Mark Williams) in the Cotswolds is back for a 10th season, with two episodes premiering weekly. A new season heralds the return of Tom Chambers as Chief Inspector Sullivan and a new housekeeper, Brenda (Ruby-May Martinwood), to help Father Brown in his amateur but invariably spot-on sleuthing. The first case involves the murders of two council members opposed to a proposed housing development. The second sets Father Brown and Parish Secretary Mrs. Devine (Claudie Blakey) on the path to discover who murdered the shady owner of a gentlemen’s club.
