#Bingewatch: Your #TV #show guide for February 25th – March 3rd
Rise and shine, bingewatcher. The Academy Awards may have left a few red-carpet memories in the rearview, but the week ahead still delivers a solid lineup of new thrillers, returning dramas, and anthology oddities worth carving out time for. Whether you are catching up on prestige cable or hunting down weekend binges, the schedule has enough variety to keep the remote busy.
Last week brought The Oath into a world of hidden gangs and backroom deals, while Whiskey Cavalier offered lighter spy fare and Desus & Mero kept the late-night conversation grounded. This stretch adds new entries from NBC and Amazon alongside the final stretch of a beloved fantasy series and a long-awaited science documentary. Here is the week-by-week guide.
The Enemy Within (NBC)
Airs Mondays from Feb. 25th, 2019. Erica Shepherd is infamous as the country’s most reviled traitor after she traded the names of four CIA operatives for the life of her daughter. Now serving life in a max security prison, she is reluctantly brought in to lend her codebreaking skills to track down an elusive and familiar international criminal. This gripping new thriller stars Jennifer Carpenter as Shepherd, co-starring with Morris Chestnut as her determined and reluctant partner. The series ran for a single 13-episode season before cancellation on May 30, 2019.
Shadowhunters (Freeform)
Season 3 continues Mondays from Feb. 25th, 2019. Mark the calendar for the final arc of demon hunters, vampires, and nightclub owners as the slick fantasy series closes out its run. The two-hour finale aired May 6, 2019, wrapping the story after the network had already announced the end of the series. Fans who pushed for more episodes can revisit the complete run on streaming.
Better Things (FX)
Season 3 airs Thursdays from Feb. 28th, 2019. Originally co-created by Pamela Adlon and Louis CK, the new season moved forward with Adlon and a new writing team after CK’s departure. The series follows Sam Fox, a working actress balancing auditions with raising three daughters on her own. Celia Imrie returns as Sam’s mother, and the season features a roster of memorable guest stars. Better Things ultimately ran five seasons through 2022.
Other Notable Premieres That Week
The late-February to early-March window brought additional midseason entries across broadcast and cable. Viewers could sample anthology horror on Hulu, limited British thrillers on Amazon, and documentary expansions on Fox and National Geographic. These releases filled out a crowded slate that rewarded selective bingewatch planning rather than blanket viewing.
Production and Creative Team Highlights
Behind the scenes, several of these projects leaned on established talent. James Roday Rodriguez directed the Into the Dark installment “Treehouse.” Pamela Adlon steered Better Things into its third season with a refreshed writers’ room. Neil deGrasse Tyson was originally attached to Cosmos: Possible Worlds before scheduling shifts moved the series to National Geographic. These credits added recognizable names to both returning and new titles.
Where to Stream These Shows Today
Availability has shifted since the original 2019 air dates. Shadowhunters and Better Things remain accessible on major platforms. Good Girls and The Widow cycle through catalog rotations or free ad-supported services. Leaving Neverland was removed from Max in 2024 and is currently unavailable on major U.S. services. Checking current libraries before planning a weekend marathon saves time.
Fan Reactions and Legacy
Shadowhunters kept an active fandom after cancellation, with viewers continuing to celebrate the cast and story online. Better Things earned steady critical praise across its full run. Good Girls developed a loyal audience that followed the series through four seasons. Retrospective interest often spikes when older seasons surface on new platforms, giving later viewers a chance to discover the shows on their own schedule.
Into the Dark: Treehouse (Hulu)
Aired March 1, 2019. The monthly horror anthology delivers another standalone story, this time directed by James Roday Rodriguez. Jimmi Simpson, Mary McCormack, and Stephanie Beatriz lead the cast. Details stayed under wraps until release, keeping the episode’s holiday tie-in a surprise for first-time viewers.
The Widow (Amazon)
Available on Amazon from March 1st, 2019. Kate Beckinsale stars as Georgia Wells, a woman who spots her presumed-dead husband in a news broadcast and travels to the Congo to uncover the truth. Charles Dance and Alex Kingston appear alongside Babs Olusanmokun. All eight episodes dropped at once, making the limited series an ideal single-weekend bingewatch.
Cosmos: Possible Worlds (Fox)
Aired Sundays from March 3rd, 2019. The follow-up to 2014’s Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey expands on Carl Sagan’s original series with updated visuals and new scientific territory. Originally eyed for a 2019 launch, the project was postponed and premiered March 9, 2020, on National Geographic. The delay allowed additional production time on effects sequences.
Good Girls (NBC)
Season 2 airs Sundays from March 3rd, 2019. Three single mothers turn to crime after a supermarket heist escalates into larger trouble. Christina Hendricks, Retta, and Mae Whitman lead the cast. The series ran four seasons total before ending in June 2021.
Leaving Neverland (HBO)
Part 1 airs March 3rd, Part 2 airs March 4th, 2019. The nearly four-hour documentary examines allegations from Wade Robson and Jimmy Safechuck against Michael Jackson. The two-part presentation drew strong reactions on both sides of the debate. The film was removed from Max in 2024 following a settlement with the Jackson estate and remains unavailable on major U.S. platforms.
The week offers a mix of fresh starts and final chapters. Whether the draw is a new thriller, a fantasy farewell, or a science series that finally reached screens, the lineup rewards viewers who plan their bingewatch around both new drops and catalog returns. Check current streaming options, clear the evening, and settle in.
