Friday Night TV Picks: What Should You Watch?

If you want something new to stream before primetime even begins, Normal is an easy one to put on the radar. Bob Odenkirk as a small-town interim sheriff investigating a botched bank robbery and stumbling into an international crime conspiracy?

That's already a pretty convincing sales pitch.

For the mystery crowd, A Murder Between Friends brings murder, a country estate and a true crime TV star together for Lifetime Movie Network's latest original. Throw Joan Collins, Nadia Bjorlin and Jacob Young into the mix, and soap fans may want to make room for this one.

At 9 PM, Fightland continues its run on STARZ as Duke gets pulled further into the Marshalls' problems, while HBO offers something completely different with Whitmer Thomas' new comedy special. Then Anna Pigeon closes out the night at 10 PM on USA Network with another case taking a dangerous turn.

Streaming viewers aren't being ignored either. Silo has a new episode waiting on Apple TV, Peacock adds Girls Like Girls, Netflix premieres Don't Say Good Luck and The Roku Channel kicks off Season 4 of Honest Renovations with three episodes at once.

Whatever you choose, Friday has enough new TV to give that watchlist a little workout.
