Welcome to The TV Cave’s Daily TV Guide, where we dig through the streaming trenches and prime-time jungle so you don’t have to. Whether you're a binger, a channel surfer, or still pretending you're only watching “one episode”—we see you—we’ve got your must-see lineup covered. Today’s menu: zombies, spies, animated existential crises, and Brian Cox playing puppet master. Let’s dive in.

🎬 STREAMING DROPS YOU SHOULDN’T SNOOZE ON

🕵️‍♂️ “007: Road to a Million” (Season 2) – Prime Video

Streaming Now – All 8 Episodes

Brian Cox returns to terrorize... we mean guide... contestants in another globetrotting gauntlet of death-defying challenges, emotional breakdowns, and strategic fumbles. Think Amazing Race meets Saw, but with tuxedos and Bond references.🔑

🛡️ “Chief of War” – Apple TV+

Kaʻiana’s back and he brought drama. A cutthroat competition threatens his standing, and Keōua isn’t just sending fruit baskets.

🧛 “Dexter: Resurrection” – Paramount+ Premium

Batista is this close to blowing the lid off Dexter’s bloody secret. Episode 7 is a game-changer. And yes, we ranked every Dexter season so you don’t have to suffer through Season 6 again

🚗 “Eenie Meanie” (Movie Premiere) – Hulu

Samara Weaving drives like a badass and punches like one too. A messy ex-boyfriend, a past she can’t outrun, and a neon-noir getaway flick we didn’t know we needed.

🌌 “Foundation” – Apple TV+

New Terminus is falling apart (literally), while the Trantor boys are playing space politics. Epic, chaotic, and full of sci-fi jargon—just how we like it.

👽 “Invasion” (Season 3 Premiere) – Apple TV+

Earth’s a hot mess (again) and Trevante is not ready. Jamila’s trying to adapt but, honestly, same girl.

🐺 “Night of the Zoopocalypse” – Peacock

Zombie zoo animals. That’s it. That’s the pitch. Featuring the voices of David Harbour and Gabbi Kosmidis, this animated horror-comedy is either your new obsession or a future cult classic.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 “Long Story Short” – Netflix

From the twisted genius behind BoJack Horseman, this time-hopping animated family saga delivers all the feels, laughs, and existential dread you didn’t ask for but secretly love.

🎭 “The Truth About Jussie Smollett?” – Netflix

A deep-dive doc with all the receipts: cops, lawyers, journalists, and Jussie himself unpacking that incident. Spoiler: no one agrees.

🌒 PRIMETIME PICKS (8PM – 11PM ET)

🏰 “Outlander: Blood of My Blood” – Starz | 8PM

Henry’s on a mission, Ellen’s family is sus, and Highland drama is at an all-time high. Period romance with a side of political intrigue? Yes, please.

💃 “Magic City: An American Fantasy” (Ep. 2) – Starz | 9PM

Old Hollywood glam, legendary icons, and rising stars collide. Think The Great Gatsby if Gatsby had a VIP table in Miami.

🏈 “Not So Fast, My Friend: A Lee Corso Special” – ESPN | 9PM

A heartfelt tribute to college football’s most beloved mascot-wearer and sideline philosopher. Even if you don’t like football, you’ll probably tear up.

⚖️ “The Rainmaker” – USA Network | 10PM

Rudy and Deck get into it with a witness and stumble upon something big. Legal drama? Check. Matt Damon nostalgia? Double check.

TL;DR – Today’s Must-Watch List

• Binge-worthy: 007: Road to a Million, Long Story Short, Invasion

• One-off thrills: Eenie Meanie, The Truth About Jussie Smollett?

• Prime-time drama: Outlander: Blood of My Blood, The Rainmaker

• Fun & WTF picks: Night of the Zoopocalypse, Magic City
