Between streaming and cable, viewers have a seemingly endless variety of things to watch. Here is a selection of TV shows and specials that are airing or streaming this week, April 27 — May 4. Details and times are subject to change.
If you want to feel uneasy
You know the adage that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is? That is the realization that Mayor Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys) has in the new thriller-comedy
“Widow’s Bay.”
As the leader of a remote island that locals believe is cursed, Loftis tries to revive his small community and make it a tourist destination. But once he succeeds, the lurid, spooky and horrifying moments that were old tales whispered by townspeople start happening again. The first three episodes will air together, with subsequent ones releasing weekly until mid-June.
Begins streaming Wednesday on

In 1982, a multigenerational, magical realist saga set in Chile written by Isabel Allende was published. And now
“The House of the Spirits”
is getting a television version. The story follows the Trueba family across three generations as the family manages love, heartbreak, societal change and political unrest. Unlike the 1993 movie,
criticized for casting Meryl Streep and Winona Ryder in the Chilean roles
, this version is entirely in Spanish and stars Aline Kuppenheim, Fernanda Urrejola and Rochi Hernández. The episodes will air in three collections, with the first three episodes grouped together.
