How Much Watching Time Do You Have This Weekend?

‘Succession’
When to watch: Sunday at 9 p.m., on HBO and HBOMax.

Lacerating, profane and funny in a watch-through-your-fingers way, “Succession” returns for its final season. As Cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun) might say: “So it be. So it is.” The new season picks up as the Roy family patriarch, Logan (Brian Cox), has aligned with his son-in-law, Tom (Matthew Macfadyen), against his younger children Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Roman (Kieran Culkin). It’s like a chess match, if the chess pieces flew private jets and made off-color jokes. Who will win? Well, if the previous seasons are any indication, no one. Expect to be furiously entertained and possibly pushed toward a Marxist worldview.

… an hour, and I’m hungry for more.

‘Yellowjackets’
When to watch: Sunday at 9 p.m., on Showtime.

This audacious series returns for a second season of female trouble across two timelines. When we last left our teen soccer players in the 1990s, the queen bee Jackie had been iced out of the group (literally). Decades later, their adult counterparts had to contend with a suicide attempt, a kidnapping, dissociative identity disorder and an accidentally-on-purpose murder. Where could a show this beautifully deranged go from here? Judging from Season 1, everywhere. (A third season is already in the works.) Two new survivors join this year, Lauren Ambrose as the adult Van and Simone Kessell as the clairvoyant Lottie, all grown up. Episode 1 begins streaming for subscribers on Friday.

‘Up Here’
When to watch: Arrives Friday, on Hulu.

It’s a simple enough story. Girl meets boy. Girl hooks up with boy. Girl and boy find their romance repeatedly derailed by the voices in their heads. Did I mention that those voices sing? Based on a musical by the “Frozen” composers, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, directed by Thomas Kail (“Hamilton”) and overseen by Steven Levenson (“Dear Evan Hansen”), it stars Mae Whitman and Carlos Valdes, who meet skeezy outside a Manhattan bar bathroom in 1999 and fall in and out of love all the way till Y2K. Katie Finneran, John Hodgman and Andréa Burns star as some of the louder auditory hallucinations.
