'The Good Daughter' and 7 more must-see shows for this week

What's worth watching on TV this week? It's the question we all ask ourselves, and beginning this moment, we'll get you some answers — a glance of some of the most notable, interesting and binge-worthy programs over the next seven days.

Monday

CHARMED BY A SOUTHERN MONSTER (Peacock) Starring Craig Conover (host of Bravo's long-running "Southern Charm") in his first scripted role, he plays Hunter, a possible murderer befriended by Nicole (Maeve Marchant) who needs his protection. This is the first Bravo-produced microdrama, the hot new short-form genre that's designed for mobile phone viewing. ("Southern Charm," by the way, returns Nov. 12 for a 12th season.)

Tuesday

WE CHOSE TO GO TO THE MOON (8 p.m., WNET/13) Multimedia historian John Monsky ("American History Unbound") brings his unique form of storytelling hybridization (music and words and much else) to the Carnegie Hall stage. This special about JFK's stated goal of landing a man on the moon was taped in April and features performances by Skylar Astin, Joy Woods ("Gypsy") and others; Ron Howard hosts.

GET HUGE: LOOKSMAXXING TO DEATH (Hulu) — Tony Huge is a self-described biohacker who has gained notoriety pushing "enhanced athlete" substances to build muscles and other body parts that we'd rather not mention here. This three parter asks, what did Huge know (and when did he know it) about the death of a friend who was also an enlargement expert? Per Hulu, this friend wasn't "the first of the inner circle to die under mysterious circumstances. Will he be the last?"

Wednesday

AVEDON (Netflix) Fascinating portrait of the original influencer himself — Richard Avedon, the portrait photographer for Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Elle and so much else — who (by this film's estimation) had 16,000 sittings with the world's most famous people from 1944 to 2004 when he died at the age of 81. This Ron Howard-produced film had access to the Richard Avedon Foundation files, along with a trove of never-before-seen stills, and never-before-heard private audio recordings.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: RINGS OF POWER (Prime Video) This third season focuses on Sauron, the Middle-earth baddie (played by Charlie Vickers) who forges his famed one ring (to rule them all), and expands a war against the Elves. It includes the much-anticipated origin story of the Nazgul, those undead former kings, now Ringwraiths enslaved by the Dark Lord himself. Meanwhile, Gandalf (David Weyman) — dubbed "the stranger" the first couple of seasons — finally emerges as the great wizard himself.

Thursday

THE GOOD DAUGHTER (Peacock) Crime novelist Karin Slaughter (TV's "Pieces of Her," "Will Trent") brings that Georgia noir to another series, with some familiar themes (violence against women, judicial corruption), in this adaptation of the 2017 novel starring Meghann Fahy ("The White Lotus") as defense lawyer Charlotte, and Rose Byrne as her sister, Samantha. Both were scarred as kids by the murder of their mother. When the series opens, Charlotte is first on the scene of a high school shooting. Jake McDorman also stars as new boyfriend Huck, and Brendan Gleeson as the sisters' crusty lawyer dad, Rusty. This six-parter (written by Slaughter) is a big swing for Peacock, but it's violent and bloody, too. 

Friday

12 12 12 (Apple TV) This heist series, which opens in Zurich, is built on the not-at-all-convoluted idea that  police investigating a crime hatched over 12 months — and which unfolds over 12 hours —  have zero chance of catching the perpetrator if he (or she) is not caught within 12 days. One of the bad guys — "Fifty Shades of Grey's" Jamie Dornan — hatches the heist by a contortionist hidden in a bank vault (the genuinely bizarre opening scene). A disgraced FBI agent (Anthony Mackie) has 12 days to wrap this up. Apple's big push of the fall is a spectacle, unfolding in locations across Europe. Two episodes drop Friday.

SNOOPY PRESENTS: 12 DAYS OF SNOOPY (Apple TV) Is this Apple's big pitch for the fall season? Per the streamer, "the Peanuts kids are on their best behavior — but Snoopy has landed on Santa’s naughty list. With just 12 days until Christmas, he sets out to prove he’s not such a bad beagle after all, discovering along the way that the season is about more than gifts."
