The core team features Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, Billy Tolley, and Jay Wasley, who split responsibilities across historical research, tech setup, and on-site walkthroughs.

Produced for Investigation Discovery with producers including Tom Cappello, Alana Goldstein and Keely Walker Muse, the series airs on ID and streams on Max. Episodes are organized chronologically from incident to forensic analysis and courtroom outcomes, presenting how detectives assembled timelines and identified suspects within the tech ecosystem.

8. ‘Welcome to Plathville’ (2019– )

‘Welcome to Plathville’ profiles the Plath family as parents Barry and Kim and their children navigate evolving household rules, moves, work and school choices, and relationships.

Produced for TLC by Sharp Entertainment and streaming on Max, the series structures seasons around relocations and milestones such as engagements, weddings, and breakups.

Set in suburban Pennsylvania, ‘Mare of Easttown’ follows Detective Mare Sheehan as she investigates a local homicide amid personal and family strain. Kate Winslet leads the cast, with Julianne Nicholson, Jean Smart, Evan Peters, Angourie Rice, Guy Pearce, and Joe Tippett in prominent roles.

Created and written by Brad Ingelsby and directed by Craig Zobel, the seven-episode limited series was produced for HBO with location shooting around Delaware and Chester Counties. The production balances procedural elements—interviews, forensics, and case timelines—with character-driven drama, advancing the investigation each episode toward resolution.

6. ‘Last Week Tonight with John Oliver’ (2014– )

Produced by Sharp Entertainment for TLC and streaming on Max, the show structures episodes around housing, career steps, cultural integration and travel tied to immigration status. Production spans multiple filming locations per season, with crew following couples through legal updates, family negotiations, and relationship inflection points.

Created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland for Adult Swim, the series streams on Max and is produced by Williams Street and Green Portal with animation from Bardel Entertainment. Later seasons continue long-arc continuity threads while keeping episodes largely self-contained, and production maintains writers-room worldbuilding that feeds recurring characters and canon gags across seasons.

2. ‘Task’ (2025)

‘Task’ is a seven-episode crime drama created and written by Brad Ingelsby that returns to the blue-collar Pennsylvania world he explored in ‘Mare of Easttown’.

Created and written by James Gunn, ‘Peacemaker’ is produced by DC Studios, Warner Bros. Television and The Safran Company. Season 1 was filmed primarily in Vancouver, with James Gunn directing multiple episodes; the series is scored by Clint Mansell and Kevin Kiner, and its hair-metal-infused soundtrack—fronted by Wig Wam’s “Do Ya Wanna Taste It”—anchors the show’s signature opening sequence.
