WHAT I’M WATCHING THIS WEEK
1. If you’re from this region, odds are you know the story of Sonja Farak, the Amherst drug lab chemist who tampered with evidence and was arrested in 2013. On Wednesday, Netflix is releasing a four-part docuseries called “How to Fix a Drug Scandal” about the case, tracking Farak’s drug addiction — “I was smoking [drugs] at the lab, I was smoking at home, I actually smoked in the evidence room,” we hear her say in the preview clip — and the ripple effect her actions had on the lives of many convicts. Directed by Erin Lee Carr, who also made “I Love You, Now Die: The Commonwealth V. Michelle Carter,” the series also includes material about another drug lab falsifier, Annie Dookhan, just in case you aren’t scandalized enough.

2. If you’re looking for a soap opera that plays against the intensely dramatic background of World War II, “World on Fire” is going to satisfy. It’s a new “Masterpiece” seven-parter whose interrelated characters are spread across England, France, Germany, Poland, and the United States. Helen Hunt is one of the stars, playing an American journalist whose candid broadcasts from Berlin give viewers a sense of the progress of the conflict. Also in the cast: Sean Bean, Lesley Manville, and Jonah Hauer-King, who looks like a young Billy Campbell.
3. “Frontline” has a new installment called “Plastic Wars,” Tuesday at 10 p.m. on WGBH-2. It looks into the ways that the plastics industry has used recycling to help sell more plastic.
4. Apple TV+’s “Home Before Dark” is based on the true story of kid journalist Hilde Lysiak. Brooklynn Prince from “The Florida Project” plays the girl who uncovers a cold case that her town — including her father — tried to cover up. Jon M. Chu (“Crazy Rich Asians”) directed the drama, three episodes of which will be available on Friday (the remaining seven will arrive weekly). The series has already been renewed for a second season.
5. I like the cast of the new Netflix movie “Coffee & Kareem,” which is available on Friday, but the story line isn’t promising. Ed Helms is a cop who is dating Taraji P. Henson, but her 12-year-old son tries to break them up. The plan backfires, and the boy and the cop must team up to stop the damage. Also in the cast: Betty Gilpin, RonReaco Lee, and David Alan Grier.

6. Did you submit to the flatness that is “Spenser Confidential”? If you did, you may remember the actress who played Spenser’s girlfriend, the one who yelled “Go Sox” while having sex with him in a restaurant bathroom. She was the lone bright spot in the movie. Her name is Iliza Shlesinger, she’s a comic, and she has a new sketch show that premieres Wednesday on Netflix. It’s called “The Iliza Shlesinger Sketch Show,” and I’ll definitely check it out.
7. On Friday, Amazon is releasing an eight-episode sci-fi series that’s inspired by the futuristic artwork of Swedish painter Simon Stålenhag. It’s about the people who live in the rural Swedish town above “The Loop,” a “machine built to unlock and explore the mysteries of the universe.” The cast of “Tales From the Loop” includes Jonathan Pryce, Paul Schneider, and Rebecca Hall.

• Best new shows of 2020, so far”
• “The most underappreciated TV shows of the decade”
• “I know what you should binge during this storm”
• “Globe TV critic Matthew Gilbert’s top 10 shows of 2019”
