IN MY SKIN Stream on Hulu. Kayleigh Llewellyn, the Welsh writer behind “In My Skin,” had a parent with bipolar disorder and was constantly worried her peers would learn of it. This series is modeled after Llewellyn’s experiences, and it stars Gabrielle Creevy as Bethan Gwyndaf, a 16-year-old girl who is ashamed of her mother's frequent hospitalizations and her father’s alcoholism. But Bethan is an excellent liar. After all, she’s trying to balance an unstable home life with the typical anxieties of a teenager — like friendships and crushes — as best as she can. The first season is available for streaming.

THE BIRDS (1963) 10:45 p.m. on TCM. A later addition to the filmography of Alfred Hitchcock, the director nicknamed the “Master of Suspense,” “The Birds” tells the story of a peaceful seaside town suddenly plagued by feathered foes. In it, Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren), follows a man named Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor) from San Francisco to a small fishing village, where his family lives. Almost immediately after Melanie arrives in the town, she is attacked by a sea gull, sparking a chain of horrific bird attacks that turn deadly. In his review for The New York Times in 1963, Bosley Crowther wrote that “Mr. Hitchcock and his associates have constructed a horror film that should raise the hackles on the most courageous and put goose-pimples on the toughest hide.”
