Two well anticipated dramas are joining the streaming services Netflix and Amazon Prime, respectively.
First up: Amazon's "Man in the High Castle," which re-imagines life in what used to be the United States in the late 1950s if the Nazis and Japanese were victorious in 1945. The pilot aired last year and reaction was so positive, it received nine more episodes. It is available Friday morning just after midnight for Amazon Prime customers. (Reviews here.)
Over on Netflix three hours later, the newest Marvel series focuses on character Jessica Jones, the second one on Netflix following "Daredevil." It shares continuity with films of the Marvel franchise and will lead to a Defenders crossover miniseries. Reviews of this series have also been largely positive.
And if you need your live award show fix, the American Music Awards on ABC returns Sunday with Jennifer Lopez as host.
But if you need a live music show without the awards, there's a concert for racial progress on A&E and History and several other networks on Friday. Zac Brown Band, Sting, Sia, John Legend and Miguel are among the performers.
A couple of series swapped out original episodes ("Supergirl" and "NCIS: Los Angeles" Monday) after the Paris terrrorist attacks Friday because they were terrorism related. And a Paris-based episode of TNT's 'Legends" was postponed as well.
