Hail Satan?
Channel: S3
TX Time: 22h00
Genre: Documentary, Religion
When media-savvy members of the Satanic Temple organise a series of public actions designed to advocate for religious freedom and challenge corrupt authority, they prove that with little more than a clever idea, a mischievous sense of humour, and a few rebellious friends, you can speak truth to power in some truly profound ways.
Taking place on the steps of the historic State Capitol building in Tallahassee, Florida, a handful of citizens wearing hooded cloaks and polyester robes hold a rally in support of Governor Rick Scott's proposed law to allow prayer in public schools.
Chanting "Hail Satan! Hail Rick Scott!", the group's demonically-costumed spokesman announces to a smattering of TV cameras that the Satanic Temple fully embraces the prospective legislation.
In truth, however, these media-savvy Satanists are playfully championing religious pluralism while illustrating the hypocrisy of Scott's actions.
Hail Satan? offers a timely look at a group of often misunderstood outsiders whose unwavering commitment to social and political justice has empowered thousands of people around the world.

TX Time: 22h00
Genre: Docu-Reality
Fresh off the heels of a head-turning season, Sister Wives picks up right where the previous season left off when the series returns.
For 12 years we have followed the highs and lows between Kody Brown and his four wives - Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn - as they've expanded their family and celebrated life's big moments from birthdays to weddings and babies.
This season, Sister Wives takes a dramatic and emotional turn, as Christine leaves Kody and changes the dynamic of this polygamist family forever.
Last year, Christine kicked Kody out of her home, which was one of the hardest things she has ever done.
But now, formally putting an end to their marriage turns out to be even harder.
And when she has to tell her sister wives and her children, nobody takes it well.
She is determined to move to Utah to be with her older children but when Kody tries to stop her, Christine calls him out for favouring one wife and her children over all the others.
The stresses multiply as people begin to take sides.
And on top of it all, COVID is still a major issue for the Brown family, as first Janelle and her children test positive and later, Kody, Robyn and their kids face their own struggles during the pandemic.
When Christine's daughter Mykelti gives birth, she invites some of the sister wives to be part of it, but not others and her choices are surprising.
Then, without talking to Kody, Janelle buys a giant RV and moves onto their undeveloped Coyote Pass property as she is desperate to get construction started on their homes.
This season will see the family divided like never before, leaving one thing for certain: the Browns will never be the same.
In the Season 11 premiere, "It's Over": Janelle tests positive for COVID-19, and Kody confides in Robyn about his troubles with Christine.
Then, Kody and Christine sit down to have a tense discussion about the future of their marriage, which leaves Christine feeling empowered and Kody defeated.
