Hunter and the Hunted Get Equal Time in HBO's I'll Be Gone in the Dark

As Primetimer's Sarah D. Bunting writes this weekend, HBO is going meta in its new six-part docuseries I'll Be Gone In The Dark, which tells the story of the late-Michelle McNamara's pursuit of the Golden State Killer. Also: Netflix drops the third and final season of its sleeper hit Dark, Dwayne Johnson hosts a star-studded benefit concert for coronavirus relief, and Showtime's Black Monday returns for the back half of its second season. Here's what's new and noteworthy on TV this weekend:
