A new bizarre program on HBO - Fantasmas. Follows Bill Maher. I think

Fantasmas - Cookies and Spaghetti
Season 1 Episode 1
While ignoring his landlord's urgent letters, Julio obtains a gold oyster earring... then promptly loses it at the club. Later, Julio explains his sensitivity to shapes, colors, numbers, and the alphabet to his fellow rideshare passengers.

The six-episode series stars Torres as a fictional version of himself, following him as he navigates a dreamlike New York and searches for a lost earring shaped like a tiny gold oyster. Throughout the search, he encounters a whole city’s worth of strange characters, and the result is a surreal, introspective deep dive into questions of purpose, meaning, and the nature of reality.

Like any good emcee, Torres welcomes a slew of starry guest actors to Fantasmas, including Julia Fox, Ziwe, Steve Buscemi, Alexa Demie, and Kim Petras, among other top-secret cameos. The recurring cast also features performing artist Martine as Torres’ “pseudo agent,” who finds him odd jobs like consulting on crayon colors, and Joe Rumrill as the voice of Torres’ robot companion Bibo. Producers include Emma Stone and her husband Dave McCary, who frequently collaborated with Torres at SNL.
