Mysterious New Series Drops on Acorn TV—But Is It All Just an Elaborate Hoax?

Do you ever stumble across something so absurd on TV that you find yourself squinting at the screen, half-expecting to see a “just kidding” watermark flash in the corner? That was me, slack-jawed in front of my laptop, discovering that Irish Blood—yes, starring Alicia Silverstone, yes, that’s apparently a real thing—has quietly tiptoed onto Acorn TV, as if hoping nobody would notice. I mean, how exactly does a show go from concept to “viewable” without ever crossing the threshold of cultural awareness? It’s like Acorn TV is just uploading fever dreams now—seriously, is this some elaborate prank? Part of me is genuinely tempted to watch it… except I’d probably get distracted by something called Agatha Raisin halfway through! Why does streaming always feel like a grab bag of the almost-real?

NEW YORK—Stumped by the latest development to come out of the world of entertainment, sources confirmed Monday that presumably real television show Irish Blood had come to Acorn TV. “Huh, look at that,” one source said of the Alicia Silverstone–led series, which was presumably written, shot, and edited before being made available on the streaming service known as Acorn TV, where, should a person choose to take such an action, it could be viewed. “In theory, I could sit down right now and watch at least four episodes of Irish Blood on Acorn TV. I probably won’t. But presumably, I could. Hey, what’s this thing called Agatha Raisin?” At press time, sources reported that the presumably real series had given their televisions a virus.
