A:

Mac and AppleTV need to be on the same local network.  BOTH need to be running.  Itunes needs to be running on the Mac.

 

Home Sharing needs enabling on both with your iTunes account credentials.

 

Compatible content from iTunes will be found under the Computers icon which lists your itunes content.

    By the way, even if a show has just aired and you've paid for a Season Pass, it is not necessarily available in iTunes straight away - it may be, but things sometimes take a few days to become available.
