Margo's Got Money Troubles

Fucking diabolical! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, May 20!

Our Top Pick tonight is the season finale of Margo's Got Money Troubles (Apple TV, midnight). This exceptional series follow the aspiring writer Margo (Elle Fanning), who drops out of college after her professor knocks her up. Her mom is Michelle Pfeiffer, who's dating pastor Greg Kinnear, and estranged dad is Nick Offerman. While early marketing pegged it as a show about doing OnlyFans, which Margo turns to for money, it is about so much more, too. This one deserves some Emmy noms love. And Margo will return for season 2!

Elsewhere, The Boys are leaving town, Stephen Colbert takes his questionaire, Kylie Minogue gets docuseries treatment, there is sole Survivor, Widow's Bay has a curfew, Jack Ryan does a movie, The Oval still exists, and Tatiana Maslany guarantees us Pleasure.

The Food That Built America

Friends forever! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, May 17!

Our Top Pick tonight is The Food That Built America (History, 10 p.m.). This docudrama series is okay. It does a lot of scene recreations to break in between historical photos and a variety of talking heads. They do some heavy (heavy) padding. But the information is good and keeps the show mildly entertaining, though at this point there's a fair amount of repetition.

Elsewhere, Ncuti Gatwa was Live from London, Naked & Afraid goes Global, 60 Minutes stops the watch, Bob's is to the rescue, the ACMs return and Marshals are rogue.

What's On Tonight (Friday): Supervillain Taylor Sheridan No Match for the Wonderfools

The Wonderfools

The most notable premiere today is the latest Taylor Sheridan series, which stars Cole Hauser, Annette Benning and Ed Harris, but I have never watched a Taylor Sheridan series and have no interest in starting.  Instead I am bestowing today's Top Pick on the Korean superhero comedy The Wonderfools.  The trailer looks fun and it's slim premiere pickings today.

By the way, the actual translation of the title is The Wonderfuls, but Netflix knows how much it's subscribers love puns.

Second place goes to another Netflix series, the art heist action series Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine.  The series comes form the creators of Money Heist, so it's bound to be slickly produced and not make a bit of sense.  But, once again, the trailer is fun and there's just not much else piquing my interest.

⭐🔔 The Wonderfools (Netflix, 3:01 AM) 'A goofy group of townies stumbles into superpowers and fights rising evil as doomsday panic grows in this wild, turn-of-the-century action comedy.'✔️
