What's On Tonight (Wednesday): The Widow maker

Widow's Bay

Sharing is caring! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, April 29!

Our Top Pick tonight is the series premiere of Widow's Bay (Apple TV, midnight). This horror comedy from Parks & Rec writer Katie Dippold and helmed by Hiro Murai centers on small town-life (Schitt's Creek, Northern Exposure, Gilmore Girls) where everyone believes the town is cursed. And they might be right. Matthew Rhys is the outsider mayor. I'm going to assume this is an Americans sequel series.

Elsewhere, PBS teaches adults about sharing, the Testaments scribe an origin story, Nova traces democracy's origins, Imperfect finds an end, MrBeast is a Survivor, Margo goes to Vegas, and the P.D. kick it old school by investigating a VHS tape.

What's On Tonight (Monday): Take it on the Roadshow

Tonight's Top Pick is Antiques Roadshow, because I'm saving The Rookie for its season finale next week, and The Neighborhood for its series finale on May 11. I have no idea what that lady's so amazed about.

What's On Tonight (Sunday): Audacity of nope

The Audacity

Sunday! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, April 26!

Our Top Pick tonight is The Audacity (AMC+, 3 a.m. / AMC, 9 p.m.). This new series takes on tech bros and the people around them and it might be aiming for too much accuracy because the show isn't that enjoyable. Even with Sarah Goldberg. These are terrible, terrible people who see themselves as gods. See also: Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever.

Elsewhere, Nicola Coughlan was Live from London, Ben Sasse has a Minute, the Comeback didn't sign an NDA, Guy has a colonoscopy, Rooster gets emotional, A&E still loves the WWE, Euphoria likes Paladin, a new Last Chef Standing begins, and Bob's brings quality back to Fox.

What's On Tonight (Friday): Murder for the Job You Want

          

No Other Choice

Today's Top Pick is the streaming premiere of director Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice.  The dark comedy follows a man who loses his job and goes to extremes to insure he gets a new one to maintain his family's standard of living.  The movie received excellent reviews but strangely was not nominated for any Oscars.  Never let it be said that the Oscars have better taste than What's On Tonight.

If Oscar nominations are important to you, we also have the streaming premiere of the Timothée Chalamet starrer, Marty Supreme.  I know a lot of people on our board don't much like Chalamet, but I have no issues with him.  Probably because I ignore most of the celebrity bullshit.  

⭐🎥 No Other Choice (Hulu, 12:01 AM) STREAMING PREMIERE. 'Follows a desperate paper industry expert who decides to kill off his competition to be assured of the job he seeks to maintain his way of life.  Directed by Park Chan-wook.'✔️
