| Riot Women |
Happy hump day! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, January 14!
Our Top Pick tonight is Riot Women (BritBox, 3 a.m.). This British show is the latest from Sally Wainwright, the brilliant mind behind Happy Valley, Renegade Nell, Scott & Bailey, and Last Tango in Halifax, among others. This time her focus is women of a certain age, all dealing with personal crises of some sort, coming together to form a band. Top of the Pops bound!
Elsewhere, ABC looks back at daytime TV's dominance, Idris Elba is Hijacked again, Palm Royale goes to the ball, Abbott needs to find answers, Med takes on road rage, Percy Jackson goes down with the ship, and Ms. Pat goes to the hospital.

The first circle of hell is the definition of boredom: Limbo. This is reserved for people who could not have known better. This includes people born before the salvation of Jesus (this presumably excludes anyone in the Trump administration but I wouldn't put it past them), miscarriages and infants who died before they could be baptized. ICE is likely responsible for some of the latter. These souls are doomed to a relatively mild eternity of looking up at Trump's Big Beautiful Ballroom but never allowed to enter.
Tonight's Top Pick is the two-episode series premiere of Pole to Pole With Will Smith, airing at 9 p.m. on National Geographic. Alas, it's not as provocative as the title implies. "Five years in the making, the series follows Will Smith across all seven continents. Inspired by his late mentor to explore life's big questions, Will throws himself into incredible challenges for 100 days."
Here are today's Champions Wildcard contestants:
- Cameron Berry, a data analyst and college administrator from Brighton, Massachusetts;
- Vickie Talvola, a quantitative trader from Jersey City, New Jersey; and
- Ryan Sharpe, a recent graduate from Oakville, Ontario.

I think I've run out of Deadly Sins and may have to start with Circles of Hell. The problem with that is that we are already at the bottom and still descending.
Tonight's Top Pick is The Wall, since I haven't chosen it in a while and we're still in the January doldrums. At least for Mondays. Hey, take the victory when it comes, Chris Hardwick.

Fear is not a factor for you! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, January 11!
Our Top Pick tonight is Bookish (PBS, 10 p.m.). No, Kenya Barris isn't involved in this period crime drama from across the pond. Mark Gatiss is Gabriel Book who sells books at the bookstore Book's bookshop. But he and his wife(ish... lavender marriage) also help the police solve crimes.
Elsewhere, we pretend the Golden Globes are important, Primal returns, Fear Factor lives, the Night Manager is back on duty, All Creatures matter, Miss Scarlet is on new cases, and Mario Lopez has an IOU.
