| 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.
