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

This exceptional series follow the aspiring writer Margo (Elle Fanning), who drops out of college after her professor knocks her up.

And Margo will return for season 2!

| 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.
Welcome to the Weekend in Pop Culture! Let's examine what's coming out in theaters this weekend.
