We Hunt Together (via Giphy) |
Howdy! Tonight's Top Pick goes to Showtime's latest drama We Hunt Together. It is an atmospheric cat-and-mouse drama about two young people who find one another and also have really traumatic histories, leading them to kill. Then we have the detectives who are on trying to nab them for the murders. It's an above average show. I'm watching for Eve Myles because I miss Gwen Cooper. You might remember fellow cast member Babou Ceesay from Into the Badlands.
Elsewhere, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris sit down for a chat with ABC's David Muir and Robin Roberts, HBO puts the spotlight on NXIVM, Princess Elena says goodbye, a realtor is not a good person, W. Kamau Bell heads south to understand those seeking asylum, something big happens about Christmasland (maybe?), young inspector Morse is done for the season, the seasonal look at the Black experience of Chicago's south side ends, and the seasonal look at the very white experience of rural Montana ends.
You need to be kissed and often and by someone who knows how, here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, August 23!
