What's On Tonight (Sunday): Your Honor is breaking bad

Your Honor

Don't do drugs, kids! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, December 20!

Bryan Cranston is back and is involved in bad behavior. The Top Pick tonight is Your Honor, which finds Cranston as Judge Michael Desiato, who has a son, Adam, that kills a crime lord's kid in a hit and run. So of course, Desiato works like hell to help his son hide his crime. It's a tangled web that will surely become too much for him to contain.
