The Gloaming

Salve! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, March 28!

Tonight's Top Pick is Starz' latest import, The Gloaming. Like The Luminaries, this one is from Australia but minus the period setting and Eva Green. This is a crime drama, where a murder shows links to a 20-year-old unsolved crime.

Elsewhere, Zoey is Extraordinary again, PBS awards movies for the 50+ crowd, Daryl and Carol part ways, Jenny Hart takes bonding too far, Gretta shelters an elven princess, Pope Francis gets doc treatment, The Rookie investigates a kidnapping, the children of Donor 5114 get the spotlight, Tina Belcher gets a crush, Liam Gallagher seeks a STEM school, and Oxygen's Snapped turns 500.
