| Snowfall (via Giphy) |
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, March 17!
Tonight's Top Pick is a show you probably didn't know was still a thing. Snowfall, the show about the early days (1980s) of the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles, is in its fourth season. FOUR! I think Franklin, the central character, is a high-profile drug dealer these days and has been trying to mediate the gang violence in South Central.
Elsewhere, Syfy transplants TZGZ to Wednesdays, The Grammys celebrates change, Netflix examines college admissions scandal, there's a big announcement in Riverdale, Mariana and the girls pitch an app idea, the Resident Alien is stranded on a glacier, and Nancy Drew ain't afraid of no ghost.
