via Giphy

Today's Top Pick is Wahl Street, which promises "an intimate day-to-day look at how Mark Wahlberg manages his growing business ventures against his rigorous film schedule." Did you know Mark turns 50 this year? He's (gonna be) 50! Fifty years old! He likes to kick ... and stretch ... and KICK! HE'S 50!


Let's see what TV has to offer us on Thursday, April 15. All times are EST.

Wahl Street, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max.

You know, I have to give Mark credit. I don't think anybody would have expected him to last 30 years in the public eye. I guess it helps that he didn't stay in one lane. Rapper to model to actor to businessman to "businessman."

The first two episodes include "Saving Smokey's" and "Snoop to the Rescue." In addition to Snoop Dogg, future guests will include Nelly, Rob Schneider, Archie Manning and Shaq.

Spy City, 3:01 a.m., AMC+. Premiere. Dominic Cooper stars in this 1961-set limited series about a secret agent sent to dispose of a leak in Berlin.

Younger, 3:01 a.m., Hulu/Paramount+. Seventh season premiere. Four episodes debut tonight. "In the final season, Liza's personal life is on shaky ground as she tries to stay true to herself.
