Tonight's Top Pick is That Damn Michael Che, debuting on HBO Max. The Futon Critic's listing indicates the show is more about relatability rather than concept humor. "Sketches and vignettes (are used) to illustrate what it feels like to experience various every-day situations including racial profiling, unemployment, falling in love and more, from Michael's perspective." Sounds promising.
Let's see what TV has to offer us for Thursday, May 6. All times are EST.
