| Awake |
[*alarm clock loudly chimes*] Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, June 9!
Tonight's Top Pick is Netflix's latest movie, Awake. (No, it's not related to the one-season wonder. Sorry.) When a disaster strikes Earth, electronics become defunct and no one can sleep. The human body needs to sleep, and without sleep, paranoia will set in. Yikes. But there is one hope: young Ariana Greenblatt, who you might remember as the tea-time loving youngster on Stuck in the Middle or the sharp-tongued kid in Love and Monsters. She's also in In the Heights.
Elsewhere, Loki returns(?), Viceland investigates the NCAA, Sistas are together again, A Million Little Things finishes its season, The Bold Type faces performance reviews, Netflix searches for fried foods, Peacock does Dogs, MasterChef invites Curtis Stone, CMT presents awards, and BET assembles a supergroup.
