What's On Tonight (Wednesday): For your Convenience

Kim's Convenience

Don't know about the future, that's anybody's guess! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, June 2!

Tonight's Top Pick is the import Kim's Convenience, which arrives with its fifth and final batch of episodes. The Canadian import follows the life of the Korean Canadian Kim family who run a convenience store in their Toronto neighborhood. Appa and Umma are traditionalists, frequently clashing with their young, artsy daughter, Janet. Relations are slowly rebuilding with their estranged son, Jung. Mandalorian fans should find Appa familiar looking. The show, based on a play, is exceptionally charming.

Elsewhere, PBS answers why our body knows how to react to various life settings, rains come to the WaterholeKung Fu doesn't have a secret anymore, Gary has a big Little Thing problem, Bunk'd is still a show, the Drew Crew wraps season two, Nova dives for a ship, Jonathan Van Ness profiles life with HIV, and Lilly Singh welcomes her last guest, Tan France
