| Guilt |
De plane! De plane! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, September 12!
Tonight's Top Pick is the British import Guilt (PBS, 9 p.m.), which concludes tonight with episodes three and four. The dark comedy miniseries, which originally aired across the pond back in 2019, follows brothers Mark Bonnar and Jamie Sives after they accidentally run over and kill an old man. Despite covering the crime, their lives spiral as doubts grow about how the old man died. Last week's episodes are still unwatched on my DVR, but it's been quite a while since I picked a Masterpiece show.
Elsewhere, MTV gives out awards, Jeff Daniels gets Rusty, HBO remakes Bergman's Scenes from a Marriage, 60 Minutes remembers 9/11, Showtime finishes Gossiping, Fantasy Island is here, Walking Dead goes to the Hilltop, COVID intrude a Work in Progress, History profiles the Iran Hostage Crisis, Lucy Worsley revisits 1917, and sportsball happen.
