| Amongst Men |
Nanu Nanu! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, October 20!
Tonight's Top Pick is an import from Whistler country — Argentina. Amongst Men, aka Entre Hombres (HBO Latin, 10 p.m.) an above average '90s period drama about a criminal underworld, populated with dealers and corrupt politicians. After a prostitute dies during a filmed drug-fueled orgy, some high-powered officials attempt to find the VHS tape. I know, I shoulda made this Top Pick last week for National Hispanic Heritage Month.
Elsewhere, the Fire station turns 200, Nature turns 40, American Horror Story finishes its final Feature, Nova wants us to eat bugs, HBO takes a turn at documenting January 6, CSI plays video games, Dopesick is selling lots of OxyContin, The Goldbergs get a wacky neighbor, Ferdinand Magellan has Secrets, Legends have no internet, and ABC profiles Robin Williams.
