| Profiled: The Black Man |
Hello, this is Carlton your doorman! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, February 19!
Our top pick tonight is the docuseries Profiled: The Black Man (Discovery+, 3 a.m.), which spends each episode disassembling a frequently seen stereotype about Black men. The series, from Tina Knowles-Lawson, interviews scholars and celebrities as well as common people to make its points. It is a pretty good series.
Elsewhere, Witches make their final Discovery, the Beast Titan joins the Attack, Attenborough starts in the Galapagos, Ralph Fiennes works for the King, Pam and Tommy's sex tape gets documentary treatment, and Shenmue searches for a reader.
(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
