What’s On Tonight (Thursday): She’s just the girl, she’s just the girl, The Girl Before

 

Courtesy BBC

My Top Pick is The Girl Before, airing on HBO Max after a run on the Beeb. It stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw and David Oyelowo and seems to be a feminist thriller.


Let’s see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, Feb. 10. All times are EST.


STREAMING

The Girl Before, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. Premiere. “Jane (Mbatha-Raw) gets the chance to live in “a beautiful, ultra-minimalist house designed by an enigmatic architect” (Oyelowo). However, in doing so, she “must abide by his list of exacting rules.” The experience changes Jane, not necessarily for the better … as it did with the girl before, Emma (Jessica Plummer). Four episodes available.


KIMI, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. Premiere. “A tech worker (Zoë Kravitz) with agoraphobia discovers recorded evidence of a violent crime, but is met with resistance when she tries to report it. Seeking justice, she must do the thing she fears the most: she must leave her apartment.” Directed by Steven Soderbergh. Written by Davie Koepp. Costarring Rita Wilson.


About Last Night, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. Premiere. “This series invites three celebrity couples to join Ayesha and Stephen (Curry) on an exclusive date night to go head-to-head on uncensored relationship trivia and games, competing to see who knows their partner best.” So it’s sorta nu-Tattletales. Sorta.


Just Call Out My Name, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. The documentary on Carole King and James Taylor, previously seen on CNN.


Star Trek: Discovery, 3:01 a.m., Paramount+.


La Fortuna, 3:01 a.m., AMC+. Penultimate episode. Alex travels to Washington to coordinate the return operation of the treasure; however, he knows the risk is not over yet: if there's someone capable of playing his cards and fighting to the very end, that is Frank Wild.”


Peacemaker, 3:01 a.m., HBO Max. Penultimate episode. “Stop Dragon My Heart Around.”
