| We Need to Talk About Cosby |
Freed him to search for a one-armed man he saw leave the scene of the crime! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, February 13!
Our top pick tonight is the docuseries We Need to Talk About Cosby (Showtime, 10 p.m.), W. Kamau Bell's extraordinary series about how Black comedians and entertainers (still struggle to) process what we now know about the monster Bill Cosby, their one-time hero and showbusiness pioneer. The show walks us through Cosby's career and how integral he is to its incorporation of Black entertainers but also against many traumatic sexual assault stories. Tonight, Cosby stars in a sitcom that changes television.
Elsewhere, the Fresh Prince gets dramatic, a tornado touches down Somewhere, the Walking Dead return for the final walk, Euphoria has mommy problems, the Gemstones quarrel, Vienna Blood solves a final crime, and sportsballs plays the Big Game.
