| Britannia |
Dude! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, March 6!
Our top pick tonight is the third season finale of the historical fantasy Britannia (Epix, 10 p.m.), which moved to cable after its first season on Amazon Prime. The ambitious series (with David Morrissey, Sophie Okonedo, David Bradley, and Eleanor Worthington Cox, among many) takes place as Rome attempts to conquer Britain in 43 A.D.. We follow the lives of Romans and the many Brits who stand in the way of the determined Romans. There's comedy, drama, kingmaking, backstabbing, and more. I enjoyed the first season.
Elsewhere, NBC has a Courtship, Los Angeles Lakers start Winning, Eve is still looking for the Twelve, Outlander returns, doctors get Transplanted to Sundays, S.W.A.T.'s case gets personal, Independent films have awards, Robot Chicken meets Dilbert, Courteney Cox is Shining, and a Simpson is a bully.
