What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Moon Knight in shining armor

Moon Knight

I will try not to sing out of key! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, March 30!

Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of the limited series Moon Knight (Disney+, 3 a.m.). The 6-episode series stars Isaac Oscar as a mercenary with  dissociative identity disorder, who gets caught up with a deadly mystery dealing with Egyptian gods and cult leader Ethan Hawke. Reviews have been lukewarm, which is still better than I expected. (Somebody alert me when Ms Marvel arrives.)

Elsewhere, Netflix seeks the Crypto KingFairview finally exits, Kung Fu reconnects, Good Sam makes a difficult decision, Al Roker gets Proud'd, the Queen of Versailles renovates, USA is now in a Courtship, and Astrid & Lilly must Save the World.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
