| Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber |
Freed him to run before the relentless pursuit of the police lieutenant obsessed with his capture! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, April 3!
Our Top Pick tonight is the "anthology" series Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber (Showtime, 10 p.m.). The show is about Uber CEO Travis Kalanick (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and his battle to keep his transportation startup/disruptor alive. There's also an investor (Kyle Chandler) and other business people involved (Kerry Bishé, Jon Bass, Babak Tafti, Uma Thurman as Arianna Huffington). The show is full of a-holes who want things their way and struggling for funds and fighting legal and labor battles. I found the first couple episodes okay. Shows set wholly within Silicon Valley and its culture aren't in my TV palate. The editing was also substandard.
Elsewhere, music has its biggest night, Riverdale is declared the worst, Sanditon has a new beau, The Twelve is still a thing, Saints & Sinners beings its last season of sins, Maggie will defend Hilltop, cookies Built America, and Shining Vale gets damned.
