What’s On Tonight (Thursday): Not So Pretty, Not So Pretty, no, not pretty, nor witty, nor bright …

Our Top Pick is Not So Pretty, HBO Max’s “first-ever comprehensive large-scale investigative expose of the trillion dollar cosmetics, beauty and personal care industry.” It feels appropriate to highlight the show on the day that The Kardashians, celebrating ostensible beauty, drops.
