| The Deep End |
Oh, balls! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, May 18!
D
Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of the docuseries The Deep End (Freeform, 9 p.m.). The show is Freeform's first big foray into documentary shows with others following this summer. This 4-part docuseries examines the spiritual leader Teal Swan, who has a large and loyal following. Is she running a cult? This seems like an attempt to answer that question.
Elsewhere, Fox thinks it Can Dance again, Adam Goldberg graduates, the Conners have weddings, Nova spotlights Ever Given, Colombian nature gets some spotlight, and hopefully we find out Who Killed Sara.

📺 Quantum Leap (Roku, now): The remake that has been rumored and in production hell for years is finally coming to our screens this fall. That's plenty of time to revisit the early '90s classic with Scott Bakula as the time jumping Sam Beckett, who is striving to put right what once went wrong as he possesses other peoples' bodies. It's not like dream-walking. Also, Dean Stockwell! (RIP.) It was a quality show that NBC didn't quite know where to consistently place.
