What's On Tonight (Sunday): I keep on fallin'

The Man Who Fell to Earth

Happy Independence Day's Eve! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, July 3!

Our Top Pick tonight is the season finale of The Man Who Fell to Earth sequel The Man Who Fell to Earth (Showtime, 10 p.m.). Alien Chiwetel Ejiofor arrives on Earth and it is up to him to save the planet -- and then save his own species. The cast is impressive with Clarke Peters, Naomi Harris, Bill Nighy, Jimmi Simpson, and Kate Mulgrew, among others. I've only watched the first episode. It's good.

Elsewhere, Eve Myles is back on the HuntThe Chi co-parents, Dark Winds has a suspect, Ukraine calls NBC, Portofino gets shady, Elizabeth is alone, and Birdgirl must ready her FUPA.
