What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Everything's Trash but that's okay

Everything's Trash

We're all in this together! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, July 27!

Our Top Pick tonight is the freshman comedy Everything's Trash (Freeform, 10:30 p.m.). Based on Phoebe Robinson's book Everything's Trash, But It's Okay, the show follows Robinson as a tell-all podcast host living a messy, wild life until her brother runs for public office, pressuring her to finally face adulthood. I was a big fan of Robinson as half of 2 Dope Queens, so this show is right up my alley.

Elsewhere, the Paranormal likes shiny things, Industrial Light & Magic gets docuseries treatment, Green Planet goes to the desert, High School Musical goes to camp, HBO finds blossoming romances in VR, Netflix profiles the take down of the Most Hated Man, and sharks are everywhere!
