| Red Election |
Hello! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, August 20!
Our Top Pick tonight is the international espionage drama Red Election (Ovation, 7 p.m.). In it, "a British MI5 agent's path collides with a Danish Secret Service agent's as international tensions rise and a foreign power seeks to influence an election." This causes a red election. Blood election?
Elsewhere, the Greens love Zombies, Hallmark relatives seek love, Fareed Zakaria interviews the Extraordinary, and One Piece is now in the Z's Ambition arc.
(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
