| Secrets of the Dead |
Hola! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, October 26!
Our Top Pick tonight is the historical docuseries Secrets of the Dead (PBS, 10 p.m.). The show, which originated in the UK, often digs deep into the history of mankind and uses science to find answers to questions about societies and events of years (or even centuries) ago. Last week was about Pompeii, this week is about the Roman Empire, and next week is about the Ancient Egyptians.
Elsewhere, Documentary Now! documents rock throwing, there's a candy thief at Abbott Elementary, Reginald tells a backstory, the curtain is up on Sherman's Showcase again, the Jedi get short, the Handmaid receives a surprise, and The Conners celebrate Halloween.
