What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Afflict the rich

Leverage: Redemption

Come on down! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, January 11!

Our Top Pick tonight is the streaming Leverage: Redemption (FreeVee, midnight). The revival picks up a year after the original TNT series concluded with Sophie Devereaux (Gina Bellman) gets the old crew of high-tech crooks (Christian Kane, Beth Riesgraf, Aldis Hodge) back together to take down a rich guy doing very bad things... like they do. Crooked lawyer Harry Wilson (Noah Wyle) joins and the gang decides to get back in the business of leveraging. This is quality popcorn entertainment.

Elsewhere, RuPaul teaches us a new Lingo, Disney goes Chasing WavesElementary friends fight, Willow & Co. end their journey, the Goldbergs are in a funk, the Firehouse gets inspected, and there are Economics to hot dreams.
