What's On Tonight (Wednesday): She sees Dead people

Not Dead Yet

Believe! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, March 15!

Our Top Pick tonight is the freshman comedy Not Dead Yet (ABC 9:30 p.m.). Based on the book Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up, the series stars Jane the Virgin Gina Rodriguez as Nell Serrano, a journalist back in the newsroom where she gave up a promising career for love (that flailed). She reconnects with her BFF (Hannah Simone), now an editor, and is put on obituaries, which leads to her being able to interact with her dead subjects. There's also her boss and roommate. It's a messy show with a lot of characters to balance — while also perhaps losing interest in its dead-person gimmick.

ElsewhereTed Lasso is back on the field, billionaires tell LiesAbbott Elementary rallies, Robin Roberts turns new Tables, a Goldberg is superstitious, the Veep chats with Colbert, some Sistas are vulnerable, and The Ark pieces together some origins.
