| The Ark |
Happy Zero Discrimination Day! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, March 1!
Our Top Pick tonight is the sci-fi series The Ark (Syfy, 10 p.m.). This middling drama follows a crew awakened early from hibernation following a disaster that leaves their ship lacking supplies and absent of leaders. Every week is a new/procedural-like dilemma. The characters are quite bland with the overly-talkative nerd on board turned up a few too many notches, and the leaders have secrets. Plus, there's an unsolved murder. If you want a non-demanding, background-worthy sci-fi show, this qualifies.
Elsewhere, Netflix Cheats to enter the game show space, The Mandalorian returns, a husband gets caught in his True Lies, Hulu celebrates its birthday celebration with a Wreck, a strike takes over the hospital, Beverly Goldberg might have a crush, Mary J. Blige loves Wine, Abbott prepares a fight, budget cuts take over the fire station, and the Everything cast is Everywhere in late night.

The Mandalorian (Disney+, 3 a.m.): SEASON PREMIERE. It's been two years since the title last aired with Luke taking Grogu away.
