What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Get Well

Wellmania

I'm not fat, I'm big boned! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, March 29!

Our Top Pick tonight is the new Aussie comedy Wellmania (Netflix, 3 a.m.). It stars Celeste Barber as a food blogger who must reevaluate her wild style life after a health scare. I'm not sure the rest of the regular cast will be familiar to American audiences, but Miranda Otto has a recurring role.

ElsewhereRiverdale goes back to time, Deerfield discovers a Door Prize, the Bad Batch rescue their old teammate, Ted Lasso is in for a team change, spring break comes to South ParkDigman goes to Venice, True Lies must stop war, New York City has an Emergency, and the Flash dreams of alternative lives.
