| Fatal Attraction |
America, this is you! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, May 21!
Our Top Pick tonight is the limited series no one asked for — Fatal Attraction (Paramount+, 3 a.m.). This is a remake of the classic 1987 thriller that is modernized to the 2020s and stretched to 8 episodes. Lizzy Caplan steps into the Glenn Close role of Alex Forrest and Joshua Jackson into the Michael Douglas role. Amanda Peet is Jackson's wife, a much-expanded role for the series. I was able to make it through an episode.
Elsewhere, NCIS: Los Angeles takes things personally to the end, America finishes another batch of Home Videos and finds a new Idol, Tom Jones wants love, Somebody has a birthday, Succession morns the dead, the Pastacolypse is coming, Showtime seeks Ghosts of Beirut, the Equalizer meets an old colleague, there's a meat problem up North, Dan Cortese loves Vinyl.
