What's On Tonight (Sunday): Special Sherid-isms

Special Ops: Lioness

Go! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, July 30!

Our Top Pick tonight is the new (and poorly-titled) thriller Special Ops: Lioness (Paramount+, 3 a.m.). The CIA's Lioness force, led by Zoe Saldana not in any green or blue makeup (yet?), works with an undercover to infiltrate the enemy. She finds a new recruit from the wrong side of the tracks, Laysla De Oliveira. If you know Taylor Sheridan's previous works, you know the beats of this generic series. Strong Female Characters! Dark and Troubled Past! Graphic Torture! Shower Scenes! Military Propaganda! Oh, and Zoe's boss is Nicole Kidman.

ElsewhereJoe Pickett solves his case, DI Ray solves her case, Ridley starts a new case, Domina plans for succession, HouseBroken finds a former patient, the WWE is Feudin', the Heart Calls, and the Gemstones reconnect.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
