What's On Tonight (Sunday): There's Gold in that thar warehouse

The Gold

Tick tick tick tick tick! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, September 17!

Our Top Pick tonight is the new miniseries The Gold (Paramount+, 3 a.m.). The British import is a dramatization of the 1983 Brink's-Mat robbery and the many ripple effects on the criminal investigations and the criminals trying to sell off £26 million worth of gold bullion, diamonds, and cash without raising suspicion. Stars Hugh Bonneville, Dominic Cooper, Charlotte Spencer, Tom Cullen, and Jack Lowden. The reviews across the pond for the show were quite positive.

Elsewhere, 60 Minutes returns with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Villains wanna be a hero, Billions needs counsel, Winter King returns, begun the Halloween Wars have, only one can be Winning between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, and Ed Gein gets unnecessary docuseries treatment.

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