Tonight's Top Pick is the season (and let's be honest, it's clearly going to be a season, not a series) finale of The Golden Bachelor. If it wouldn't be incredibly irresponsible, but admittedly somewhat compelling and more than a little funny, I could see ABC greenlighting The Little Bachelor, centering around teenagers.
STREAMING
Bookie, 3:01 a.m., Max. Series premiere. "From Emmy-nominated creator Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory) and Nick Bakay, this darkly funny comedy follows veteran Los Angeles bookie Danny (Sebastian Maniscalco) as the potential legalization of sports gambling in California threatens to upend his business for good. Alongside best friend and former NFL player Ray (Omar J. Dorsey), side-hustling sister Lorraine (Vanessa Ferlito), and reluctantly reformed drug dealer Hector (Jorge Garcia), Danny must contend with his increasingly unstable clients as he tries to settle their debts - all while making plenty of risky bets of his own. Full of relatable mishaps, Bookie chronicles one man's journey to adapt to an ever-changing world as he attempts to charm and con his way to the top." Two episodes available.
