What's On Tonight (Wednesday): The Bucs stop here

The Buccaneers

Touchdown! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, December 13!

Our Top Pick tonight is finale of The Buccaneers (Apple TV+, midnight). The 1870s-set costume drama, based on an unfinished Edith Wharton novel, follows a group of American women (including Kristine Frøseth, Alisha Boe, Imogen Waterhouse) who go to London and very much clash with the culture. They're sent across the pond to find husbands and obvs find plenty of drama. Too much, honestly, and it is quite light and frothy, which is an acquired taste. Christina Hendricks plays one of the moms.

Elsewhere, Reggie White gets 30 for 30 treatment, Horses help tigers, Crossing has consequences, Car Masters is a show, Magnum investigates MeToo, a Sister is kidnapped, and The Amazing Race finds new champs.
