What's On Tonight (Wednesday): This show is Criminal

Criminal Record

I'm not running a popularity contest! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, January 10!

Our Top Pick tonight is the series premiere of Criminal Record (Apple TV+, midnight). The drama finds young detective Cush Jumbo clashing with veteran detective Peter Capaldi over an old murder case that Cush thinks has numerous red flags. Sounds like the doctor is in the thick of it for a good fight. One beast must die.

Elsewhere, the Sistas do brunch, Nature goes to Canada, Brooke Baldwin gets Greedy, Netflix hits a new Break Point, Dave Chappelle gets double doc treatment, and Kelly Taylor Can See Your Voice.

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