What's On Tonight (Thursday): The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, So Help Me Todd

 

Via Tumblr.

Tonight's Top Pick is So Help Me Todd, which returned last week with most of the rest of CBS Thursday. We're just waiting on Elsbeth, which premieres next week.


While I wonder what's got Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin so excited, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Thursday, Feb. 22. All listings are EST.


STREAMING
Death in the Dorms, 12:01 a.m., Hulu. Second season premiere. "Six chilling stories of college students from different schools whose lives were tragically cut short by violent crime: Jackson State University accounting major Latasha Norman, Louisiana State University first-year student Max Gruver, University of Miami linebacker Marlin Barnes and his friend Timwanika Lumpkins, Temple University film studies student Jenna Burleigh, Binghamton University nursing student Haley Anderson, and College of Charleston student Patrick Moffly. Through emotional testimony from family and friends and interviews with key law enforcement, each episode focuses on the life of a bright young student and their lost potential, their loved ones' grief, and the fight to bring their killers to justice." Six episodes available.

Kemba, 3:01 a.m., BET+. Premiere. "Based on the true story of Kemba Smith, Kemba follows the journey of a sheltered college student who falls in love with a man, only to find out he isn’t who he seems. When Kemba learns of her boyfriend Khalif’s true identity as a drug kingpin, he turns abusive — grooming straight-laced Kemba to overlook his illicit dealings. Though she never dealt or handled drugs, in a tragic turn of events, Kemba receives an outrageous sentence for her boyfriend’s crimes — placing her in the middle of the government’s 'war on drugs.' Never losing hope, her parents along with an attorney with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund launch a campaign for appeal and later clemency, harnessing the power of Black civic organizations, sororities, celebrities, and lawmakers to help free Kemba."

Rory Scovel: Religion, Sex and a Few Things in Between, 3:01 a.m., Max. Premiere. "Comedian Scovel performs standup at Minneapolis' Goodale Theater, touching on religion, sex, mushrooms, vaccines, parenting, and other topics."
