What's On Tonight (Thursday): 'Young' Sheldon ... Seriously, he's pretty mature now.

 

Via Tumblr.

Tonight's Top Pick is the return of Young Sheldon, starting its seventh and final season. I'm wondering if they're going to have George's death take place in the last episode or if it will happen after the episode's events but before the last narration, a la Jack on The Wonder Years.


While I sincerely hope that I did not just spoil a 31-year-old TV episode, let's see what else is available for Thursday, Feb. 15. All times are EST.


STREAMING
Churchy, 3:01 a.m., BET+. Series premiere. "Corey Carr Jr.(Kevin "KevOnStage" Frederick)'s life takes an unexpected turn when he's bypassed for leadership of his father's mega-church. Determined to prove his worth, Corey packs up his dreams and heads to middle-of-nowhere Lubbock, Texas, with lofty ambitions to build his own ministry from the ground up. However, after quickly stumbling upon the realization that small-town church life is an entirely different ball game, Corey slowly accepts that the path to spiritual leadership might just be funnier and more profound than any sermon could ever teach. Eight episodes available.

Far North, 3:01 a.m., Sundance Now/AMC+. Series premiere. "Inspired by the true story of New Zealand's largest meth bust, this drug smuggling dramedy follows a Tongan-Australian gang whose lucrative drug deal with a global cartel goes awry and they're left stranded with 500kg of meth and a boatload of lies. They unwittingly involve an ordinary Kiwi couple, Ed and Heather (Temuera Morrison and Robyn Malcolm), in their increasingly desperate pursuit of their ultimate payday. Amidst the absurdity, Ed and Heather navigate treacherous waters, hoping to both thwart the gang and survive the ludicrous ordeal." Six episode series. Two episodes available, followed by one per week through Thursday, March 14.

The Truth About Jim, 3:01 a.m., Max. Series premiere. "Amateur investigator Sierra Barter confronts a traumatic past and secrets that have plagued her family for generations.
