What's On Tonight (Monday): Ladies on Draft

 

Via Giphy.

Tonight's Top Pick is the 2024 WNBA Draft, airing on ESPN at 7:30. It will air live from the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York, apparently a first-time venue for the event.

While I marvel at how draft ceremonies have become almost as formal and institutionalized as awards shows, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, April 15. All times are EST.


STREAMING
Faithless, 3:01 a.m., Acorn TV. Series premiere. "his sharp-witted tale tells the story of three young sisters living in Dublin and their Irish/ Egyptian dad who, after a tragic incident, is raising them alone. That is until his irresponsible younger brother moves in to 'help' and never leaves. Meet the Amin family, the new fighting Irish. Faithless takes a close look at the ways the family cope with the vacuum left behind and realize that, regardless of age or seniority, everyone has to grow up fast. Using black comedy, it shines a light on some uncomfortable truths about gender roles, grief, identity, acceptance, faith and happiness." Six episodes available.
