What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Under the Bridge is troubled waters

Under the Bridge

Mean girls! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, April 17!

Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of the true crime series Under the Bridge (Hulu, midnight). This limited series, based on a book, follows investigation of the murder of Reena Virk. Given its release date, it's making a play for the Emmys -- it concludes days before the final deadline. The drama has a cast worth bragging about with Riley Keough and Lily Gladstone starring as the investigators and Archie Panjabi as the victim's mom.

Elsewhere, Cate Blanchett takes a look at Our Living World, we go into the Family Guy-verse, X-Men has a Storm, Abbott has a Fest, Zoey is still GrownGrimm goes anime, they're Not Dead but one is divorced, and Chucky is armed and ready.
