What's On Tonight (Tuesday): Hearing the sounds of The Voice

 

Via Giphy.

Tonight's Top Pick is the 25th season finale of The Voice, airing live on NBC. There were a lot of shows I could choose, since we've got a finale pileup, but I feel like I haven't acknowledged The Voice in a while.


While I wonder what on earth this summer's Top Picks will look like, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, May 21. All times are EST.


STREAMING
The Veil, 12:01 a.m., FX on Hulu. "Grandfather's House." "As the jigsaw puzzle becomes clearer to Imogen, she takes matters into her own hands. Max resorts to drastic measures whilst Emir puts pressure on Adilah." Finale next week.

Lolla: The Story of Lollapalooza, 3:01 a.m., Paramount+. Premiere. "In the summer of 1991, the Lollapalooza music festival was born. What started as a farewell tour for the band Jane's Addiction rose from the underground to launch a cultural movement and change music forever. Lolla: The Story of Lollapalooza depicts the exciting and strangely symbiotic 30+ year relationship between the iconic festival and Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction, Porno for Pyros). Throughout the series, Farrell reconnects with what the event has become and reflects on the festival's cultural significance across multiple genres and decades." Three installments available.
