What's On Tonight (Tuesday): Having your wings Clipped

 

Via Giphy.

Tonight's Top Pick is the premiere of Clipped, FX on Hulu's miniseries about "The Sterling Affairs." This all somehow passed me by back in the day, but I'm sufficiently intrigued in the here and now.


While I wonder what other scandals from 2013-16 can be dramatized, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, June 4. All times are EST.

Later, "As the team stumbles in the opening round of the playoffs, Doc schools them to insulate their game from distractions.
