What's On Tonight (Sunday): Return to the City

City of God: The Fight Rages On

Nants ingonyama bagithi baba! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, August 25!

Our Top Pick tonight is City of God: The Fight Rages On (HBO Latino & Max, 8 p.m.). This TV sequel to Brazil's landmark film City of God follows up on Rocket, now Wilson but still played by Alexandre Rodrigues. The narrator of the original film, he achieved his goal of being a photojournalist, and here he returns to the favela to document the cartels, police, politicians, and daily life.

Elsewhere, the Echoes are over, Snowpiercer needs samples, PETA investigates the Chimp, DILFs get Deadly, Ol' Dirty Bastard gets documentary treatment and Ocean Park releases secrets.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)

ON THE SITE

Cancellation League (10 a.m.): It's that time of the year again. It's time to pick the fall shows we think will flip hardest and quickest. Most accurate person wins.

EARLY STREAMING & EVENING

📺 The John Larroquette Show (Rewind TV, 6 p.m.): John thinks his life is doomed when his wife serves him with divorce papers.

Orphan Black: Echoes (AMC+, 3 a.m. & AMC & BBC America, 10 p.m.): SEASON FINALE. When Charlie gets kidnapped, Lucy is left with a difficult choice. Kira and Eleanor finally uncover the connection between the 12 unidentifiable files and Darros's bigger plan, but it may be too late to stop him.✔️

SEAL Team (Paramount+, 3 a.m.): BRAVO targets a factory in Myanmar that's tied to China and fentanyl production. Lieutenant Davis wants the team to pull intel and destroy the plant.

Serengeti III (Discovery+, 3 a.m.): SEASON PREMIERE. I don't think this nature series' latest season has been released on any other WBD platform prior, so premiering this on Discovery+ is odd. I assume Lupita Nyong'o is still narrating. She does a good job. The series itself is terrible. So much manipulative editing and excessively dramatic arcs.

Snowpiercer (AMC+, 3 a.m. & AMC, 9 p.m.): Nima needs more samples for his experiments, so Milius sends Wilford and the soldiers to collect. Privately, Milius tells Wolf to kill Wilford. Layton wakes up on an abandoned floor and is approached by humans with toxic gas scars.
