What's On Tonight (Sunday): The golden Murder Club girls

The Marlow Murder Club

No whammies! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, October 27!

Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of The Marlow Murder Club (PBS, 9 p.m.). The newest British import courtesy of PBS is about 3 women who are supposedly older but I certainly wouldn't call Jo Martin or Cara Horgan as older. The trio, led by Samantha Bond, investigates murders and apparently does a lot better than the police do. It's based on Robert Thorogood's best-selling book series. Maybe they'll meet up with the Women's Murder Club someday.

Elsewhere, Somebody Somewhere is here for a final season, a cold case comes for The Simpsons, Daryl and Carol are together again, Tracker does a team up, special ops still has its Lioness, Krapopolis has a lot of crap, 60 Minutes investigates sanctions, Ruby fears for the Well, 

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

🎥🎄 The 5-Year Christmas Party (Hallmark Channel / Peacock, Monday): 5,000 years before Christmasia was founded, the troll Ben Haramed assumed power over in the plentiful Pine Valley to the Korrigan Forest. But his reign was not a welcomed one. Over a few years, he unleashed forced tributes and work camps for those he or his spies suspected of disloyalty. He also took control of many industries. After 40 years in power, he thought he was living the high life with no one to fear and money pouring in. His new apprentice has other ideas and over the next 5 years Ali Frees played the strategic game of apprentice outsmarting the master. Trying to ramp up defensive efforts in private but trying to downplay their importance outside to win military confidence. She also poisoned Haramed's drinks regularly for 3 years, slowly seeing him go a little senile. After 5 years, and with Haramed's coffers overflowing and nightly parties at his palace, she makes her move for him to take the bait of removing a couple trusted and respected advisors which should trigger a no-confidence backlash from the rest of his advisory council and generals. She moves in and presents exactly what they want to hear.
