| Arcane |
Ding dong! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, November 16!
Our Top Pick tonight is Arcane (Netflix, 3 a.m.) with this second of three batches of episodes for its second and final season. I haven't watched the new season yet because I've been rewatching the first. Sisters Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) and Jinx (Ella Purnell) reunite after years apart but their relationship is strained as they have conflicting ideas about bettering their segregated home cities and its steampunk technology. Grand scale, lots of world building, and plenty of action. The show, set within the League of Legends universe, won 4 Emmys for good reason.
Elsewhere, Charlie XCX is Live from New York, Big City Greens gets in the Thanksgiving spirit, Juanes goes to the Limits, Dinner and a Movie isn't in Kansas anymore, Roku crowns Miss Universe, and icebergs right ahead for One Piece.

🎥🎄 Jingle Bell Run (Hallmark Channel, 8 p.m. / Peacock, Sunday): In an early evening, someone breaks into Peter Holiday's residence and kills him. Not long after, and far away, Wiley Jurri is killed while traveling home from the market. The assassinations soon Jingle Belle is on high alert. Her former partner and former colleague are dead, likely from someone wanting revenge for a long-ago mission. When her girlfriend believes she is being followed, Jingle flees town trying to lure whoever is after her. She goes from one city to another, unable to see who the tail is. In a pumpkin patch, it becomes a fire fight when reinforcements have been called in, but she escapes, though injured from falling on a pumpkin stem. Exhausted, she lures the 3 figures chasing her and jumps them. One is killed, one flees injured but she manages to catch the last one. This ordeal isn't from Krampus. It's too high stakes, the daughter of the prime minister. The captured one won't give a name but the orders came from an elf. The description shakes Jingle Belle because it matches her step brother, Arthur Charles, key leader of the underworld.
