What's On Tonight (Sunday): The best things in life are Chocolate

Like Water for Chocolate

Fall back! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, November 3!

Our Top Pick tonight is the premiere of Life Water for Chocolate (Max, 3 a.m. / HBO Latino, 8 p.m.). This Salma Hayek-Pinault produced retelling of the famous book and solid '90s movie, puts the story in miniseries form. I wasn't that thrilled when I heard about it, but the production quality looks solid. So... I'm in. I'm also a sucker for the story of revolution, forbidden love, and food.

Elsewhere, Krapopolis is time looped, 60 Minutes gears up for the election, Tracker tracks a woman whether she likes it or not, product placement joins the Franchise, Daryl wants to leave France, Simpsons have Horror, and Liam Payne gets a retrospective.

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