What's On Tonight (Sunday): There will be Blood

Vienna Blood

The Witch is back! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, January 5!

Our Top Pick tonight is the season premiere of Vienna Blood (PBS, 10 p.m.). This fourth season might be the last -- I've seen conflicting reports. This British-Austrian period detective import pairs Freudian psychoanalyst Max Liebermann (Matthew Beard) with police detective Oskar Rheinhardt (JΓΌrgen Maurer). They clash but get results. It's satisfactory PBS faire, but definitely not my cup of tea.

Elsewhere, Nikki Glaser get Golden, a new nurse goes to the Towers, Anderson Cooper has a Story, the Heart is still calling, Lifetime vanishes, Food Network finds the Worst, and the Witches return to Mayfair.

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

πŸ† 82nd Golden Globe Awards (CBS / Paramount+, Monday): The biggies this year are Emilia PΓ©rezThe Brutalist, Conclave, Anora, The Substance, The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, and Shōgun. However, this requires you to care about the Golden Globes, which is owned by Penske, owner of the big Hollywood trades. Plus Globe voters are not publicly known, so... they could well be Penske's employees. (The Ankler's coverage of Penske's shady and disturbing ethical behaviors and practices has been top tier.) For the Globeheads, a live thread goes up at 7. Nikki Glaser hosts.
