What's On Tonight (Tuesday): Confidential Information

 

Courtesy HBO.

Tonight's Top Pick is Ohio Confidential, the first installment of the two-part The Dark Money Game. It's airing in consecutive nights on HBO and both parts will be available for streaming on Max. Alex Gibney "investigates the shadowy world of political donations and fundraising 15 years after the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, which enabled unlimited spending by hidden sources on political campaigns."

While I reflect on the approximately less than $100 in political donations I've made to date, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, April 15. All times are EST.
