What's On Tonight (Monday): Tucci-Tucci-Too ...

 

Via Giphy.

Since Amadeus didn't make it yesterday's Top Pick, I'm claiming Tucci in Italy. The "mouthwatering adventure" series, which airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on National Geographic through June 8, is releasing all five of its episodes today on Disney+ and Hulu. Sorry, Lego Masters, your time will come in the future.


While I reflect on how even the worst Italian meal is better than the best sensation of stepping on a Lego, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, May 19. All times are Eastern.


STREAMING
Tucci in Italy, 3:01 a.m., Disney+/Hulu. Streaming premiere. "Tuscany," "Lombardy," "Trentino-Alto Adige," "Abruzzo," and "Lazio." "(Follow Stanley) Tucci on a visually stunning and deeply personal exploration of the country's breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and the complex connections with its food that have shaped each region's distinct culture and, of course, their iconic pasta." Five episodes available.

The Warehouse Phase, 3:01 a.m., Peacock. Series premiere. "Malachi Moore, or Chi for short (Charlie Curtis-Beard, the show's co-executive producer, apparently totally playing a character), is an overlooked musician who begrudgingly dives into the world of content creation and influencers after Nic P, an infamous rapper and influencer, dies unexpectedly. After being propelled into stardom Chi navigates his newfound audience, authentic self, friendships, and a rocky love life." Six episodes available.

People Like Me, 3:01 a.m., Peacock. Series premiere. "(We follow) a guy (Daren Vongirdner, the show's co-executive producer, playing a variant of himself) navigating the pitfalls of being human. Struggling with anxiety, relationships, and self-doubt, he turns to his therapist for guidance. Through their sessions, he learns to embrace life's unpredictability, often in unexpected ways; sometimes through song, sometimes through dance, and always with humor." Six episodes available.

The Kouncil, 3:01 a.m., Peacock. Series premiere. "Katie Florence (the show's co-executive producer, playing a variant of herself) is picking up the pieces after a crushing breakup. Living alone for the first time, she relies on her personified inner council - to guide her through the chaos of adulthood. Logic pushes for rational decisions, Heart longs for love, Anxiety anticipates every possible disaster, and Lady Parts has her own agenda." Six episodes available.

Older Hotter Wiser, 3:01 a.m., Peacock. Series premiere. "A young woman (Serena Kerrigan, the show's creator, playing a variant of herself?) is ready to take on Hollywood, but first she must get there. When a logistical mishap forces her and her boyfriend (Felix Levine) onto a chaotic road trip to LA, what starts as a simple journey spirals into a wild ride filled with unexpected detours, mischief, and a reckoning with her past." Seven episodes available.

The Brokenwood Mysteries, 3:01 a.m., Acorn TV. "The End of the Line." "A science teacher mysteriously dies ziplining while staffing a leadership camp for teens; after the victim's past reveals a web of uneasy alliances and rivalries, Shepherd must cipher through a long list of suspects." Season finale next week.

The One That Got Away, 3:01 a.m., Acorn TV. "As Ffion and Rick grow closer, past events loom. Ffion uncovers a life-changing secret while a new suspect surfaces. Questions remain about Abbi's murderer and the nurses' safety as day seven nears." Season finale next week.

Harry Wild, 3:01 a.m., Acorn TV. "Murder on the Dance Floor." "After two performers go missing from Genevieve Le Coeur's dance school, Orla and Lola persuade Harry to investigate.
