| Bugs That Rule the World |
Chicago for One, One for Chicago! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, May 21!
Our Top Pick tonight is Bugs That Rule the World (PBS, 10 p.m.). This four-part docuseries examines the crucial role insects play in the environment, including keeping us alive and fed, as well as the immense struggles many are facing as numerous species face steep declines in numbers. Without bugs, our ecosystems fail, but we also don't know too much about so many of them.
Elsewhere, Randall Park spins the Wheel, Strangers return, Chicago preps to disband as One, MasterChef holds auditions, The Studio refuses to be sold off, Gordon Ramsay hires his own Secret Service, and the tribe speaks.
