What's On Tonight (Saturday): Heavy Traffick

Trafficked with Mariana Van Zeller

The first known instance of a man who was killed because he had lousy ratings! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, July 26!

Our Top Pick tonight is Trafficked with Mariana Van Zeller (National Geographic, 9 p.m. / Hulu, Sunday). The fifth season of the investigative docuseries always finds journalist Mariana going to some sketchy and dangerous places. But she always gets a solid story and people to talk on camera. This show has won several Emmys for a reason. This season will cover topics such the cartels, American militias, mail order brides, shark fin hunting, and underground street racing, among others.

Elsewhere, Robert Townsend picks Two, we Just Go with the Dinner, One Piece tells a story, a Father wants to Find Us, and Dandadan comes to Toonami.
