What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Mr. Washington goes to Nova Scotia

Washington Black

Final answer? Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, July 23!

Our Top Pick tonight is the limited series Washington Black (Hulu, midnight). This 1800s-set period drama, based Esi Edugyan's book, has the young George Washington "Wash" Black (Ernest Kingsley Jr. / Eddie Karanja) finding his way to Medwin Harris (Sterling K. Brown) upon fleeing a plantation. It's 8 episodes. Will it continue the trend of "too many episodes?" I assume so.

Elsewhere, Stick has a final plan, Jesus returns to South Park returns, Digman fights the antichrist, Amazon is nice and Shiny, Martin Short hosts the GameFamily Law is back, the Colorado River has a Footprint, and it's public relations in Philadelphia.
