What's On Tonight (Saturday): Providence Falls no more

Providence Falls

Happy August! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, August 2!

Our Top Pick tonight is the series premiere of Providence Falls (Hallmark Channel, 8 p.m.). This miniseries(?) is not a post-apocalyptic sequel to NBC's early '00s drama Providence. Instead, this sounds a little Outlander-y with a story set in 1840s Ireland and 2025 Providence Falls (wherever that is). There's reincarnation and trying to guide someone to a true love (Katie Stevens, Evan Roderick). Something like that. I think I prefer post-apocalyptic Providence.

Elsewhere, Lollapalooza sings, Barbie comes to Dinner, Nat Geo is Naming the Dead, Lifetime will Run, and One Piece stages a reunion.
