What's On Tonight (Sunday): It looks like we've got ourselves a Mystery

Mystery Island

Sock it to me? Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, August 17!

Our Top Pick tonight is the latest Mystery Island (Hallmark Channel, 9 p.m. / Hallmark+, Monday) telefilm. This newer Hallmark mystery entry stars Elizabeth Henstridge and Charlie Weber as the overseers of a resort. And someone is always murdered but that's by design. It's a murder-mystery-themed resort. Or so the internet told me. I'd walk up to Henstridge's character and shout "What did you do with Fitz?!"

Elsewhere, Adult Swim gets Shoulder Pads and subtitles, the Nautilus will take down the Company, the Chicken mend fences, help is sought at the Institute, and Lifetime calls this Dead Girl Summer.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Gracenote.)
