| Hedda |
Hi! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, October 29!
Our Top Pick tonight is Hedda (Amazon Prime Video, 3 a.m.). This adaptation of the Henrik Ibsen quintessential play was done by Nia DaCosta as both writer and director. The action moves to 1950s England where the newly-married Hedda (Tessa Thompson) throws a party and invites her husband's (Tom Bateman) rival (Nina Hoss), who also happens to be her ex-lover. Imogen Poots also stars. Reviews have been good.
Elsewhere, Colin Farrell is a Small Player, Abbott celebrates Halloween, Horses save the day, Disney goes anime, Beavis goes to church, Hazbin Hotel reopens, Discovery Channel loves Bigfoot, Sunset is for sale again, Nature has kitties, and Nova is flooded.
