Sorry, Hell's Kitchen, your season finale was thisclose to scoring the Top Pick. Instead, that honor goes to the premiere of Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man, airing in two parts on HBO starting at 8 p.m. I know which one I'd rather watch.
STREAMING
Free Bert, 3:01 a.m., Netflix. Series premiere. "A gloriously messy dad (Bert Kreischer) and his equally unfiltered family cause chaos when they try to fit in with the snobby crowd at their elite new school." For the record, this was my third choice for Top Pick. Six episodes available.
London's Gangsters, 3:01 a.m., AMC+ and Sundance Now. Series premiere. "Twin brothers Reggie and Ronnie Kray ruled East London's underworld in the 1960s, feared for their violence yet admired for their gangster style. Rising from hardship and boxing to crime and celebrity, they built a nightclub empire, mingling with stars. Never-before-heard prison tapes help reveal their complex bond, contrasting personalities, and the power struggles that led to their downfall." Two episodes available.
Canada Shore, 3:01 a.m., Paramount+. Series premiere. "Filmed last summer on the shores of Kelowna, British Columbia, the series brings together 10 bold and unapologetic Canadian singles for a whirlwind season of romance, friendships, and full-throttle fun. From coast to coast to coast, these 10 larger-than-life Canada Shore roommates are ready to party, flirt harder, and turn every night into memories (and maybe a little mayhem). But it's not all hookups and hangovers. Beneath the chaos is a crew that laughs together, fights together, and somehow becomes a family."
Finding Her Edge, 3:01 a.m., Netflix. Series premiere. "A former ice dancer (Madelyn Keys) returns to the rink with an exciting new partner (Cale Ambrozic) while holding onto feelings for her old one — her first love (Olly Atkins)." Based on Jennifer Iacopelli's book. Eight episodes available.
Disneyland Handcrafted, 3:01 a.m., Disney+. Special presentation. "Revealing the extraordinary artistry and grit it took hundreds of craftspeople to bring Walt Disney's impossible dream project of Disneyland to fruition." Directed by Leslie Iwerks, granddaughter of Mickey Mouse co-creator Ub Iwerks.
Gangs of London, 3:01 a.m., AMC+. "Sean, Billy and Cornelius make a drastic attempt to reclaim London. When their plan goes wrong, Sean faces the growing realisation that the Wallace name and the reputation he has built no longer mean anything to the city he once ruled."
Sanctuary: A Witch's Tale, 3:01 a.m., AMC+. "Having unbound Lachlan, Harper fears she might have damaged his magic forever. Fearful of the ramifications, Sarah hands over Starcross to the Moot. When Bea goes missing, the killer's identify is revealed. Sarah and Harper fight to save her life." Season finale next week.
Shetland, 3:01 a.m., Britbox. "While Calder pressures Louden for help and Tosh investigates Robert Tulloch, Stevie's battle to keep her sister turns desperate."
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, 3:01 a.m., Paramount+. "Vitus Reflux." "While the cadets compete to join an elite team at the Academy, a battle of escalating pranks breaks out between Starfleet Academy and a rival school. Tensions rise fast, threatening their newly-emerging bonds and a blossoming romance."
